Linda looked out the small stone window onto the misty, grass covered hills that went on as far as the eye could see.
"You can't keep me here forever," she whispered, but she knew that they could.
"And why can't we," the deep, masculine voice replied back from the corner. We've got you, Jason and someone else we're gonna' go hassle with in a few minutes, after I visit Jason…." The voice cut off. Linda whirled around to face him.
"Who else now?" she shouted, staring at him with a mixture of fear and concern spreading across her face. The man grinned wide, but didn't respond. "Who is it?"!" Linda shouted again.
"You can't guess?" the man said, teasing her. Linda stared hard at him. The man laughed.
"Well, you're obviously getting no where with that so I might as well tell you. Although, I'm not so sure you want to hear it."
"Tell me!" Linda ordered.
"I suggest you re-check your status, Linda," the man growled. "You're not in the position to be making commands, here."
Linda sighed and sat down on the pile of straw below the small window.
"Ok. Go ahead. Who was it?" The man's grin grew until it was ear to ear. Slowly, he rose up out of his chair and approached Linda.
"Your dear little boyfriend."
Linda's face went ashen and her eyes grew wide.
"Nate!" she screamed, and then she was struck unconscious.

"I was going to…" Jason started to say, but he cut off in mid-sentence and put his finger to his lips. Nate looked at him curiously, but then he heard the reason for Jason's pause. Someone was coming up the stairs that led to the corridor outside Jason's door.
"Nate, get out of here quick!" Jason whispered.
Nate sat frozen, staring at the door.
"Now!" Jason said, slapping him. Nate jumped up and ran out the door, shutting it behind him.
"Go, Nate," Jason whispered, closing his eyes and falling back onto the straw.
As Nate got into the long corridor, he paused; listening intently. Loud, bulky steps continued to echo through the hallway, getting closer and closer. Nate bit his lip and then dove into the last door on the right. The steps ceased all together. The room Nate was now in was almost completely black. The only light there was, came through a tiny window near the ceiling that let in a small square of light, illuminating a pile of hay near the corner. As Nate looked over to the hay pile, he gasped. Lying there, completely still, lay Linda.
"Linda?" Nate whispered, staring at her with horror.
'Please don't be dead,' he thought. A grunt came from the hay pile. Nate strained his eyes and saw that Linda was moving. His entire face lit up and he rushed toward the corner.
"Linda!" he cried as he kneeled down onto the floor and swept her body into his lap. She moaned and opened her eyes.
"Nate?" she asked, staring up at him. Then it all came together in her mind.
"Nate!" She threw her arms around him. Nate smiled and kissed her whole face.
"I love you," he whispered, before he kissed her lips.
"And I love you," Linda whispered back.
"Awwww, isn't that sweet? The two lovebirds finally found each other," a new voice said from the doorway. Suddenly, the room was filled with torchlight. Linda and Nate both looked up to see Caitlyn standing in the doorway, glaring at them. Nate fell back onto the straw.
"Caitlyn?" he said, staring at her. "You did all this?"
Caitlyn grinned.
"Hello, Nate. I tried to warn you, but it's like I've always said. Guys are so stubborn."
Nate sat dumbstruck for a moment, and then he quickly got up and stood protectively in front of Linda.
"You can't hurt her," he said, through gritted teeth.
"Nate," Caitlyn said smoothly. "This is your last chance to redeem yourself. So far, you're not doing such a good job at it, but we'll give it one last shot. What's it going to be? Her? Or me?"
Nate narrowed his eyes.
"Linda," he said; his voice firm and decided. Caitlyn fell back a step, obviously not expecting this answer from him. She was the one with a room full of thugs. Power and brute force were on her side, weren't they?
"Fine," she said icily. "Say goodbye, Nate."
Nate looked at her quizzically, keeping his body between the Linda and the thugs. However, the thugs didn't go after Linda. They went after Nate. All three of them picked him up off the ground and held him tight against themselves as Caitlyn stepped forward.
"Bye-bye, Sweetheart," she said, blowing him a kiss. Then the thugs picked him up, and threw him out the window; a two and a half story drop to the bottom of a stony cliff.
Man! These ideas just keep rapidly popping into my head bigger and better (well, I don't know about the better part, that's up to you. But they are definitely getting bigger and stranger….)
Anyway. Hope you liked it, thank you for reading, sorry it took so long and REVIEWS requested, please. Gracias!!
