The next time I opened my eyes, I thought I was blind. The bed I lay on creaked as I moved, and there was a smell of decay. My nose twitched and I felt my stomach turn. I wanted to throw up from the stench, but before I made any sort of decision, the door on the other side of the room opened, then closed. Footsteps came closer to me, and then stopped.514Please respect copyright.PENANADTfDKwnSAq
514Please respect copyright.PENANA7h9GkLGRxS
The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"514Please respect copyright.PENANA3sEZTu1clp
514Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8d7DTgttV
The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.514Please respect copyright.PENANA3T9456c4Ra
514Please respect copyright.PENANAWvyZkaIMcT
"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"514Please respect copyright.PENANAiO45LIFcPF
514Please respect copyright.PENANARpdSGqe1i1
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.514Please respect copyright.PENANAMmax8mZoN7
514Please respect copyright.PENANAg3lC9NlKUm
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."514Please respect copyright.PENANAdBgXdOXpUs
514Please respect copyright.PENANAKhT9wBnC60
"But you just said you were going to kill me," I muttered angrily. I didn't want to die. But I wanted this fucker to make up his mind.514Please respect copyright.PENANARWBOyHJAcc
514Please respect copyright.PENANA9wnGINML6X
"I did not say that."514Please respect copyright.PENANApAnw32cNor
514Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7vsEiQX4Z
He moved slowly, and his hand touched my neck, his fingers curling around my windpipe. He didn't press, just tested, but I didn't move a muscle. Then he leaned forward and his lips touched mine. It was only for a few seconds, but it was enough for me to not lose myself.514Please respect copyright.PENANA7akptCwtyF
514Please respect copyright.PENANA80VDlNDsVg
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.514Please respect copyright.PENANAAX9cLoYk5x
514Please respect copyright.PENANA0feEjVd9Bo
"Because you wanted me to do it."514Please respect copyright.PENANAE72P3cuSke
514Please respect copyright.PENANA5FhlkbLvMc
"How do you know that?" I said, sitting up slightly. I hated that I couldn't see his face. I wanted to know who I was talking to. Who knew this one particular secret about me. "Who are you?" I hissed.514Please respect copyright.PENANALXLQG6AZVW
514Please respect copyright.PENANA0sZeN1FZeb
"Don't worry," he whispered. His hands were on either side of my body now, and he was on his knees in front of me. Again, he pressed his mouth to mine and I could taste something salty on his tongue. When he pulled away, I let out a slow breath. "You'll find out soon enough, Jared."514Please respect copyright.PENANABrBz2HgRZS
514Please respect copyright.PENANAUlcwGsVQP0
With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.514Please respect copyright.PENANAVx2GVNgCWL
514Please respect copyright.PENANArRMzmFsBh6
514Please respect copyright.PENANALnWor4FhfE
I must have fallen asleep, because when I opened my eyes again, I could see the window and the sunlight streaming through it. The rotten smell from before was gone, replaced by a fresh scent, and I could now see that the room I was in looked very much like a teenager's; there were posters plastered to the walls, a computer in the far corner, and clothes thrown on the floor.514Please respect copyright.PENANA0o3YPp1DD8
514Please respect copyright.PENANAtuAnCKavyx
"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.514Please respect copyright.PENANAwiXkf5rfM1
514Please respect copyright.PENANAIYJuh3IJZg
I looked up into a part of deep blue eyes, almost sapphire, a crooked smile and dark hair. I blinked, trying to get my brain to work right, to remember that this guy, though handsome, was a kidnapper and possible killer.514Please respect copyright.PENANAlWvqH6sEkW
514Please respect copyright.PENANATAtvaOwnDK
"I'm sorry about my rudeness last night. I'm having a hard time sleeping, you see, and I've been a little on edge."514Please respect copyright.PENANAfPoaFAQrXa
514Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2nMgTY6AV
He sat down next to me and I could see that he was wearing a pair of ratty jeans and a band shirt. He wasn't facing me so I couldn't see the name on the shirt, not that it mattered.514Please respect copyright.PENANAyPHnmkExE3
514Please respect copyright.PENANAwWZgcPuTkS
"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.514Please respect copyright.PENANApBcPHkXmw8
514Please respect copyright.PENANAiCOobM3mqp
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.514Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4q1EGjZmd
514Please respect copyright.PENANAMdQYvrdyqr
"Oh, don't do that. I'm not going to hurt you."514Please respect copyright.PENANAkgOWLRzyg4
514Please respect copyright.PENANA0g1GoPAWtN
He moved closer to me, his arm brushed mine. I wanted to get away from him, badly, but my body wouldn't let me. In the back of my mind, I wanted to know how he knew something so personal about me, when no one else knew. I didn't really advertise my being gay, so I didn't know how he figured it out.514Please respect copyright.PENANAcRbCNdcsoO
514Please respect copyright.PENANAScw7A7LRgq
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.514Please respect copyright.PENANA1EoQw04ge0
514Please respect copyright.PENANAaJp6WzZZ8D
A smile tugged at the boy's lips before he lifted his hand and wrapped his fingers in my hair. "No," he said, his voice thick with sudden anger. "I won't. That's not what you want."514Please respect copyright.PENANAk4z1s23InW
514Please respect copyright.PENANAJt5Ms2s5dm
What I wanted was something I was sure he wouldn't give me anytime soon. I didn't want to be on the outside anymore.514Please respect copyright.PENANAODT7a4TjKg
