HOSTAGE

Shea doesnt remember when she fell asleep but when her eyes were finally open, she found herself surrounded by a number of men. They have been standing on either side of the bed which crossed hands as if they were guarding her. She instantly jumped out of the bed looking around to see where she was. She seemed to have forgotten that she have been forced to stay at Brian's.

"Where am I?" She asked while no one answered.

Her question was answered when the door opened revealing a man in red tuxedo. He looked at her with a death glare making her confused. 'What did I do?' That was the question in her mind.

"Why am I here, Brian?" She asked walking to the man to be pulled back by those men in black cassock.

"You are a curious girl." He smirked while taking a seat.

"Dont you think its all a little over? I am a human too." She stuttered at the last part as she knows that was a lie.

"Whatever you are, doesnt matter here because you will be living like your master desires." He said rubbing his lower lips with his fore finger.

"What made you think that I will listen to you all. Atleast let me see your so called master."

"Well, he will be here any minute but before that listen to somethings which you will have to follow." Brian gestured Shea to take a seat next to him.

"What?" She pulled a chair and sat with crossed legs making Brian chuckle.

"You are gonna be in trouble a lot."

"What?" Shea felt that one word will be the only thing she will be having to speak at this place.

"Do not provoke him. Do not question him unless you want to be sleeping forever. Do not behave like his usual fan girl. The last one is very important and you need to think well before you answer." Brian paused while looking at Shea as he leaned forward.

"What again?" Shea scoffed.

"Once you see his face, you wouldnt have a return." He smiled making her choke on her saliva.

"What? Why?"

"Its like that. I hope you are not one of his fan girl." Brian furrowed his eyebrows while waiting for an answer.

"Hello? I dont even know who he is..." Her words were wrapped in sarcasm.

Suddenly two men barged into the room and Brian immediately stood up as if he understood the meaning. Shea still sat there not knowing what to do.

SHEA'S POV...

I have no idea whats going on and why I am even staying here for nothing. Brian is someone whom I have to keep an eye on but now it seems like they all are keeping their eyes on me. I peeked behind the men to see what is coming for me next. I could hear footsteps coming from afar and the same time, the familiar scent of blood rushed in to my system. Its him.

I couldnt contain the curiousness that my body started to get colder than ever. Thats going to be a trouble. I have tried my best to keep my temperature normal till this day but not anymore. I was interrupted when the slam of door was heard.

"I am here. Brian, did you explain to her?" The man asked in his deep voice.

"How is it possible?" I stood still hearing the voice.

"I did Captain but I dont know if she understood anything." Brian replied eyeing me.

Captain? That seems familiar.

The stadium...Yes, the person who got all the cheers. The same scent from the stadium. Could it possibly be that basketball captain? What the hell? Then is it he? The name which was in the address.

"Why do I always forget important things."

"What?" I looked up to see the man right in front of me.

He is so freaking tall that I will need a chair to see his eyes properly. I suddenly noticed the cap he wore now which wasnt there earlier. The letter was clearly visible to my eyes.

Q.

The letter which appeared in front of me a lot of times. The flower shop, the stadium, the letter in Brian's cap. The name...What can it be? I got back to senses when the scent of blood started making me go crazy. I looked up to see him stand in front of me closing all the gap. It would be a lie if I say that I didnt have the urge to pull his mask off.

"I am your master from now on." He declared as if he owns me.

"I want to see your face." I snapped back.

After all, thats the only reason why I am even staying.. I frowned at him while his face changed. I dont know what expression it held because all I could was a little of his hair which covered his eyes. Suddenly the whole room filled with awkward silence. It was already silent but at this point, it felt different.

"Are you sure?" He asked me.

The same voice again...so deep and soulful just like that of Tan. I heard a cough from behind and looked over the man's shoulder to see Brian who glared at me. What was that for? I thought to myself and thats when my weak brain remembered it. If I see his face, then there wont be a return for me. Should I quit or go for it? Another storm of thoughts rushed in me.

"Hello?" He flicked his finger in front of my eyes.

The scent of his blood, the sudden closeness, his deep voice and unexpected atmosphere. All these things had me weak already and my temperature have been dropping immensely. I feel the veins inside me popping out. If he walks any closer to me, I am sure that I will have to throw him away.

"You seem to zone out a lot, little girl." He said and the next thing happened was his fingers running through my jawline.

I quickly backed away and turned around. Two things happened with a single touch. One is that he got to know my body is ice cold and second is, I can never stay here with this man whomever he is.
