A quick glance at my phone told me that it was after school hours. Of course, as soon as the car took off, one of the men confiscated my phone so I didn't know that. All I knew was that my arm was starting to fall asleep, and I was on the verge of a complete breakdown. It was all I could do to keep from hyperventilating. Why on earth did we have to drive this far away from the city?!
My heart was beating too rapidly, and I'm pretty sure the oxygen level was getting low in the trunk from my increase in breathing. My face felt hot, and I was clutching my chest in panic.
Why did I have to take so long washing my hands?! Why did I break my glasses?! WHY COULDN'T I JUST DO WHAT I WAS TOLD?! WHY DIDN'T I TAKE A BATHROOM BUDDY? WHY DID I PUSH TAMAKI AWAY?!
If I was going to die, had I even given my sister a proper goodbye this morning? Told her I loved her? Thanked Tamaki for his friendship? Eaten anything Renge cooked for me? Told each of the host members how much I value them-besides financial?
Would the kidnappers also go after the other host club members? Who were they targeting next? Did they know Haruhi's father wouldn't be able to pay any ransom? Were they just planning to kill us?!
I felt the car pull to a stop, and my breathing quickened. The footsteps crunched closer and closer on what I can only assume was gravel. The trunk opened, and I barely caught a glimpse of the red sunset before a cloth was tied around my eyes. Rough hands grabbed my arm and pulled me harshly out of the trunk. The first thing I noticed was the smell of sardines, and the sounds of rushing water. Were we near the ocean?! I was pushed forward for a while until the temperature changed for the colder, and the floor became more solid. We were inside now.
After an eternity of walking, the cloth was ripped from my eyes and I was shoved into a dark room. I spun on my heel just in time to see the door closing. I backed up as far from the door as I could until I hit a wall. I sank down and pulled my knees to my chest.
I didn't have any escape plan. No phone. No knowledge of location, beyond 'near water.' Only Tamaki knew that I needed rescue. No clue as to who these men were or their motives. Alone. Without proper vision. Literally, in the dark. No resources. No sense of time. This was a major problem.
I was officially frightened. That was new. I'm not really familiarized with this emotion, so it can't move beyond hyperventilating, shaking, and stuttering.
But apparently, I wasn't all that scared because I still managed to fall asleep fairly quickly-meaning, in like two hours or so when I lost oxygen flow to my brain.
A/N: Panic attacks are not fun at all... neither is literally crying yourself to sleep. I did that once in seventh grade. I got freaked out because I suddenly lost all of my inspiration to write anything, and I thought my brain was trying to make me give up on life... I started sobbing until I couldn't breathe and I passed out. *nods in remembrance* Good times!
