Chapter 4 lily-livered half-back gorilla

Lexa was started awake. She was still on the floor by the door, but there was something different. Someone had changed her clothes. She blushed at the thought. She had never dressed in front of anyone, let alone had someone change her clothes for her. She pulled herself up with the bars of the door, falling a few times, and finally standing.

She was silent at first, and then, "Hello? Can someone tell me where I am?" She heard footsteps, and backed away from the door a little. A man stepped in front of the door. He looked familiar, and then it clicked.

"Peter! Why am I here? Why are you doing this? What do you want with me?" Lexa pushed, and pulled on the steel bars as she yelled, to no avail.

"Lexa, please-" He saw the fire ignite in her eyes, and subconsciously took a half-step back as she pressed her face through the bars.

"Do not call me Lexa. You lost that right when you dragged me here, you lily-livered half-back gorilla!" She saw hurt, and anger flash across his face before he was composed again.

Alexandra. I promise on my life to get you out of here. You're being held here by the Queen of The Third World. I don't know what she want's with you, and I do not intend to find out." As quickly as he came, he was gone.
