#Chapter5
Am I stupid?
Do I look stupid?
I know my hair looks like a mad woman, but I don't look stupid right?
So why would he say I'm stupid?
Just because he's so smart, doesn't make me stupid.
I pack my things as I remember all that happened.
/"I'm sorry I think I heard you wrong/" I speak, my vocals tired.
/"No, you heard me right/"
/"But.... I can.... I can't just pack my things... I don't even know where
I am going, how will I just leave. I have a life/" my words loud and
audible.
/"Miss micheals, you should have known that before you came running
here. And if I'm being honest with you. I'm letting you off easy, if
anyone was to know that you know what I am, you wouldn't be here
sitting, infact you life would have ended right when you screamed/"
/"so why won't you just kill me/"
/"Because I think, you could be useful/"
/"useful for what? /" I ask. Anger, fear Coarceing through my veins.
/"Time is running fast Miss micheals, get going and don't even think of
running away. I will catch you, you should know that /"
/"At least if I'm going to die or leave my life behind I should at least
know it's worth it/"
/" I don't think you have a choice /" He speaks confident as hell. So what
he's trying to say is, I should leave everything and go to God knows
where he's taking me to. Who knows maybe he's even going to kill
me. But he said if anyone was to find out I knew about him, I would be
dead.
So if I'm being wise for the first time in my life. Going with him, is
my safest option, as much as I would like to disagree.
Even if he's going to kill, at least I'll know my killer.
/"Please, be honest with me. Are you going to kill me?/" I ask as I stare
at him from the chair I was sitting. My mind racing for his answer.
/"No/" oh my God. Thank God. /" Not if you give me a reason to. As of now,
no, but if you put on any ill behavior, then my answer is yes/" my hope
just died.
I'll just make sure to listen to instructions from now on. I pray I
can. I was never one to follow the rules, I hated it. Who are you to
order me around? And baby look where that got me.
/"Are there any others that would kill me, if not you?/"
/"Miss Rose/" my name sounding like lullabies from his mouth and I had to
shut my eyes as it feels good.
Oh.... Lord.... What is wrong with me.
/"That is not something you should know. If you don't want to be escorted
by my men, I advice you go willingly and pack your things, you have just
4hours and my men will be at your door/"
If he's not going to tell me, then I take it as a yes. If it was a
no, he would definitely have no problem in telling me. Right now I'm in
deep shit and he's my only way out.
So rose, be smart for some time. We'll escape. One day we will.
So here I am packing the last of my things, more like my clothes.
I stare at kiki, sleeping beautifully as I stroke her and she purred. /"I
wish I could be like you. Have no problems at all and let all this just
be a scary dream/"
I don't know if they'll let me take kiki, and I'm not taking any
chance. I'll hide her inside my big hand bag and take her with me. Who
knows where I'm going, I might need a friend.
I take my bath as Mr Fox men will soon be here. It's 4:45 already, they
should be here anytime soon. I put on a jean and a sweat shirt, as I
look at all my belongings. My house still look full, just didn't feel
like it.
/"I don't know when I'll be back. But take care. I'll miss you all/" my
hands on the wall as I talk to my house.
I'm not crazy, I'm just sad.
A knock on the door, bringing me out of my breakdown as I compos
myself. It's definitely them.
I opened the door to be received by four men all in suit. Well it's
definitely them.
/"Miss Micheals/" The one at the front spoke. /"I'm Zion, are you ready?/" He
asks me and I nod opening the door wide open so they could come in and
help me with my things.
/"Are these all?/" he asks.
/"Yes/" I replt as they carry them all. /"No, not that. I'll take that
one myself/"i tell him as he tries to carry the bag kiki is in.
He looks at me as he backs down and takes the others in his hands out. I
take the bag from the couch and open it a bit so kiki can have breathing
air as I pet her and she only stare at me. /"Good girl, we'll be there
soon okay. Everything is going to be just fine. /" I assure her, more like
assuring myself.
I go out as I lock the door and start leaving when I just have to look
back again. This is not how I planned to leave my home. I always
thought it was going to be when I meet a nice looking guy and we both
fall in love, then he'll propose to me and I'll say yes, then I'll have
to leave my home and move to his, but now that is far from true.
If I don't die first, that is.
I get into the car as they start driving and I can't help but look
outside, only to find out that it's tinted, both inside and outside. It
is like a limo, the driver's side is covered as I can't see them, just
like I can't see anything from the outside world.
So now I don't even know where I am going.
What did I get myself into? The tears found their way again to my eyes as
a few slide down. I turn my face to the other side as I didn't want the
rest of his Men sitting with me, to notice me cry.
I'm just like a prisoner, no friend, no idea and certainly, no knowledge
of where I'm going.
I ask myself, being dead and being a prisoner, which is preferable?
None.
Still on the road for more than an hour now, with nothing to do or look
at, as sleep starts to kick in.
I don't know how long I slept, as one of the securities wake me up. They
open the door as I get out.
One thing is for sure, this place to my house is really far because it's
already dark.
/"This way/" Zion directs me as I stare at the big mansion in front of me.
I don't understand. Am I coming to be a maid here, because I definitely
do not think I came to live here.
/"Zion, can I ask you a question? /"
/"of course /" he answers as we walk.
/"Who's house is this?/"
/"Mr Fox/" he answers sincerely.
/"And what am I doing here? /"
/"Didn't he tell you? /" he asked as he stops.
/"Tell me what? /"
/"You'll be living here/"
/"I know I'll be living here. But he didn't say I'll be his maid/"
/"What are you talking about? It seems you got it confused. Mr Fox is not
bringing you here to be his maid, there are lots of them that clean the
house. You're mainly his 'guest' as he put it/" he replies as we keep
going.
/"Ohhhhhhh/" that is the only reasonable answer to reply. /"Do you know
why? /"
/"Why you're here? /" he asks and I agree. /"That is confidential miss
Micheals, I can't tell you that/" we get to the front door as he opens it
with his face.
Even a house lock is this secured. Money talks people, I tell you. The
door immediately opens as we get in.
Mother of creation......
Is this real.
Wow.
I have never seen a place this beautiful and magnificent, and I am going
to be living here.
/"I'll show you your room and by tomorrow, we'll set you up with the
facial recognition of the house. Please note that, you are not allowed
to leave this premises and if you try to leave the securities at the gate
will inform Mr Fox at once. Please do try to behave, as said by Mr Fox /"
He speaks professionally.
I couldn't speak as I just nod. This house might be beautiful but my
life right now is far from that.
/"Is he going to be here?/" I asked Zion as we proceed for him to show me
my room all while walking through numerous rooms.
/"Mr Fox I mean/"
/"That, I don't know. I'm sorry. Though we have equipped everything for
you in here. There's the gym if you want to work out, a swimming
pool, play station, game room, Television subscribed to different
channels, sport room, theater room, and so on. You'll get to see all
of them/"
Ever since I met Zion he has been nice to me. He didn't give me any
attitude that I expected from his men, he has been patient and
understanding, which makes me think, just what did Mr Fox tell him that I
am doing here?
It sure can't be the truth, if not I'm sure I'll be treated like burnt
burger
Still I appreciate it.
/"Thank you Zion /" I tell him as we stop.
He nods/" This is your room, and if you're not comfortable with this one,
you could take any other. We'll come tomorrow to take your biometrics.
Have a nice rest miss Micheals/" He speaks as he leaves my side.
/"And miss Micheals, the kitchen is just by your left down the
stairs. Your food is awaiting, if you're hungry/" and with that he
leaves.
The way he calls me miss Micheals, just like Mr Fox, but the only
difference is, his own doesn't give me the chills.
Now Mr Fox, just what do you want to do with me?
