I felt numb. After they took away Jack, I was pulled and my arms were tied, and my legs were tied together. At least I wasn't getting... you know what.
"Where's Jack?" I murmured, even though no one would hear me, or bother listening.
Soon, he was tied next to me again, except farther. He looked at me, I looked at him. We were both scared, maybe I was a little more.
Come on, Blye, I told myself. Fight.
The first guy came and punched me in the face. I groaned and my nose started bleeding. Another one came and started punching Jack. I was screaming for him to stop, but Jack's groans and moans were making it worse, almost to the point where it was unbearable, and I wanted to plug my ears. Meanwhile, the other man was beating me, but I didn't feel it as much. It was Jack who I needed to get out of here alive.
"Please!" I cried. "Stop!" I was in so much pain, it hurt when I took a breath. Probably a broken rib. The tears were clogging my eyes and I felt like dying.
Please find me soon. I begged Deeks. Wherever you are.
They stopped. Only for a bit though. They came over and had a sword. This is it, I thought. But he cut my arm deeply. I winced in pain again. Maybe not winced, maybe more like cried. They just let it bleed out, and my blood was collected into a small pail, and poured it around my neck and a but on the ground. One came over with a knife.
I stopped shaking immediately, and became petrified, my eyes going wide. One made a small cut on my neck, and I was so thankful they didn't slit it, but the wound in my arm that was currently bleeding out hurt like hell. They untied me and shoved me on the ground and they did the exact same with Jack.
"Act dead!" yelled the one. He had what looked like a camera. I didn't have to pretend. I felt like dying already. Then it got me thinking. What if they sent this to someone? What if they sent it to NCIS? What if Deeks and the boys saw it? Would they give up? They probably don't even know that I'm here.
A little tear slivered out of my eye. Deeks, why can't you help me, Deeks? Now I really wished that I never burned the photo. They left us alone, except for two that were eating in the corner.
I went back to that time with Deeks, after dinner. His body felt so close and I felt so happy and in a place I wanted to be in, yet worried at the same time.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"You know if we do this, this changes everything." I said.
"So what do you want to do?" he asked,
"I don't want to have to have to choose." I said, the tears welling up.
"Then don't choose." he said.
"You know that's not how it works. What do you think is going to happen?"
"I don't know. I don't care." he said.
"What are you doing to me, Deeks?" my voice cracking.
"Falling in love with you." he said, kissing me.
Mu thoughts were interrupted by a hit to my head. I groaned.
"Wake up." said the Talib. I wanted to die. I felt woozy too. I'd lost so much blood from the arm, I'm surprised that I survived until now.
He punched me again. "Wake up, ah." His creepy smile bore into my soul. Maybe not into my soul, but definitely enough to keep me scared.
"You're CIA, ha" asked the man, holding my head up by my hair.
"I told you, I am not." I said. I got punched again. This time, harder and having the metallic taste of blood fill my mouth.
He yelled something in a language I didn't understand and another one tossed him a sword. I gasped and started freaking out.
"Most people believe that we chop off head quickly." he said, pointing it at my neck. We saw it off, slowly, ah."
I kept freaking out and gasping until I started crying, while they began laughing, and their laughter made me cry harder. Jack looked over from his wall with an angry and vengeful look on his face, but he couldn't move a foot with his chains. Please, Deeks, help me. Save me from this barbaric cave and the people in them, and hold me in your arms again, like you did before when we were alone, and I treasure every moment we had together, Deeks.
You are now my tether.
This chapter was a mix of the photo taking, (the one they found in the cave) and the deleted Densi kiss, which you can find on You Tube. Review? How am I doing?
