Forever You

CHAPTER FIVE: SAVE HER

**Henry’s POV**

I purposely let her go outside first because I had a surprise waiting for her.

And that surprise? Her favorite pet—a rabbit! She’s been wanting to buy one for so long, but she always said she didn’t have the time. So I went ahead and bought it for her.

I was heading out when I accidentally bumped into a glass on the table. It shattered, and I immediately apologized.

*Weird… why am I feeling nervous all of a sudden?* I whispered to myself.

“Sir, don’t worry, we’ll take care of it,” one of the staff said.

“S-sure, thanks. Here’s the payment for the broken glass. Sorry, I’m just kinda clumsy,” I replied with a sheepish smile.

After that, I quickly left. Kylie was waiting for me outside—I was sure of it.

“Yieee, it’s Mr. Handsome! That’s why I always come here, he makes me feel all giddy!” a girl squealed nearby.

*Tss. Attention seeker much…*

I ignored her and went straight ahead. Someone far more important was waiting.

But the moment I reached the exit, I felt this bad, uneasy feeling. Like something wasn’t right.

*Hmm… where is she? Why isn’t she here yet?*

I looked around, searching, but not even her shadow was there.

*I’ll just call her.*

*Ringing…*

“Hello, Kylie? It’s me, Henry. Where are you?” I asked.

[Ohhh, hello Henry!]

That voice… it wasn’t Kylie’s. It sent chills down my spine.

“What the—?! Who are you? Where’s Kylie? What did you do to her?!” I asked, panicking.

Yeah, maybe I was being too dramatic. Maybe it was her cousin or some relative. But no. Deep inside, I knew this wasn’t family. I knew something bad had happened.

[Bwahahaha! Oh, come on Henry. Relax. One question at a time, okay? Bwahahaha!]

That laugh… it was creepy. And worse, it sounded familiar.

“Whoever you are, where’s Kylie? What do you want?”

[Tsk! You really care so much about that annoying girl, huh? Anyway… your precious princess is right here with us.]

The way he said that last line—it made my blood boil.

“I’ll only believe you if you let me talk to her!”

[Fine. Since you asked…]

[H-hello Henry… d-don’t come here, they’ll just hurt y—]

That was Kylie! Damn it. They really had her!

[Now… do you believe me?]

“If you so much as touch her, I swear something bad will happen to you. I’ll hunt you down no matter where you hide. Don’t hurt my Kylie, or you’ll regret it!”

[Ooooh, I’m sooo scared! Bwahahaha! Find us if you can. Babushhh! Hahaha!]

“Hel—”

Click. The line went dead.

“Damn it!” I cursed, kicking my car out of frustration. “Fudge! Kylie, where are you? Don’t worry, I’ll find you.”

I jumped inside the car, stepped on the gas, and sped away.
