She kept to her own promise. She kept her eyes closed. His arms once again embraced her and she just let the feeling of his warmth engulf her. She concentrated on him, on his breath, on his heartbeat, on his smell. Nothing else that was happening around them matter anymore. Even when she could sense that the things around them were changing once again, she simply decided it didn’t matter. What matter was Theo, his arms around her, his smell in her nostrils and her feet standing on solid ground.
Even when he was starting to let go, she didn’t panic this time. She didn’t open her eyes either. He kept a single finger tip on Theo, following his lead and where he was walking. She could hear sounds around her, different smells passing her by her nose. But she concentrated on the ground, the ground that was underneath her feet. And she was managing. Her heartrate remained steady, her breathing stayed calm.
She kept walking, not caring to much about when Theo pulled her away. She somehow knew it was him. But then something stopped her. A voice, a chuckle. For the first time since she had closed her eyes she opened them again. She looked in the direction of the sound she had just heard and suddenly she was faced with the last thing that she had expected. In the distance she could see herself. Those familiar light blue eyes staring back into. The giggle that she had heard was her own..
She was without her clothes, naked and hanging five feet of the ground.. Her body was bound by ropes, ropes that were strung around her body in strange patterns. Her arms were bound behind her back, her stomach pointed towards the ground and her ankles bend towards the sky. There was even a rope that bound her hair into a ponytail, making sure her face was staring straight forward. Her body was slanted just slightly forward, making her face just slightly red and contrasting against the blue of her eyes. She was exposed for the world to see her.. to stare at her. Yet she was smiling.
Hannah wanted to pull herself away from it, but something about it kept her looking. Something about seeing herself in such a position. She didn’t know how to feel. She couldn’t place the feeling. It wasn’t fear.. she knew that much.
Suddenly a figure appeared next to her in the room. A figure that seemed to resemble nobody, just a shape of a human. He walked towards the girl who hung from the ceiling. His lips met hers, kissing gently with a promise of more. Her hands reached up to her exposed chest, cupping her breast and pinching the nipples between her fingers.
It was excitement, she felt excited, aroused. She could feel her heart race starting to go up, but this time it wasn’t from fear. She kept watching the scene, watching what was happening to her. She wanted to step closer, to look at it closer. To see the pleasure form on that face that looked like hers.
Then it happened. Out of nowhere the rope that held her into the ceiling snapped in half. There was a high pitched scream as she fell down to the ground. Five feet down to the ground with no way of protecting herself. She hit the ground with a loud thud, blood spreading out around her on the floor and she never moved again.
Hannah just gasped. She wanted to scream, wanted to panic again. She had just seen herself die.. she had seen herself hanging from the ceiling, naked and bound.. and then fall to her death.
