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.330Please respect copyright.PENANAS6G1Guqs8n
330Please respect copyright.PENANAbDxYkh2kZQ
The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"330Please respect copyright.PENANAfzBqWdbhUB
330Please respect copyright.PENANA9rUAGGtHf1
The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.330Please respect copyright.PENANAIDTjN4tVsA
330Please respect copyright.PENANAyhipg6fdRS
"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"330Please respect copyright.PENANAiqLrrKePLo
330Please respect copyright.PENANAThc5xNQUeG
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.330Please respect copyright.PENANA9hy8yp4OxM
330Please respect copyright.PENANAl5LOzbSjPh
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."330Please respect copyright.PENANA2MgVByt5o2
330Please respect copyright.PENANAtsPTiOgogU
"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.330Please respect copyright.PENANAeEKg35BJNr
330Please respect copyright.PENANAsdSqQ1tIju
"I did not say that."330Please respect copyright.PENANAs0mLCQB8sZ
330Please respect copyright.PENANAB1yDD0SOJb
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.330Please respect copyright.PENANAviGeFpGY3H
330Please respect copyright.PENANABXKf6bKCw4
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.330Please respect copyright.PENANA2pPNtbY4N1
330Please respect copyright.PENANAx2p5Dsz3Bc
"Because you wanted me to do it."330Please respect copyright.PENANAytOjkaDbDe
330Please respect copyright.PENANAtsdvZEyaFz
"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.330Please respect copyright.PENANAowa27jZzlM
330Please respect copyright.PENANAeYHcuA4Ipe
"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."330Please respect copyright.PENANA61QVtiF74T
330Please respect copyright.PENANAuU4qwzv2Ms
With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.330Please respect copyright.PENANAu5CbcvOJYM

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.330Please respect copyright.PENANAGQpXKeiK8j
330Please respect copyright.PENANAy6C6ILTp2i
"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.330Please respect copyright.PENANAEihBImc70A
330Please respect copyright.PENANAqxbpFgEL6m
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.330Please respect copyright.PENANAtt4EdyFtkN
330Please respect copyright.PENANA9KZNevhJll
"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."330Please respect copyright.PENANA7I1W9GFs04
330Please respect copyright.PENANAHFzcQFWqIW
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.330Please respect copyright.PENANAkSPRDlR74h
330Please respect copyright.PENANAPRkhz78tw3
"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.330Please respect copyright.PENANAeK2xjCf1lk
330Please respect copyright.PENANAlTJ7VrQS6l
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.330Please respect copyright.PENANAWywuIqDy22
330Please respect copyright.PENANA973yPfwKjm
"Oh, don't do that. I'm not going to hurt you."330Please respect copyright.PENANAnDLRfr5BrM
330Please respect copyright.PENANAh8AtEIBJRJ
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.330Please respect copyright.PENANABetpwFuDSq
330Please respect copyright.PENANAa9SDpOU9y1
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.330Please respect copyright.PENANABDuzEjEKqV
330Please respect copyright.PENANAjJ9cvoBiHk
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."330Please respect copyright.PENANA0jdo1YQSl9
330Please respect copyright.PENANAriQBVeWrLY
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.330Please respect copyright.PENANAXDadmwXz2Z
