00:00My head pounds like a war drum. The heavy stench of chloroform is gone.
00:04I shoot up, gasping for air. I'm not in the alleyway anymore. I'm on a silk-sheeted king
00:09bed in a gilded cage. Then the heavy mahogany double doors swing open.
00:14The terrifying leader. He strolls in, like a king surveying his territory.
00:19Where am I? Let me go!
00:21You aren't going anywhere, Elena. You've been mine since the day I saw you.
00:30Saw me? I don't even know who you are. You're a psychopath. I'll go to the police.
00:35I am the police in this city, Angel, and I've been watching you for two long years.
00:40Pure survival instinct hijacks my brain. I lunge for the heavy crystal water glass on the nightstand.
00:50I grip a jagged, bloody shard and press the razor-sharp edge directly to my own wrist.
00:55Stay back! Open that door right now, or I swear to God, I'll do it!
01:00He closes the distance and wraps directly around the jagged crystal and my fist.
01:04Blood wells up instantly.
01:06Do you think death will save you from me?
01:11You're not leaving me, Elena. Not even in death.
01:14He rips the glass from my grip, tosses the bloody shard aside.
01:18He turns his back and walks out.
01:22The heavy deadbolts lock from the outside.
01:25I pound my fists against the heavy wooden door until my knuckles bruise.
01:29Help!
01:30I frantically pat my pockets.
01:32Empty.
01:33Desperate, I run toward the massive bay window.
01:36But when I look down at the ground below, my blood runs instantly cold.
01:46You
