"Baby girl?"
My breath gets heavier as my body starts to shiver...what should I do now?
"Y/N...?"
I quickly open my eyes at the familiar voice and look up to where the voice just echoed from, the dark alley was now slowly revealing a tall man, everything was still unclear but just as the guy stopped approaching me, I felt a sudden stroke of happiness as I toke a sigh in relief...
"Mark!"
I shout his name after struggling to free my mouth to which makes the guy behind letting go of me and back off.
I look at Mark again, feeling relieved that he was still there but suddenly felt uncomfortable as Marks expression became dark, he looked so cold and guilty for some reason, and there were stains of blood all around the white shirt he was wearing; he had the same clothes from the club yet something about him was different.
"Mark? You ok?"
I asked, hoping that the blood wasn't his, hoping that this was all a prank, even though I have no idea why he will do that.
"What are you doing here Y/N?"
"I...I ran away, I have nowhere to go!"
I said almost whispering the last few words but he still heard me.
"What do you mean?"
His voice now showed concern as tears started accumulating in my eyes, why does his voice sound so embracing? Why do I feel like crying in front of a guy whom I barely know!
"Y/N?"
He shouts my name in shock as I fall on the floor, I don't know what's happening but my body just won't move anymore, I had already used up too much energy after running for so long and on top of that, Kai's words just won't stop replaying in my head!
"M...ar...k, I don't like this anymore, I had en...ough of everything! I want to disappear!"
Just like that, I burst out crying like a newborn baby! Last time I cried like that was at my mother's death...
He doesn't say anything but comes closer to me and kneels on the floor, he slowly takes off his coat and gently places it on top of me, he picks me up in a bridal style and starts walking...his body felt warm and safe, totally different from Kai's, I wish this secure feeling won't end up being a dream, I'm too scared to face reality again, I'm too scared to come across these atrocious events that are taking place consecutively!
"Y/N...it's ok I'm not gonna ask you what happened, feel free to tell me when your ready, I really hate seeing you like this...I really do! Every time you do this kind of face, it breaks my heart..."
My mind felt calmer at his caring, deep voice, he looked worried and glanced at me from time to time as he continued walking.
But why does he talk like he has known me for a long time?
I take another glimpse of his face and catch his dark eyes staring deeply at mine, what's this weird feeling? Have I met him before...?
"Y/N..."
"Uh...hmm...yeah?"
"Will you come to my house? I will protect you and make sure that no force in this world can ever hurt you! I will...keep you happy and safe! Away from everyone."
I widen my eyes at his suggestion, what is he saying all of a sudden? Is that alright? But I wonder what he said after that, I couldn't catch the last sentence...
I felt like I was getting attached to his web-like words, everything seemed so simple and bright yet there was something about this whole situation that didn't add up...why was he so worried about me?
