I felt light wet dabs against my forehead as I rolled painfully on a super soft material. With my eyes shut I took a deep inhale as the fragrance of roses wafted up into my nose, swirling down my guts and easing the pain down there a bit.
Well at least I'm still alive.
Timidly propelling my saggy lids open, I shrunk back down again when a bright light hits my face. Damn it's the sunlight. It's morning already and I'm still in bed?
You don't see that everyday huh?
I jerked up quickly, taking in the whole gigantic room in. The huge red velvety closet first caught my eyes. It was spotless and likely not mine. The entire room was triple the size of mine, with a chaise lounge, twin red sette at a corner, soft red hairy rug that cowered beneath my feet. The bed which I slept on was king sized and claded with the softest red material ever made.
I haven't seen this much red in years.
I inspected my bandaged arm. The deep shade of red was implausibly there glaring right at the middle. Wincing slightly, I also detected another wrap around my stomach. Some minor injuries were plastered and it looked like I was some living Egyptian mummy that just escaped from the grave.
Where the heck I'm I?
The red huge curtains were drawn apart, letting in the brilliant sunlight. I lay lazily, being the only odd thing out in a room of red. Wow, the room's occupant must really be a huge fan of this colour, even the walls and TV sette was all red.
It feels peaceful somehow...
The door began opening, snapping me back from inspecting the room any further. I sunk back down instantly when a mass of black hair lunged stubbornly in through the partially open door. A tall boy, maybe about 19 snuck in, pushing his dark stubborn locks backwards. I ceased my breath a bit, wondering what he might do. A tray of something edible was balanced on his fingertips as he gingerly brought it down, muttering lowly, Adele's Hello. My stomach suddenly churned startling him. He edged closer, his pink nose tip twitchy, his eyes a lucid blue. He trailed a fingertip down my temples and just when it edged closer to my lips, I slid my mouth open and bit.
Hard.
Letting out a battle cry, I lunged forward and wrapped my tiny arms around his sleek waist, tackling him onto the bed. I jabbed his back endlessly, pulling at his hair wildly, cursing. He stayed still for a while, perhaps contemplating upon Killing me.
"Demon! Devil!! Kidnapper!!! Child abductor!! Thug!! " I seethed as I sunk my canines at a tender spot in his arched muscular back. He growled and with one light shove I fell unto the bed panting and gasping for breath with my eyes shut. I felt his figure loom over me menacingly.
"Please. Please I beg you, I'm sorry. Please spare me. I'm the only child and I can't satisfy you" I begged pathetically. Funny, how I was the same person cursing him a while ago.
How quick the tables are to turn...
I felt him chuckle lowly, no, menacingly. Perhaps mulling over my cowardly speech. He must think I'm weak now and how quick I was to fall to his mercy.....
"Trust me Minnow. You'll satisfy me way better than any other girl or lady I know of"
Talk about perverted.
I opened my eyes now, daring him to look into my eyes and tell me that. Did I mention just how cute my eyes are..... But instead I cringed at the smiling figure two centimeters above me.
What the...?
I pushed him off roughly.
"David?"I asked peering incredulously at the writhing figure on the floor. He groaned, cursing out profanities. Now let's not be a fat baby.
"Boy.. You shove hard" his sister entered the room now, taking our positions in with surprise. David winced slightly as he got up, pouting at me.
"What just happened?" her bangs were serious.
I shrunk timidly, her dark eyes scrutinizing me. David plopped himself right next to me and drew me down to lie beside him. "As you can see, my dear sister, my little Minnow is awake"
"Great, so what about Alison you left downstairs? She's been growing impatient ever since you suddenly disappeared hours ago. Trust me it hadn't been fun leaving me with her like that. I had to listen to some silly Nicki Minaj's carnival dress for a whole hour!"
David sighed, his fingers trailed down my bare arm, hardening when he reached the bandaged part.
"That too and something about how Camila forgot to scrub Shawn Mendes butthole! ". She flared.
I stifled a laugh, growing uncomfortable with David drawing circles all over a spot close to my shoulder joint." Why don't you just show her out the door Alicia. Trust me, no one wants her here" he said lightly, Increasing his grip each time I tried to squirm out of his reach.
"Ha! Easy for you to Say!! At least you weren't tortured like me. And who the heck is this with you? " She questioned imperious, her eyes burning with curiosity.
"Aden's the one I told you about two days ago. I found him being chased by Rider's gang on my way to the Grange. He was pretty knocked out before I could reach out for him. The poor little thing"
He summarized it all. I shivered now, resenting the cold that crept up my legs.
Isn't this uncompromising?
She digested that and went back to her rant. "That's not the point now, we've got a bitch on the loose. We've both left her down there for so long and I bet she's coming upstairs right this minute"
"Alicia why.... "
"David? Alicia?" a faint voice drifted to us, instinctively coming from the stairway. David jerked up at once, swooping me up like a baby. I squirmed, wrapping both arms around his neck. I was partially naked in nothing but my underwear. In just one swift motion, he jammed the closet door open and set me down at the farthest end among his suits and casual clothing. The dense air smelt of fresh camphor, which made my ear tips tingle.
He rammed it shut.
"David? There you are" a voice I suspected to be Alison boomed into closer now. I stared down at my disfigured body, trailing my fingers down the spots David had touched. It felt warm.
A wrap.
