they had foolishly gotten the bottle of tequila
out. What happened? Her memory was like swiss cheese.
    Carefully
Ava moved her arms to rub her eyes and froze at the sound of tinkling metal.
Running her fingers across her throat, Ava could feel a metal chain fastened
around her neck like a collar. Looking over her head, she followed the length
of chain from her neck to where it was bolted to the headboard of the ornate
four poster bed. What? Her throbbing head refused to process what she
was seeing.
    Wait
a minute. How did she even get into a bed and whose bed was it? Ava had
awakened in a strange room chained to a bed. What!? The pounding of her
heart began to match the throbbing in her head.
    Slowly
her memory started to return. She had been driving home and there was a man in
the road and she hit him with her car! No… wait. She didn’t hit him with her
car. She slid off the road and hit a tree. Then… nothing. How did she get here
and were exactly is here! Now that her battered brain was starting to function
again, she was starting to panic.
    She
carefully sat up in the bed and the room started to spin. Holding her head on
with both hands she gulped back the nausea the movement caused. Ava ran her
hands over the chain trying to find a lock or latch to take the collar off but
couldn’t find anything. Frantically, she began pulling on the chain, trying to
get free but it didn’t budge. Her breaths coming out in short puffs she couldn’t
help the tears that started to glisten in her eyes. Oh my god! What is
happening? Where am I! Should I call for help? What if whoever chained me up
comes instead!
    Suddenly
the door to the room creaked as a dark figure opened it and walked into the
room. Every muscle in her body tightened as she struggle to peer though the
shadows as the man drew closer to the bed. Slowly his angular face was revealed
to her as he moved into the dimly lit room.
    “Your
finally awake I see. I thought you would never wake up.” Salvatore walked over
and sat at the foot of the bed, his dark eyes greedily taking her in.
    Ava’s
damaged head quickly tried to understand what she was seeing but none of this
made sense.  Was he them man that had been in the road? Had he set all of
this up to kidnap her?
    “No.
Wait. Not you. You’re that man from the store. I don’t understand!” Ava moved
further away from him towards the head of the bed pulling her bare legs
underneath the hem of her dress as though the simple act could somehow hide her
from him.
    “What
am I doing here? Let me go this instant! I know some very important and
powerful people and they are going to be looking for me. Unchain me right now!”
Ava tried to sound brave but the quiver in her voice gave her away.
    “Now,
now my dear. Don’t be in such a hurry to leave. You only just got here. We are
going to have so much fun you and I. Besides, I happen to know you have no
family left and very few friends. No one will be looking for you. Really the
most important and powerful person you know is me.” Salvatore laughed at his
own joke, the sound of it made Ava’s skin crawl.
    “Please…
please don’t hurt me. Just let me go. I won’t say anything to anybody. Please
just let me go.” Ava’s hated that she was begging but she didn’t know what else
to do.
    “I’m
afraid I can’t do that love. You see, I actually really am, a very important
and powerful man. The problem is even very powerful men get lonely and bored. I
have been searching for a companion. It’s remarkable really how much you look
like her. You my dear, should feel very honored to have been chosen for this
position.” Ava felt her stomach clench in disgust at the hungry look in his
soulless eyes.
    “As
perfect as you are love, there is just one problem. As a human you just
wouldn’t last very long. As my consort you must be a little… sturdier to
withstand all of my appetites. It would be such a waste really. You see, I like
to play a little rough. You my dear,
