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.499Please respect copyright.PENANA6PNm7TZ5WG
499Please respect copyright.PENANAsQG5NKRorC
The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"499Please respect copyright.PENANAWNJgg6UJNl
499Please respect copyright.PENANAqZOtAJOzKr
The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.499Please respect copyright.PENANAVnSfA5n8ih
499Please respect copyright.PENANAKJ27kF2Lg6
"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"499Please respect copyright.PENANAbUlVKjD0ZA
499Please respect copyright.PENANANhDKvxNDB2
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.499Please respect copyright.PENANAb8fNpOnbC0
499Please respect copyright.PENANA9aEOHDXupz
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."499Please respect copyright.PENANAFxKOqMuzsj
499Please respect copyright.PENANArQVvmggw0B
"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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAfTnz0YxV5B
499Please respect copyright.PENANAd5ne7G0Uj9
"I did not say that."499Please respect copyright.PENANAuXOxfWlXkv
499Please respect copyright.PENANA1ML2G3Lpu9
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAyI8ImoCmqc
499Please respect copyright.PENANAxAq6gTJJue
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.499Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0vEk41LdY
499Please respect copyright.PENANArt7mqIx4AW
"Because you wanted me to do it."499Please respect copyright.PENANAG7WfAmNrMv
499Please respect copyright.PENANA6PBML3XPNe
"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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAHmAGGnD2uZ
499Please respect copyright.PENANA8lzi2Ndv8l
"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."499Please respect copyright.PENANAo2f6byHsrW
499Please respect copyright.PENANAq2UHHBoygw
With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.499Please respect copyright.PENANAjvmCfgLlVS
499Please respect copyright.PENANAylolBIISYY
499Please respect copyright.PENANAPp55tPsbbK
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANApRlUSgb7Ol
499Please respect copyright.PENANARdc3VhvjBL
"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.499Please respect copyright.PENANARsVsmcwNDj
499Please respect copyright.PENANAwBSMRW1VRr
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANA2jw99bv4bO
499Please respect copyright.PENANA0xwPj9i0Hk
"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."499Please respect copyright.PENANAFehWdKUQKf
499Please respect copyright.PENANAfVS2NggVk4
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAhlI3RN9UUX
499Please respect copyright.PENANABKSZWN5YVP
"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.499Please respect copyright.PENANAWry7SQihrQ
499Please respect copyright.PENANAIAk88bcn3V
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.499Please respect copyright.PENANA2KvQcevUhA
499Please respect copyright.PENANAVem5q68Gx1
"Oh, don't do that. I'm not going to hurt you."499Please respect copyright.PENANATtrpaFPs8i
499Please respect copyright.PENANAfc90J3ir0b
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANAMyhYc0I6Kc
499Please respect copyright.PENANACr28nwsKWa
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.499Please respect copyright.PENANATRAp10LAeL
499Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ws7Fy0GLx
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."499Please respect copyright.PENANAmdjbaJLVh9
499Please respect copyright.PENANAEsKi9VLyci
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.499Please respect copyright.PENANANVwEeHzwAP
