Barbara's POV:
"How are you doing, poor thing?" He inquired about my health. My confidence began to dwindle. To forget about his dark side, I just watched his face. He looked more handsome in his suit and his new hairstyle. He walked past Aaron and made himself comfortable in the chair close to my bed. We looked at each other's eyeballs. His eye glowed and reflected in my eyes, I rubbed them extremely fast like lightning so that I could continue.
He had the flowers in his hands when I opened my eyes and placed them on my lap. I believe I fell it when I was rubbing my eyes.
He brought out his dagger and begun brandished it. This time I was not afraid of the dagger. When he looked down to examine the dagger, I also bent a few degrees to watch his gorgeous handsome face but he realized I was watching him too much.
"Barbara..." He called while he still faced his stainless steel short knife. 'Demn, he caught me hot red-handed!!' I blamed myself for some while as his voice kept echoing and my name still wavering in my ears. It was so affable!
"Does you hurt your brain too?"
"No..."
"I just inquired about how you are feeling, and there you are acting weird." He said calmly and put the dagger back in his suit while I still watched his face. I didn't know if that was love. How can I possibly fall in love with them because he's handsome, no, beautiful? I advised myself.
"I am fine." I asserted and griped the flowers on my lap.
"Were you afraid of the blade?" he asked thinking I was afraid.
"mm..mm."
"No!? Did they ask queries?"
I tilted my head left and right to signify a negative answer. Aaron was still standing and staring at me and immediately our eyes met, he pretended to be looking elsewhere.
"You are the only weapon I am afraid of." I expressed without hesitation. The words just run down my mouth. I accomplished my chore of letting out my nightmares.
"Do you think I will still kill you?" His vote was still calm and gentle.
I nodded simultaneously. In some minutes, he said nothing to me. He just stood up and headed outside.
"Are you leaving me here?" I cried.
"Go and find your parents. You are free now, girl." Turned and suggested, he walked backward.
That was not the answer I was expecting. That was so rude. That was so bad and unbearable. He knew perfectly I had no parents. I taunted and cried severely. 'Mom and dad, please come for me!' I made an apostrophe and wiped out my tears. They still flowed down uncontrollably. He hurt me so extensively. Pictures of my parents jumped into my head. "Run! Don't go back home. Just run to a safer place, for now, we shall meet someday." I recalled my mother's last words her blood oozed out covering the windshield.
My father lay on the ground beside his somersaulted car holding a little box to his chest and also shouted "Take this box and leave here. Just go!!" A five-year-old girl runs to find shelter. Here I am now, still alive and facing all sorts of bullshits in esprit.
"Please, crying will worsen your constraint." A nurse proposed.
"You came back?"
"Yeah, I promised. It's fine, just wipe your tears and let us talk."
'Really?' I rhetorically asked.
"Yeah, currently, tell me about yourself." She requested. I still did not want De Devil to leave me here but I didn't want to follow him also. I was just caught between my decisions. "So since you are not ready to start, I will. My name is Silvia Gonzalo from Brazil and...what is my name?" She learned I was not consolidating which wasn't. She just stood up and put me back to sleep which I didn't disagree with. I kept thinking about the Devil, wondering why he left me that way. The nurse picked the flower and put them beside me.
Was she teasing me or what? I didn't know but I felt that way. I finally want Devil to come back and scare me. That was what I beseeched for, yeah, I wanted him to be around me.
Suddenly, another doctor rushed in and asked the nurse to go out but she hesitated. He repeated his phrases, this time with a commanding voice. The voice seemed familiar but the face was new. How come he had no gloves on? This mark on his hand.
Yeah! I gave him that. He was one of the kidnappers who kept me in the carry-on and exported me as a package. I hit him with a metal I had picked from the trash. 'What is he doing here? Did Devil send him here to kill me? Is that what he meant by I should go find my parents?' Different questions occupied my mind.
"At last here you are, girl." He pulled a gun from his pants and pointed it at me. I trembled but refused to plead for mercy. His laughter was so cruel. His other hand also reached for his phone and started to record me. I just lay there speechless and panting profusely. I closed my eyes.
The light from his camera made me do so. I felt liquid spill on my face a few seconds after closing my eyes. I swabbed it with my blanket and when I opened my eyes, the nurse was cleaning a dagger; that was Devil's. The dagger he was brandishing. Maybe, she had her own but it had the same design. Did they work together? I watched his innocent face as she smiled.
"I promised you I would come back 'Mi amour.'" She poked fun at me.
"Did you just kill a man?" I curiously questioned.
"Aw! He just needed surgery so I slit his throat." She laughed and touched my nose with her weapon.
'My name is Barbara, please.' I finally opened up.
"I know."
'Errm...friends?' I requested. I was trembling still. I was out of words and I didn't want to make her angry. I aired her but she saved my wretched miserable life. Maybe, if I feign to be her friend, she would save me from De Devil too but I did not want him dead.
"We were friends before you got here, darling." She smiled showing off her white teeth with a bracelet. "Wait, let me clean up this mess." She continued. I lay there scanning the room and watch her drag the killer away. She put her in a small closet in the room and locked it up, and sat beside me.
"I know him, he did this to me."
"Really? I thought your master did." She angrily moved and unlocked the closet, then, slapped the dead man's face. We talked for some while before Aaron interrupted.
"Master said you should come with me." He delivered and Sylvia bobbed gently. They assisted me in sitting in a wheelchair and drove me out.
"Thank you, Sylvia."
"I knew it! You heard me mention my name but you feigned ignorance!" She always smiled at me whenever she looked at my face. I realized that was her temperament. Even after the killing, she was just smiling.
"Take this ice cream, mistress." Aaron offered after driving for some minutes.
'You bought it for me?'
"Nope, Master did."
I took it and got into it. My right hand just moved the spoon from my cup to my watery mouth. The Devil's frost cream tasted sweet. Reaching the climax; I stopped when I recalled the last time they fed me with his food. For over a decade, I had never tasted ice cream. My tongue tempted me to finish it.
The car turned on a song itself.
"The call is yours, please." He offered and pushed a blue button and Devil's picture was displayed.
"Direct Aaron to your home, he will drop you there." His voice took over my ears.
"Wait!" I caught his attention.
"What!?"
"Let me into your home; I promise to leave once I am healed and absolutely fine..." I pleaded for an offer.
"Permission granted." He concluded and cut the call before I could say another word. His handsome face did not leave my mind. 'Before I walk; I would make sure I have won his dark heart.' I promise myself.
"He has a girlfriend."
Aaron rebated. I think my fantasy showed on my lips again. He got me confused and heartbroken. Well, a pauper like me didn't deserve such a wealthy man. I continued to sip my ice cream as if I was fine. But why did am I falling in love with a Devil?
"Maybe you can." He added and halted the car. Someone opened my door and brought me out safely, it was the Devil. He pushed me gently into my room. I still had the ice cream on my lap. I had eaten half of it already and did not want to continue. Devil always hurt my appetite.
"Is that my ice cream?" He questioned and picked it up to examine it. I knew it! I knew this was coming.
"Lucky, this is not mine." He placed it on the table. His bodyguard brought the flowers inside and left without saying a word.
Immediately he left, Devil faced me, and he brought his head closer and closer. His lip faced my lips. At least, the love I had waited for. I pushed my head forward to make it quick. I was desperate to do this and...
