Chapter 5 - Your name...

_"You are earlier than i thought."

He put his chin on his hand and look at me with unreadable expression.

_"I thought you would take more time to progress and think about the situation you are in.-" He puts his ghost smile on his face again--"But i'm glad you come here as soon as called you." He is sure enjoying this.

When he realise i'm not going to say anything he adds. - "Sit down." and points to the chair. I sit down, not knowing what to say or do so i remain quiet. The situation is rather than dangerous and scary, it's also awkward. I look down on my lap, not bothering to eat anything even so everything looks so delicious.

_"You don't like the food?" I look up only to see the boy who bought me here_"Maybe it is not your taste?" I just swallow hard and don't wanna try to do anything in case he would kill me.

_"I don't bite." He says. I look up, not knowing what he mean. He doesn't bother to look at me again and start eating his food(I don't know the food's name) He isn't dog to bite right?

I look at the food and swallow hard again. Someone like me can have this delicious food? But i didn't do anything to deserve this. I pick up the fork and try to eat normally with it but i guess i forgot how to eat with fork or spoon normally. It's really uncomfortable feeling, i haven't held fork in my hands for years and suddenly eating with it...

I put the food in my mouth and it is as delicious as it looks. Now that i think about it, i think it's called sausage.

While i was enjoying the food, i didn't notice "The Boss" looking at me.

_"What's your name?"

I look at him. 'He should've know my name already, right? Then why bother asking?'

_"What's yours?" I ask him. I don't trust him to tell him my name also i hate the name of mine.

He laughed. I get chills from him.

_"Trying to play games here?" He looks at me as his eyes darkened. "What's your name?" He ask again. I know i shouldn't ignore his question like that so i answer him.

_"Lilith" I hate my name. It's means Ghost and it's rare. The names with dark meanings means curse even tho they sound so beautifull. Sometimes you can't even find the evil in beauty, that's why i think beauty is not always blessing since it can be curse as well. Monsters as devils can be beautiful too and some people are too naives to realise that.

Back to reality...

_"May i know your name?" Nows my turn to ask him about himself.

_"...Call me Lucas" he said.

_"Lucas..." Without realising I said it out loud.

_"What? Disliking my name?" He raise an eyebrow. The realisation hit me.

_"No no, not at all sir...Erm..Lucas!" Somehow I panicked but he just chuckle and I get little ease. Not knowing what to ask or do, I just continue eating and try my best not to look at him.

Time passed just like that. The silence was laying upon us as we were eating,however, I think it was better that way. Who knows what kind of things people like him can do to me. I should be careful to survive and for now, let's to get in his way and try to stay out of trouble...

I look at the ceiling and think-Even these be hard things to do.
