Chap. 64

Your POV;

"Any advice you could share with me?" I asked with my crossed legs on the bed, my eyes trained on her who was braiding her hair.

"What advice?"

"Well um...about..you know" I breathed out, hoping she knows who was I refer to. But the way her head shake from left to right had just made me thought how blunt Hara is.

I let out a breathe I didn't realise I was holding in.

"Avi" I breathed out. From the corner of my eye, Hara stopped for a second before continue braiding. Silence dived right away as Hara had done braiding. Then she gestured me to turn around and I did. I could feel she was getting closer behind me and began to braid my hair.

"If you really must know," Hara paused. "That thing with Tao, she hated me the most before. And now you're here, I guess you already know the answer although I clearly do not know the reason why she hated you. Basically she just hated every girl Kris had brought here so..."

I frowned. Why she need to hate me? Is it because something I have and she doesn't? Things just get weirder and weirder. Wait.

"Hara" I called out to her. She hummed in response. I wanted to ask her why she hated me before... I'm not certain if she still hated me now or not. She's braiding my hair now so the hate must go away right?

"Why do you hate me?"

Finally I feel some of the burden lift off from my shoulder when that question slipped from my lips. But the tension grew awkward when she just being a silent killer.

Me just decided to kill the silence when Hara spoke up.

"I don't hate you."

"But....?"

Even if I couldn't see her, I could feel her rolling her eyes behind me.

"I don't particularly like you."

"Why is that?"

She sighed. "People who ask most questions to me tends to die."

And with that said, I shut my mouth. A faint chuckle was heard and I tried my best to suppress my smile. Maybe she isn't that bad like I expected at all. Gosh, this place is truly changing me. But one thing is bugging me, though. All this kidnapping, Kris's change of behavior towards me, not to mention Tao who wanted to rape but ended up had a change of heart by putting the wings to my back, and this girl who always (I think) try to find a way to get rid of me from this hell hole, I feel like they were planning on something and something...tells me it has been change.

Meh, I guess I'm thinking too far now because when I turn my head, I already see Hara checking her own braid and she finally done her braid on my hair. I look myself in the mirror and, wow... I don't like to admit about me being pretty sometimes, but wow, her braid is tough looking kind but end up beautiful. Hara clap her hands once, taking my attention. She got up and stood.

"Well uh, ___, I'm not the kind of a girl who likes to admit things but..." Hara trailed off before continuing and look straight in the eyes, "it's nice talking to another company in the house. Well, if you consider our recent conversation just now as 'talking'. I better go."

With that said, Hara walked to the door and closed it behind her, leaving me grinning from ear to ear. That's nice of her. I stood up and head to the bookshelf that was located beside the window and heard the door creaking open. I quickly turned my body and ready with my stance, in case Tao wanted to test me out again. I let out a breathe in relief when Hara poked her head.

"I forgot to give this. Here," Hara said and brought a tray of good foods inside before putting it on my bed. Quickly and quietly like a fox, Hara went to the door but I stopped her. The smells of mushroom ravioli, stripes of bacon, red beans on rice and luscious look of pancake, it's possible for me to gobble them up but with Hara here, I guess I need my plus one to talk to.

"What is it?"

"Eat with me"

There's a slight pause but Hara shake her head. I expect this kind of response so I let her go.

"Please? You've been braiding my hair so the least I could do is to share my food. Please? Hara?"

I could see she was conflicting with herself in the insides but when she lift her eyes to see me, I think I could see a hidden smile tugging on the end of her lips.

"I get dibs on the pancake," she casually said and walked passed by me. My face dropped in an instant hearing her request.

"Hey no fair!"

Mrs. Graye's pancake is so fit for a King and I think I could never live a day without eating her pancakes.

"Too late. Besides, you're the one who wanted to share your food with me so.." Hara winked, getting on the bed and I join beside her.

3rd person's POV;

"Ughh, my head"

The sound of sudden shriek beside him made him go eye widened, making the pain in his head became unbearable and suborned every second. It was making him nauseous and was at the verge of vomiting but he able to keep it down. He took a deep breathe and looked around him. It was dark, yet he still could see a faint light from the corner of the room and he tried his best to look where was the source of the light coming from.

He kept prying his eyes but still it was too dark for him to figure it out. Then, a frown was glued to his face as he realized something. After blinking a few times, he felt his hands were tugged with something cold that was sticking on his skin. It didn't take a second for him to realize that he was actually chained.

He then trail his hands on the cold chain that was chaining him slowly until he touched a cold wall. He tried to pull the chain, hoping with some efforts that being poured into it will somehow loosened it but to no avail.

"Damn it" he cursed under his breathe after trying it several times. He knew by then it was hopeless to free himself from the metal chain, but he didn't stop there. He tried and tried to figure a way out from this place that seems like a prison to him. Furthermore, why in the hell that good looking yet effin' evil guy took him away?

What was the reason he needed to take him away?

Does this have to do with ____'s disappearance? His forehead began to crease trying to remember what Kris had said but he couldn't. It was as if something had blocked his mind, trying to prevent him from remembering it. He knew, deep down in his soul, he being kidnapped, there must be an explanation to all of this. To him, it was somehow some sort of connection and everything that happened was related.

____ has gone, Kris told them something about one of them will--

"Nah, don't drain your energy yet, kid. We will have tons of fun and I even won't let you take a five minutes of rest."

Out of the blue, a voice appeared out of nowhere but he was familiar with it. Within the faint of light, a man appeared from the shadows completely in black clothes, staring at him with a grin.

"Hiya, Key. Good to see you like this."
