Audrey's POV

 

  'I am not a prisoner here'

 

  'I am not a prisoner here'

 

  I kept chanting the words to myself hoping I would believe them but each time I said them it was obvious how much I was lying to myself. Of course, I am a prisoner here, I was kidnapped from my dorm, and then drugged on my way here probably so that I wouldn't know how to escape if J didn't. He just said words to make all of this sound better but it's not working... It's not even close to it.

 

  Another knock on the door snapped me back to reality, I didn't even need to be told twice. I quickly pulled my blanket till they were at my neck before yelling 'Come in' waiting for another pervert to walk in.

 

  Surprisingly a middle-aged woman walked in holding a tray of food and fruits that immediately caught my attention.

 

  "Hello, Audrey" The woman greeted, a warm smile on her face as she stood on the floor watching me as if waiting for my permission to walk further into the room. Guess saying 'come in' doesn't cut it.

 

  "Hello" I greeted back watching her, waiting for whatever it was that was going to happen. I am in a foreign land with people I didn't even know excited until today, expecting the worst is the best thing to do.

 

  "I brought you food and fruits," she said softly, still rooted where she was but it was obvious she wanted to come closer.

 

  "Uhm thank you. Please drop it over here" I pointed to the little table by my bedside not taking my eyes away from her in case she decides to come at me, you can never tell after all.

 

  She nodded slowly, walking over to the table, dropping the tray. She stood, staring at the food like she was contemplating something before backing away and I immediately made up my mind to throw the food away. They have got something else coming their way if they think they can kill me with poison. The snacks from the plane will have to do for tonight till I can get something to eat.

 

  "Thank you" I nodded with a tight-lipped smile.

 

  "You are welcome. Please eat and take a shower,j will get you fresh clothes to change into" she said in a soft voice. She seemed harmless but I can't let that deceive me.

 

  "I will thank you"

 

  She beamed at me before turning to leave.

 

  "Just stay in your room tonight, I will bring you whatever you want," she said in a sudden eerie tone as she got to the door, increasing my suspicion and discomfort with her.

 

  "Is something wrong?" I couldn't stop myself from asking although we both knew she didn't have any right to answer me and neither did I have any right to ask.

 

  "If I were you little one, I would mind my business around here, it will keep you alive longer than you think" she warned as she opened the door to leave.

 

  There was something off about her, probably it is the drugs but I have a feeling she is just being nice to me because she had to.

 

  Before I could respond, she was already out the door, the door closing quietly behind her.

 

  I have got to find a way out of here, and fast.

 

 

                                      ****

 

  It was pitch black outside, and from all my nights awake binge reading, it should be around 2am, and yet there isn't even an ounce of sleep in my eyes.

 

  This isn't much of a surprise though, I barely sleep at night. Started with staying awake to binge read romance novels or binge watch a new rom com but now it is just normal to me which I would now use to my advantage.

 

  I have to get out of here before anyone wakes up and even realizes I am missing.

 

  With that one thought in mind, I pushed myself up from the bed. I glanced around the room debating my next move and then my eyes landed on the window beside the table.... Of course, why didn't I think of that first?

 

  I walked over to the window taking a peek outside, my stomach dropped. My heart raced as a million thoughts crossed my mind, there is no way I'm making it through this window without breaking every bone in my body. This has to be more than 150 feet tall, how many floors does TVJS's freaking building have? This has to be like the damn last floor or something cause what the fuck.

 

  Why couldn't they just put me on the first floor or second floor even, that would have been better.

 

  I guess the creepy guy is smarter than I thought. so I tried jumping from the window back at my dorm. Of course I would try jumping now. Who am I kidding, he is in the fucking mafia, of course, he is smart.

 

  Windows are out of it then, I would have to find a safer and better way out of here.

 

  Well it seems like I would have to leave my room after all, I am hungry anyway and would need a snack or two for the road. They can't possibly have poisoned the foods in their kitchen too right?
