"Ughhh…"
I woke up from my sleep and heard the sound of someone playing the piano gracefully. But, the sound of the instrument didn't fit where I was.
I am blindfolded while tied up in a seat. I tried struggling for a bit, but it was no use. I couldn't get out of this place.
"HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME!"
I tried calling for help, but all I could hear was the echo of my voice and the sound of the piano that kept on playing. I started breathing heavily, and I began to sweat. "Oh? You're awake, mademoiselle?"
I heard footsteps coming in front of my direction. The man had a weird accent, and he was mixing both French and Japanese together. I am a journalist who has been in a few countries together with Kazu, and I can understand what he said.
"Where am I? Who are you?"
"Now now, save the questions for later. Would you like to have a cup of tea Miss Beautiful Lady?"
The man held my hair and twirled it around. I was afraid, and I started to panic. I tried struggling again, and the man stopped touching my hair.
"Oh, Pardon me, mademoiselle. I have a thing for human bodies, and I find yours quite… interesting…"
What is it with him? Who is he anyway? Does he want to kill me? I just want to get out of here. I don't even know where I am because of this blindfold, and I am tied up in a chair.
"What the hell are you doing with my toy, pervert?"
Another person came inside. His voice looked tired and annoyed. But…
What does he mean by me being a toy?
"Oh, calling me a pervert is an ECSTASY for me!"
The man who I talked with was delighted by what the other person said. These two people who were with me are crazy. What are they talking about?
"Can I get some peace, and quiet from the two of you after I just went outside to catch this girl?"
Another person came in. She had a calm voice, and I could hear the sound of metal with her while she was walking. Was she the one who made me unconscious earlier? No way, that was not possible. I was in a narrow street.
How did she shoot me?
"Oh my apologies to our wonderful loli"
"Call me that again, and I am going to blow your head off."
*CLACK*
I heard a gun click from the girl who had just come. From that sound alone, it was clear that she was holding a gun, and was trying to threaten the first man who came here.
"Sigh… Stop it… If you do that you know that our leader will be furious."
"I guess you are right…" The girl with the gun said.
The tense atmosphere vanished thanks to the guy who had a tired voice. There was a long silence inside this room.
I can hear my heart beating, and my breathing as well. I was still confused about my whereabouts. But, from what the guy who had a tired voice said earlier about their leader becoming furious. Then that means, this might be their base.
"WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH ME?! WHY AM I IN HERE?!"
*STAB*
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
It hurts it hurts it hurts! A sharp object was stabbed in my leg. It was really deep, and I could feel the blade inside my flesh. I tried struggling even if the pain was excruciating.
"Sigh… I wonder if you will stop screaming once I peel off your fingernails?"
It was the guy who had a tired voice who spoke. He was the one who stabbed me in the leg. I felt a blade under the fingernails of my pinky finger.
"NO STOP!!! STOP IT!!! PLEASE!!! NO!!! NO!!!"
"Don't worry… I'm going to peel your fingernails nice, and… slowly…"
My fingernail is going to get peeled, my fingernail is going to get peeled! Someone! Help me! Someone…
Kazu, where are you?
I want someone to help me. I don't want to die, I don't want to die!
*BAM*
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
Someone slammed a door open and screamed really loud. It was a woman.
From her voice alone, it was loud and had a lot of energy in it. She also must be crazy like the rest of these people.
"Hey, Stop interfering with my work. I can do whatever I want with my toy"
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! THE LEADER TOLD YOU TO TORTURE THE WOMAN LATER!!!"
Torture? What does she mean by torture? They are going to torture me? But why? Why are they going to torture someone worthless like me?
"Oh my, now the beast who had muscles for her brains entered the scene."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU FANCY PERVERT BASTARD?!"
*SMASH*
I heard a loud smash near me, and the whole area shook. I can hear the rubbles of cement falling down on the floor. Did the woman just punch the wall, and caused that?
"H-HEEELP!!! SOMEONE HELP ME!!! I'M GOING TO GET KILLED!!!"
Now I am able to somehow identify who these people are. Some of the survivors said that there are 4 people who are below the one behind all of this. A duke, a marquise, an earl, and a viscount. They are also called the 4 nobles who are faithful to the leader.
"Oh my. Our mademoiselle is losing it."
"SHUT UP WOMAN!"
*SMACK*
The strong woman had struck me in the neck. My head got fuzzy again, and I was out cold for the second time. Please… Someone…
Just help me…
