The warm sunlight streams through the window, falling across her face.. waking her gently... her head still hazed..
Trying to wipe the sleep from her eyes and gather herself.. find her bearings.. Where was she?
As the world came into focus, her surroundings still were not becoming familiar.
What is this place? What happened?
Looking around, she instinctly wrapped her arms around herself, rubbing her hands up and down her arms, to try and gather warmth.
There was a chill in the air, even though the lighting was warm and inviting. The pile carpet beneath her was soft, and of a high quality. The walls seemed stark, even thought they were coated with a nice shade of cream and were adorned with paintings of country landscapes. The drapes were a dark wine colored, velvety material and pooled on the floor beneath the high windows, very romantically.
That is when she realized, her chill was being caused by the alarming fact that she was sitting there completely naked.
The only warmth she felt was from her own hair, cascading down her back.. it felt clean and fresh, like it had just been washed and dried recently.
But, when?
Her mind was still fuzzed.. she couldn't remember anything after ... after...
*her mind races... trying to find some sort of time line.. some sort of clue in her Swiss cheese head that she could use to determine what was going on.*
She remembers going to the store.. buying some assorted foods to prepare dinner.. driving towards home....receiving a phone call on her cell... Needed to go back to the store and pick up some milk...
Then it hit her...
Back in the parking lot...
*fear runs through her body, like a knife being dragged across her back with the intention of drawing blood...*
She remembers being asked if she knew where Market Street was. The girl looked familiar and friendly, an inviting smile on her lips. Kitten wasn't completely sure of how to direct the girl to the address, but was sure she had a map in the van, somewhere.
How many times had she warned her children not to talk to strangers? How many times had she warned of deviants hiding behind innocent faces? How did she fall for the same warnings that she had given? And.. How could a grown woman be lured in such a cunning way?
As Kitten reach into the van for the map, she remembers being shoved in and an awaiting pair of strong arms surrounded her and shoved a cloth in her mouth... the last thing she remembers is a familiar fragrance.. a masculine scent and the glimpse of a black leather coat.
Now, here she sat...stunned.. staring in disbelief at the four walls of this barren room... and a looming, wooden door with an iron latched handle.
As she attempts to stand up. Kitten realizes that her shoulder muscles are sore.. as are her legs and arms.. like she had just done a major workout, or after coming home from serving all night at the local BDSM club. Still, there were no marks that she could see.. no evidence of 'foul play'.
Puzzled, she walked over to one of the two high windows... they're frosted... so she could not see much, but blurred images below.. she was at least two stories up, and it looked like a large parking lot was just below.. a park or other green space just beyond.. but no movements that she could determine... The sun was high, but not yet setting.. so it had to be early in the day..
But what day?
She had been shopping for dinner.. it was at least 4:30 from her last recollection...
Was it the next day, Friday?
