It was Saturday. Both Alex and Sayaka were off of work. Currently it was about 8 am. They had the whole day ahead of them to do whatever they want. They were both sitting on the bed. Alex had dark brown hair and brown eyes. He was considerably skinny. Sayaka had black hair and brown eyes. They were about the same height, weight, and build. Sayaka said, "I'm going downstairs to get some breakfast. Sit tight, I'll bring you some." Alex smiled and replied "Thanks."
They loved eachother dearly. They weren't exactly the most outgoing of people. They wouldn't really stand out in a crowd. However, when they were together, they sprung to life. They felt so happy and at peace together. They made eachother laugh and they loved every moment they spent together. Just as Alex was sitting contempt and calm, he heard a loud smash that sounded like glass being shattered. Obviously concerned, Alex ran out the door and down the stairs. He was horrified by the unpleasant sight he saw.
A man dressed in black clothes pointed a gun to Sayaka's head. She stood, petrified, with a terrified look in her innocent eyes. He must have smashed the window. The man was a few inches taller than Alex and seemed slightly more built than him. The man said, "Move and I'll blow your sweetheart's brains out." Alex had no choice and instantly complied. He raised his hands in defeat. "Please, don't hurt her.", Alex requested, with terror in his voice. "On the floor now!" barked the man. Without any hesitation, he complied to the man's orders. Both Alex and Sayaka were terrified. They didn't know what this man wanted and what would happen to them.
The man pulled out ropes from a bag he had set on the floor. He began to restrain Sayaka. The man kept his gun very close. "Don't think about trying anything, ok prettyboy?", threatened the man. Alex wouldn't dare. He was so tense, that he could barley move. Sayaka's wrists were tied behind her back. Her arms tied to her chest, thighs and feet tied, and a gag in her mouth. After he finished with her, he tied up Alex. Sayaka felt awful as she saw her boyfriend being restrained. She didn't know what would happen to either of them. When the man finished, he put them about 15 feet apart in their living room. He cleaned up all traces of broken glass, so they couldn't break free. He left and looked through the house. "Ah ha!! This'll do!!", he said. Both Alex and Sayaka looked nervously at eachother, too scared to even test how tight their bonds were.
The man returned and dragged them to their closet. He cleaned it out, so that they'll both fit in it. He secured both of them on opposite sides of the closet with some hooks and a little extra rope. They sat down, facing eachother in the closet. They were too far away to help eachother with their bonds. All they could do was sit and look at eachother. The man turned on the light in the closet, so that they could see eachother. He then shut the door. He left and began tearing up the house doing god knows what. They both looked at eachother.
Alex saw fear in Sayaka's brown eyes. She was so afraid. Alex wanted to comfort her and tell her everything was alright. It wasn't. They were at the mercy of this terrible man who invaded their home and kidnapped them. Alex wanted to gently hug Sayaka, even if it was for one last time before they die, but he couldn't. They both struggled with their bonds.They were tight. Alex felt a wave of despair. He was inches away from her, but he couldn't feel any more distant. He had no hope left...
No!!! He couldn't give up.It was a mind game. The man wanted to break his will. He wanted him to feel so helpless, when he was so close to his girlfriend. He wanted them to look at eachother, knowing there was nothing they could do and watch as they were helplessly waiting for their fate. Alex wouldn't give up. There had to be a way. Alex would find it. Alex felt his arms in the rope. Would he really let this stop him. Would he let it be the end of him and Sayaka. Hell no! Alex felt a new wave of energy and hope arise from within him. Sayaka saw the fire in his eyes. Alex began to struggle to free his hands. As he struggled, Sayaka struggled too. Alex felt the rope bite into him. He ignored it. He pulled with all his strength, even if it barely moved his hand, he persisted. He would never give up. His hands were sore from the friction of the rope, and both hands were red, as they were cut off from blood flow. Alex didn't care. He wouldn't let the pain stop him. His and Sayaka's lives both depended on it. Sayaka also fought hard too. She saw the determination in his eyes and she too fought the ropes with all her might. Alex's shoulders ached from the effort he put forth, but Alex was unstoppable. After about 30 min. Alex finally freed his hands.
He wasted no time in untying the rest of his bonds. Sayaka looked relieved, but she continued to fight her own bonds nevertheless. After Alex was free, he moved towards Sayaka. It was too late!!! The closet door began opening. Alex, had to postpone freeing Sayaka, and defeat the attacker. As the door opened, Alex charged, jumping off the ground for greater momentum. The man was caught off guard. Alex slammed into the attacker and sent him smashing into the ground with a powerful blow. Alex saw the gun in his hand. Alex grabbed the man's wrist with all his strength. The man punched Alex in the face. Alex's jaw vibrated, as his head was jerked back from the force of the blow, but Alex still held on. The man now stood up and grabbed Alex's arm to try and rip it off. Alex used his other arm to stop him. The 2 men struggled, both fighting for the gun. Alex eventually got the gun away, and it was sent flying through the air, across the room. The men then let go of eachothers arms, as there was no gun to fight for anymore. Alex used all his strength to punch the man in the stomach. He doubled over in pain from the blow. Alex then proceeded to continue with a kick to the ribs, but the man hit Alex's leg in mid air, with a kick of his own. Alex was thrown off balance and fell to the floor.
Now the man got Alex in a headlock. He was going to choke him to death!!! Alex tried to use his arms to pry away the grip of the man, but he couldn't. The man was determined to kill him. Alex, then used a last resort. He smashed his elbow in to the man's stomach. He loosened the grip, but Alex wasn't free yet. Alex did it again, but the man knew what was happening. He fought through the pain and tightened his hold. Alex felt his neck being crushed. He didn't know what to do. He was going to die!!!
Just then a crowbar was smashed against the man's skull. The pain was too intense. He let go of and put his hands on his head where blood was dripping from. Sayaka held the weapon. She had managed to escape during the fight. She then hit the man in the stomach with the weapon. The man was now helpless. As Alex recovered, Sayaka let Alex land the last blow. Alex punched the man in the face, knocking him out cold.
Alex and Sayaka immediately kissed. They both felt eachother's bodies, both glad that they were ok. "Thanks.", Alex said as he was still breathing in heavily. Alex looked at her wrists. They were red. She obviously fought hard to escape. He then looked across the room at the gun. He started walking over, but Sayaka's arm was placed infront of his chest, blocking his way. "Don't kill him.", she urged. "Why not?!", Alex asked, obviously enraged. "If we kill him, it wouldn't make us any better than him. He is unconcious. He can't do any harm now. Killing him won't solve anything.", she pleaded. Alex saw the reasoning in words. "I'm sorry", he said as he backed off.
As Sayaka dialed 911, Alex began to tie up the attacker. He kept watch on him. Both Alex and Sayaka were still a little on edge. The man hadn't taken any valuables. They both had no clue what he would've done to them. They were both just glad that they were out of harm's way now.
The police eventually arrived. They took away the man. Unfortunately for Alex and Sayaka, they also spent hours asking them questions and gathering evidence. By 3 pm, they were satisfied and left. "So much for our Saturday.", Alex sighed. "At least we still have eachother. Plus we still have tonight.", she said optomistically. "What are you planning?", Alex asked. "I don't know", she said with a slight smile. Well a night with Sayaka wasn't bad, he thought. They both walked into the bedroom and shut the door behind them.
THE END
