As I woke up, my eyes tried adjusting to the darkness around me. I couldn't see anything but I could tell that I was the only one in this room. I tried to move my arms but I couldn't. My heart started racing as I tried unsuccessfully to move my arms but all tried failed. I leaned back against the wall and cried.  My legs were free so I moved them around and tried to see if there was anything in the room that could help... but unfortunately there was nothing. My stomach growled and my throat was dry. I started coughing and hoped that someone would come in here and save me.  The next thing I know, the door opened and I saw light before it closed again. The person who came in, turned the light on and I quickly tried to adjust to it. I finally saw an older woman, maybe in her fifty's, pushing a tray full of food and water over towards me.  "Please. You have to help me. I don't know where I'm at, but you have to get me out of here." I tried to plead with her but she didn't say anything. All she did was try to feed me the food but I kept moving my head every time.  "Come on child. You have to eat. If they come down here and see that you haven't ate, they will punish us both." I sighed. Letting her feed me, I wasn't surprised at how hungry I was nor thirsty and I'm sure I looked like a fish out of water.  "Where am I?" She got up and put the empty plate on the tray and grabbed a glass of water. Putting it to my lips, I gulped it down and then she pulled away.  "Just some advice kid, don't ask questions. Do what your told and maybe you'll live longer." And with that, she left and I was alone again. But she didn't then off the light and I could finally take in my surroundings. I looked around and noticed that there weren't any windows in here.  Trying to figure out how to get myself out of this, I couldn't think of any options.  "Come on Alyssa. Be strong. You are strong." I told myself quietly and I closed my eyes and leaned my head back.  Taking deep breaths, I calmed my racing heart and opened my eyes. The door opened again, and this time a man came in wearing all black. Then two other men followed behind him. They all walked over to me and look out keys and unlocked the chains from my wrists. I immediately lashed out at them, punching them and scratching them up before one of them punched me in the face and I fell to the side. I didn't try anything after that and they could tell that I wasn't going too either.  The first one that came in, grabbed me and threw my over his shoulder. If I had a dollar for every time I've gotten thrown over someone's shoulder, I'm sure I'd be rich. We walked out of the room and into a hallway. My eyes started to adjust to the light and I could see that they were about to walk up some stairs. I was afraid that he would drop me, but he held me tight as he walked calmly up the stairs and then we kept walking until we got to a door.  One of them knocked and it was quiet for a while.  "Enter." A deep voice says and one of them opens the door. We all walk in and then the door is shut. Before I know it, I'm being thrown on the ground and the men leave, shutting the door again. I put my hand to my head as I can feel the pain starting to occur. Trying to stand up, my legs feel wobbly but I manage to grab onto a chair before I fall and I turn my head.  There, sat Austin Dechart with a smirk on his face and I could feel my blood run cold.  "Hello principessa. Long time no see."
