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.515Please respect copyright.PENANAV7HQFAMlKz
515Please respect copyright.PENANATVh9AkeQej
The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"515Please respect copyright.PENANAiSDxGaVP7f
515Please respect copyright.PENANA2vRn69fAk3
The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.515Please respect copyright.PENANA6rJ8OzWnTx
515Please respect copyright.PENANAXHzNVydS01
"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"515Please respect copyright.PENANApYfAcMlJWY
515Please respect copyright.PENANA9cTBtTnz4G
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.515Please respect copyright.PENANAMzsXPgyvbX
515Please respect copyright.PENANAbRsU3kklO7
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."515Please respect copyright.PENANAj1m6CIkMIX
515Please respect copyright.PENANAJMStejb5H8
"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.515Please respect copyright.PENANAcAH5v5YM8Y
515Please respect copyright.PENANAMG68FIDf7j
"I did not say that."515Please respect copyright.PENANA1cBzKcgRMU
515Please respect copyright.PENANAlzoTTnn24y
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.515Please respect copyright.PENANA8EC9ON7b8B
515Please respect copyright.PENANANiAE8vZOBW
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.515Please respect copyright.PENANAi2ccUqLO1q
515Please respect copyright.PENANAUqEQUWKJ2I
"Because you wanted me to do it."515Please respect copyright.PENANAozWycVSJAB
515Please respect copyright.PENANAfhuW91EJNr
"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.515Please respect copyright.PENANARcCtHCLcpi
515Please respect copyright.PENANAqbTJZ39773
"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."515Please respect copyright.PENANAe38pxAZLbX
515Please respect copyright.PENANAeu2rCdHqWR
With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.515Please respect copyright.PENANA67SctOgvXL
515Please respect copyright.PENANAkjpOY0QBFI
515Please respect copyright.PENANAn1zGLi5nGI
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.515Please respect copyright.PENANA87xASvdppY
515Please respect copyright.PENANAsLU7sds51j
"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.515Please respect copyright.PENANA62IsVZN1q0
515Please respect copyright.PENANA1aSDbr4ElQ
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.515Please respect copyright.PENANAU2zQYCkYM7
515Please respect copyright.PENANAjCI4yHe9Ju
"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."515Please respect copyright.PENANAXely0cULb6
515Please respect copyright.PENANAJlAJAIXfpY
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.515Please respect copyright.PENANAfGxmrISjr2
515Please respect copyright.PENANAecLKLrf56q
"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.515Please respect copyright.PENANASQMK1orsib
515Please respect copyright.PENANAEw2GhCxwU9
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.515Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3QwKPLpkT
515Please respect copyright.PENANAGbDp9SzB4B
"Oh, don't do that. I'm not going to hurt you."515Please respect copyright.PENANAXmD472tptZ
515Please respect copyright.PENANAnOsph4kaxR
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.515Please respect copyright.PENANAaC5Zjf7jIO
515Please respect copyright.PENANAQAumG9lGeT
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.515Please respect copyright.PENANAuQBbfe4Wqp
515Please respect copyright.PENANAkino29H4We
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."515Please respect copyright.PENANAuTtmQ0GYOT
515Please respect copyright.PENANApyA5jbjvdT
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.515Please respect copyright.PENANAT4107cYpOG
