Chapter 6

Crystal’s POV…

Fuck. Fuck.fuck.fuck. fuck

What is wrong with me?

How can I be so fucked up?

Did I just makeout with my kidnapper?

Damn sure he gave me some kind of drug, cause normal me would have fainted then and there.

I pulled him towards me and literally invaded his mouth with even thinking!

Yes! There it is, I don’t think!

And and and the worst part it, he backed off!

He pushed me away and he walked off!

“FUCK” he groaned, panted hard and walked away.

It hurt me.

I mean look at him, he is tall. Much taller than he was at bus stand. And so beautiful.

Wait a second.

The guy at bus station and this guy, both are different. That bus stand person was bit fat and elderly. And this stunning guy with ash blonde hair and hazel eyes is different.

I have never seen such a beautiful man, his jawline, toned muscles, personality, its unfair.

But why did he kidnap me?

May be he needed friend?

May be he like killing people?

May be he is cannibal?

May be he is human trafficker?

May be he is psychotic killer?

May be sacrifice young girls for some ritual?

Oh damn, I am fucked.

I shouldn’t have left the house.

I should have just listened to gibber jabber of my family on dinner table.

Oh dinner I am so hungry, even my stomach is crying.

“crystal?” alexander called me.

“are you going to stand whole night standing there?” he enquired.

It took me few seconds to process what he was saying. His hair is wet, he bathed.

He preffered cold shower instead of me.

I think I should be insult-proof by now.

Clearing my throat I awkwardly sat on the couch.

“so we have some readymade proceeded food, few pack of chips,candies and ramen. Which flavor of ramen do you prefer?” he asked.

I tried to speak but high pitched squeaky voice left my mouth. Can this day already end? How much more humiliation?

Avoiding eye contact I picked up chips pack with gummy bears.

“alright” he sighed picking up his food.

“ahem ahem” I ignored him

What is there to life for? I might also be die by a psychopath in this rip age.my tomb stone will say, “insulted humiliated virgin lies here”

“Since we don’t know each other, I should intro-“ he started talking but my uncontrollable mouth has other plans.

“lets keep it that way” I muttered.

I started munching on my chips, trying to completely ignore his exsistance.

“as I was saying, I was born in-“ people say my side bitch face looks pretty mean. This is what I am going to use now.

Surrendering his hands in air, he made the sound that sounded like laugh trying to cover by cough.

“whats so funny?”  I inquired now facing him

“noth-“

“yeah, right”

“you know you should be scared instead of pissed” he said smiling.

Crunch of the chips

“mostly girls are crying mess”

Crunch

“or fighting”

Crunch

“or finding a way to escape”

Crunch crunch crunch

“only psychopaths sits peacefully eating chips” he added

“while kidnapper blabbers blah blah blah” I added

“talking makes it easier” he argued

“easier what?” I asked

“you will know soon”

“if you are going to kill me than do it fast” I said getting irritated

“I like to saviour the moment”

“you are not the kidnapper” I stated

“I am” he said

“nope. You are not the one who stuck chloroformed cloth to my mouth. That guy must have sold me to you” I said as matter of fact.

“no one sold you to me” he confirmed

“then you are the leader of cannibal group who eats young girls”

“errrr. Wrong”

“You are psychopath who likes to kill girls” I spoke

“nope”

“you are acting like the psychopath from the documentary.” I said sitting comfortably on the couch, with my legs in criss cross fashion

“what acting? Which documentary?”

“well, my friends and I found a set of old CDs in the attic. And its real life horror story” I deadpanned.

He gestured me to continue,

“a couple moved into a new house after the old resident passed away. After living there for a month, both of them experienced weird things, creepy vibes. So they decided to change the furniture. The new furniture was yet to delivery, and house was empty, so couple decided to change the wallpaper too. They spent hours ripping off the wallpaper, celebrated when longest piece of paper came out.  the girl saw a name inscribed on the wall. Ignoring the name they continued. Soon more names appeared. The curious couple googled those names only to find out those were the names of people who went missing years ago. They called the police, turns out the wallpaper they were ripping off was the skin of the victims”

He tried to hide the smile the whole time I told him the story.

“So who is the psychopath here?” he asked

“good question. The old guy who used to live in the house before the couple was psychopath.”

“ohh. So how am I acting like him?”

“he used to kidnap people too and rip their skin off, stick it to walls” my goosebumps raised as I realized this might happen. I don’t really know this guy. I glanced around, tchecking out the wall paper.

Nope. My skin wont be wallpaper.

“listen crstal” he said grabbing my hand, “ I will never hurt you, I promise” his words were reassuring. I almost trusted him that’s when I recalled how he humiliated me just few minutes ago.

I harshly pulled my hand back and faced the other way.

“what happened now?” he asked sighing through his nose.

Crunch

“tell me”

Crunch

“it is about the kiss?” he  enquired.

“yes”

“I can kiss you whole-“ he started. I abruptly turned to him

“now I get it” I said pointing acusing finger towards him

He is cannible who makes love to the victim before eating them.

“my sister warned me about the people like you” I accused standing up.

“hey hey hey, what now?”

“my dad’s in army, he will find you” I threatened.

“calm down”

“no”

He got up, slowly moved towards me.

“I will not hurt you”

“you will lure me to your bed and then eat me” I panicked “and if I don’t agree, you will force me then eat me” my breathing hitched.

I was close to panic attack.

“I shouldn’t have left my home”

He pulled me to his chest, holding me close.

“shhh”

“dad is right. I am just moron” its getting hard to breathe

“ava told me I should have listened to her”

“breath”

“I shouldn’t have snuck out”

“breath”

“debby left too” I whispered

“shhh..shh…shhh breath”

I could feel the vibrations of his chest as he talked

“its okay”

“I don’t want hand down..” I startd gasping for air

“you are safe” he whispered

“I am kidnapped”

“YOU ARE SAFE WIITH ME”

I don’t know what came over me but I want to believe every word he says. I want to just lay in his arm.

He kept speaking sweat words to me until I calmed down.

His face was tear stained too when I backed away from him

Strick 1: he rejects me when I kissed him

Strick 2: I had panic attack and spilled my miserable life in front of him

“you are crying” I croaked out, removing wet tears from his face.

he smiles, his smile is the most contagious smile I have ever seen

“you are safe with me” he repeated.

“I might be safe but I am hungry too” I laughed

He gestured towards to food

“aren’t you gonna eat?”

(“with you or you”) he mumbled something under his breath

“what?”

“coming”
