CHRIS' POV
I wake up lying on the ground. If I recall correctly, I slept on the bed in the inn, but now when I wake up, I'm here laying on the ground. When I stood up, I realized that I was not in the inn but instead inside a dark room, and the only light that I could see was the one outside the steel bars.
When I realized that I was being imprisoned, I immediately ran towards the steel bars and held onto them.
"Help me!" "Why am I here?" "I didn't do anything bad," I shouted while holding onto the steel bars tightly.
"So you're awake now, little miss." Sorry for suddenly dragging you here. "You must be confused." "Why are you here, right?" "Don't worry; when your father comes, you will be set free, so just wait there patiently, okay?" said a man who just came out of the dark corridor and sat down in front of me outside the steel bars.
The man looks like he is in his late thirties; he has blonde hair and brown eyes, and he has a cheerful smile on him. He looks like a kind man who wouldn't even think about kidnapping a child, but contrary to his looks, maybe he's a bad person. While I'm thinking about that, something about what he said just sinks in.
"Father?" I asked.
"Eh? You're not his daughter? "But someone clearly saw you with them," he said.
"Are you referring to Uncle William?" I asked.
"Ah!" "Yeah, yeah, that's him, the blue-haired magician, right?" He asked.
"Yeah, that's Uncle William, but what did he do to you?" "Did he do something bad so you kidnapped me?" "Maybe you mistook him for someone else because Uncle William won't do anything bad," I said.
"No, he didn't do anything wrong; on the contrary, I'm the bad person here, but I can't do anything about it, so sorry, little miss," he said with a sad face.
When I was about to ask about what he meant by that, someone came out of the darkness again. He has dark hair and eyes; he looks like he is in late adolescence, and he has a serious face.
"It's my time to watch the hostage take your break now," said the man, who has dark hair.
"Oh! It's that time already?" "Little miss, it seems like I have to go now." "Just wait until your uncle comes and takes you, and don't make any noise." "This guy here is hotheaded, so be careful," the blonde guy whispered to me.
"Did you really think I wouldn't hear that?" "Get out of here now, or I'll kill you," said the dark-haired man.
"Sorry, sorry, haha." "Don't forget to clean that room too after his uncle takes her." "I already finished cleaning the next room, so it's your turn now, haha," he said, then laughed.
After that, he disappeared in the darkness of the corridor.
"Tsk, that Conrad really pissed me off," the dark-haired man mumbled after the blonde man, Conrad, left.
After he said that, he looked at me, who was staring at him.
"If you're thinking that I'm like that guy, then get that out of your mind." "We're not the same." "I won't talk to you as if we're friends." "Don't forget that you're the hostage and we're the kidnappers."
"Did you get it?" he asked.
"Yeah," I answered.
"Don't make any noise or I'll kill you," he said with a serious face.
I got scared and stepped backward. I again remember that I'm being kidnapped here; I slightly forgot it because of how mister Conrad talked to me, but now it resurfaced in my mind after he said that.
While thinking that, I sat down on the ground.
What did Uncle William do to make these guys go to such lengths as to kidnap me?
Maybe they have a grudge against Uncle William, and when he comes, he will be beaten up in exchange for me being set free, or maybe Will will fight and get hurt because of me again. Those thoughts keep circling my mind while I'm sitting.
I shouldn't be the cause for them to get hurt; I'll escape here myself, I said in my mind.
But even if I said I would escape, I don't even know how to do it.
When I'm thinking about that, I suddenly realize that I haven't peed since morning, and after realizing that, I suddenly feel like I can't hold it.
"Mister, I need to pee," I said.
"Huh? Why do you need to tell me? "Just do it there," he said.
"But you will clean this room after I am released, right?" "Do you want to clean my pee too?" I asked.
"Tsk, hurry up," he said, then got the key from his pocket and opened the lock.
"If you ever try to escape, I will kill you," he said, threatening me.
"I understand," I said.
After that, we walked in the dark corridor, and on our way, I saw a staircase leading upstairs; maybe that's the way to go outside of here. After that, we continued to walk and finally reached the end of the corridor, where there was a door.
"That's the toilet; hurry up," he said.
"Okay," I replied before finally entering the bathroom, after which I closed the door and did my business.
After I finished my business, I started preparing for my plan to escape here.
"I call an arrow of water here and now." "Let the tremendous protection of water be upon the location thou seekest." I chanted silently.
"Aaaaaaaaaah!" I shouted, and then after that, the black-haired man opened the door, surprised at my shout.
"Water arrow!" I shouted, then three arrows headed towards him and hit him; he didn't have the time to dodge because the arrows were released at really close range.
One arrow hit his left arm, the other hit his left thigh, and the last one hit his side, but in his side there was a sheath of a sword, so it really didn't hit him directly.
"Aaaarrrrggggghhhhh!" He shouted, then fell to the ground.
"You fucking child! I'll fucking kill you!" He shouted.
But before he shouted that, I had already started to run towards the stairs that lead upstairs.
"This time I won't be a burden to uncle William and Will; I will escape here myself and be praised by them," I mumbled while running in the dark corridor.
