Ice cold water shocked me awake, and I couldn’t help but suck in a surprised gasp. This was not how I’d started sleeping in my bed last night. I decided to keep my eyes closed and tried to steady my breathing while I assessed the situation.

I was freezing but not shivering, yet. I was hanging by my hands that were tied above my head, knees bent, and my toes touched the ground. The floor was solid and hard. The air smelled slightly musty. Where am I? As if the water wasn’t cold enough, the fear that I was tied up and the last thing I remembered was falling asleep chilled me to the bone. Where was I? If I pretended to be asleep, maybe it could give me some time to compose myself and maybe figure out what was-

“We have one who thinks she’s clever, boys,” said a loud, feminine voice. “I know you’re awake. You’re trying to keep your breathing steady, but your racing heart betrays you.”

I was shivering, and it wasn’t just because I was cold and wet. This is not where I went to bed last night. Why was I kidnapped? Who were these people? And most importantly, what is going on? With all of my being, I tried to steel my nerves and pretend I wasn’t scared out of my wits so I could think through the fear and hopefully get some answers.

I opened my eyes and squinted from the brightness of the room. “Then you can start by telling me your name and why I’m here.” My throat felt dry and stiff. How long have I been out?

It was a very clean, sterile-looking room. The floor was white tile all the way up to the ceiling. A few drains were in the floor, like it was a huge shower. My entire house could have fit inside this place. Otherwise empty, there was a woman, two men, and a huge rectangular, stainless-steel bench. I wondered if a set of surgical tools and a few torture devices were nearby. The idea wrenched my insides and I fought to keep my nerves from spewing out.

The beautiful blonde woman had a long, slender neck, a perfect, curvy body, and huge breasts. She was a dead ringer for my old-fashioned Barbie doll. I’d called that Barbie Pearl.

“You’re in no position to demand anything.” She swayed in her black stiletto heels.

I stood to give my wrists a rest, and my arms instantly felt relief. “What do you want?”

“I have a few questions.” She played with something in her hands as she stepped toward me. “Things I want to ask you.”

Finally, I saw the nine-inch flaying knife she played with in those slender hands of hers. Why didn’t I see it before?

Pearl stopped playing with the knife but kept walking toward me. “Do you see this knife in my hand?” She stopped an arm’s distance away from me. From either fear or confusion, I didn’t respond. “Do you know what I’m going to do with this?”

The cold water was starting to evaporate.
