Chapter 4

I wake up and my head is spinning. A headache from hell, I don't know if it's from the wine or being struck with a gun on the head. I look around and it's dark, there's a pungent smell and the sound of a tap dripping.

There are footsteps heading this way, the door creaks open and the stalker appears. "You are awake" he says as he takes the chair in front of me. He's holding a water bottle, "you must be thirsty" he says as he opens the bottle.

I actually am thirsty and hungry but I'm too scared to focus on the thirst and the hunger. My head is killing me, I need painkillers but I can't exactly ask my abductor to give me some painkillers.

He stands up and instructs me to open my mouth. He pours the water in my mouth and my thirst is quenched. "Now that you are hydrated, let's get you talking. If you cooperate I might get you something to eat" he says as he sits down on the chair again.

I'm confused about this whole thing and what does he want to talk about, does he want to ask about Alexander? But I don't know anything about him except for his name.

"Where is he?" He asks firmly. "Who?" I ask knowing exactly who he's talking about. "I'm not gonna play with you, you know who I'm talking about" his voice is getting tense and loud. "I don't where he is, I don't know anything about him" I say with my voice breaking.

"Princess, I'm not gonna ask again" he stands up. "All I know about him is that his name is Alexander, he didn't tell me anything else. He just said he's going home and I don't know where his home is" I say while crying. He slaps me and the slap makes a noise that echoes across the room. I feel my cheek throbbing in pain and I can tell that the slap left a mark.

"He called someone using my phone, you can call that number maybe you can reach him through it" I say as my tongue rolls inside my mouth tasting copper. I've never been slapped by a man or anyone before, this pain is new and excruciating.

"Now that's something tangible, did you have to wait for me to slap you before you cooperate?" He looks at me with disdain. Was that a rhetorical question or does he expect me to answer him. I keep quiet while tears keep rolling down my cheeks. The left side of my face is heating up and numb at the same time.

He takes my phone and goes through the call log and dials the unsaved number. The call gets through, "If you don't want her to die you better listen to me and listen to me carefully" he walks to the corner of the room. I try to eavesdrop but I can't hear anything. I hope for my sake that Alexander or whoever that number belongs to tries to save me.
