Bound by Fate

Chapter 29

Sara awoke to the strange and unfamiliar feeling of hard rocks pressing into her skin as a chilly breeze wafted over her nightdress clad body.

Her eyes opened to see a strange man in front of her with a bowl of some sort of liquid or food.

"Morning your highness, I hope your new living conditions are not a problem," he said with a definitely evil smirk.

Sara looked around taking in her surroundings and seeing nothing more than the inside of a cave with a warm fire going.

Her eyes went wide in horror as she looked down and saw her wrists and ankles were bound by rope.

"Who are you and why on Earth am I tied up? By the way I can you please untie me, the ropes are a little tight?" She demanded.

"You've just noticed you're restrained and already you're trying to trick me into letting you go," he laughed.

"Well it's the least you can do after rudely kidnapping me," she muttered.

"Don't forget poisoning you as well," he admitted proudly.

"You were the one that poisoned me?!"

"Guilty as charged, my queen," he said.

"Why are you calling me a queen and would you just let me go?! I have nothing to do with any feud or rivalry you may have," she said as she tried to untie her ropes, with a lot of difficulty.

"And what's the point of letting you go when I have worked so hard to capture you, the King's long awaited beloved. The King is so worked up about finding you a cure that I doubt he has noticed your absence yet. I've already given you the antidote to the poison that I've crafted, as soon as I got you here," he said.

She really just wanted to get back into bed and not deal with a crazy kidnapper, who just seemed weird. He was like some comic book supervillain, kidnapping a girl just to draw out the hero whilst manically giving away his entire plan. He had not given away his plan entirely but he had given away everything he had done. It was kind off boring for her.

"Do you have a phone for me to play on if you're not planning on releasing me? I'm feeling rather bored and also do you maybe have a bed or some pillows because these rocks are hard," she asked.

"What is a phone?"

"Are you seriously that backward?"

"How dare you-"

"I just want a phone to play on. I'm bored and as my captor is it not your responsibility to entertain me?" She asked.

"Look here little queen, that's not how it works-"

"Would you stop calling me a queen? I am not royalty. I just want a phone to play on or something to do. I mean what else am I supposed to do when I am tied up like a damsel in distress. You put me in this situation, you have to entertain me," she said.

"No I don't. I kidnapped you. Understand that. You are my hostage. I get to do what I want with you," he said.

"Well someone did not read Kindapping someome 101," she muttered.

"And what's that?"

"A book that tells you precisely how to kidnap someone and the rules of kidnapping. If you kidnap someone you have to entertain them or else they will annoy you until your head explodes. Rule 55," she said.

"Head explodes?"

"Mhm. I wouldn't think too much of it," she replied sweetly.

"Look I do not have a phone or whatever thingy. I don't know what that is and I'venever seen one in my life. So would you please-"
