Bahamas, October 2018

Her head was pounding heavily. It started while she was still passed out and sneaked into her dream. But as the pounding grew worse, Coraline finally opened her eyes with a loud gasp. As she did, she looked into a set of familiar eyes.

Feeling confused, Coraline looked around and sat up on the couch.

"W-here…am I…w-wh…what happened?"

The person bent over her and removed a lock of hair from her face. Coraline didn't like it and pulled away. Maybe it was the way this person was staring at her; maybe it was the place or the dream; she didn't know what it was. But something made the hairs on the back of her neck rise.

"I should get…going."

Coraline rose to her feet and stood for a few seconds while trying to maintain her balance. She tried to remember what had happened but couldn't recall anything after she had gotten dressed at the club and looked at herself in the mirror. She wondered if she had gotten drunk, but to her surprise, she didn't even remember a second of the date. Had she gotten anything to eat? She was starving, and her mouth was so very dry. Had they gone to a restaurant? She couldn't recall. Not even a little piece of it.

"How did I get here?" she said and looked around in the windowless room. "What time is it?"

The person sitting on the couch sent her a smile that gave her the chills. Coraline ignored it, then walked forward before she stopped and looked around.

"How do you get out of here?"

"You don't," the person answered.

"Excuse me?" Coraline said.

"You don't."

"B-but…I have to…go."

"No, you don't," sounded the answer, eerily calm.

"But…I…"

The person rose and approached Coraline with fast steps. The look in those deeply angry eyes made her wince and back up.

"W-what do you want from me? W-why am I here?"

"Because I want you to be," the person said.

"I…I want to go home," Coraline said. "Please."

She backed up further till she felt the stony wall behind her. The person came closer and closer, then lifted a hand up, almost threateningly, and Coraline winced again, her eyes locking with theirs.

To her surprise, the hand touched her cheek gently, then caressed it, and her shoulders came down once again. Maybe this person didn't want to harm her after all? Despite the look in those deep-set eyes. Despite the fact that this was a room with no windows or doors. Despite the fact that she felt much like a prisoner.

Coraline exhaled, relieved, just in time for the fist to slam into her cheek so hard she knocked her head against the stony wall before sliding to the ground. The next punches that followed felt like a rain of pain, and soon she didn't feel anything anymore.
