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.522Please respect copyright.PENANAd886VdAzzk
522Please respect copyright.PENANAJORnqG4gGv
The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"522Please respect copyright.PENANACZiusVKMzG
522Please respect copyright.PENANAjuGhPhPLUA
The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.522Please respect copyright.PENANAP6fdQDQj2r
522Please respect copyright.PENANAi9xixOeMo1
"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"522Please respect copyright.PENANAiiM7UXWlcT
522Please respect copyright.PENANAcDk4C0uipI
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.522Please respect copyright.PENANAik6anHgYZv
522Please respect copyright.PENANAReMd6lNepu
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."522Please respect copyright.PENANAcrIX4pDd3g
522Please respect copyright.PENANAzQYOdijQFF
"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.522Please respect copyright.PENANA99htU0mrGp
522Please respect copyright.PENANAELosMVAP1K
"I did not say that."522Please respect copyright.PENANARq2Rgu6jxB
522Please respect copyright.PENANA4dbWHxEPYm
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.522Please respect copyright.PENANA7IIdcBs6st
522Please respect copyright.PENANAwbbc6HHfdy
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.522Please respect copyright.PENANAVBz4ZrzmYt
522Please respect copyright.PENANAvNh76H4kjD
"Because you wanted me to do it."522Please respect copyright.PENANAqWGnhmjPrq
522Please respect copyright.PENANAvH0i9nj4fB
"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.522Please respect copyright.PENANAZGahkcFhX6
522Please respect copyright.PENANAOzUTU8CiCD
"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."522Please respect copyright.PENANAC2vhQ2Ks7F
522Please respect copyright.PENANAQGnRIqcVNy
With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.522Please respect copyright.PENANAEXAAiJfeqH
522Please respect copyright.PENANAryquf1yuIE
522Please respect copyright.PENANAEBgOWMrsm8
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.522Please respect copyright.PENANArsngYm8iEe
522Please respect copyright.PENANA6eqBGY6GzQ
"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.522Please respect copyright.PENANAqn7rJIF2GB
522Please respect copyright.PENANAnURylPV1oh
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.522Please respect copyright.PENANA4b3LX7GqAJ
522Please respect copyright.PENANAwPSZe9g6xI
"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."522Please respect copyright.PENANAmzPBU58BqD
522Please respect copyright.PENANA0FLeaXY3Ra
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.522Please respect copyright.PENANAB6dKhWEttL
522Please respect copyright.PENANAuahm0AUUGH
"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.522Please respect copyright.PENANATwyFpUk5A2
522Please respect copyright.PENANAljc5uAFSiW
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.522Please respect copyright.PENANAbi4cq6ZDGZ
522Please respect copyright.PENANANhlnuQi43c
"Oh, don't do that. I'm not going to hurt you."522Please respect copyright.PENANA7ebUot4WGi
522Please respect copyright.PENANAYj4MSiDuz3
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.522Please respect copyright.PENANAuOGQYyLC6S
522Please respect copyright.PENANAdZH3vzhtLs
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.522Please respect copyright.PENANA1YWaju6JNW
522Please respect copyright.PENANAHZ0TKIG8bF
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."522Please respect copyright.PENANAAjjWAtoF0Q
522Please respect copyright.PENANAGoYelPUMs8
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.522Please respect copyright.PENANARrjQSNHJLd
