Trapped

Mia’s POV

When my consciousness returned, I found myself lying on the bed. I tried moving but my body felt heavy and my head throbbed with pain. The pain in my head made my vision blur and I winced, closing my eyes as I tried to recall how I ended up here.

“You’re finally awake”

A voice boomed beside me and I flinched as I turned towards the direction of the voice.

“Lucas”

I whispered staring at the man who sat leisurely on the chair beside my bed, his brown eyes fixed on me as if watching my every move and that was when it all clicked. How I ended up here. I was kidnapped.

“How are you feeling?”

He asked taking a sip from the glass of wine in his hand and I turned away from him. How could he think i would be okay after being kidnapped by him.

I glared at Lucas, my mind racing with anger and fear.

“How am I feeling?”

I repeated, my voice shaking with anger.

“You broke into my room, kidnapped me and now you’re asking how I’m feeling?”

I yelled.

Lucas expression remained calm, almost as if he didn’t hear any of what I said.

“What do you want from me?”

I demanded, trying to keep my voice steady.

Lucas leaned forward, his face a few inches from mine “oh Mia, I want so many things from you”

He whispered, his breath hot against my skin and I felt a chill run down my spine.

“what… what do you mean?”

I asked, shifting uncomfortably on the bed and he smiled.

“You’ll find out soon enough”

He said, leaning back in his chair.

“For now, let’s just say you’re going to be staying here with me for a while”

“You can’t keep me here”

I protested and he let out a dry laugh

“Oh but I very much can, my lady”

He replied and I felt a surge of panic run through me.

“Logan will look for me, and he’ll find me”

Lucas raised an eyebrow as the smile on his lips grew wider and he leaned forward again

“I’m counting on it”

he muttered, his voice low and menacing.

“Logan will indeed look for you, and I’ll be ready”

I felt a shiver run down my spine at Lucas’s words and I gulped fearfully. I knew I had to think fast and come up with a plan to escape but for now, I was trapped.

“I’ll leave you to rest now”

He announced and with a sly smile on his lips, started walking towards the door.

As he reached the door, he turned back to me and said “Don’t try to escape Mia. The consequences wouldn’t be pleasant”

And with that, he walked out of the room.

As the door closed behind Lucas, I let out a sigh of relief and bagan my escape plan. I looked around the room, trying to take in every detail.

The walls were painted a light gray and the only furniture in the room was the chair Lucas had been sitting on. There was a large window on one side of the room, but it was barred and I knew escape through there would be impossible.

I threw off the covers and hurriedly swung my legs over the side of the bed and i shivered once my bare feet touched the cold floors.

As I stood up, my legs wobbled beneath me and I gritted my teeth, grabbing onto the bedpost to steady myself. My head was still throbbing but I pushed through it and took a step forward, my eyes fixed on the door that was slightly ajar.

Pushing the door open, I saw a small bathroom and my eyes immediately scanned the room. There was a small window above the sink but it was also barred and I sighed in frustration, escape seemed impossible.

Sighing in defeat, I made my way back to the main room and collapsed on the bed. My mind raced back to Logan and I felt a pang of sadness and longing wash through me.

Would I ever see him again? would I ever be able to escape this place and return to my life?

Taking a deep breath, my eyes scanned the room once more and that was when I noticed a small air vent in the wall, partially hidden by the bed. It was small but it might be just big enough for me to squeeze through.

Getting down from the bed, I pushed on the vent cover, trying to open it but it didn’t budge. I took another deep breath and using all my strength to pry it open, it finally swung open, revealing a narrow path and I sighed in relief.

I peeped into the tube, my eyes adjusting to the darkness and I saw that it was a long, dark tunnel. It was tight but I was sure I could fit in. I slowly started squeezing myself into the tube, my heart racing with fear with every inch I pushed forward. The metal was cool against my skin, making me shiver and I could feel the dirt in the tube scratching against my skin.

As I crawled deeper into the tube, the walls seemed to be closing in on me and I stopped on my tracks, trying to calm my racing heart. I focused on my breathing and slowly began to move forward again. I had no idea where I was going or where the tube would lead me but I knew I couldn’t turn back now. I had to keep moving forward, no matter what.

As I continued crawling through the tube, I heard the sound of footsteps below me and I froze. Lucas? Was he coming back?

I felt a shiver run down my spine as the footsteps grew louder. But then they passed beneath me and I let out a sigh of relief.

I continued to crawl, my hands and knees aching as I pushed through the narrow space.

Suddenly, I saw a glimmer of light ahead and I pushed forward, my heart racing with excitement. Reaching the vent cover, I pushed on it and to my relief, it swung open.

I climbed out of the tube and found myself in a passageway but my freedom was short lived as I looked around and realized I wasn’t alone. I heard footsteps coming from the end of the passageway and my heart sank.

Who was it? Lucas? Or someone else?

I looked around the hallway, searching for a place to hide or a way to escape but there was nowhere to go. I was trapped.
