Cold.
Quiet.
Dark.
Empty.
Those words would be perfect to describe the place I could feel myself within. My consciousness was still not coming back to but I could feel my surroundings sowhat due to my heightened senses. Though they were all just shouting at to turn my feet and run as fast as I can as far away I can from this place. Yet, my body was too tired to follow my instincts at the mont.
My eyes slowly started opening and the surrounding I could only sense before started to co into my vision. My body felt it was being put on sothing really cold, not sothing I couldn’t handle but it was still an unpleasant feeling. My head was hurting like crazy and I was still monts away from having my thoughts to be recollected.
"Well soone seems to have woken up," I heard a voice in the distance I looked in the direction it was coming from. Though dark, the silhouette of the person walking towards carelessly looked like that of a girl. My eyes quickly got used to my surroundings and I could completely see in the dark now.
The girl right before I seed…familiar. She had long and silky black hair along with navy blue eyes. She was wearing an oversized black t-shirt along with grey sweatpants. From the look of it, she was walking towards while skipping and humming sothing happily.
Finally, when she got close enough, my eyes widened as I could finally figure out where I had seen her before. It was not long ago that I had seen her, her face matched exactly with the person that ca to our apartnt tonight impersonating Kazu-kun’s sister. Does that an…
"So this is the girl he chose, huh? Honestly speaking, I am quite impressed. I had only seen you from afar and in pictures in the past couple of days but up close, you’re cute. I approve you," she said getting closer to mine, and a big bar appeared right in front of her face.
No, it didn’t appear. It had been there from the beginning. Wait, don’t tell I’m in a cage!
My eyes quickly scanned the thing I was put in and without a doubt, it was a cage. The tal was getting cold because of the surroundings at the night. I looked back at the girl and she just smiled at while waving her hand as if saying hello to an animal.
Those eyes, that hair, those facial features…
There was no doubt this was Kazu-kun’s sister. Real one this ti. I scanned her up and down and let out a sigh of relief. She was strong, yes, I could sense that but nothing that I couldn’t have handled. She could easily make a noble run of their money but outsi-
That ans…
"You were the one Akira was talking about…" I muttered.
"I don’t know what you are saying. Who is Akira?" she asked .
"Now, now Yuna. Asking questions of our guests is quite rude. You should be well-behaved right now. Rember what I told you, right?" a voice ca from behind the girl and I could instantly recognize this voice.
"DOMINIC!" I scread at the top of my lungs and leaped in his direction. The girl stepped back from the cage and I grabbed the bar to rip it open. "ARGH!!!"
I jumped back instinctively into the cage but my back hit the bars behind . "AAARGH!!" The sa burning sensation hit on the back and I jumped forward stopping just a milliter away from the bars right before .
"Silver bars with a cage having its roof and floor made of the strongest of the tals that can withstand any impact you send its way. Quite the perfect fit to lock in soone like you, don’t you think?" Dominic said walking up to the cage. He leaned forward and stared right into my eyes.
Ugh, this feeling. There it was again. That helpless feeling I get looking right into his bright red eyes sucking all and any hope to survive against him out of . My feet started shaking but I sohow held my ground.
"Yuna," he called the girl and she looked at him.
"Yes, father?" she asked.
"The bait has already been set and I believe Shiba Kazuki has even taken it. You know what to do next," he said and she nodded. The next mont, she started walking away and disappeared into the darkness.
I could do nothing at the mont and just stand there in complete shock at what happened. I wanted to move or do sothing but even I knew I couldn’t do anything. That’s how helpless I was at that mont. I was just a little animal in a cage to Dominic and I will have to do whatever he wants when he wants. I could easily get that impression.
"Why are you doing this…" I muttered in desperation with a tear falling down my eye.
"Yes, Yes! This! This is exactly what I wanted!" Dominic shouted at the top of his lungs. Knowing how usual deanor, the fact he was shouting was so out of character for him. He moved closer to the cage almost touching it. "That look on your face that your face. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. I have seen so many people break right before my eyes but no one had a more amazing expression like you my dear Ai. Aah, I wish I could stop this mont forever and keep it in a glass bottle to admire anyti I wanted. Magnificent. Absolutely magnificent!"
With each word he said like a madman, I stepped back trying to get away from him. He was not just a heartless bastard but also a sadistic asshole. It disgusts , every single thing about this man disgusts . So, out of pure instinct, I spat at his face.
The mont my spit hit his face, he quiet down. His eyes started growing duller and at that mont, I felt I did sothing really long. Sothing I would really regret.
"As much as I love the expression of fear on your face," he said rubbing his face with a handkerchief. "Who gave you permission to act in such a vulgar sense? Do you not know how you should be respecting your elder."
"Respect? If I had any respect for your sorry ass, I would rather prefer being put in a room filled with cockroaches and centipedes while I just lay there without being able to do anything. That would be h- "
I felt a sharp pain in my throat and my mouth filled with blood. I looked at Dominic and he had a silver blade piercing right through my neck. It was burning. Every part of it made contact with wanted to jump and get away. I wanted to shout out in pain but my larynx was destroyed by the man.
I desperately started kicking and punching the air before grabbing the blade to get it out of my neck. Ugh, even though it was hurting like crazy this was nothing compared to what I was feeling at my neck.
"Such a foul mouth for you has for an amazing face and figure. you should really know when to shut that little mouth of yours or I will do it myself," he said and twisted the blade making the pain multiply even more and I could no longer even hold the blade.
It hurts.
It hurts so much.
No, I cannot bear this much pain.
Make it stop.
Please!!
I beg you.
Save !!
He pulled out the blade from my neck and I fell down on my knee with blood falling everywhere from my neck and my mouth. I held it in pain and was rolling while suffering from the pain. I didn’t understand what was going on anymore. I looked at Dominic and he looked at with a sadistic look in his eyes. What is this man planning to do with ?
"Yes, you are much prettier when you are quiet and in pain. I like this a lot," he said and cut open the cage. Getting closer, he held my face from my cheeks and wiped the blood off my face. "You need to understand my dear Ai. You have to be very careful how you talk to . As kind as I am, I do not tolerate any disrespect. Don’t forget whether you live or die is in my hands right now. I have ti to find another vessel so don’t think you are the only one I would be needing to get the lord of the night back."
I just lay there looking in the direction the man wanted to look and my body stopped moving at my command. My mind was screaming at to run and get away from this man but my body could no longer listen to anything my mind was telling . I was just paralyzed at that mont.
"And in not long, Shiba Kazuki will be led to right this place in the search for you hoping his poor little lover would be safe and unscathed," he said mockingly.
Kazuki…kun…
My mouth muttered that na but no voice ca out. Kazu-kun…Kazu-kun…Kazu-kun…
Kazu-kun…
KAZU-KUN!!
Did he just say…no, he is luring him in here? This man wants to kill Kazu-kun since the beginning. No, he should not co here, no matter what. What do I do? What do I do? Think fast, think fast, think fast. THINK SOTHING!!
My hand opened on the ground and I felt a warm liquid on it. The next mont, with the last ounce of strength I had, I threw it into the man’s eyes but he simply dodged it.
"Still got so fighting spirit in you huh," he said and picking up by my neck and throwing against the wall. He started walking towards and even though I was commanding my legs to move, I couldn’t do anything at all.
"No…" a little voice escaped my mouth as my larynx healed. "Get…away…no…don’t co any closer…"
"Not co any close you say?" he said not stopping to walk. "Well, I’ll co close, as close as I would like, and tonight, Tsubaki Ai. I will break you. The last string of sanity you are holding onto will be broken tonight and you’ll see do that right before your eyes."
He said and raised his hands as if announcing sothing. "Witness tonight’s show with your own two eyes as I show you, just what I am capable of."
