The first thing I noticed was the stale air that I hung stagnant on my skin. I darted my tongue out in an attempt to wet my parched lips and found my bottom lip swollen. The metallic taste in my mouth indicating the presence of a cut. My hand rushes to my head as I stand, wincing in pain. I can feel a gash on my forehead that is surrounded by dried blood.
"What the hell happened last night," I grunt out to myself. I knew I had had a few drinks, but I am usually pretty good about holding my liquor.
It is completely dark in the.. where ever the hell I am. By the musty smell I figure I am in some sort of basement. My hands reach out as I stumble around in the darkness. If I can find a wall then maybe I can trace it to a door and get the fuck out of here. I feel as graceful as a toddler as I awkwardly move around the area. It must be rather large since I have not come into contact with anything yet. Pushing down the panic that threatens to rise inside of me, I make my way foreword until my foot gets hooked on something and I tumble down onto my knees. Whatever I had tripped on made a loud metallic rattling sound as I fell.
Someone must have heard the noise because the next thing I knew, a fluorescent light flickers on above me with a soft hum. It's dull light fights against the darkness to illuminate the wide expanse in front of me. My breathing stills and my blood runs cold as I survey my surroundings. The walls are made of red brick and there is a staircase leading up to the next floor. Yup, I'm in a basement. Great. But what really makes me uneasy is it looks like a torture room. While most of the basement is dirty and unkempt, there is a corner that is pristine. In that corner, my eyes settle on a gynecological chair. The walls that surround the chair have items like whips, gags, a long reed staff, various ties and blind folds.
Goosebumps rise to the surface of my skin and a shiver runs through me.
"I have got to get the fuck out of here," I declare with much more bravery than I feel. Now that I can see, I stand up and run over to the stairs, taking the steps two at a time until I stand in front of the door. Stupidly, I try turning the doorknob. It's locked. Of course. So I resort to banging my fists against the door and screaming at the top of my lungs.
It takes me a good five minutes to realize a few key things:
A. Someone knows I am down here because they put me here.
And (my heart sinks at this point)
B. It wasn't a mistake. They aren't just going to let me go because I asked.
Turning slowly I park my ass on the steps in silence. My throat feeling hoarse from all the screaming. My head sinks into my hands as I take a shuddering deep breath trying to calm myself. A creaking sound startles me, I leap up and hold my first out in front of myself. The door slowly slides open and a man wearing a black mask sets a tray of food and a bottle of water down just inside the door. I sprint towards the door just as he is closing it.
"Wait!" I scream. "What do you want with me?!?"
Quietly, I wait for a response but none comes. So I grab the food and sit back down. On a school lunch style tray is a peanut butter sandwich and an apple. I crack open the bottle of water and gulp it down as quickly as I can. Despite not having eaten since dinner yesterday, or what I assume was yesterday, I can't find the will to put anything to my mouth. I do grab the apple and make my way back down the steps to the clean corner of the room.
I notice a cot I must have missed before and I sit down.
"Okay," I tell myself, "let's replay the events. I went out to eat with Vee and Becks and then we went to Cloud, the new club that opened up downtown. We danced, laughed, had a few drinks and..."
My eyes become as big as saucers as I remember a man that approached me with a drink. It wasn't my usual but I didn't want to be rude. He was cute enough. Dark hair and (what I now realize) was an even darker smile. He was just a few inches taller than my 5 foot 9, broad shoulders, tan, and had gorgeous blue eyes than made me want to sink into them. They were so different than my brown eyes. Had he done this to me? I remember accepting the drink but little else after that. At some point I must have gotten hurt since I have these cuts. Hopefully I gave them hell and fought back.
A loudspeaker above me groans and a man's voice broadcasts through, "Hello. My name is X. It's nice to see you are awake Lana. I'm not one for fancy words so I will cut right to the point. I'm a film maker, but the films I make are for exclusive clientele. They have particular tastes that border somewhere between cruel and euphoric. We have brought you here to make a movie with us. That's it. You make the movie and we will let you go."
It hits me how ridiculous this all sounds. Make a movie? What is to say I'm not going to go straight to the cops and tell them everything that has gone on here? This is all so surreal, I am standing in a basement, staring up at the ceiling like it holds the answers to life.
The speaker comes back,
"You may be asking yourself, why would we just let you go? Simple. We will release the movie we make to the public. Your mom, Beverly and Dad, Hank and your sweet grandma Ester will all get to see what a filthy whore you are. I am betting that is something you don't want."
I begin shaking my head back and forth nervously in response as if he can see me. For all I know he can. How does he know my parents? My grandma? They must have been stalking me. My mind begins to race at the possibility. I can feel myself spinning out of control.
