I looked at him confused as he walked close to me again and again. I had just an option to move back as much as I can. Even that option was not possible for a long time as the wall was right behind making my back hit the wall. I could feel the cold surface hitting me and that literally made me froze. My eyes interlocked with his and his sharp glare which was only half visible.
"Shall I remove the mask?" He asked with a warning.
"I- I have to go back."
"Which means you cant see me. But you are not leaving soon.' He hummed into my ears and I had to push him back.
He stumbled and moved a few steps back. I regretted it the moment he rushed to me slamming me to the wall once again. This time, his hands on both of my shoulders pressing them roughly.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"What are you doing?" He asked back but each word emphasized.
I looked into his eyes hoping his bangs would move at the wind letting me get a glimpse of his hidden eyes. The wind did blow through the crack of the broken window glass but it didnt even touch his hair. The wind only wanted to intensify the scent of his precious blood into my system.
"Why are you so cold?" He asked touching my forehead.
I quickly slapped his hands away and tilted my head to the side. He immediately let go off me and walked back. I sighed in relief.
"Call the doctor and check on her. I dont want her to die here before my needs are over." He commanded the guards and soon a person left the room while holding out his phone.
'I dont like consulting doctor." I protested.
What is a doctor gonna do with me? He surely will find that my body doesnt function like a normal human. Just a heart which beats at time and a overly working digestive system. I scoffed myself.
"You dont decide anything here. This is my place." The man growled at me and all I could do was to get scared.
"Dont scare her." Brian talked our and that was a relief.
"I am trying to be nice to her when I dont even have a reason." The man said.
"Whats your name?" I asked even after knowing what the consequence will be.
"Didnt I tell you? Call me master." He declared.
I literally wanted to snap his neck like a twig as he was trying to get into my nerves. I tried to play along but he seems to be too ignorant. How can a famous person who have a lot of fan following behave this cheap?
"Yea?"
The so called master and Brian turned to my direction along with the guards.
"Is basketball not enough for you to survive?" I promise it was a slip of tongue which I already regret.
"What did you just say?" He dashed to me immediately grabbing my neck.
I slapped his hands to get free but his hold was so tight that my feet left the floor really quick.
"What did you say?" He asked again but I couldnt answer a word even if I wanted to.
"First answer my questions." I demanded in spite of being scared and helpless.
I could feel his hold getting tighter and tighter provoking me. The side of me which I wanted to hide would come out any moment and thanks to him. I clenched my fist behind me as I closed my eyes. I gave upon struggling at this point and soon enough I was thrown to the floor. Maybe he thought, I was dead.
END OF SHEA'S POV...
"No....." Brian interferred.
"Brian, get her used to the rules here even if its the hardest way." The man ordered.
"I choose to see your face rather than going back alive." Shea fixed her mind after arguing to herself.
She didnt know if that was what she wanted as she still havent found her Tan. She persume it to be Tan as his scent took her back to those days. She believes its him but even his voice have changed. The way he dresses, the way he talks, the way he had his unique gestures...it was all different.
"Are you sure that you wont regret it?" The man asked her in his ocean voice.
"I have nothing to lose." That was all she answered.
"Shea, think about this again." Brian warned her and she just scoffed.
The man walked close to her, his hands in hair pulling up the bangs. Shea saw his eyes for once and that was enough for her to identify him. Her man, the person whom she have been searching ever since. The man who taught her the lessons of love.
"I am being nice to you as its our first meet." He said and in a go he pulled out his mask and shook his head either side vigorously to remove the hair which fell back.
Shea froze on her spot. She finally found him just like that. The tall man with a turquoise lens instead of his old hazel eyes. His cherry red hair which he used to change into vibrant colours back then is now jet black. The seriousness in his face remembered her about the days they first met. Evil Tan, the devil.
"Surprised enough?" He asked bringing her back to senses.
"I-is that re-really you?"
"Brian, is she also one of the fan girl?"
"I dont know." Brian replied lazily.
"Tan....Tanniee.." Shea cried while running to the boy and hugging him.
"What the hell are you doing?" The man said pushing her away.
"Tannie, you forgot me? Where were you?" She asked again.
"I am Qihe. The captain of my Q team." He announced making her stop her cries.
"What?" She asked wiping her tears.
"You must get hold of yourself. You are my maid so stay in that position and call me master. Not by my name ever." He growled as his eyes penetrated her soul.
"Tan, what joke is this?" Shea asked gripping the boy's hand.
"Take her to the cell." Qihe ordered and soon Shea found herself locked in a dark room.
