Hostage

Hostage
Natalie opened her eyes and saw the dark surroundings. She was about to scratch her face when something was tied in her hands, and she couldn’t make it move. She frowned and started to look around, but she saw nothing but darkness.
“Where am I?” she asked herself while trying to remember what had happened earlier. She frowned as she saw something not far from her. 
“Finally, you already woke up.” She looked at the one who spoke and saw Cora; she turned on the lights, and that’s why Natalie suddenly closed her eyes. She slowly opens her eyes and frowns as soon as she remembers what happened earlier. It was Cora who hit her a hard thing earlier, which caused her to lose consciousness. Natalie looks around and seems like she’s in a tree house. She look to Cora who is smiling at her watching her while it’s arms are cross.
“What the fuck are you going to do with me?!” She shouted, which caused Cora to laugh and walk closer to her; she grabbed one plastic chair and sat in front of her.
“Nothing,” Cora said, smiling at her as if she were so happy to see where Natalie was now. I won’t do much harm to you; I am not that bad,” Cora added, so Natalie chuckled sarcastically as if Cora had said something funny.
“Cut off that kind of attitude, Cora. You know what you’re really like.” Natalie said, making Cora laugh even more. Natalie secretly released her sharp claw and tried to cut the rope tied to her.
“You are mean, Natalie,” Cora said, sighing. Anyway, my ex-fiancee went here earlier and was looking for you. Are you two back to each other again?” she asked while watching Natalie’s emotions. Natalie showed no fear while looking at Cora; she just smirked at her and messed up with her.
“I don’t think so, but my ex-husband, who is your ex-fiance, confessed his feelings for me,” Natalie said, which made Cora's blood boil, but she didn’t make it evident to Natalie as she didn’t want her to see that she was annoyed by what Natalie said to her.
“Really? How pathetic he is, right? He had me by his side the whole time, but then he managed to confess his feelings for you,” Cora said, which made Natalie laugh.
“Yeah, he did that to me, remember?” Natalie asks so Cora’s smile fades slowly as she remembers how Norwan chose her over Natalie before, but it seems like Norwan did the same thing to her now that he broke up with her and chased Natalie.
“I wonder how you felt now that you know what I am feeling when he chooses you,” Natalie added and successfully cut the rope, but she needed to act as if she had not and that her hand was still tied.
Natalie saw the irritation on Cora’s face, which caused her to laugh while looking at Cora.
“I think you should get revenge on him since he did shitty things to you,” Natalie said, so Cora laughed sarcastically.
“Don’t fool me, Natalie. I won’t do things that you’ve done to get his attention again. I have my own ways,” Cora said, so Natalie just shrugged and smiled at her.
“Okay, ‘let’s see if your plan will work,” Natalie said, which caused Cora to be mad at her even more. She stood up from her seat and approached Natalie to hold her face tight.
“Don’t tell me what to do, Natalie,” Cora said with her madly voice. “I have the brains to think of the plan. I just need to get you rid so I can be with him forever.” Natalie laughs because of Cora’s words.
“Sorry, I just can’t stop myself from laughing,” Natalie said, clearing her throat.
“Are you making fun of me?” Cora asked while frowning at Natalie. Natalie just shook her head, which caused Cora to slap her hard. Natalie suddenly stopped as she felt the pain of her slap and looked at Cora, who was now smirking at her.
“Don’t fucking look at me like that, bitch.” Cora said while smirking to Natalie. “I fucking hate you since the first time I saw you enter our mansion; you’re nothing but useless; remember that,” Cora said, so Natalie laughed at her and smirked.
“If I am useless, then why do you need me to tie you up here and make you hostage?” Natalie asks, so Cora flinches her hand while looking at Natalie.
“You’re just scared of your own ghost, Cora,” Natalie said. “You’re scared that a useless person like me will reveal all of your skeletons in your closet,” Natalie said, so Cora slapped her once again.
“Slap me once, and I’ll show you how a useless gets mad,” Natalie said while smirking at Cora. Cora was frowning while looking at her. She then smiles as she remembers that Natalie is all tied up, so she can’t do anything to her.
“Really? What will a loser like you will do if your hands are tied?” Cora asked and slapped Natalie once again. With that, Natalie pushed Cora hard, which caused Cora’s back to bump into the plastic chair; Natalie kicked Cora’s chest and punched her face hard, which caused Cora to shout in pain. Natalie pulls Cora’s hair and slaps Cora twice in her hair before she kicks her stomach, which causes Cora to lie down on the ground while in pain.
“Fuck you, Cora. I won’t let you slap me like that if I knew I can’t do nothing.” Natalie said and pushed Cora away from her. She then starts to run to the exit when Cora starts shouting.
“Don’t let her go!” Cora shouted, which Natalie heard. She ran as fast as she could as she saw a man chasing her. She went down from the tree house and ran towards her car, but her keys were no longer with her, so she went to the forest and ran as fast as she could to escape from the man who was following her.
“Damn it! I have no phones with me!” She said while running away. Her feet started to feel numb in pain and weakened; she suddenly fell down and looked back to see the man chasing her. She swallowed as soon as she saw them again, that’s why she turned into a wolf and started to run away from them again.
