Kidnapped

"Trapped and chained in a dark room"

"A room so small and empty"

"I wish to be blind"

"If its his body lying infront of me"

Julia slowly opened her eyes,her vision not clear. The light in the room was dim making it hard for one to see anything. To make her vision clear she was about to rub her eyes and that's when she realized that her hands were tied behind her back with ropes to something which felt like a pillar. Julia's eyes shifted to her feet which were chained. Her brain experienced thousand's of errors in a minute and many questions were popping in her mind

"Where is she?'

"What is she doing here?"

"How did she get here?"

"Why is she tied up?"

And many other questions one after another were asked by Julia but there was noone there to answer those questions of her. She looked around the room. Nothing specific could be seen by her eyes except for the lightbulb which provided the room some light. Suddenly heavy footsteps were sensed by Julia's ears. Her eyes fixed on the darkness infront of her. The door of the room opened revealing a tall shadowy figure. She didn't know who it was until he came closer and bent down. A man with black hair in a black suit was infront of her. In the dark room his sparkling blue eyes also became a source of light for her. There was an evil smirk on his face but that smirk didn't make Julia scared because she knew exactly who he was. Not a relative of hers but someone who meant great danger to her.

"Ah Walter how bold of you to bring me here. I will have to praise your courage. I guess you didn't lie when you said

"Iam not afraid of death"Julia spoke. If her hands and feet would have been free then she would have not wasted a second to pounce on the man like a fiesty cat tearing him to peices but all her power had been taken away from her.

"Thank you for your great statement Julia Clark" The man stood up and did a little bow as if he was a celebrity on the big stage thanking his audience for there support.

Julia couldn't understand his strange action and could only wonder what virus got into his brain?

"What do you want Walter?" she asked him when in an instance he took out a sharp knife and placed it on Julia's throat making her gasp.

"Isn't this enough to explain my plans?"The man pushed the knife harder than before. Knowing that death was this close to her Julia was panicking inside but she also knew that in a situation like this she should not make her worry visible to the man who held her hostage

"You know that my father would kill you in a much more torturous way then how you are planning to kill me" She raised her thin brown brows

"I very well know that and that's why" he took the knife away from her throat

"My plan is not to kill you but" he placed the knife in his pocket

"Your father is my real target" the man said with a grin

"My father? and how are you going to kill him?" Julia asked her question but today Walter had an answer to very question of hers

"You" he pointed to Julia

"Will call your father and i will tell him the amount of ransom i need" He said which made Julia ask

"You want money?"

"Money is something which many people want. Some would do illegal stuff like killing and some would lose their lives in an attempt to get it but money is not on my wishlist" Walter said and from it Julia only understood that he didn't want money. The girl hated him and for his talks she didn't have patience left in her and broke out

"You don't want my father's money!. You don't want to kill me then tell me what in the world do you want!?"

Her shouts could be heard by Walter's men who were upstairs doing their duties.

"The answer is simple. I want to end your father's existance from this world" he said calmly but his statement didn't make Julia calm it made her mad with anger.

"Fine i get it that your stupid plan which will surely fail is to kill my father but Mr Walter if you don't mind using your mouth will you please be nice to tell me how you plan to do that?" Julia asked trying to get the strans of her hair off from her face. She moved her neck trying to make them stay off from her face so that she can look into the man's lightening blue eyes with her rageful orbs.

"Well i was about to tell you when you interrupted but don't worry. I will start it again just for you" the man spoke

"So as i was saying you will call your father,shed a few tears if i ask you to and then i will tell him the amount of ransom i need"

"And then what?"Julia wanted more details about his useless plans. Plans which she was sure about that they would never work and never for him.

"Ugh you really are an idiot"My next move will be to kill him" Walter stated to which Julia bursted out laughing making Walter concerned for a second.

"Why are you laughing?.Do you think iam joking?"

"Oh...Oh my its funny how you think that my father will be stupid enough to fall in your mousetrap. He will secretly have his men keep an eye on the situation and if you try to even touch a hair of his then death would greet you taking you to meet him who rules hell" Julia told him with a grin on her face as she glared at him feeling more stronger than him. Someone said the truth that a daughter's most powerful weapon is her father.

"But isn't that your father. If not then he is what I would call close to the devil?"Walter said raising his eyebrow making Julia's smile fade away

"Just shut up and don't even think that iam going to call him" Julia said and turned her face away from him.

"Alright then i will call my men and ask them to go get your boyfriend" Julia's eyes widened when she heard this.

"What boyfriend are you talkng about?"she asked him pretending to be clueless about the matter but clever Walter was not the one to try her acting skills on.

"Uhm what was his name?"he walked around the room circling her who he held captive. He then faced Julia and said in full confidence

"Leo...Leo smith right?"He said the name which meant the world to Julia.

"Who even is that?"Julia acted as if he had no relation with him.

"Then you wouldn't care if i kill him Would you?" Walter took out his gun from his pocket

"What else does he have in his pocket?"Julia wondered

"No,why would i care?. Kill whoever you want as long as it's not my father"

"Ok then" he started going away from her and was about to go upstairs which Julia didn't expect. Walter had spys to keep him informed of every action of his enemy and if he knew who Leo was then Julia couldn't take any risks or Leo could be harmed so she had to open up.

"Wait don't!" She shouted and Walter stopped in his path.

"So you do have a relation with him?" Walter asked to which Julia nodded her head as a "Yes"

"I can see its hard for you. However I'll be nice and give you two options" Julia looked at him making eye contact. Staring intensely into his eyes.

"You call your father and i will kill him while your lover will live and if you don't then i will end your lover and the best part is that you don't die" Walter made it seem as if it was a simple situation. It wasn't a do or die but instead it was a pick and sacrifice.

"How are those even options?"Julia asked him in disbelief

"Its ok if you are having a hard time to pick. You can take your time and i wouldn't mind" He bent down and patted her cheek and left from the room. Julia was confused,scared and worried. Different feelings running through her body. There was no way she could pick between her father and lover. So what if her father didn't want her to he with Leo?. She couldn't let that Walter kill him. On the other hand if she didn't call her father than she will have to lose Leo. This thought didn't leave her mind for a long time. After some time Walter made his return

"So Julia did you make your choice?" He asked her. His eyes fixed nothing else but the his enemy's stepdaughter.

"I have" Julia responded

"Very well now tell me who to kill and who to spare?" Walter was waiting for an answer from her. An answer which would decide the fate of an old man or of a young man.

"Iam not going to pick any of them so kill me!" she said in anger.

Walter didn't say a word to this statement of Julia but remained silent. Julia on the other hand thought that her life would be finished by him in a while.

"Fine! right now its 3am and i will give you time till 5am to decide who you want to see die and if your choice isn't your father then your boyfriend will die infront of your eyes. Tell me would you be happy to live longer than him with the guilt of his death in your heart?"Walter questioned her. His voice seemed threatning and his anger was visible to Julia.

"Why did he want her to pick between her stepfather and love when he could kill her?"

"Walter slammed the door leaving Julia alone once again. She had a total of two hours to make her choice.The choice which would only give her a loss but wait

"Does her father know her about not being in the mansion?"

She didn't remember how or when was she taken from there and how in the world did they not get caught?

Where her father's men would not even let a small rat take a step in the mansiom then how did his tall men come inside the mansion and even managed to unlock the door which she had locked?

But this was not the time to solve that mystery. It was the time to think about a way to escape from here,which there was none. There was a window in the room but due to the stength of her hands and feet being taken away she could not move an inch from her place. She cursed at Walter and the mess he had dragged her into. The mess from which only she would suffer. She thought that getting a slap from her father was painful when the real pain would began in two hours and she would have to experience it for the first and last time.
