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.524Please respect copyright.PENANAcVXZTNIEj5
524Please respect copyright.PENANAS23UPbbS40
The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"524Please respect copyright.PENANAVBMvPFSJN4
524Please respect copyright.PENANA1IaHzkOq0N
The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.524Please respect copyright.PENANAsreo7RCdAA
524Please respect copyright.PENANAhyMO2rkPy3
"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"524Please respect copyright.PENANAbrr9oAGwD5
524Please respect copyright.PENANAzfy3lCw3Yw
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.524Please respect copyright.PENANAbgfz04v99s
524Please respect copyright.PENANAdF5Hpv2drI
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."524Please respect copyright.PENANAhIht1l9i4z
524Please respect copyright.PENANAiqBkH8uNAM
"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.524Please respect copyright.PENANAQuTYYHUUHY
524Please respect copyright.PENANAfd7T7UGytD
"I did not say that."524Please respect copyright.PENANAQhSGATO9px
524Please respect copyright.PENANAXZzoktwrOZ
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.524Please respect copyright.PENANA7UGo3RcOCL
524Please respect copyright.PENANAs77BayslYv
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.524Please respect copyright.PENANALAs0sa1mRc
524Please respect copyright.PENANACYb2EKzPWo
"Because you wanted me to do it."524Please respect copyright.PENANACgWoPtPLm4
524Please respect copyright.PENANAcn8k7NuWEG
"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.524Please respect copyright.PENANAEAZnXPNeNS
524Please respect copyright.PENANA7OtuFfzCcA
"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."524Please respect copyright.PENANAY3q1fw5txb
524Please respect copyright.PENANANF8fRa7w4Y
With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.524Please respect copyright.PENANAS9eIdKmR4E
524Please respect copyright.PENANAY0qvsutQWm
524Please respect copyright.PENANA4go7qJ15gd
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.524Please respect copyright.PENANAjyhnBEu5TG
524Please respect copyright.PENANAgCjMV6tuwL
"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.524Please respect copyright.PENANAddrvDkSxgC
524Please respect copyright.PENANALf0YStYVlF
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.524Please respect copyright.PENANAACXXokQGle
524Please respect copyright.PENANA1ETfD47vLh
"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."524Please respect copyright.PENANAeHw6GbnMjj
524Please respect copyright.PENANAWdNAC1p2t5
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.524Please respect copyright.PENANA7an0zBiGnX
524Please respect copyright.PENANAIt2M87eVpk
"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.524Please respect copyright.PENANAFTAWChj9KG
524Please respect copyright.PENANAGDGUc919JH
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.524Please respect copyright.PENANAtpwOnAWQ7l
524Please respect copyright.PENANAMzzf5RTVk4
"Oh, don't do that. I'm not going to hurt you."524Please respect copyright.PENANAHzAn9Yqmpm
524Please respect copyright.PENANAqEr8t5Nd5q
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.524Please respect copyright.PENANAbICSpxs1k5
524Please respect copyright.PENANAWy3UtO3xZ7
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.524Please respect copyright.PENANAz0TiZFQQeG
524Please respect copyright.PENANACASbOfiBYL
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."524Please respect copyright.PENANAOXGWPrd1Xh
524Please respect copyright.PENANAhzjRJxKa4W
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.524Please respect copyright.PENANA3jojrIrYCb
