Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Winehouse

I woke up with a slight headache, my eyes hurt, but my skull hurt more. Everything came rushing in fast and I tried to take my hands to my head but I couldn't. I looked down to see and I was not too surprised to see that I was strapped to a chair, my hands and legs tied. 'just like in action movies' I thought with a pained chuckle. Never have I imagined I would find myself in a situation like this.

The room was dark, allowing just a little sunlight in and that was how I knew it was daybreak already. I can't believe I had slept throughout the night in the enemy's tent.

I heard the doorknob twist and I looked up to see someone walk in. From his silhouette, I could tell he was a man. But I couldn't see his face clearly due to the low amount of light in the room.

"You're awake" I heard him say. His voice was everything, it sounded cold and it made my heart rate increase. The type of fear one gets when you move too far away from the crew in a horror movie, that was the kind of fear I felt at that moment.

"Who are you?" I mastered the courage to ask, even though I couldn't tell if he heard me clearly from the way I spoke and how low my voice was.

"Does that even matter?" He asked

"It does, if you're going to kill me, then at least I deserve the honor of knowing who you are" I said without much thought.

"Kill you? And who said anything about killing you?" He asked and I was a little bit confused.

"Then why bring me here?" I asked curiously. Since he was answering my questions, the least I could do was ask them all at once.

"Your dad owes me money princess and killing you would not bring back my money. But there are other things that can" He said as he drew closer, grabbing a chunk of my hair in his hands and inhaling it. That action irritated me a lot.His cologne clouded my nostrils as he stayed in that position and I was tempted to lean in and take a whiff of his hair too, but I knew better.

"Are you going to sell me out?" I asked as it was the first thought that came to my mind.

"Yeah, but in a different way" He answered and that was when it dawned on me. My vision got blurry as tears gathered at the corners of my eyes.

"Why?" Was the only word I managed to let out.

"Obviously because your father choosed the wrong person to mess with" Was the curt reply he gave me.

"I hate you" I yelled, years dropping out of my eyes.

"Fortunately young lady, the feeling is mutual" He answered, his voice maintaining its calm.

"Come on in" He said and two bulky men walked into the room, their eyes fixed on me.

"Take her to the Winehouse" He said before turning back to the door and he walked out of the room. I tried to struggle with the men but I was no match for them and I was subdued and blindfolded. They put some sort of cloth above my nose and I passed out after a while.

When I woke up, I was no longer in a blindfold, and I saw myself in some other place, it was a room, different from the one I was in before. The room was bright and calm. The room was pretty big, I could probably say as big as our living room at home, or even bigger. It made me wonder what it was for.

I was not in my other clothes anymore, I was in a two piece that left no sort of my body out of prying eyes. I didn't even want to imagine who had changed me out of my former clothes. Using my hands, I tried to cover myself but my hands did nothing to shield my exposed body.

I heard movement outside and the first thought that came into my head was to hide. I ran to the far corner of the room, about to hide behind the curtains when the door was pushed open.

A group of girls ran into the room giggling. It seemed they didn't notice my presence or they just choose not to acknowledge me. They were dressed in the same way I was and that prompted me to bring my hands down. At least, I wasn't the only one.

"Have you chosen your outfit Freya?" One of them asked another one among the others.

"No I haven't. Lisa asked me to come for them later, I can't wait" She said before giggling.

I watched them take off their clothes one by one, changing into some less revealing ones. In no time, they were done dressing up and I just stood at the side watching them.

My stomach rumbled and that reminded me that I had not eaten for a whole day. I stopped hearing the chattering and I looked up to see one of the girls staring at me wide-eyed. Seems she heard the rumbling.

"Damn" She yelled, drawing the attention of others who were in the room.

"Wow" Another one of the girls said when she turned to look at me and this time around, I got confused.

"She's beautiful" One of the other girls said and a blush crept up my cheeks.

"She's not only beautiful, she got the body of a goddess" The first one said again

"A goddess of seduction" Another added

I felt shy under their scrutiny and I bowed my head slightly.

One of the girls walked up to me, a smile on her face.

"Hi, I'm Freya" She introduced herself and I gave a slow nod, still too shy to look at her.

"I'm Kayla" I introduced myself too.
