The picture is Charlotte's bedroom at Eli's house.
"Come on, darling you've slept enough. I brought you some food, come on." What's going on? I struggle to open eyes. "Come on princess, that's it wake up." Finally they open. I take in my surroundings. Blue walls, a big window, a couch and some chairs. Where am I? Finally, everything comes flooding back. The guy came into my house, he... what happened after that? I scream and he wraps his arms around me. I pull back almost falling off the bed. "Darling it's okay calm down. You're home now. Our home." What? What is he talking about? I'm not home.
"What are you talking about!? Where am I?!" I scream at him backing myself up to the edge of the bed.
He smiles at me. "Home darling, with me. We can finally be together forever! No one can take you away from me." He picks a tray up from the nightstand beside the bed. "I made you some food, I thought your stomach may be a bit upset after the chloroform, so I made you something easy."
"Y-you chloroformed me?!" I ask, horrified. "What...what did you do while I was...unconscious." I back away further and look at myself, sighing relieved when I find my clothes still on.
He looks at me shocked. "Darling! How could you even think that! I would never hurt you. I love you, just like you love me." He smiles and reaches for my hand.
I pull back falling off the bed with a thud. "Don't touch me! I don't know you and I DEFINITELY don't love you!"
His face contorts with anger and he stands up throwing the tray across the room. "I have been nothing but kind towards you and this is how you treat me?" He says in a low, deadly voice.
He walks towards me slowly and I back away. "I-I'm sorry please don't hurt me!" I curl into a corner covering my face with my hands. He grabs my arm pulling me up roughly and throws me on the bed. He cuffs each of my hands to the bed.
"This is what is going to happen each and every time you have an outburst like that." He says angrily and walks out of the room, slamming the door and locking it. ⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅∙∘☽༓☾∘∙•⋅⋅⋅•⋅⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅∙∘☽༓☾∘∙•⋅⋅⋅•⋅⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅
I don't know how long it's been but it's starting to get dark and I'm starting to get hungry. He still hasn't come back and I don't know if that's good or bad. My wrists are raw from yanking on the cuffs and my voice is hoarse from screaming. I'm completely exhausted and I just want to go home.
Click. The door unlocks and swings open. I lift my head from the pillow. He stands there, a smile on his face like nothing happened. "Hello darling." He walks into the room shutting the door. "I assume we're done with the outburst from earlier?" He sits on the bed beside me and I squirm away as far as the cuffs will let me.
"Come on darling, don't be like that." He grabs my arm, gripping tight and pulls me back to him. "Don't make me hurt you, because you know I will." He growls lowly, glaring at me. "Just behave darling."
"Never." I say through gritted teeth and pull away from him again. I glare at him and yank harshly on the cuffs.
He closes his eyes, clenching his fists. "I guess you're still acting childish." He stands up. When you're ready to act right just call." He leaves, not slamming the door this time but still locking it.

Even more time has passed and the room is pitch black. My mouth is dry and my stomach hurts fiercely from not eating. He hasn't come back and I kind of wish he would. No, I can't give in. I won't. But, I'm so hungry and I really need to use the restroom. Maybe cooperating won't be that bad. I try to call out to him but my mouth is so dry from not drinking anything for hours that barely a squeak comes out.
I jump around on the bed, using the last of my energy, to make noise. Exhausted I lay back on the bed. An hour later, or at least that's what it feels like although it was probably only a few minutes, I hear the door being unlocked and it creaks open. He walks in. "What was the noise about?" He asks.
I try to speak again, only to get the same result as before. He rushes over a concerned look on his face. "Oh, darling, you need something to drink don't you? And probably some food too. Are you ready to cooperate? I promise, it will be a lot easier if you do."
I hesitate and finally nod. He grins and unlocks the cuffs. When he sees my wrists he gasps. "Darling! Look at your wrists! Let's get those taken care of and then we can get you some food and water."
He picks me up and carries me out of the room into another one which I assume is the living room. I wince from the sudden light and after my eyes adjust I look around. The walls are a beige color and there is a tan couch pushed against one wall. Across from that is a cherry stained wooden tv stand with a huge tv on it and in the middle of the room is a matching coffee table. He sets me gently on the couch and leaves the room.
I try to push myself into a sitting position but instead push my self off the couch. I land with a loud thud. I groan softly in pain. He rushes in with gauze, tape, and a damp washcloth in his hands.
"Darling! What happened?" He sets the stuff down on the table an rushes over picking me up and putting me back on the couch. "Don't move okay? I'm going to bandage your wrists."
He grabs the washcloth and gently wipes my wrists clean. I flinch in pain, pulling my wrists back. "Sorry darling but you have to let me wash your wrists." He gently grabs my hands again and continues. When he's done he wraps them both in gauze and tapes it so it will stay.
"Better?" He asks and I nod my head. "Okay now time to get you some food and water." He picks me back up and carries me to the kitchen. He sets me in a chair and gets me a glass of water. I take a few hesitant sips before downing the whole glass.
"Tha-" I clear my throat. "Thank you." He smiles softly. "Uhm, can I," I look down, "Can I use the restroom?"
He nods and helps me stand. "Of course darling." He leads me to the bathroom and waits outside. I do my business and then walk out. "Thank you."
"You're welcome darling, now what would you like to eat?" He asks, with a smile on his face, as he leads me back to the kitchen. He helps me sit back down then sits across from me. "So, what will it be darling?"
"Uhm...eggs I guess?" I say, sounding more like a question than a statement.
"Eggs it is then darling." He pulls out eggs and butter from the fridge and starts cooking. I look at the clock on the other side of the room. 4:02. By how dark it is outside, I'm sure it's in the morning. A few minutes later a plate is sat in front of me with fluffy yellow scrambled eggs and a piece of buttered toast.
"Scrambled eggs and toast, just how you like it. Dig in darling." He smiles at me and I take a small bite. Perfect, soft and buttery. I eat slowly savoring every bite until I'm done. When I'm done he sets another glass of water down in front of me along with two pills, a small white one and a bigger orange one.
"Take them darling." He smiles.
"What are they?" I ask, hesitant to take the pills.
He sighs. "The white one is to help you sleep, the orange one is to ease the pain." He gives me a look. "Take them, they'll help you I promise. I wouldn't hurt you darling."
Keeping with the decision to cooperate I take them and drink the glass of water, slower this time. He smiles, pleased that I'm listening. "Alright time for bed darling. You haven't slept this whole time."
He helps me up and goes to pick me up but I move away. "I can walk. Thank you though." I smile thinly.
"Alright darling but you're sleeping in my room tonight." He grins.
"No, no thank you I'd rather sleep in the room I was in." I reply, my voice shaking a bit, hoping he doesn't make me.
"Oh darling, you never had a choice in the matter." He smirks darkly.
