Sitting alone in the dark, I wondered where he was, what he was doing. It had been 2 weeks since I had last seen him and I missed him like crazy. I thought back to our last conversation. I had told him my fantasy of being taken by force and made to do things I wouldn't usually do. When I told him this, I didn't mean I wanted to be hurt in any way, shape or form. He thought I was sick and left my apartment.
I had done nothing but cry since he left me that night. Regretting that I told him my darkest fantasy. I loved him so much, and was now frightened that I had lost him forever. My heart was breaking more as each minute passed.
As I sat there, I heard a noise at my window. Someone was on my fire escape. I thought about calling the police, but as I picked up my phone it was dead. As my window started to open, my fear grew. Who was it? Was I about to be robbed? I ran quickly to my bedroom and hid in my closet. The person at my window was now inside my apartment moving around, listening for sounds of movement. My heart was pounding so loud I feared being discovered in my hiding place. He was now in my bedroom and walking towards the closet. As the door opened, I cried out, but no sound came out.
The man was wearing all black and had a mask covering his face so I couldn't see any of his features. There was however something very familiar about the way he moved and the smell of his cologne. I finally found my voice and screamed loudly hoping my neighbors would hear me. But before I could get much of a scream out his hand was over my mouth. I couldn't make any noise at all. I tried to bite the hand that was covering my mouth, but that just got me slapped. The stinging made my eyes tear up.
He told me to be quiet and I wouldn't get hurt. He then caressed the spot where he had slapped me. His tenderness surprised me. I was still very scared, but didn't feel as if I was in any danger from this intruder. He pulled me out of the closet and told me to find my purse and to give him any money I had in it. I only had $20 and this seemed to upset him. He saw my bankcard in my wallet and asked me how much money I had in my bank account. I saw no reason to lie to this man so I told him I didn't get paid for 3 more days, but I had $150 in my checking account. This still wasn't enough money for this stranger and he was getting quite agitated. He told me to get dressed, we were going to an ATM to get the money out of my account. I got dressed slowly hoping that one of my neighbors heard him on the fire escape. He shoved me down to the bed and whispered in my ear to hurry up. I finished getting dressed and grabbed my purse and keys.
We walked down the stairs and exited my building. I considered trying to run away from him. He must have sensed something was up. He told me to stay right beside him. He had a gun in his pocket and didn't want to hurt me. We got to the ATM and I pulled out my card and inserted it into the machine. My hands were shaking so bad I entered the number wrong. This upset him even more than he already was. I tried again and got it right this time. I got my money and as we walked away I handed it to him. I thought he would let me go back home. That wasn't to be the case.
He took my keys from me and hailed a cab. I didn't know where he was taking me to and was scared to ask. I didn't have to wait long to find out what was to happen to me. I didn't recognize the address my captor gave to the cabbie, but I knew it was on the other side of town, in a not so nice neighborhood. He informed me that he was going to take me to a friends house and we were going to stay there till I got paid, at which time I would cash my paycheck and give it to him. I wondered what I was to do about work.
We arrived at the house he had mentioned and I was almost too frightened to move. He grabbed me by the arm and pulled me out of the cab. His fingers were digging into my arm so hard I knew I would end up with a bruise there. I just hoped that a bruise wouldn't be the least of my worries through this ordeal. While I waited for him to open the door to the house, I attempted one last time to free myself and run away, hoping I could catch the cab before he pulled away. I realized this was a mistake. He grabbed me by the hair and jerked me back to him. He pushed me face first against this door and said I would pay for that.
