Lili woke up with the biggest headache she ever had. She couldn't remember what happened. Her body was slowly coming to sense when she noticed she was lying on a bed.
Nothing unusual.
Unusual was that she had shackles on her leg and she felt something around her neck. Her brain couldn't take it first. She was in an unknown room on a bed. With shackles. Headache.
Nothing else was there except doors. Not even a window. Only bed. Without a pillow.
Lili tried to remember what had happened. But she couldn't. Her head was killing her. She tried to sit up, but she got sick as fuck. She laid there for who knows how long when her brain started to work very slowly, but her stomach still wasn't cooperating.
That fucker kidnapped her.
The door slammed open, and she jerked herself. HE came in and looked at her from the bottom up. It was so disgusting. That slick gaze. How come she did not notice it before?
Her still hazy mind just uttered: "Why?" And Adam laughed.
"Because I always get what I want. And you were always mine. Since the beginning." He threw a plastic bottle with water on the bed, took a chair from behind the doors, and closed them.
"You were always flirting with me. I just thought you wanted to be pure and wait for the wedding." Lili was so shocked. Since when does the absence of anything physical mean that you love somebody and want to be pure for him? But she let him continue. She was frightened to do anything to make him hurt her.
"Then you run away. To China. I thought it was because you were sulking that I didn't pay enough attention to you. So, when you came back, I talked to you more." For Lili, it was so hard to have a poker face on because she did not get him at all. How did his morbid brain get to this conclusion?
"I really enjoyed that fest with you when you came back. You paid so much attention to me, but I had to go back to work. And because you were distracting me so much at work, one of my patients died," he said. But Lili was so shocked. How was it her fault?
"It's your fault. I saw it on your face. You flirted with me so much I couldn't get you out of my mind. I'm a perfect doctor. Without you, none of them would die." Lili was speechless.
She did nothing at all. He was crazy. Now she feared him much more. He was so unstable that everything she would do could anger him. She was good at handling stressful situations, but this was too much. She had a problem not starting crying.
Did she tell anyone where she was going? Her mind was so messy. What to do. Lili frantically looked around for anything to guard herself with. Nothing.
"And then you fled away again, with that Chinese dude that came to visit you because I was busy. You haven't talked to me at all afterward and that pissed me off. So, I made use of the password to your account. I remembered when I saw you writing it on Animefest. I knew from Lucy that you met in games, so I sold everything from your account. But you started to play, even more, and with his team. So, when you came back, I used your work as an excuse to meet you."
He was talking and talking like a typical evil guy. She knew he just wanted her attention. He was always seeking attention. But this was extreme.
"So, now, you will be only mine. Not his. Mine forever. I'll be your first and your last," Adam said, and Lili feared what would happen next.
"You used anesthetic on me?" Lili tried to talk to him more. So, it won't come to what she feared the most.
"Yes, don't worry. You should be okay now. The dizziness will pass so you can enjoy our intimate moments." Oh, fuck. He was really thinking THAT.
"You know. Adam. I'm not ready yet. I still feel dizzy and I need a shower, so I will be clean for you. But I could fall in the shower now." Lili had problems not freaking out. She wanted to scream, yell, cry.
She could only try to delay what he wanted to do. And not to antagonize him, because he could have a weapon anywhere. Adam looked like he was pondering about it.
"I will leave you, for now. Sleep it off. I will come later to help you in the shower," he came to a conclusion, got up, and left even with the chair.
Lili was trying to hold on so much. Not to cry. Think about how to behave. How to get out of there. How to avoid the thing he wanted to do. And mostly, how to not freak out and keep thinking straight.
Fortunately, she told Lucy what was going on, and where she was going, and Lei would definitely call Lucy if Lili didn't call him or message him back for a longer period of time. Maybe they would find her quickly, thanks to that.
Lili touched the thing on her neck and found out it was the choker she made. So that was why… He really had fantasies about her.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Lili smelled wetness, mold, stale air… and earth. She must have been somewhere in a cellar or something underground. That explained the absence of windows.
Nothing could be heard, no rats, no other animals. No running water or… suddenly a domestic waterwork came off and startled Lili. She was somewhere out of town, somewhere with well. Nice to know that if she ran away, there might be no one around to help.
She spent the next half an hour listening, smelling, and trying to figure out her surroundings. And noticed that there was a safety opener on the shackles. As was on her choker.
Calmed down, Lili went back to sleep off her dizziness from the anesthetic.
