GOODBYE HOME

Three well tinted black SUV drove into a five bedroom duplex meant for a simple family, the structure of the building was so simple that one doesn't need a seer to tell them that it's owned by a middle family.

watching the scene from the window, stood a pale skinned girl, with brown eyes and a thick, silky long black hair that goes all the way down to her hip.

tears drip down from her eyes, using her right back hand she wiped the tears off.

" Claire?" a female voice which was accompanied by a knock came from the other side of the door. Claire turned her head towards the door and she knew that it was time, time for her to get married, she gripped unto the black dress that she was putting on. Another thing that she hates about today is this black dress, it was an order from her so called husband, no. future husband since she has not met him before.

who on earth marry someone they haven't even seen?.

And also who on earth wear black on their wedding day?.

this is not just her wedding day but her death day.

slowly, she walked over to the door and twisted the doornob to behold her family, her mother who already had a swollen eye, alongside her seventeen years old brother and sixteen years old sister, her father stood far behind everyone else like he didn't care about anything.

" you don't have to go if you don't want to go" Skyler said, making it sound like she has a choice. She stare at her father and all her hope we're crumbled.

" I will be fine Kyle, try not to give Mom a heartache and also protect CeCe" Claire said forcing a smile to appear on her face.

" I will do just that" Skyler said, while nodding his head.

" time to leave" Claire's father announced causing everyone to finally know the reason why they had come to her room in the first place.

staring at her father, Claire wanted to ask her mother if she'd sure that this man here is truly her father. right from the start he never loved her and he seems very happy sending her to her death.

The family stepped outside their main house and that was when Claire got a clear view of the cars. They were so heavy tinted that one couldn't even see anything. Claire was sure that if these men want to kill, they will do that and dispose her body without anyone seeing or noticing them. shifting her gaze to the five men who were dressed in black suit, each and everyone of them look handsome yet scary at the same time.

Claire took a deep breath, she has to do this for her family, else who knows what that king is capable of doing to her family. she turned to her family, giving them one last hug, except for her father who didn't even bother to look at her.

" he must really hate me" Claire thought within her.

one of the men opened the car door for her and she hoped in, the door got shut instantly.

Claire held her chest to prevent her heart from beating fast, but that wasn't helping her. She felt a presence beside her, looking left, she caught sight of a man who was clothed in a gray suit, he looked different from everyone else and one thing about him was the fact that he was purely breathtaking.

" hi" Claire greeted trying to lighten up the tension in the car but the man didn't even glance at her. Her attention shifted back to her family, then she waved at them, even though she was sure that they won't see her, she didn't mind.

the car started and in few minutes they were on the road, the ride was quite and scary at the same time, the man sitting beside her didn't even give her a single glare, he was completely focused on his laptop and was typing away.

" could he be my husband?" Claire thought within her, yet she didn't get any answer. when she noticed that there was nothing to do, she turned her gaze to the window, at lease it will be good to know where she's going in case she needs to run away from her husband.

" Chris, I hope you forgive and understand".

The car pulled over in an airport, Claire widen her eyes in both shock and disbelief.

nobody told her that she did be travelling by air. Now looking at the situation all her hope of running away when the time is right has been crumbled.

Her car door was opened for her, she stepped out of the car wondering what's next?.

" miss" the man who opened the door for her gestured that she should walk ahead and that was when she saw it.

An aeroplane, no, not an aeroplane but a jet, a private jet, Claire couldn't believe it, as she walks on the stairs, she was careful not to stain it. the jet was so beautiful and from the look on it, it was expensive, it was black in colour just like her gown, the five men on black suit walked behind her while the one she stayed with in the car walked before her.

" Wow" was the only thing that could leave Claire's mouth the moment they entered the jet.

*****************

feeling someone touching her Claire opened her eyes to behold a flight attendant.

oh boy!

she has fallen asleep, quickly she gathered herself together and followed the exist, when she got down from the Jet, she sighted another three black cars.

" what's wrong with this people and black?"

As usual, she was escorted into the black car, this time around, Claire didn't bother about anything, if she's going to die, then so be it, she has already said her goodbye to her family , her home but she didn't say goodbye to him.

tears drip down her eyes and she swore never to give this so called husband of hers her heart.

the car drove in an usual quietness, Claire's eyes was transfixed on the road, they followed a bushy path, she gulped at the thought of this, why bushy path?

why can't they just follow the normal road?

or is it that they don't have normal roads?

or maybe this is where they're going to kill her.

weird thoughts kept on coming into her head, but when she looked ahead it was as if her thoughts were becoming a reality.
