The decision
Hello,
found this in my drive, had almost forgot about it. It’s very fitting to my emotions. Also it was fun writting, plus there is at least two part written. Just have to check them out before I’ll do anything else. Enjoy. Civilian knew they had gone too far again, at this point they didn’t know where they had gone. Losing the track of where they were and had run was caused by their restlessness. Sometimes it seemed like it was the only thing helping.
Normally in this situation, they used to call one of their family member or a buddy of theirs, who in the end had to come and get them. But sometimes, they found a cool place… Which made them explore the abandoned building or the ruins of something very old.
Civilian took a look around, seeing an old boarded-up building, it was a fence around. It was a lot of containers just standing around, even a sign saying ‘danger’. Everything seemed to be abandoned, except for the sign which looked pretty new.
Climbing over the fence and walking around, knocking one or two containers. The echo suggested it was empty, which Civilian didn’t see a problem with. It could even be logical if a company had closed or just abandoned the place. They picked up their phone from their pocket, turning around to look at the boarded-up windows and even a camera.
“Why is there a new camera at an abandoned building?” Civilian clicked their way to their list of contacts in their phone, as they hurried back to the fence looking for their friend’s number.
In a matter of seconds, they were on the ground on their stomach, with a boot on their back.
Something was pushed to their back, “put your hands where I can see them and get up.” Someone harshly grumbled to them, they weren’t in any situation to refuse or fight. Not when there could be a gun aimed at them. “Don’t try anything, I won’t reward any kind of heroism.”
Civilian slowly made it up to their feet, put their hands behind their head. Swallowed hard, knew that they could fight fairly good, but against a gun… No way.
“Who are you and what business do you have to sneak around here?” This person kicked them to their knees, holding the gun to their head.
“I… I’m just curious, that’s all.” Civilian said as calm as they could answer.
The gun pushed even harder to the back of their head, “I asked for your god damn name!”
Civilians eyes widened, knew it wasn’t wise of them to give out their identity. “Fake name…” Civilian took a deep breath, just as they had trained to before applying for a job at home. “My name is fake name.”
This person sighed, “if you tell me you’re a god damn Hero. I hate heroes.”
Civilain opened their mouth to reassure them they weren’t, but the thought of being a hero did sound appealing. “Actually…” They had stumbled in here by curiosity, something they knew could be a risk to their safety. Training for years and years should pay off. And finally, stop spying for jobs they weren’t gonna get anyway.
Civilian decided to smirk, slowly turn, and then swiftly get out of the way before the shot even could hurt them. They jumped at the person wrestling them down to the floor, but their iron grip hurt them. This person was strong, and not only comfortable with weapons. “Is this how you want it huh…?”
“You shouldn’t have given me the opportunity or the idea.” Civilian whispered with a thrill that rarely filled them.
This person smirked, “as you wish.” Civilian could feel them relax in and it threw them off. A kick to their gut hit and they groaned, allowing their kidnapper to get up pushing Civilian to their stomach again. “Better?”
Civilian gasped and just glared at them. They laughed and picked up each of their arms, holding them in an iron grip way too high. The pressure was too much, and got even tenser, as the pressure got even worse. Soon enough they arm were cuffed behind their arms and legs secured.
“Walk.” They demanded, pulling them up and pushing them forward. The hallway was long and at the end of it was a big room for storage, but first, they turned left.
“What is this place?”
Civilian got a slap to their head as an answer and their kidnapper snarled, “none of your damn business.” In a swift movement, the kidnapper had a grip of their arms. Shuffled a thick cloth bag over their head. Keeping them from seeing anything further and even walk properly. Civilian felt like the duffel bag they had to the gym.
The small steps Civilian was forced to take and the pain that spread fast mainly from their arms. It all was humiliating and unexpected.
“What’s this about, Sidekick?” Someone asked, equally harsh as Sidekick.
Civilian fell to their knees, grunting loud on the cold floor. “It’s a god damned rocky!” The bag was pulled off and there were people around them, making them feel so very small. “Let’s see who you tried to call, shall we?”
Civilian tensed and it was like time and space stopped in the room. “I didn’t try to call anyone, I swear.” The one, they knew as Villain came closer to them. Civilian were happy they didn’t have an id or anywhere where their name was clear. “I only wanted to find my way home…”
Villain cupped their face and analyzed their clothes. Their eyes and their visible muscles from their slim clothes. “A rocky, huh?” Villain doubted that, strongly. “I would rather say a curious bastard, who can’t read a sign.”
Sidekick walked around Civilian like a guard dog, always on guard. “They certainly can fight like a hero… The spirit is there as well.”
Villain’s eyes traveled from someone who had to be a guard, to sidekick, and then to Civilian. Who desperately tried to hide how nervous they were. “I don’t believe for a second that you’re a hero, but I give you a second chance. Are you a hero or not?”
Civilian knew they should deny it, they weren’t a hero. How did you become a hero anyway? “As soon as I am free I will drag you to where you belong myself!” Civilain dared challenge Villain, who smirked.
“Oh… You’re truly are a rocky, by the look on your face you know who I am.” Villain purred and took an agonizing grip around Civilian’s throat, “just because you just made your choice, I’ll give you the welcome every hero gets here. And you’ll soon see what I am capable of.”
Civilian didn’t get any room to breathe and their limps twitch to lack of air.
“Guards see to it that they get it nice and comfortable stay, sidekick why don’t you make sure they don’t make any more mistakes, hmm?” Villain ordered and let Civilian fall to the ground and hiss in pain. Taking gulps of precious air.
“Sure…” Sidekick gestured to a few guards that it was time to go, Civilian was dragged out of the room. Only to see a smug smile on Villain’s face before the door shut.
