*Chapter two*
Davina's Point of view.
It's been a crappy long day. I slid a jacket on remembering how my day went from the violent buzzing of the alarm clock to the attack made by those lunatics, I cursed at the loan sharks then a sweet feeling hit me as I stopped on my track, 'Those gaze... at least something good came out of this rugged day.' I continued walking as my skin was still affected by his heavy gaze he threw from across his table in the cafe,sweet yet it gave me an uncomfortable chill down my spine.
I moved a little faster as a lingering shadow lurked behind me,my heart begun pounding heavily against my chest.
'could they have found me?' I whispered silently under my breath, taking a turn, moving as fast as my legs could go. I watched as they moved past me,they looked familiar but I was too worried to care.
'The last thing I need was more fucking complications in my life.' I took another exit from where I hid,going in opposite direction when I froze. They were right in front of me,my stalkers before I could touch my wrist to where my bracelet hung loosely I was zapped, falling to the floor when I was caught by one of them,the only thing that swallowed my eyes was a blurry vision of my abductors.
'1-2-3,1-2-3,1-2-3' Slowly I jerked my eyes opened.Still feeling somewhat dizzy from the zapping, I managed to get the aching pieces of my mind together as I pulled myself up.
My eyes widened when I saw where I found myself at. A room, I looked around and finally realized I was on a bed, immediately my senses returned to normal. It was a well structured room,massive to be exact with a soft perfume that lit up around the room allowing just a glint of sun ray. I hurried to the door,trying to get it opened but it was locked. 'Stupid door' I looked around the room for something, anything that could be used as a weapon. Then the echoes from the hallway became closer as I reached down to my wrist and pulled out my bracelet, something I should have done years ago. I wasn't going to spun up and attack,at least not yet.My kidnappers hasn't exactly done anything. Looking at my clothing to my body,I let out a relieved sigh.
I placed a hand on the door knob and said silently chanting a few words. Then the door twitched open.
I haven't practiced for years now but again I wasn't rusty. I walked towards where the violent voices came from.
"Seriously, a human." A voice hissed in disgust as I moved into the room where three figures stood in shock upon seeing me. I recognized immediately the one in the middle tailing him to the cafe gazer.
"Luna, you are supposed to be in your room" I hear one say, moving closer to me as if to take me away before I will be eaten by the devouring eyes of the middle guy. Ignoring his words,my eyes held his stare.
I could swear I saw his eyes change from a streaking yellow to emerald green then to an Amber which also held mine. Something felt strange,I couldn't describe it but when I decided to say something, only one word came out.
'Dreamy. Seriously!' I spanked myself subconsciously.
"Where am I ?" I asked still looking straight at him. "And more importantly why did you hoodlums kidnap me?"
"Well-" the other begin to clear out his throat after seconds of silence." I'm Mitch,and this is Carter..." straining his head sideways,somewhat asking the other fellow for help. "We are sorry for the little discomfort we put you through while coming here but believe us we don't mean harm"
"Little discomfort,I got fucking zapped" My head hurts as hell.I hear a light chuckle coming from him. Irritating. Is he laughing at me?. "And what?, Is he usually dumb or he just like staring till he literally burn holes to a face" My head tilted a little, and my bitchy hat was on.
A low growl erupted in the room. "That's enough,I've had it with that bratty attitude of yours. You are in my house and need I say I demand respect.
"What kind of criminal deserve respect after kidnapping and need I say... "I said using the same damn tone he used on me. " You are quite a spoilt pompous prude." And with that I found myself being flung to the wall by this maniac, gasping oddly for air as he was being dragged away from me.
"Alpha,relax" Mitch said low, dragging him out the door as Carter helped me to sit properly on a chair. "Lunatic" I managed to say loudly enough so he can hear me.
After what seemed like forever he came back into the room with his best attitude and a relaxed nerve.
"Let's start all over" settling in the chair opposite to mine "My name is Cameron Donnelly. This is Mitch and Carter as you already know and you are in my house" That's all. Seriously, this guy is really something. I try introducing but was cut off, abruptly. "I know who you are Miss Pierce. Davina Pierce,lives at a condo beside Avenue park,studied Event management,works morning and afternoon at Haven's cafe and 22."
'What the hell' My inner thought yelled. How does he know so much,do I owe him or something. I looked intently at him for some facial recognition. Nothing, even if I did owe him I wouldn't know.
"Looks like someone did some research. Only you are missing the part what the hell am l doing here?" My turn to speak.
Ignoring my question he continued.
"I see Miss Pierce that you are rather fond of borrowing, a hobby you are quite accustomed to" An annoying smirk grew across his lips. "You took more shifts to pay off your debts but you and I know that not happening seeing how many people you owe."
"Okay. Carmelion-" I was cut off.
"It's Cameron." He snapped back.
"Not that I care" I say. "How does my personal life and hobby seem to interest you?"
"I can pay off your debts to the last penny" Again,ignoring my question but I got more interested when he mentioned the paying part.
"Elaborate"
"See,every dime you owe I'll repay it for you but on one condition" Seriously, what now does he want to say. " You work for me"
He wants me to work for him. "Wow...isn't it amazing how you kidnap someone just so you can offer a job proposal" I say as he threw the two standing an angry look. "So what, you want me in on your gang of kidnappers or your junky buddie or some-"
He butts in. "No, I want you to work here at the house, as an event planner. This year,we will be organizing several events that's why. And you'll be living here as well."
I'll be damned to say NO. Is he being for real. Just to work here as an event planner and I'm free. I begun to imagine life without those loan sharks. It will be great. "For how long?" I looked at him caring to be interested in the time period when after the debts has been paid and I'm bored as hell in here, I can leave without them having the power to stop me or even locate me.
"For a while" He looked at Carter and Mitch who let out a disapproving look. "Just a while-" I cut at his words.
"Seriously, you have to be more specific. I need to know for how long?"
"Miss Pierce, the debt you owe isn't exactly one that can be worked off easily" He drew in a breath. "If you agree to this,here is the contract" I huffed as he dashed a handful of papers on the table.
"Why me? And what's the special reason you want me to stay, cause it pretty clear there's more to your offer"
"All you need to know is you need me more than I need you" He shot back his irritating look which for the record. Gosh,if I didn't need this so bad I would have given him a taste of his own medicine. My imagination begin to wonder far to the look on his face when I go back on my words and flee after my debt has been paid. My inner thought gave out the most devious laugh it could conjure. I took the pen which he held out,drawing the paper closer as I flipped to where my signature was needed.
"You are not going through it?" He asked.
"No need" I continued, giving the paper a stroke with the pen. And I'm done.
"Then I guess it a deal" He said as I nodded in agreement,turning to see the two standing beaming with joy that could literary explode the whole place."I'll send a copy to you next morning" He brought out his hands which I took as a sign of agreement when tingles ran down my hand sending waves of sparks to my entire body.
He jerked back,shooting my looks with an unreadable expression...
Perhaps, did he feel it to?
