begun.”
To Lindsey’s surprise, Kyle lifted her from the floor, letting her dangle and kick in front of him. Suddenly he was on the move, promptly making his way past the stairs. He threw open a pale grey door, revealing a cold room, with hard concrete stairs which lead down into darkness. Lindsey screamed in protest, not only having a fear of the dark itself, but could possibly lurk down in the cellar.
“Do you prefer the other room? ” Kyle laughed hysterically as he hauled her up onto his shoulder, as if she barely weighed a thing. He began the quick descent down the stairs.
Lindsey stared into the darkness below, her whole body shuddering with dread. She cried out, pleading with her captor, but he only laughed at her.
“Oh , my dear!” He cried in mock distress. Kyle leaned over, scooping her up into his arms. Lindsey struggled, but her fight was in vain. Kyle was more powerful than any man she had ever met, and he seemed to know exactly where her weakness lay.
He dragged her down to the bottom of the stairs and pushed her hard. She fell to the floor with a loud crash and pain jolted up through her body, pulsing deeply in her head and back.
“Please no!” She screamed out in desperation.
“You must be taught a lesson, my little flower,” Kyle stated simply.
“Please!” Lindsey cried as Kyle backed up towards the light.
“Please,” he mimicked, mocking her. “No!” He boomed angrily. “You will stay here until further notice,” he told her furiously. “This is your punishment for disobeying me!”
Lindsey’s breaths were becoming more ragged and desperate as seconds ticked by. Kyle glared down at her, grinning wickedly as he closed the door behind him. The light was running out.
“Please!” She cried out. “Kyle!”
Kyle paused, letting only a slit of light into the room.
“Yes, my darling?” He asked in a soft coo.
“Don’t leave me down here,” Lindsey beseeched hopefully. “I’ll wear your clothes! Whatever you want!”
Kyle was quiet and Lindsey watched with wet, hopeful eyes, trying to see him through the small slit he had kept open.
A quiet, cruel chuckle hissed out from Kyle’s soft lips, it quietly echoed around the room and Lindsey’s tears spilled down her checked as her hopes were shattered before her.
He slammed the door, taking the light with him.
Lindsey threw her mouth open to scream, but her mind quickly intervened. She stopped at once, taking a deep, slow breath. She stumbled up the stairs, feeling her way around until she reached the door at the top. She found the knob and quickly tried it, only to discover it was already locked.
Lindsey’s fast beating heart sank and she looked back, peering through the thick mist of black. She could see nothing.
In an effort to comfort herself, and forget where she was, her thoughts began to drift. She could remember running through the wide, open fields of lush, green grass, with her long pale purple dress and bunches as a child. This was her old home, where the family lived before they fell on hard times. It was out in the country, out in the sun, where the flowers grew. How Lindsey missed those days, how she missed the fresh air and beautiful scenery, especially the river at the bottom of the garden. These were happy memories.
But those were all memories, things of the past she could bring to mind to comfort her. Now she was trapped in a dark basement, being kept there by a mad man.
Lindsey snapped free from her memories as her mind began to darken and she stared down into the room, her eyes adapting to the darkness. Now she could see outlines. Struck by her own curiosity, Lindsey carefully made her way down the stairs and she got down on her hands and knees, feeling her way over to the thing that was closest.
She rested her hands upon it, surprised when she felt cold, smooth wood. What could it be? Lindsey
