We've Been Kidnapped

Damon woke up with a startle, his memory was foggy. He didn't know where he was or how he had gotten here? He tried to recollect his senses but a splitting headache made its manifestation instead. He groaned in pain, why does it feel like someone messed with his senses? The worse part was standing up felt tougher than climbing out of a subterranean pit. 

Suddenly, the memories he was missing flashed through his head. The elevator? Red? The taxi? He shook his head as if that would make his blurry memories became clearer. Damon could remember, he was trying to take Nessa home when their taxi got attacked, and next? He woke up here. They were kidnapped? 

But then thinking about it, their kidnapping seems to have been well coordinated. If he could remember clearly, the driver had been the one who stopped first. That means, the driver and the kidnappers had been in cahoots. Damn it! How was Red so dumb enough to pick a taxi like that. And speaking about Red. 

A rugged breathing made him turn and he came face to face to Red sprawled out on the bed. Yes, they were on the bed. Damon couldn't help but wonder what their kidnappers were thinking. Were they even normal? Who abducts someone and keeps them on a bed - a soft comfortable bed for that matter. 

Damon decided to explore the environment and possibly find an escape while sleeping beauty continued to get her beauty sleep. 

Well, he couldn't blame her, she had been drugged as well. The room was a suite with a massive king-size bed, extravagant furniture, and expensive carpet and wall paintings. If it wasn't the fact they had been drugged, Damon could have thought this was a prank or something. 

And of course, he spotted the door. A smile crossed Damon's features, this could be a good opportunity to escape since their captors were nowhere to be seen. And if Nessa becomes a dead weight, he'd just leave her and go call for help - hopefully, she'd still be here when he returns with the "help". 

With lightning speed, Damon reached for the knob, " Christ Jesus!" escaped his mouth as he withdrew his hand at once as soon as he was electrocuted. These people were crazy! No wonder no one was in sight to guard them, because they could not escape. 

Sudden fear enveloped Damon, they were doomed. He ran his hand through his hair, wondering if anyone had noticed he's been kidnapped since it wasn't the first time he had disappeared without reason. 

Moreover, he fought with his mother, she'd probably think he was hiding as usual from her and wouldn't want to be disturbed, not knowing he was in deep waters this time. Wow, you're screwed this time, Damon. Well, Red's mother would notice, wouldn't she? He hopes so.

Damon heard some movements from his side and knew she was awake. Nessa was pale, her hair looked a complete mess; disheveled from all directions as if she fought with some chickens over an egg. However, even with that, she looked sexy as hell… Damn it, Damon, what's wrong with you? 

Nessa stretched and with widened eyes, announced, "We've been - " 

"Kidnapped? I know" Damon interrupted her, unwilling to hear further. 

He felt guilty, she wasn't supposed to be in this mess in the first place if had let her be. Damon wasn't stupid not to figure out that he was the target of the kidnappers, Nessa was just a bonus - buy one, get one free sort of a thing. This was the payback for hanging out with him: another disturbing experience added to the list of nightmares haunting her.  

He understood why she was claustrophobic, her mom told him during the little time they spent together when Nessa fainted in the elevator.

The girl had been kidnapped when she was eight years old, she was kept in a tiny room for weeks without company before she was located.

Ever since then, she would pass out being in a small confined space. Damon knew Nessa had a huge ego, so he decided to play dumb, refusing to reveal the fact he had an idea of the story behind her phobia. If he said anything about that, she would probably think he was feeling pity for her and wouldn't like a bit of it.

"Is there any source of escape?" Nessa asked calmly but he could sense the hint of panic beneath her tone. She was trying to play it tough.

But as usual, Damon pretended to be annoyed by her stupid question.

"Don't you know how to access your brain? Why would our abductors leave us with an escape route? Do you think this is a prank?"

"And why do you always have to be so rude? It's just a question" Nessa shot him a displeased glare but when she saw his apathetic look, she huffed and strode away.

Well, well, at this rate, they would be stuck here for eternity.

 "The window -" 

"Is barred," Damon interjected, "Stop trying too hard. We are not getting out of here unless someone rescued us from the outside," He yawned, leaning back on the bed. 

Nessa was infuriated by his gesture, "Fine, stay there while I figure out how to escape from here. Alone!" She hollered and marched over to the door. 

"Red, no, don't touch the…." 

And she grabbed the doorknob before Damon was able to warn her. 

Nessa got electrocuted. 

"Oops, told ya," Damon shook his head sympathetically. 

"Fuck! Jesus! Damn it! Son of a bleeding mother fucker!" Nessa vomited all manner of profanities reeling from the shock. 

Damon sighed, this was getting really irritating. How could their kidnappers just lock them in a room that looked like some romantic stowaways for couples on valentine's day, without properly introducing themselves and making their demands already?

"You should calm down before you feel miserable and panicky after the adrenaline wears off," He advised Nessa, knowing the reason she was this high at the moment was the adrenaline hormones flowing through her veins. 

However, the stubborn ass of a girl still didn't listen and continued to pace up and down the room almost making him dizzy. Well, Damon simply made himself comfortable on the bed. While their kidnappers were still being hospitable, he had to make full use of the treatment. 

Just as Damon premeditated, Nessa tired herself in no time and the fear crept in - the situation she was in finally dawned on her. 

"Exhausted already?" Damon chuckled, staring at her in amusement and she turned away, her face flushed with embarrassment. 

Damon simply patted the space on the bed, indicating she should join him. They were the only souls in this room, the best they could was to have fun. While they were still alive.
