Meters away- Part 1

"He's waking up," said Belle when she caught sight of the man trying to move his fingers and his head slowly pushing into the surface of the pillow.

Councilman Joshua opened his eyes, feeling his head heavy and pain at the side of his head. He looked up at the ceiling of the bed, nice looking wood and the drapes of curtain that looked as if he were in heaven because this was not his room. Was he perhaps dreaming? But why was his head hurting? He raised his hand towards his head, rubbing his temples, life in dreams felt so peaceful, thought the man to himself. 

He then tried to get up, but something held him back. He noticed the ropes that were tied around his legs. He then came to realise what just happened. His eyes flew wide open when he looked at Miss Adams and the butler who he was scared of. He tried to hurry away.

"Relax, Joshua. We are not going to hurt you," informed the butler.
