Used To It

I heard a loud shot echoing through the house and my heart started pounding faster in my chest. Where I'm from you never hear gunshots. 

Maybe once in a while when somebody is trying to show off. But they don't actually kill people with it. There was a long period of silence for about five minutes.

Another shot echoed and my legs went numb. I heard loud footsteps coming towards the room so I hid under the bed. I covered my mouth with my hand before shutting my eyes. 

The door cracked open and the footsteps stopped at the edge of the bed. There was silence for a moment and I blinked twice.

Someone pulled me out from under the bed by my feet and I screamed loudly. 

"Please don't kill me." I begged with closed eyes.

"Fuck, Nevaeh. It's me." I heard Calix's voice so I slowly opened my eyes to look at him.

"Why would you do that?" I angrily yelled at him before hitting his chest.

"I'm sorry." He said before holding me against his chest and I froze. I'm not gonna hug him back. He's a kidnapper and I'm certain that he just killed somebody downstairs.

"We need to get out of here." He said in a husky tone and I just looked at him. I'm not allowed to talk, remember.

He grabbed a bag before throwing clothes into it, he looked over his shoulder at me before throwing a shirt and sweatpants into the bag, fresh clothes.

Come to think of it I need a shower, how long have I been here?

"Come." He said before walking out of the room. I walked behind him but he was extremely fast so I almost couldn't keep up.

We got outside and I raised my hand.

"Speak." He said and I hated myself for being so obedient.

"Where's your mom and dad?" I asked and he shrugged. "Then at least tell me where the little girl is." I said slowly.

"She's safe. I always make sure that she's safe." He said angrily and I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at him.

"Let's go." He said in his usual husky tone.

"Can't I just go home? You can't take me this far away from home without my consent." I said and he rolled his eyes at me. "It's illegal. I only turned eighteen a few months ago." I said and he frowned at me.

"Good so technically I have nothing to worry about." He said and I looked at him as if he was an alien.

"Please don't do this to me. Don't do this to my mom and dad. My aunt just passed from cancer." I said and he raised a single eyebrow at me.

"Our family has been through enough." I said sadly and he looked away from me. Ignorant bastard.

"We don't have to share our life stories Nevaeh. If I start telling you how many people I've lost you'd feel embarrassed to be throwing that in my face." He said blankly. 

"This is the mafia. Get used to it." He said with flared nostrils and I went back to just staring at him.

Great so he is also in the mafia. That explains the tattoos, the guns and the mansion.

We drove down to the airport before we climbed into a beautifully furnished jet and I looked around me in wonder. I've never been in an airplane before.

This is not how I imagined my first time on one either. 

Wait a minute. 

I have been on a plane before. That's how I got here in Spain in the first place. How many times did they drug me to keep me sedated?

"What are you doing?" Calix asked and I looked at him in shock.

"Me? Nothing." I said before taking a seat. He buckled my seatbelt and I shifted in my seat at his closeness. 

He took a seat opposite me and the plane started moving. After a while we went up into the air and I held onto my seatbelt.

I'm gonna throw up. Shrek looked at me in amusement. My sight suddenly started to become blurry and I felt tired.

"This is as close to heaven you're gonna get, Heaven." He said and I glared at him.

"A-Are you making fun of my name?" I asked and he scoffed at me. "How childish can you be?" I asked tiredly before looking out the window.

"I see you want to be punished again. Just know that I won't use the same punishments each time. But I'll make sure you enjoy it." He said before rolling his sleeves up. He sat back in his seat and continued to stare at me.

Awesome.

I'm totally comfortable with him watching me, while I'm hyperventilating because I'm afraid of heights. And as if that's not bad enough I have diabetes.

Oh shit! I haven't taken my shot in an entire day.

"Calix." I said in a worried tone and he frowned at me.

"It's daddy." He said and I frowned before exhaling. Whatever, as long as he listens.

"I'm diabetic." I said and his eyebrows raised. "And I need to take my next shot as soon as possible." I said in sudden panic.

"Why the fuck are you only telling me this now?" He asked angrily.

"Because I-I forgot." I said in fear.

"You forgot you have diabetes?" He asked and I felt extremely stupid.

"I was distracted!" I said and he ran his hand through his hair. 

"Stop the plane." He told one of the flight attendants. "Tell them to turn around." He demanded coldly and the girl nodded her head before scurrying away from us.

"I need to use the bathroom." I said when I felt that my bladder was full of urine. Calix unbuckled my seatbelt and I jolted to the bathroom.

I finished my business and washed my hands and face before going back outside.

"I n-need to eat something." I said painfully.

"What do you want to eat?" He asked and I couldn't think of anything.

"An energy bar is- fine." I said and he nodded before grabbing me one and handing it over to me. I bit into the bar and moaned in content.

"Am I gonna die?" I asked in panic and Calix frowned at me.

"No you're not gonna die." He calmly told me. He's handling this pretty good. "Do you need anything else?" He asked and I shook my head while eating my energy bar.

"Okay sit down." He said and we heard the pilot announce that we'd be landing in a few minutes.

"How long has it been since you kidnapped me?" I asked and he was silent for a moment.

"The flight was at least four hours. I think twenty." He said and I was ready to faint. I've never gone this long without my shot.

"Calix I need my shot, right now." I said in fear and his jaw clenched. Then my sight went blurry again.
