Survival Mode

Chapter 3: Trapped

"Honestly I've had enough of this I think it's time for you to go."

"What are you talking about, please we can make this work!"

The words fell on deaf ears, he looked at me, then took my bags and threw them out the door without a single care in the world.

"Babe, please!" He started getting angry. "OUT! DON'T MAKE ME SAY IT AGAIN!"

Present time.....

I told her she wouldn't be able to hide from me. Did she listen? No.

"When she wakes up I want you to bring her some food. She's not allowed to die yet." The maid nodded rather quickly then hurried away. I opened the door slightly just to get a look at her and I must admit she was beautiful, she looked to be about 5'5 she had curly hair and she was definitely cute.

I closed the door slowly not to wake her then greeted my son. Who had crawled over to me, he was soon to be 1. He started crying and it was feeding time. "Get him some food! What do you get paid for?" With that I walked away to work in my office.

Meanwhile....

"Mama! Mama!! Help !" "It's ok baby, I'm here, I'm right here. Whatever you do, just don't look behind you." I looked at her confused, then stupidity looked behind me. It was a man covered in blood, blaming me for killing him. "Dad?" I broke down in tears, I couldn't take it anymore. "No, I didn't kill you, I'm not a murderer."

"I didn't kill you, you came home drunk and got killed in the fire. IT WAS'NT ME! I SWEAR!" He kept chanting that I indeed had killed him and let him burn. Before I knew it, I woke up breathing heavily and cried uncontrollably.

I pulled my knees closer to me and tried to stop my crying, I didn't kill him, no it wasn't me, I wouldn't do that. Soon, realizing I was in another room, once again, I got frustrated. I examined the room and noticed it was nicer then my last and more expensive, no doubt. Why do I keep waking up in random beds?

The door soon opened and a woman that looked to be a maid came in with a plate of food and handed it to me, without saying a word, she leaves. I looked at the food and it looked delicious, my stomach started to growl. I slowly and carefully took small bites, until the plate was empty, I left the plate next to me by the nightstand and waited for the woman to come back and take it.

The woman comes back and soon does take the plate and says nothing, trying to break the silence, I said something to her, "Excuse me? Where am I?" She looks at me like she's seen a ghost and scurried away. I don't get it, what the actual hell was that. Is there something on my face? I said touching my face. I wonder why she ran away like that. My thoughts soon got interrupted when I heard someone clear there throat, not knowing there was anyone else in here, I turned my head to the direction that the noise came from.

"Miss me darling?" Was all he said.

"Hell no, I don't even know you." I said rolling my eyes.

He snickered, "Aww, darling, don't be such a b***h. I just fed you food the least you could do was say thank you." He chuckled.

I rolled my eyes at his comment "f**k you." I spat.

"Wow, someone lost her some manners. Hasn't your mother, sorry, dead mother taught you any manners, you know, before she died?" My eyes grew big, is he serious, now that I think about it there was nothing right about any of this. None of it seemed like a coincidence their both gone.

"Wait, did you purposely-." I got cut off.

"Kill your family?" He put his hand on his chest. Fake pretending to be hurt. "Ouch, that hurts, if you really think my men and I have time to go and kill people who we aren't looking for. Then you must of hit your head rather too harshly. No. But I will tell you someone is out to get you and their purpose is to make your life as miserable as possible." As he said it matter a factly.

"Now, I don't know who this person is nor do I care but what it sounds like to me, is your in for a surprise, I could be wrong, this is all just a huge guess and if I am, well let's just laugh about it." I put my face in my palms, I was still confused as to why I was here though and why he kidnapped me.

"Something still doesn't make sense though, why did you kidnap me and what did you do to Brayden?" He gave me a short answer and I didn't ask any questions after that. "Don't worry about it he's fine." This guy is weird as hell. He didn't even bother to answer my other question. Before I knew it, I felt something touch my neck and I passed out again.

Soon, waking up awhile later, I was now chained and tied up. Are you f*****g serious! Now I was getting aggravated. I saw him sitting in the corner of the room in an elegant chair, looking at me with a smirk on his face. "This is gonna be so much fun."

WARNING: ABUUUUSEEE

He said evilly and I had no idea what he meant, that was until he had a remote in his hand and he pushed a button. Soon enough, I had gotten electrocuted, as I was also being brought down to the sharks tank. Damn Ouch! "Now, I'm going to ask you a few questions. I already know the answers to them, but if you answer wrong, you will be fresh toast. If you answer them correctly you will live...for now."

He was clearly bluffing, he soon started, "What's your name beautiful?" I gave him no response then said, " If you already know the information then why ask?" He didn't respond, soon I felt myself get electrocuted and it hurt. I was getting scared now, I had gone down another level as the sharks, shaking and shivering I couldn't control myself. "My- my name's Maxine Devyn Torress."

"Good, good, now how old are you ?"

I didn't hesitate to answer him. "I'm 24 soon to be 25." He was satisfied with my answers, that was a good sign.

"Do you have any siblings?" I shook my head no.

"What did you do to Brayden?"

Who do you think you are, that you can ask such questions, baby girl, I'm the boss, I'm in charge and I run this motherfucker, get it through your thick skull, you don't ask s**t, ok? I do. I'm not one of your friends and we sure as hell never gonna be friends, I don't like you I f*****g DESPISE YOU."

What's his problem? I would be lying if I said that didn't hurt, I don't even know him and he hates me? Nevertheless, saying hurtful things to me.

"I just wanna know what you did with Bray." I said starting to sniffle a little bit.

"I just wanna know what you did with Brayden." He said copying me, he was then considering my choice of words, "Are you two delinquents together or you like his side piece or something?"

"What, no were not together. I am also neither of those, Thank you very much." He looked at me confused, then rolled his eyes, "Are you sure? You seem to be asking about him alot, as if he even cares about you, I doubt he does baby girl, why not ditch him and come over to me." He said with his eyes not leaving mine.

Ok he must be bipolar or something. Soon, I was on the same level as the sharks and they were very close to me, they were jumping over me and I was struggling to get out of being tied up. "Oh my God I'm gonna die!!" I screamed as I started struggling more and the sharks were getting hungrier. My struggling soon stopped when I heard him tell someone to come out and I couldn't believe who it was right in front of my eyes. The man of course was laughing and enjoying himself, which also pissed me.

**********

"Maybe we can work on trying to stop that leg from shaking so much Devyn, you did good today." My therapist laughed lightly. "Well it looks like time has flied by and we are all out of time." I thanked her for the session, then made my way downstairs, I said bye to the receptonist and went to my car.

I got in starting my car as I played music on my Bluetooth. I made my way home when before I knew it, I got into a car crash. I was soon in what felt like a coma but I heard nurses and people talking? Maybe I'm at a hospital? How did I even end up here? Last thing I remember, I was driving home.

"I hope my baby's ok." Was the last thing that I heard....
