As I gain consciousness, I heard voices like they're arguing or something. My head hurts like hell, I can't even open my eyes.
"How many times do I have to tell you stop following me. Look at her state right now?!"
"Was it my fault?! She keeps on running, she can't even cooperate even though we told her that we knew her parents and whereabouts!"
It was Caden and Danny arguing. I should fake my sleep for the meantime. I want to know what they're up to and why on earth they want me to come with them.
"I know you're faking your sleep. Get up."
My eyes widen. I'm busted! I said to myself.
I slowly open my eyes, but all I can see is a blurry faces. I look around but still it was so blurry. I blinked 3 times and to my surprised I saw Caden, Eric and Danny looking down on me.
"Now the princess is awake I shall take my leave." Danny said in sarcastic way.
What is his problem?!
"Zia, I'm very sorry for what Danny and Caden did to you." He said with sincerity.
I just nod and look away. I don't want to see those guilty eyes of his. My heart soften when someone do that I can let my guard down!
I look around again since my vision is finally clear. The interior of this room is soothing to the eyes. It was made of wooden and glassy materials, the window is as big as a big tv screen, there are also plants to make the atmosphere fresh and nature friendly.
I like it. No! Wait? What did I just say?! I don't like it here! No way I'm gonna like it here!
"Hey! Where am I?" I asked out of nowhere.
Eric and Caden look at each other then they laugh.
"Hah! Sorry about that. Well, Caden will explain to you so, I will leave you both."
He waved goodbye and I heard the door close. Only I and Caden are left in this room.
I look at him with a question written on my face.
He laughed again while walking towards me. He sat beside me on the bed.
"First, let me clean your wound."
I'm confused. What wound?
I flinched for a bit as he's about to reach my head. His face is so near to my face that I swallowed multiple times. My heart won't stop from beating hard it, I can't even breathe!
"Hey!" I pushed him slightly to make a distance from each other.
"I-I can do it by myself. Thank you for helping anyway."
I wish my face is not as red as a tomato. Geez! What's with this guy!
"Now answer my question. Where am I? Where are we?"
I reached for my wound while waiting for his reply.
He was hesitant at first, they way he looked at me I can say that he was really saying the truth.
"Since your life is in danger, you will temporarily be staying here with our pack. This is our home base, this is located at the highest mountain no one can come here that easily."
Pack? What does he mean by pack?
"By danger, what does it mean? Will I die due to sickness? Someone will kill me?"
"Someone, no not just someone. You're father."
Shocked flashed in my face.
"W-what do you mean my f-father? You're not making any sense at all."
He sighed. He face me, look into my eyes with his serious black eyes.
"You're father will kill you. I don't know exactly when or where but I can sense that he will kill you anytime soon."
I'm still confused but I want to ask more questions.
"Tell me more. Why would a father kill his own flesh? His daughter to be exact."
He didn't answer my question immediately. Is that even a hard question?
"I don't know what's his real motive, but I can only think of one main reason why he have to do such length as killing his own blood and flesh."
For the first time, since he was close to me, I saw sadness in his eyes but it suddenly fades away. He changed his emotion that fast.
"And what was this reason you're talking about?"
"Because, you and I are both fated for each other."
My jaw dropped literally as he said those words. Suddenly I made a sarcastic laugh which pisses him off.
Oh my gosh Caden! If you saw your pissed face I bet you will gey embarrassed. Of course I won't tell you. Sweet Revenge yes!
"Fated? Who? You and I?"
He look at me with seriousness on his face then nod slowly.
"Aren't you being a clown just right now? Stop fooling around. I told you, I'm not that easy. PISSED. OFF!"
I stood up on the bed and walk towards the door, but before leaving I face him he looked at me Intently.
"You don't need to worry about me. I can handle myself. So just mind your business."
I reached for the knob, but it won't open. I aggressively face him. He just shrugged and smirk.
I gave him my death glare but he just made an "O" using his mouth! Damn bastard!
He stood up and walks towards me. Walking. Still walking. And still walking until there's no space between us. His forehead touches mine, his nose to my nose but thankfully there's even an inch distance between our lips.
I can't breathe properly goddammit! What does he think he's doing?!
He lean his body towards mine so I had to step back but I can't since there's a door behind me! And it's LOCKED FROM THE OUTSIDE!!!
"W-what do you you're doing?!"
He smiled at me while rubbing his nose to mine. I forcely close my eyes I can't take those playful eyes!
I heard him chuckled.
"Evertime that only inches are the only distance between us you keep on stammering. Are you affected by my presence?"
The nerve! I open my eyes, I wish I didn't. He's still close to me!! This is torture! I want to run!!
Oh! A brilliant idea came to my mind. I open my eyes slowly, i bit my lower lips, reached his broad shoulder while giving him a seductive smile.
I saw they way he change his emotion again. I laugh all to myself. You fell into my trap you pervert bastard! I said to myself.
I keep seducing him and when I saw an opening, I firmly grabbed both of his shoulders, and in a split second I kicked his balls! He kneeled down in pain.
This is my last chance. I need to get away from him and this place!
I went to the window only to find out there's someone downstairs busy swiping her phone. Since the door is locked and Caden is there blocking the way even though he's in pain I can't used the door.
I look down and estimate how high this is if I will jump out of the window. Luckily it wasn't that high and the ground is full of grass. This is a safe escape. I'm afraid of heights actually but..
For Pete's sake this is the only option I have!
I made a step backwards, breathe heavily as I put my strength on my foot I shorten the distance between me and the window. I throw myself to break the glasses of the window and fell down on the grassy ground.
"Ouch! That's fucking hurt!"
"You okay?"
A girl ia guarding this ground. I think I can handle her.
"I'm fine don't trouble yourself. I need to go."
"Not so fast Zia." She hold shoulder and stop me from running away.
Ugh!!! What's with these people!!
I face her, lean towards her and gave her a hard headbutt.
"Ouch! What the hel---"
I didn't let her finish her sentence. You look cool and I like it but sorry I better go.
"Sorry I don't want to hurt you, but you gave me no choice. I badly need to leave right now so stop stopping me!"
She's still in pain so I run as fast as I could I ended up in the forest. It's quite dark and too quiet.
This place is scary. I want to get out of here fast!
*Rustle*
Is someone there? Oh come on! I don't want this! I'm too scared as it is! Dammit! Why did I ran into the forest?!
I suddenly felt a cold wind pass through my whole body. I still heard those rustling sound, I think someone is following me. I began to walk faster and faster and get panicked as I heard those rustling sound again but now it's clear that it's following me!
I began to run while checking at the back if suddenly someone will pop up behind my back.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
I think I bump into somthing hard that I fell down.
"Ouch my head! Damn!"
"Are you alright?"
I was shocked to hear that familiar voice. I slowly look up to the owner of that voice and when our eyes met all I could do is to cover my mouth.
