(Back to the first day of the kidnapping)
My eyes blinked and struggled to open, my body felt deathly still and numb.
Roped were tied around me looped on metal hooks on the walls. No knot was evident.
Sitting on the ground and tied down I looked around the plain room.
It was a pristine white and there was a single lamp in the corner of the room.
The door was probably behind me and the ropes probably had imbued steel.
I tugged and confirmed my suspicion.
Humanoid robots came in and knocked me out from behind. I didn't resist because I couldn't, no one can break through steel.
No one will save me anytime soon, might as well do it myself. Yuuta probably hasn't noticed as he would be too catch up with that girl. Dominic seems to not see me as a friend enough to risk his own life.
Now I just need an escape plan.
While light sleeping from the knock out, I felt something cold go into my blood stream.
I blacked out afterwards.
I woke up kneeling on the floor in a different room with ropes around me and in a loop around the room again. These kidnappers did not want to take any chances.
This time the door was in front of me.
It was then creeped open and a middle aged man came out.
"Don't look at me bored like that. And you probably already know what we want.
We want the record book, your pretty little head can go for quite a lot in the black market as well." He said in a sly voice.
Disgusting, I yawned . Been though this too many times to know this.
All kidnappers are the same. Seem threatening, blackmail then take and fail.
It's so obvious and cringe at that.
He took out a pocket knife of unbelievably low quality and walked behind me. My eyes still bored.
He knelt right behind me and held the knife at my neck.
"Tell me where the record book is and you won't die." He said
Why these people are so boring and not creative at all? I don't know.
"You people need to be more original." I said to him.
I kicked him with my leg in the stomach while pulling in my arm. This rope system had a lot of freedom if you knew how it looped.
I slid the pocket knife with a foot so I would stop in front of me then lifted my leg so my hand could grab it.
I started to saw on the rope until the steel inside remained.
Then I started to sharpen the knife on the concrete floor and hastily started cutting the low quality steel.
Guards started to fill the room as I got out of the rope.
The guards were an easy beat but then robots started to fill the room.
They took a lot longer but what I didn't feel when I was fighting was the slow paralysis affect the needle before injected into me.
My movements were slowing down and soon the robots all immobilised me on the floor.
Again I was tied up but in a much higher quality rope.
I was kept conscious this time as they tied me up and a length of rope was on my legs so I could walk but not kick.
My arms were behind my back and multiple ropes kept my movement restricted.
There was more people behind the kidnapping then I thought.
My face turned serious as I followed the robots.
We headed to a room at the end of a corridor and I was pushed in.
This was such a cliche moment, a chair at the edge of a meeting table was turn to face away and legs showed someone was occupying it.
Little light came from the sky and I myself was curious as to who could afford those methods of kidnapping.
"Are you going to reveal the whereabouts of the book? Or must I force you." The voice said.
It was so familiar, at the same time it was different. Nostalgia hit me but my conscious mind didn't know why.
"No one is going to save you, your only friend is out on a date right now and the other. He doesn't even know what you are to him."
I headed a sigh and the pain of betrayal hit me hard.
In my head I knew something like this was going to happen but hearing it out loud is just something different.
"You probably also know that your parents are looking for you because of one sole, selfish reason."
Another pang if betrayal hit hard.
I was still on the ground when the chair turned around. The person was shadowed and wasn't quite visible.
"If your not going to tell I shouldn't keep you here for too long."
He came closer as he spoke to the guard.
"Let him go, send him to the Coltus household."
The person walking closer let out a heavy sigh.
"I see you sometimes soon. My little brother."
My breathes hitch. It was Elijah, he wants the records, but why and why is he working against his own family?
...
I arrived at the Coltus house in the early morning. While kidnapped I still got food so I wasn't very hungry.
I knocked on the back door, tired and deprived of a good sleep.
The butler answered and his eyes widened by a fraction.
"Come in young master." He said
I went in and closed the door behind me. The butler left, probably to go and inform the head butler who would then inform my parents.
As I got to my room my mother saw me.
"You stupid child, how could you get kidnapped for such a long time. Come down and apologise properly to both your father and me." She furiously said.
I nodded my head and followed her down. See me life? My parents get me in trouble for allowing myself to get kidnapped. I sometimes wonder what type of parents they are as well.
I mean, who does that?
I quickly went into my room to check the calendar. Frick, I've been gone for 5 days!
I headed downstairs to see my parents waiting impatiently for my apology.
"I am sorry to both of you for allowing myself to get kidnapped at such a crucial time. I will keep my guard up more and will continue the Coltus line (not) as the heir to this prestigious family." I said.
Like hell I was going to take over this messed up family.
Less drama if I don't directly rebel though.
"That's right, your a stupid child for allowing yourself to get into the hands of enemies." My mother said with a disgusted look.
"In fact to prevent this from happening you will be getting your wish. You won't be going to Asia, but you won't be going to school or anywhere out side the perimeter of this house either. Micheal Malligane Coltus I am putting you on house arrest until the culprit of the kidnapping is found." My father said in a stern voice. This was probably the most words he has ever said to me in one go.
I was furious though, putting ME on house arrest?!
They really wanted their deaths to come sooner.
"If I don't agree with you?"
"Then you won't be going back to school after your house arrest either and will be forced into the position of heir." My father said.
Gritting my teeth, he only gave me one option.
"Fine"
It was too accept.
