BOOK TWO

MENDACIOUS TENTIONS

CHAPTER ONE

The plate of food made surprisingly little noise as it was slid underneath the bottom gap of the door.

The loud banging that followed was a shocking contrast that seemed to have an echoing quality to it. Samantha Cook squinted in the darkness as she squatted on the balls of her feet, while watching the shadows of the person depart. She had one continuous thought that infected her brain like a fever. A thought that chipped at her gut with each passing moment. One of escape.

She stared at the plate for minutes before wrinkling her nose up in disgust, even as she fought to control and dismiss the pinging’s and grumbling as her stomach disagreed with her decision, screaming for substance. With great effort, she tried to strengthen her resolve. But sadly, she was losing the battle as it felt as if it was cannibalizing itself for survival.

She had very good reason for fear. Ever since her uncle Andrew had ordered her to be brought here, she steadily refused to eat or drink anything that was given to her, for fear that it would be laced with hallucinogenic drugs perfected by intelligence agencies and given to captured operatives for the purpose of creating swirling delusions and nightmares to loosen their tongues for interrogators.

But here, there were bigger worries. Instead of drugs, it could very well be just a drop of tainted blood from any creature of the dark with designs to bend her will so they could start the process of trying to turn her, as her uncle had freely offered her. So, she refused to touch any food until someone eventually came and took the plates away.

They had to open the door to give her water and empty the bucket she had to use as a toilet. They also found the water untouched and removed it daily. They had not bothered to bring her any today. Through it all, she watched and waited for the slightest slip up by her jailers.

None were made. Yet.

Only her uncle knew just how resourceful she could be. No, not my uncle anymore, she thought with a shiver. Andrew had become something more twisted and sinister than she had ever thought possible. What had happened to the left side of his face attested to the abomination that had coursed through his veins ripping the humanity from his body?

She was cold from the thoughts, despite the two thick blankets she had wrapped around her. She had been in a state of nakedness ever since she had awoken hanging from the house rafters in steel chains. But that didn’t bother her half as much as being trapped in what amounted to a glorified storage cellar. The experience brought about a feeling of claustrophobia.

Small, empty, and dark with a thick steel plated door that was barred and locked from the outside. She could tell that the room had been used for something like this before. Anger was suddenly there, boiling within her with each thought.
