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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAWuooDo0NH1
484Please respect copyright.PENANA7XcXTLBLVp
The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"484Please respect copyright.PENANAKt7oXj1Yj4
484Please respect copyright.PENANANexNWwTSbk
The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.484Please respect copyright.PENANAriNn9l74k4
484Please respect copyright.PENANA90i1hojB5d
"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"484Please respect copyright.PENANA92N8ddEGGQ
484Please respect copyright.PENANAsQn9eFHb1e
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.484Please respect copyright.PENANAvdZst56fXX
484Please respect copyright.PENANAyBcsxpBZMk
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."484Please respect copyright.PENANAnPrSTB8BIy
484Please respect copyright.PENANAsyUxSkITku
"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.484Please respect copyright.PENANA97UKQ7mzJi
484Please respect copyright.PENANAM6WvyO9ZPx
"I did not say that."484Please respect copyright.PENANAAaD17ToiEL
484Please respect copyright.PENANAp6QXyFWruA
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAiIgWvnUuMP
484Please respect copyright.PENANAarweonlZi0
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.484Please respect copyright.PENANAIg45qQBPoa
484Please respect copyright.PENANA0VEsgSlZ2A
"Because you wanted me to do it."484Please respect copyright.PENANAx03r0ZLvyO
484Please respect copyright.PENANAp1lKzGW9Ke
"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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAr3UY6GBx6w
484Please respect copyright.PENANAUFLshzbspW
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAbjAjapsXyl
484Please respect copyright.PENANAU3VAWOCLbE
With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.484Please respect copyright.PENANApljCWKb6hb
484Please respect copyright.PENANAQg32X9m6wj
484Please respect copyright.PENANAGDt5zjRtBT
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAimI5W8aDMH
484Please respect copyright.PENANAHScNuiwxQe
"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.484Please respect copyright.PENANAoFMjnG9XR9
484Please respect copyright.PENANAqZ7o54Vaqi
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANA6GYCoTJ3T1
484Please respect copyright.PENANA7jYQLqHWyq
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAqFwmYSOQmF
484Please respect copyright.PENANA0z5DwhJD0v
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAoBNlsAy8Ji
484Please respect copyright.PENANA4nk5akvtRb
"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.484Please respect copyright.PENANAUNyRZQZlRH
484Please respect copyright.PENANA0UzIncQDCD
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.484Please respect copyright.PENANAomqe7a6iza
484Please respect copyright.PENANA0lIi5qUXDY
"Oh, don't do that. I'm not going to hurt you."484Please respect copyright.PENANAS5RUfpWlX2
484Please respect copyright.PENANA9HRJBfFeC9
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAndo2s9UKjL
484Please respect copyright.PENANAzHKaumYeLd
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.484Please respect copyright.PENANAKBCRnGw0dp
484Please respect copyright.PENANAmANF9WZt83
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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAumsmZsLZ6f
484Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2qXzlfm4W
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAP3YLVLAl10
