Back To the Beginning
Trapped
Before I finish saying my whole sentence... My head suddenly felt very dizzy.
Like this world is shaking so fiercely.
Just like the vibration at the time.
I am not strong enough to keep my consciousness... I dropped myself on the couch.
My gaze was slowly black.
Am I going to die?
...
...
"Mama!"
"Don't come any closer! Go, find a safe place."
"But I don't want to leave Mama..."
"Go! Please, stay alive."
...
...
My consciousness suddenly returned, and my vision was normal again.
Am I still alive?
I opened my eyes slowly.
The light is beginning to be seen.
I've come to my senses.
I want to move my hand, but I can't. I looked at my hand, looking for the cause.
It turned out that my hand was tied by the rope very hard and the winding of the rope looked very complicated.
I've realized.
From my cheek and right arm, I can feel the cold.
I was lying on the floor.
This floor is different from the floor in the factory. Where'sisthis?
I panicked, and I felt like I wanted to cry.
"Evelyn, are you conscious?" ask someone from behind me.
This sound...
"Anything?!"
"Yes... Right."." Right."
I held back my crying that was almost coming out.
I tried to get up from this lying position.
It's a little hard to wake up... I looked at my feet. My feet are tied too.
I kept trying to get up, and it finally worked.
I turned around looking for Arthur.
I found it behind me.
The conditions are the same as mine. His hands were tied back and his feet were tied very tightly.
"Arthur, what's going on?!" I asked in panic.
"As you can see, we're being held captive. But take it easy, we'll be fine" Arthur said.
He said that with a calm and slightly irritated face.
I look around.
This place looks like a small warehouse. Many items are stored here, ranging from paper, wood, even glass.
I looked towards the air ducts, ascertaining the conditions outside.
No light, it's dark.
"As you might expect, it's already night."
Can he read minds?
Even though Arthur told me to stay calm, I couldn't. I was so panicked.
A very sudden event.
I returned my gaze to Arthur who was still silent.
"What's going to happen to us?"
"Mr.Meinhard and Ms. Ariadna must have acted. They must be looking for us."
"Are they going to save us?"
"Sure, Sure."
Why are we being held captive? that question doesn't need to be asked, because I already know it.
The man who took us, wants a ransom.
"Evelyn, sorry. All this happened because of my negligence. I didn't expect something like this to happen."
"No Arthur, it's my fault, too."
I approached Arthur who was near the wall. I sat down next to him and leaned against the cold, hard wall.
......................
Time passed by, the day was getting darker, obscurity haunted my mind. Panic increases.
"Evelyn, relax. Trust me... We'll be safe" said Arthur beside me.
His face still looks upset. It seems like he was upset because of this event that involved me.
Seeing Arthur swimming, I tried to calm myself by pulling and breathing.
As I tried to calm down, suddenly there was the sound of footsteps leading into this room.
My upayak to calm down shattered. I panicked back.
Arthur looked straight at the door. Why is he so calm?
A few moments later, the doorknob moved and the door opened. Someone appeared and stepped into the room.
"I thought you were." said Arthur in an annoyed tone.
The person in front of us seems like I've seen him.
"Thank God you're awake" said the man.
"Please let us go" I said.
"No Evelyn, she's not our savior. He's the mastermind behind this... The head worker."
"Really! Thatme! You're so smart, Arthur. I'm very happy today, because it got a very good prey... The Genius and the Up-and-coming Artist. I'll definitely get a lot of money!"
Hearing her words, I was so frightened, my body trembled a little.
"Mr.Meinhard will definitely save us" said Arthur.
"Mr.Meinhard? Haha! He was so panicked and confused there! There's no way he'll find you. After all, you're currently outside of Monte Rosa."
Out of town? We're out of town?!
The light of my hope suddenly disappeared. The light that made me stare was suddenly invisible. It's the same as back then.
My tears suddenly came out without me noticing. I cried with fear.
"Haha! cry then! No one will hear you."
"Out of town? then you don't work alone.you're conspiring."
"Thank you for your compliment... But unfortunately, we'll still be safe from here."
"Haha! please dream!"
After saying that, That person directly walked out of the room and slammed the door very hard.
Laughing sounds of people emerged from outside the room. They might be partying.
"At least give us food or anything else cake" whispered Arthur vaguely.
Arthur changed his gaze towards me.
"Let's just calm, he's just bluffing."
"But Arthur, we've been so hard to find. There's no hope anymore" I said, crying in fear.
"There's no hope? Who said that? ... Even if there's no hope, then I'll make that hope myself."
After saying that, Arthur moved his bound hand behind his body. Looks like I'm grabbing something.
"Can!" arthur said happily.
I stopped crying and saw what Arthur was doing.
Behind his coat was a small pocket. I've never seen a coat with a pocket in the back.
It seems like it was prepared from the beginning.
Arthur grabbed something from that pocket. And appeared a short steel and tips.
"Thankfully they were all fools" said Arthur, holding the short steel with both fingers.
Arthur crawled up behind me and behind me.
He rubbed the short, thin steel into a rope tied very intricately with as many fingers as he could.
Soon I felt the rope break, and I tried to move my hand.
Slowly the rope bond slowly stretched and came apart.
I felt freedom in my hands.
"Now do the same thing to your straps, and then me" Arthur said, handing over the steel.
I followed him and rubbed the steel on my leg. After that to Arthur.
We are now free from the rope that binds us.
"Arthur, we're free!"
"We're still not free if we don't get out of this room" Arthur said, massaging his wrist.
"You're right Arthur, we're still not free."
Arthur walked up to the door and grabbed the handle.
"It looks like it's locked" Arthur said after trying to open the door.
"What are we gonna do?"
"I don't actually want to use this way... But with the current conditions, that way is the best way" Arthur murmured.
The laughing sounds of the people outside were still heard.
Arthur walked towards one of the cabinets that contained a lot of very messy stuff.
He took an object... Jars made of glass.
"Evelyn hide, I'll catch up" he said, walking with a glass jar in his hand.
I obeyed him, I hid in a pile of papers far to the right of the door.
Arthur stood far away from the door, he lifted the urn and threw it very hard.
Prangs!
The sound of glass and the sound of smashing on the door sounded very loud, beating the laughing voice of the people out there.
After that happened, Arthur immediately ran towards my hideout.
"What's that sound?" the sound of someone from outside the room.
"Those boys! they must be trying to escape. Let me take care of them" said the person who met us earlier.
'good! fishing brand!" said Arthur beside me.
He grabbed something in his other pocket. How many pockets does he have?
Something pops up, a... rectangular beam?
"What is that thing?" my many.
"Look at it later" said Arthur impatiently.
The person we had just seen, went back inside the room in a deep panic.
"Damn it! Where is the boy" said the man as he walked through the room looking for us.
Arthur beside me started to walk stealthily toward the back of the man.
I was so scared.
Slowly Arthur got closer to the man.
"Good night, sir" said Arthur walking over from the right side of the door.
The man who was about to go to tell his friends stopped and saw Arthur beside him.
"You! Stay there!" he said as he ran towards Arthur.
"You made the wrong decision" Arthur said, pointing to a strange object in his right hand.
"Shut your mouth, boy!"
The man grabs Arthur's left arm, but the upper hip of the man comes into contact with a strange object that Arthur has.
Arthur hit the upper hip of the man like he was stabbing him.
"Absolutely!!" scream the pain of that man.
His grip slipped and his body fell slammed onto the floor still screaming in pain.
"Just calm down you won't die" said Arthur standing beside him.
I came out of my hiding place and approached Arthur.
"Arthurian... What's that tent?" many fear.
"The thing that has saved thousands of people from many evils. Stun Guns."
"Stun's gun?"
"Wait a minute, my work's not done yet."
Arthur walked to the side, approaching the closet full of stuff.
He dropped everything, so the sound was very loud.
"What's going on?!"
"Damn! we have to see it!"
The sound of a lot of people fighting from outside the room.
"Arthur, they're here."
"As expected. Evelyn, you stay here a while..."
Arthur walked slowly out through the door.
A brighter light hit his front body.
He walked very confidently.
Like a hero.
"... I'll teach them a valuable lesson they'll never forget."
The light of hope reappears.
