Amy wanted to scream. She would have, but she couldn't, not with a sock stuffed into her mouth, covered over with duct tape. She tried, but all that came out was a sort of muffled, panicked hum. She lifted her head, and ropes dug their rough fibers into her naked back. Amy's breathing quickened as she realized her situation: she was naked and tied to a sawhorse. Similar ropes bound her wrists and ankles to the sawhorse's legs. Rope burns quickly formed and splinters dug into her tender flesh. Amy struggled briefly against her bondage, but gave up as she found it fruitless, only causing her pain. Instead, she tried to look around at her surroundings. She was definitely in some kind of building, but it was dark, and she couldn't make out details of the walls. The air was cool. Maybe she was in a basement. Amy's nipples were hard from fear and cold, and she shivered involuntarily, then immediately regretted it as splinters dug deeper into her.
Amy tried to remember what had happened to her. She knew she had been out for an evening walk. Amy searched her memory. Hadn't she been distracted by something? A sound? A puppy. It had been a man playing with a puppy and she'd stopped to admire the adorable little beagle. What had happened next? As hard as she tried, Amy couldn't remember anything after scratching the puppy's ears.
Heavy footfalls alerted Amy that someone was walking down a flight of stairs nearby, probably in work boots. A door squeaked open loudly, scraping as it caught on the doorframe. Amy saw brief light in her peripheral vision, but it blinked out again quickly as the door closed.
"Good. I've been waiting for you to wake up. Everything's more fun when you've got company."
Amy felt an acrid sting in the back of her throat. She fought down vomit-if she let that happen she'd almost certainly choke to death. She felt cold bolts of terror through her body and beads of sweat from fear and horror sprang up from her naked flesh. She tried to cry out around the sock.
The man chuckled. "Go ahead, dear. Scream away. There's no one else here, and I don't mind." He touched her buttocks with his fingertips, and slowly trailed his hand up her lower back, along her rib cage, and up to her shoulders.
Amy's terror was complete now, and she struggled hard, oblivious to the splinters and rope burn, which was now becoming severe. Tears pooled in her eyes and began trailing down her cheeks. This couldn't be happening to her. This happened only to other people, people on the news, not to Amy Kendrick!
