Was this really happening? No, certainly not. Someone must have been pranking her. Her friends knew her classes, her schedules, the paths she took; she never changed them. So... They could have been playing some sort of cruel joke... Right? She tried to convince herself, but every mile driven further was another stone thrown at that dream. When her campus was nothing more than a fever dream, she started to scream and yell and holler and do absolutely everything her father had taught. None of it worked. Before she could protest, her mouth had be taped over twice, and she could do nothing but cry. Soon enough the cloth around her eyes had been dampened with tears.
Suddenly, it all stopped. She was dragged out of the car and placed... Somewhere. She heard her captors talking to some other person, a girl this time. It seemed like she wasn't planning on killing her, which was her main fear. Maybe if she was careful and concise, she could persuade her-
She couldn't finish her thought before the blindfold was (finally) removed. Mina was shocked when she felt the tape being removed with grace rather than force. It showed on her face clear as day, but she got a hold of herself pretty soon, replacing it with a horribl(y)e bad scowl.
"A-Ares? I've never heard of an Ares. And yes, you absolutely must explain what on earth you're doing! I-I have so much homework, and Daddy wants me home by five... Y-You must have the wrong girl," She carelessly concluded. "A-And how do you know my name?! Y-You better... Better let me go!" Her threat was nothing more than an annoying squeak.
((hope this works! c:
"Don't call me b-babe!"
Of course, this was the first thing she addressed. How could she ignore that? Only dirty fuckboys ever called her 'babe' before, and they were the grossest things Minny had ever seen. Not only were they disgusting, they were violent, popular jocks who picked on those weaker than them. Ares had to be one of them- in one way or another, at least. "Daddy can't quit his job! It's, like, his whole life! He'd never-"
She let out a soft whimper as she was pulled up. At first, she shrank away from the shark-toothed woman, before narrowing her eyes at the next question. Did she listen to the explanation? Did she weigh the pros and cons of her actions? Hell no. "Of course I'll run! I'll run super far, and I'll get home and tell Daddy what you did, and I'll- I'll sick my dog on you! Then you'll be sorry!"
Making every threatening sound in the book, she started to squirm and thrash in the seat, as if to prove her previous statement.
Minny bit down harshly on her chapped lips as the car door was shut, quivering as Ares began to drive. She ignored her next couple of statements, save for a little mumble of discontent. Her dog could easily beat this vile woman to a pulp! She'd bet her life on it and she probably would be, too.
As the car came to a sudden stop, her stomach churned. What was going to happen to her? This location was so abandoned, and no one was here, and if Ares wanted to kill her no one would even hear it! The two men walking towards the vehicle wasn't a relief, either. She'd rather Ares than those big brutes. Thankfully, it would seem Ares is what she would get.
"They're just scared of me,"
She fake-bragged proudly, fake-smirking to match. Ares could take anything she wanted away from her- except her dignity. Fighting back was her only way to solidify that fact to herself.
"Wait, you have a dog? What breed is it? What's its name? Oh my god I bet he's a really, really good boy!"
Dignity was suddenly the last thing on her mind as she heard of her captor's animal. Who thought an evil lady like her could even think of owning a dog? Dogs were for the pure! The good! The law-abiding! And apparently Ares. She spent the entire ride asking meaningless questions about the pet, and also telling Ares everything she absolutely didn't want to know about her own pooch.
As she was driven into the yard, her eyes widened as she saw the canine. Wow, he was... Scary. but also really cute. It was bittersweet, though- she figured that dog had to be mean as sin if Ares was his master. He definitely wouldn't let her pet him. Which stunk, considering how soft his fur looked.
... Wait, she shouldn't be thinking about any of this. She was still being kidnapped. Oops.
"The easy or..."
This time, she really put effort into her next answer. It seemed the gravity of the situation finally hit her; she was being kidnapped by the biggest, scariest drug lord in the entire city. A drug lord who, with just a flick of the wrist, could have her tortured or even worse- killed. Would running work? She mused the thought in her head, playing out various scenerios as quickly as she could. Each one ended just as terrible as the last. In some, she was mauled to death by Joey, others shot...
"... Fine. I... I won't run."
Her face heated up with embarrassment as she said those words. God, this was mortifying. Minny wanted nothing more than to scream at this bitch, tell her how bad of a person she was, and that she'd never stop running... But she couldn't. She knew she'd die if she tried.
"Daddy's gonna come get me really soon, though. Then he'll arrest you and put you away for life!"
Ah, she could finally feel her wrists again. Now that her hands were free, she reached over to Joey, holding her hand in place somewhat near his face. If he wanted to get her scent first, she'd be more than happy to let him. He really did seem like he was a good dog, something that helped to put Minny's mind at a slight ease. After all, if you can raise a good dog, you can't be all bad.
"You said he was a German Shepherd mix, right? My dog's one too! Well, just a purebreed. Hehe, I bet she'd like Joey."
It would seem she had forgotten about the threat she had just made, now infatuated by Ares' dog.
"Oh! Poor puppy... He's such a good boy! I'm glad you found him."
She smiled, and as if forgetting the situation she was in, happily pet the dog without a care in the world. Minny listened to her every word with an extreme focus. She knew how often she forgot things, but tried extra hard to remember anything she could- anything to help her father find her location.
"Animal cruelty is so super wrong... I don't get how people do it! Wait- you're against stuff like that, too? I thought you, like... Liked bad stuff."
Minny had only heard bad things about people like Ares. They killed people, and kidnapped girls, and did so much awful stuff... It really was hard for her to believe Ares had a good side, even if it was small. Maybe she should pay more attention to her. If she could find her weak points, she could tell her dad, who could exploit them. Minny would try to do something herself, but... She wasn't smart enough to.
"Daddy's gotta come get you. Because... Because the good guys always win."
The phrase didn't sound as triumphant as Minny had hoped. She let Joey lick her face all she want, continuing to scratch everywhere her amber finger-nails could reach. Until, that is, a terrifying thought came into her head.
"If Daddy comes, and he doesn't give in, and by some miracle you defeat him... A-are you going to... You know, k-kill him..?"
“Oh,”
Was all Minny could really say. She almost, almost felt a little bad that she had assumed such a thing of her. Then, she remembered this woman was holding her hostage so she could force her dad out of a job, and her heart hardened once more. Ares must have been lying. That’s what bad people did after all. Lie, and cheat, and kill. She wouldn’t let her guard down.
“You’ll just give up? I don’t believe you. You went as far as kidnapping to try and cheat Daddy out of a job so he wouldn’t catch you.”
Her eyes narrowed as Ares winked at her. How dare she wink at her like she was some object? Why, when she got the chance, she swore she would-
“O-Outside? Oh, b-but it’s really cold out there… And I’m afraid of the dark!”
She whined, shaking her head a couple times at the threat. The fight left her body for a moment at the mere thought of being locked outside, even for one night. That was cruel! What if she froze to death, or got eaten by wolves? Or attacked by some crazy serial killer?! Then, oh then she’d be sorry. She'd lose her precious bait, and then her dad wouldn't have to come save her.
Maybe she’d even run away during the night! Yeah, yeah.. She could totally do that! If that bitch seriously thought she could treat her like a dog, then she’d run just as fast as one, and fight just as hard as one!
Minny couldn't help but shut her mouth at that threat. Even she knew that getting herself killed wasn't the best idea. No, she should be trying to stay alive so when Daddy finally came to rescue her, there would be something to rescue. Plus.. Death wasn't exactly the best outcome of this situation. In class, she had read thousands of books of kidnapping situations that had been much worse. Men and women were taken and tortured, our killed outright, or kept in horrible conditions for years! But her? She was nice and warm, sitting on the couch of the scariest drug lord known to this city.
As she heard noise from the kitchen, she entertained the thought of sneaking out. Sure, there was some sort of lock on the gates, and maybe she wasn't quite strong enough to climb it, and just possibly was there a big dog who could tear her limbs apart with a single bite-
Okay. Running was definitely a bad idea.
"Uh... I know you said you'd lock me outside if I kept talking, but do you think I could have a glass of water? Being kidnapped really makes you thirsty, you know? Well, I guess you really wouldn't know, but-"
She figured she should stop talking before she made matters worse for herself.
"Thank you,"
She took the glass with a small mumble of thanks, immediately guzzling half the container. Minny couldn't really be sure how much water she'd be allowed, so she saved the last half for an emergency, should there ever be one.
Her entire body tensed up as she felt the other woman's arm around her. This was it, she thought. She had finally made Ares mad enough to kill. Surely, the arm would snake its way to her neck, forcing her delicate head under her elbow in just the right way to prevent oxygen from filling her needy lungs- But it didn't. It just stayed there, resting peacefully on her shoulder, as if it had the right to be there. Alarmed and confused, she raised her head to look at Ares, scanning her face for any sort of answers. All she got was another question.
"Maybe."
Came the passive reply as she turned her gaze to Joey, gently patting his head as a way of distracting herself from how weak her words were.
"Aren't all cats?"
She asked, pouting as she saw the cat glare at her. That mean, nasty creature! He had to be as mean as Ares, she'd bet. But Trigger could't tie her up and leave her for dead. So, she decided that Trigger wasn't so bad, even if he was a stupid cat.
"My room..?"
Now, her mind was not filled with the internal debate on whether Trigger was a bad cat. Rather, all she could think of was what horror was about to grace her eyes. Minny had't even thought of where she'd have the pleasure of sleeping. Was it going to be some gross, bug-infested, dark basement? Was she going to be bound in shackles? Or forced into some barbaric torture?
"I... Guess so. Can Joey come with us..?"
Her eyes went back to the dog, hands continuously scratching his soft fur. The English major felt oddly safe with the big guard dog around, even though she knew that if so ordered, he would kill her without mercy. Still, she'd rather meet his gave than Ares'.
