I was sent through a portal.
That was the case, whether I liked it, or not. I severely underestimated Scarlett and Soren. They pretended to be idiots and weak, so I let my guard down. Moreover, I never got to know the reason they kidnapped me. While I thought I was wasting their time, they were the ones leading the conversation away from things they didn't want to answer. This was expected, of course, I wasn't prepared to be kidnapped, but even than, my reaction was pathetic anyway.
Well, that's in the past now, no reason to keep pondering on it.
I looked around, and almost gasped in surprise. I found myself in a grand, white hall, with a huge, wooden double door on the wall I was standing the closest to. Expensive-looking chandeliers hung from the almost 15 meters-high roof. There were no windows, so I was probably underground. Well, I mean, if I was kidnapping people, I would hide too.
I turned around, as I heard the door open. A tall man in a mask, wearing a black jacket with black jeans entered, gesturing for me to come with him. After he led me through a few corridors, we arrived before a door. I went inside, and found myself in a much smaller room, with a table in the center. The furniture, made out of dark-colored wood, was made for 6 people, with two chairs each on the longer sides, and 1-1 on the shorter.
"Please sit down, master will be here shortly."
With that, the guard - this is how I decided to call them - left, and closed the door behind him.
I was alone once again. Now that I knew my meeting with the boss of the twins was going to happen, I tried preparing mentally. I gathered my arguments, and cleared mind. I was determined to get the information I wanted, but because I was in enemy territory, I had to be careful. My plan was to leverage my probably only advantage: No one tried to kill me yet. That means, that they are going to use my body in some way, - if that happens, there's no way to get out, I'm basically dead - or they want something from me. If that's the case, I can probably get a lot out of her.
With my plan solid, I waited. Almost an hour later, the door opened, and a woman in her early twenties walked inside. She had blonde hair, with piercing blue eyes. She looked like a model from one of those fashion magazines. In another situation, I would even admire her beauty, but not now.
"What a nice way to treat guests!" - I started before she even sat down - "First, forcefully kidnapping them, then make them wait one hour. If you want something from that person, it's really an ideal way to start."
She didn't respond, so I waited for her to take the seat opposite of me. As soon as she sat down, she began speaking.
"I'm sorry, some problem arose, so I had another business to take care of."
Or so she said, but I didn't sense even the smallest sign of regret in her words. I wondered, if this was another calculated move to mess with me.
"I'm sure you have some questions." - she continued - "However, I would like you to listen to me first."
"I'm sure you have some things to say to me" - I mimicked her - "However, I would like you to free me first."
"Forceful, huh? Well, that's fair. I let you ask one question."
"One question? You'll eventually tell me everything, so why shouldn't I ask more questions-"
"Enough. First, don't be greedy, second, I have little time for you."
"Fine. Then Here's my first question: What's your name and your position in this organization?"
I was tempted to ask the reason for my presence,or whereabouts, but I figured she would have to tell me those anyway.
"I am Diana Westhorn, and I am the boss of this place."
"I see. So Dia" - I decided to call her that way, to piss her off - "You're gonna give me a rundown on what is my purpose, right?"
I could see the faintest hint of anger on her face, which filled me with satisfaction. 'Yes, feel at least half of the pain I felt when talking to the twins!'
"So, let me quickly explain what you're doing here. First of all, rules:
1.) You cannot leave this place, even in cases of emergency, unless given permission by me, and only me.
2.) You have to attend training lessons every day from 7 to 8 pm. You will be taking this class together with a student in a similar situation to yours, with Mr. Florend, our most experienced teacher.
3.) This facility has 3 floors. First floor is the dorms, second is for recreational services, training hall and the cafeteria, and in the third, where we currently are, the entry is prohibited for you."
"This is the three main rules you will have to live by. Additionally, you will get a Personal Digital Assistant, or a PDA device, where you can access your schedule, look at the map of the first two floors, send and receive mails, identify yourself and much more. You can figure out the remaining things by yourself. Any questions?"
"As a matter of fact, I still do not know, why am I here? Or where am I? I think these are some questions you should really answer, before you decide to contain me for an indefinite amount of time!" Further information will be provided Friday, at 8 pm."
Friday?? That's two days later! They expect me to just sit on my *ss, and accept it? I was about to speak up, but Diana was faster.
"No complaint will be accepted. A guard will escort you to your room, sleepytime is between 11 pm and 6 am. During that time, no one is allowed to leave their rooms. Training starts tomorrow, just try to get used to the environment for now."
And with that, she stood up, and left the room.
