I was so cold.
The numerous cracks in the old building were letting the chill in, I could image this old building was also hidden away and surrounded by trees that kept the sun from warming the building.
I had been getting up and down and moving around as far as I could on the chain, to try to keep my body warm and moving but each time it was getting harder, and the blood on the back of my head I knew was still wet.
I had finally realised I had no choice and had used the bucket to relieve myself, grateful at least my attacker had left a toilet roll. After struggling with that I had carefully wrapped the toilet roll around my head as a makeshift bandage, hoping it would at least keep it clean and stop the blood dripping down my neck.
The dampness in the back of my coat indicating the wound was probably more of a concern than I was letting it be to me at the moment.
I knew by now there would be people looking for me, I just didn't know where I was or how long I had been unconscious.
I shivered as I pushed up to my feet again, swaying as my body and mind fought and lost. Biting my lip to hold back my cry as I slipped back to the floor.
It seemed like hours before I stirred again my whole body feeling numb as the cold had taken over and I huffed knowing the real risks from being so cold. I hated that I could do nothing to help myself, I was trapped, weak and with life threatening injuries.
I let my mind wander to the twins, wondering what they were doing, did they know I had disappeared, did they care. I remembered we were going to have a picnic, did they think I had stood them up? Would Bishop blame them for this? Could this be Stewart, he had vanished and if he knew I had gone to Bishop would he be stupid enough to do this? I shook my head then regretted it, feeling a surge of fiery pain split my mind and make me gasp and black spots dance across my vision.
I tried not to panic and didn't pass out, but settled back against the wall trying hard not to cry, wanting to think of something good I thought again about the twins, so different yet so similar, each of them calling to me but together they were everything I never knew I wanted or needed. I wished I had had more time with them.
A faint noise made me lift my head, was someone coming, I waited tense, hearing nothing, then I heard it again, a car. I didn't care who it was, if it was my attacker what more could they do to me, if it was help, I needed to let them know I was here. "Help!" i called out my voice breaking and my head pulsing.
I took some deep breaths before trying again. "HELP!" I cried, hoping they could hear me. I could hear movement, i needed to keep going.
"HELP!"
"MAISIE!" I heard my name and felt the relief hit me, causing my body to shake.
"HELP!" I screamed again, and black spots crowded in as I heard a bang and another then the crash of the door being broken. My vision blurred and I swayed...
"Help!" I gasped seeing blurs come towards me and heard familiar voices raised in concern as the black took over and I collapsed against the wall. I was saved now I could relax...
