MISPER

With Him

Mikan leaned her back on the wall behind her. She had no idea how long had it been, but it felt like she was in here for years. When she had finally calmed down she felt around the place and realized that there was a box with different kinds of food and bottles of water in it. There was also a towel and a blanket, which she was currently having around her shoulders. There was not much space in general. She went through some working out exercises so her muscles would not hurt, but her big body did not allow her to move too much.

She mostly lied on her back and moved her feet around.

There was a flashlight and she turned it on when she found it. She took a look around and realized that yes, this was a huge wooden box. The ceiling could be removed, but it was currently fastened. She guessed she had to be careful about the food, to not eat everything right away so she could survive long enough to…

She did not really know…

Will she even come out of this alive?

That brought tears to her eyes. She caressed her stomach, her child kicking. ''It's going to be all right, little one.'' She whispered. ''We'll get you out of this somehow. The police is searching for us, I'm sure. Inspector Hyuuga… Natsume is searching for us.''

She was sitting in darkness because she did not want to use up the battery of the flashlight. It was silent for a long time before she suddenly heard the ceiling being removed. She looked up, hope filling her up, but then a familiar face appeared above her.

''Miss, how do you feel?'' Persona asked from above. Mikan could see the sky, it was night and the moon was shining.

''Please let me out!'' she called, crying.

''I can't do that.'' He rejected he gently. Mikan had no idea why he was so polite. ''You have food and you have water. I'm afraid you'll have to use those big bags in the box as the toilet. If you run out of anything, I'll bring you more.'' He explained.

''Just let me out! Please!'' Mikan tried again, scrambling to her feet. She was too heavy so she sat down again.

''Don't move too much, Miss. It's not good for the child. When it's time, just scream loud enough. I'll hear you.'' Then he closed the ceiling and Mikan was left behind screaming for help. He was seriously going to wait for her to give birth, and then… What then? Is he going to kill her?

''Let me out!'' her shrill voice rang around the box and out.

''Let me out!''

But there was no one else who could hear her.

Because she was in the middle of nowhere.

Alone.

With Persona.
