Danielle's mind registers aches in her body as she struggles to consciousness, fighting the heavy shroud of stupor that clouds her mind. Dani's heart is pounding as she seeks to understand her surroundings, discovering that not only is she unable to move but she is unable to see, hear or scream. She moves testing her bonds but they are secure, arms above her head, knots out of reach, legs spread painfully wide, allowing her to feel the cold night air against even her most intimate areas, bare to whomever should enter the room.
The silence is overwhelming as she wrestles with the situation she has awoken to, her breathing fast and hard, muscles straining against her bonds, her shouts meeting the gag before falling quietly within the room. She struggles in fear of what is coming, the wild desperate need to be free taking hold and reactions of abject terror possessing her.
Gradually as time passes, the pain in her wrists, ankles and throat slow her, the tears pool against her blindfold, she stops straining to hear anyone's approach, she is growing weak but she is stubborn...it takes a long while before her body ceases the fight against the bonds, the desperate noises gradually become moans of fear, and her body begins to shiver uncontrollably.
Unbeknownst to the girl, each movement and sound has been observed by the figure sitting near the bed, leaning forward, tense throughout her display of desperation, relaxing only when she begins to shiver and whimper softly, his hand clenched to keep from reaching out to touch her, not yet he tells himself, she isn't ready yet. As her breathing deepens he stands, reaching for a nearby sheet, and covers her before returning to recline in his seat, contemplating the girl before him, and smiling as he drifts to sleep.
Time passes and Dani awakens with a thud as her situation greets her anew, not knowing how long she has lain thus, but aware of the pain rushing her awake, groaning as her movements remain restrained. Her awareness is limited to her physical senses, the cover laying on her, causes her to pause, wondering when this was draped over her and finally she wonders who has done this to her? This thought is cut short as her body calls attention to her more immediate needs, wondering when she will be given a drink or allowed to use the bathroom. Without realizing it, she is beginning to accept this circumstance as her reality, and work her way through how to cope.
Dani's body jerks as she feels the cover being pulled from her, air rushing to envelope her bare skin eliciting a muffled scream and renewed struggling. She shivers at the removal of the ear coverings, feeling a breath against her neck as she hears a calm firm masculine voice, telling her to relax, so that he might explain her situation to her, asking if she is willing to listen, if so she should nod her head to show she understands.
Danielle nods as best she can amid her bonds, feeling the movement alongside her, down the length of her body, a warm hand is placed on her thigh, sliding lightly over her skin prompting her to renew her struggles, tears again welling in her eyes.
"When you are still and I again have your complete attention, I shall begin my explanations."
Silence pounds against her ears, as she seeks to calm herself, her attempts to regain control being watched by the mysterious stranger, who has her completely at his mercy.
