STORY STARTER

Your main character wakes up in an unknown place, tied up and gagged. Unfortunately, her kidnapper doesn't know she's highly trained, in control, and unafraid.

Introduce a powerful female lead who handles her misfortune like a badass.

This is not a drill

Step one: check your body.

She is sitting. Her chin is down at her chest. Eyes closed. Her hair, is it around her face? She doesn’t dare to check yet. Seat feels hard but warm, solid, no squeeking, so wood rather than plastic.

Feet together, resting against something. So bound, tape or rope. No plastic ties, hands the same. Do not move your fingers yet, don’t alert them. She is not cold, not too hot. Temperture is consistent with the time of year. So they didn’t take her that far away.


Step two: sounds.


She hears two voices, one behind her and one to the right. And sounds, shuffling, like paper or cards, also to the right. Shuffling to fast for one person, could there be a third?

Check for surroundings. She hears no street traffic, no planes either. Must mean she is somewhere remote, probably. No birds, no wind blowing, a warehouse mabye.


Almost time to open her eyes. First she needs to check the smell. Men sweat, at -least-two- days- without- a- shower- sweat.

Oke, what about herself? No smell of iron, so no blood. Or at least not too much. No feces, and now that she mentions it, she has to pee. Pants feel dry, so she hasn’t wet herself. She can’t have been here for more than a couple of hours. 8 at most, according to her bladder.


Language, she can’t quite place it. Probably a dialect, her money would be on slavic, russian maybe.

Russian would go with the sweaty smell, or maybe she’s being prejudiced now.

Anyway, doesn’t sound like they realize she’s awake.


She opens her eyes ever so slightly, let them get used to the light first. Her instructor would be proud of her.

She wiggles a hand, that’s loose enough to get out of in no time.

Eyes open a little more, her hear is covering her face, good. Slowly she pushes the gag to the front of her mouth. Also, not very tight, it falls down her chin. Amateurs.


Two breaths, than she’s ready.

She jumps up, rotates the chair and looks the man behind her straight in the eyes.

He was NOT expecting that!
