Her eyes suddenly snapped open. Her heart began pounding violently. She looked down and realized her wrists were tightly bound together with thick rope. Her ankles were tied to the legs of the chair beneath her. Panic surged through her. “No…” Scarlet struggled violently against the ropes. They only tightened against her skin.
