1432 Words
After the slap, I just couldn't cry, my heart was now a rock.
"You are one strong little brat " one of the men said signalled the men to take me. One of the men walked up to me and bang!! I blacked out.
Cricket chirpings and birds whistles, all those noises, where am I? What happened? I just can't figure out how I ended up here. I raise my head up and see a group of men with quite familiar faces talking and laughing loudly. Then it struck me my parents death or will I say murder, sending Easton away and getting captured by these evil men. I pretended to be asleep and tried untying the rope but it might take a little time but I hope none of those men turn around by then.
"Hey sleeping beauty, won't you wake up or should I be the prince to kiss you. I'm sure you will wake up by then "one of the men said walking closer to me. Kissing me with his dirty mouth, gosh that's gross. To avoid being kissed, I have to wake up but not let them know that I'm trying to escape.
" Where is this place? "I ask pretending to sound weak.
" Oh wow, the sleeping beauty is awake. So can you help me out? "He asks smiling dirtily.
" What do you want from me? "I ask.
" Just a little favor "He says with a sly smile.
"What?" I ask.
"Tell me where he is? "He said with a serious tone and then broke into a smile. Hearing what he said made me laugh.
"What is funny?" He asks with a frown on his face.
"Do you know what you sound like? "I ask laughing nearly choking.
"What?" he asked clearly looking annoyed.
"You sound like a fool ohh sorry an i***t " I said laughing harder.
"What the f**k" he cursed throwing a slap across my face.
"What? You think slapping me will shut me up. Well then f**k you " I yell.
" Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! Sleeping innocent beauty has got some nerves "he said smiling.
"What do you want?" I ask rolling my eyes.
"Don't you know by now what I want? "he said with a hint of sacarsm in his voice.
"No I don't?
"Maybe you are having memory loss but pray that is not the issue, anyways I want the boy. Now you can remember what I wanted " he said smiling.
"First of all, I want you to explain what you meant by "pray"? You pray?" I asked so confused and also mocking him.
"Yes I do "He said acting confused.
"Wow!! I didn't know that demons pray" I said with a warm smile.
"Now you think I'm a demon, can you trust what a demon can do and where the hell that useless child is? " he yelled.
"So if I tell you where he is, you will let me go?" I asked.
"Yes " he reassures.
"Unharmed?"I ask.
"Yes" he agrees.
"Okay, come closer "I beckoned him. That fool!! Who sent this fool to kill someone? Is the killer that dumb?.
" How do you want me to trust you when you have your men around" I said raising my brows.
"Everyone!! I need you leave us for a few minutes" he yelled. After they left he came closer.
"Now tell me what you wanted to say " he smiled.
"You suck!!" I curse in his ears.
"s**t!! You daughter of a b***h!! I will...... " he yelled. But I had no option but to laugh.
" What are you gonna do? Huh? Kill me like you killed my parents? "I yell.
"You really got some liver in there" he said smiling cunningly.
"You are still big fool "I said.
"How do you mean?" he asked so confused.
"I let him escape like over 2 hours ago and you are asking me where he is? You are such an i***t!! " I said and he turned around in frustration. What he didn't know was that as he turned around I took the opportunity to get a weapon.
"You..... What the f**k!!! How the hell did you get untied? What?" He stuttered, confusion and shock I could see it over but when he looked at the rod I had in my hand, I saw another feeling "fear".
"No much talking, down to business "I said.
"What.... What do you want to do?" he asks fear written allover him.
"Don't dare spoil the fun " I threatened.
"Okay, before I go, I want you to know that my mum prepared for this day so she let me attend a self defense class and do you know what the first rule was?" I asked.
"No?"he answered.
"Anger your enemy, distract them and then strike " I said and with that I swung the rod to the back of his head.
"You shouldn't have underestimated me even with my cold demeanor and your fear, you decided to stay quiet thinking that I'm just a kid anyways goodbye and I hope not to see you again" After saying that I ran out and went to the neighbors.
END OF FLASHBACK *******************
"Madam, I'm looking for miss Lucia Blackwood, do you know where she is?"
"Are you the taxi driver I booked? " I asked.
"Yes ma'am" he answered.
"Okay, let's go " I say, standing up from the grass and dusting myself. After 25 minutes of the drive, we accidentally almost bumped into someone, a teenager to be precise. Out of fear, he faints before we could reach him.
"Hello, are you ok?" I ask tapping him to see if he's OK. Just then he opens his eyes and affirmates that he's okay.
"Do you mind me taking you home? " I ask with a caring and soothing tone. Just then, he looks me in the eyes and tells me, he doesn't have a home. That struck me with winds of emotions but something struck me more when I saw his eyes. Those blue eyes filled with sorrow and pain, they are so familiar but I can't recall. That is by the way.
"Let me take you to my house then? Is that alright? "I ask.
" Well, I would like to but my brother always says that one should not be a liability on another person because they also have their own problems " he said and began walking away. But I could not let him go..
" What are you saying? You are not a liability to me. I actually need your help so since I can't help you. So take this as a deal" I say but meeting his confused face, I knew I had explain more.
"Okay but what deal is that? "he asked looking confused.
" Let's get into the car then I'll explain it to you, okay? "I say trying to convince him. He nudged finally.
" OK " he confirmed. I explained everything to him clearly. When we reached the house, I led him to the guest room and let him take a shower.
" Hey, wear this okay?"I shout hoping he would hear me. I just gave him one of Easton's clothes. Yes, I had taken them with me where ever I went. Talking about brought up the issue of confusion. The boy's eyes. Just at that moment, he came out of the bathroom. Wow!! He looked better now than a few minutes ago.
"Here, wear these clothes "I said showing him the clothes. But it sparked an unexpected behavior, he looked startled and immediately took the clothes, sniffed it and in a short while he started crying.
"What happened? Why are you crying?" I asked clearly confused.
"Nothing, I'm just missing my brother" he said as he wiped his eyes.
"It's okay by the way what is your name? "I'm Dylan and you?"
"Lucia" I answered.
"You seem so familiar, who the hell are you and why can't I remember? "I thought.
" Okay I'll leave now. I'm going to bed, if you are hungry, you can take food from the kitchen " I said with a hopeful smile.
" Okay " he nodded but looked like he wanted to say something else.
" You want to say something? "I ask.
" Yeah, I just wanted to say thanks alot for taking me in. I know you used the pretext of a deal to persuade me to stay with you " he said.
" Ohh, okay. Goodnight "I waved and left.
