Pita–!
Pita–!
I awoke to the sounds of raindrops pattering against the hardwood of a rundown cabin and noticed my hands were tied up by a durable rope.
"D*mnit, what happened to me?" I questioned aloud with utter confusion dripping from my tone
Taking in more of my surroundings I noticed a barricaded door shut tightly to keep someone inside and the leftover items which I deemed to mean that whoever's place this is is still inhabited, were they in a hurry?
'Tied up though? I've been kidnapped no matter how I spin it, why? and how?"
Panic started flooding to my mind as the reality dawned on me and stress came immediately as I realized, I didn't even know who I was, what life I lived
"Who am I?"
All these questions ran through my mind but I realized the time didn't call for this and I had to move fast!
'I'll worry later, the first thing is getting out of this place!'
I got up quickly albeit shakily noticing my legs were sore and I searched around the room for a couple minutes finding a long steel pole laying down
'Perfect'
I sat down letting my back touch the hardwood floor and used my legs to bring the pole to my chest and rested it just enough for my hands to be there and forced my hands to go back and forth hoping the pole would break the rope
Creak–!
Creak–!
Crack–!
"Good, a success after about 2 minutes," I tallied up how long I'd been thinking and inside the cabin and estimated that it had been 10 minutes or so
'Weird, I'm oddly calm?' I thought to myself but I brushed it aside as I had more pressing matters to pertain to
I picked up the pole with haste and used it to break the barricades and go out the door thinking my freedom was certain but…
THWACK–!
"Keuhk!" Falling down I saw a shoe fall from atop of the door filled with sandbags to make it heavy enough to leave someone incapable of walking
Drip–!
I brought my hand to my head subconsciously and cursed at my luck
'Damnit, It drew blood, and–'
"Ey Ren! One of them's escaping!" I heard from a gruff voice that seemed to come from behind the cabin.
I tried to stand with haste but fell back down realizing the shoe had made my head woozy and I saw a man standing at 6,5 watching me from the side of the house with a hatchet in his house
"Oh? The critter isn't out cold yet?" He said chillingly as a maniacal smile grew on his face
"!!!"
'Push through the pain me!' I gritted my teeth and ran, running in the sludge of mud that had been created due to the heavy rain
"Huaaaaa"
Breathing heavily I kept running without turning back hitting some zig zags to lose him and after a heavily horror-inducing moment of scaredness, my body couldn't take anymore and after 5 minutes of running away my body collapsed from fatigue
"Shit!"
'No no no, I can't die yet… not before–"
And the last sight I was greeted with was a man and a young lady holding a makeshift lantern with expressions I couldn't read.

[A New Place]
"Huammmm"
Yawning loudly, I sat up groggily wiping my eyes, and saw a new room presented in front of me
'Wood cabin again, more decorations than the last though? No matter'
Thinking that I was in danger again I tried to get up yet a sound alerted me of a visitor
The door opened slowly which alarmed me, thinking I would need to fight my way out but was surprised when
"Ahhhh!"
A girl seemed startled by my presence and dropped some bandages and that's when I finally noticed that this was one of the silhouettes I had made out before passing
'Haaa, I was scared for nothing'
"Hello?" I said succinct
The girl just stared at me dumbfoundingly and muttered something I couldn't hear whilst slowly inching towards the door
"Wait no! I have q–"
SLAM–!
'Just my luck' I thought, sprawling out on the bed before I winced at the pain in my head.
gently caressing the bandage I tried to piece together who I am as I couldn't get any answers from the girl but whenever I tried a huge migraine would come to me as if a warning, a warning that I'd be better off without knowing.
"Kaylie, are you sure the boy is up?"
"Yes yes! I saw it!"
I heard 2 voices scarcely, one which I recognized and the other I thought back to the other figure I saw before passing out
'Is this…?'
The door opened abruptly and a look of concern, surprise and happiness? Whatever it is shown on the man's face
"Oh, it seems you weren't lying Kaylie, hello I'm sure you may be very confused with things so come with me down memory lane will ya'?"
I looked at him with aversion but noted that this is my chance to learn things so I nodded and got up
"What's your name?" I questioned
"Robert, Robert Pine, you?"
I shrugged my shoulders and he looked at me as if trying to gauge if I'm lying but not sensing anything he said "Alright, well think of a name for yourself so the people know what to call you,"
"Other people?" I questioned abruptly
He glanced towards Kaylie and she left the room and he stared at me solemnly
"Listen, that cabin you were in, is the house of these two slave owners, you sell body parts, drugs, and everything illegal,"
"!!!"
"So… I was gonna get sold or worse killed?"
He nodded confirming my assumptions, 'Damn I thought maybe they wanted to extort me or something but to try to kill me?'
My stomach churned at the thought and it must of shown cause Mr. Robert hurriedly said "Oh but you got away and are safe for now ya' know?"
Catching the hidden meaning I nodded
'So these people here who escaped are still in danger, this is frustrating'
Quietness lingered in the room and I decided I'd be truthful
"Truthfully, I don't know anything, how I got here, who I am? All of my memories have just vanished,"
His eyes widened and said "That's… depressing,"
"Well, this is the main cabin, there are 6 cabins with this main one here holding the "Leaders" of this little situation and we have you here because this was where our medical supplies was,"
"Thank you for saving me," I got up and slightly bowed and he accepted it saying "Well, what are we waiting for? Come see what we have going on,"
I followed him closely and he yelled for Kaylie to accompany us, "H-hey- sorry for getting a little scared! It's just.. You were sleeping for 2 days," she said not looking me in the eyes
"What!?" I turned to Robert and he nodded confirming what she said
'I could have d-' I croaked in my mind but went back to a calm facade on the outside.
'If they are hoping to get rid of those people they need competent people so I must appear to be of worth lest they kick me out if they are heartless'
"Do they have far combat weapons?" I asked remembering the hatchet I had saw with the one that was named Ren
"We… Do not know unfortunately," Rob said looking shameful
I nodded mad at the revelation but he spoke up quickly "But, we have made a lot of progress," As we reached the door he opened it up and said "Voila, welcome to our base!"
