In Love with a Kidnapper - Episode 5

 

A bright glare hit my eyes that made me startle and fall off the bed.
” Ouch,” I grumbled rubbing my head. I opened my eyes widely, this wasn’t my room. I looked around, trying to remember what happened last night.
” Yo,” a soft but cold voice talked below me. I looked down, I was on top of… Nathan?!
” Could you get off of me please?” He chuckled
“Ah…” I began, looking at my clothes, I was wearing a green shirt with some short shorts . I suddenly remembered, I was nearly raped, and Nathan let me sleep with him because I was scared… why did I go to Nathan? I examined Nathan who I was lying on.
” Did you, sleep on the floor?” I asked randomly.
” Well…” he began trying to find the right words, ” You sorta move a lot when you sleep,” he chuckled. I felt embarrassed. A sudden knock came at the door, and the door opened before I could jump off.
” Good Morni- What the?!” a familiar blond model looking boy walked in the room; Cole. He stammered and immediately closed the door. I looked at the door and I looked back at me and Nathan, and the position we were in. If there was an embarrassment award I think I would be getting it

. Nathan suddenly coughed.
” Sorry!” I blurted and jumped off beside him.
” Its alright, lets just go before more ruckus starts,” he said in a whisper tone. I gave him a slight nod, and he opened the door widely, Cole stumbled face flat onto the ground.
” Yo~” Cole smiled. He was eavesdropping.
” What do you want Cole,” Nathan sighed. It looks like he wasn’t even going to bother explaining what I was doing in his room.
” Well, breakfast is ready and sorry for interrupting something ,” He chuckled.
” Wait, its not what you think,” I began to stammer random words trying to explain what happened and my hands swayed everywhere, but Cole just laughed and walked out of the room. Cole took a small glance at me and gave a worried look. It felt confused.
” Well I highly doubt you will get raped first thing in the morning so if you don’t mind I would like it if you leave my room now,” he began looking the other direction and headed for the washroom door.
” yeah…” I said silently for some reason I felt depressed. If Nathan didn’t want me to be in his room then why did he let me come in last night?
I walked out of the room and Aunt Marie passed by and gave me a confuse look. Great the wicked witch of the west had returned, someone get me a house.
” S--t,” she grumbled under her breath,
” B---h,” I whispered back, she pursed her lips, I’m guessing she heard it.
I walked through the halls trying to find my own room, it was difficult because all the doors looked the same. It has been three days since I was kidnapped and I felt like I was more in a home than being kidnapped. Why didn’t my father reply back the threat? Half of me wanted to go home and get back to my usual life with Jake. The other half wanted to stay, but I didn’t understand why.
Without caution, in the corner of my eye I saw a shadow figure, which triggered a new reflex that made me swing a kick. It was directly blocked.
” Wow, cautious one you are, don’t worry I’m not like my idiotic brother,” The shadow figure said and walked into the light. It was Peter. His black hair glistered in the lighting it was roughly combed and he wore baggy jeans with a stripped top.
” Oh , hey Peter,” I smiled putting my leg down. He was staring at me for a while then turned his head away. I gave him a confuse look.
” I think,” he began silently, ” that you should stay away from Nathan,” he turned and gave me a sharp look. His eyes were serious and mysterious, it was hard not to look away from them.
” If you know whats good for you,” he smiled and walked down the stairs What is with this family and their life threatening threats? I sighed. What can Peter do? I searched my room and got changed.
The day was at its usual, besides the threat I got from Peter, I usually stayed in my room or played sports with Cole in the Sport room. Then whenever I pass by Aunt Marie we had our little showdown as we passed by. Whenever Cole had left for me to stay in my room I would sneak out and hear Nathan play his violin then sneak back before anyone could notice.
I closed the secret small entrance walked down the darkened hallway, I never got tired of the fresh Vanilla scent that filled my senses. It was around 9:40 now. I looked outside the window, the sun was setting beautifully. I looked onto the side, there was the house Cole had told me before, it was Daniels place. It couldn’t hurt to check it out right?I’m lucky I might be able to find a computer to email for my kidnapping. I slid down the railing quietly trying to not catch any attention. I passed the dining room, I could hear Robert laughing with Aunt Marie, they sounded like they were having fun. I went through the back, to the garden, It looked beautiful at night, the sound of the fountain was soothing and the scent of flowers flowed the entire place. Colourfully infusion popped right at your eyes once you enter the garden. I travelled around to find the entrance to the house, there was a small gate I had to climb to get there. I pounced at the gate and fell down, shock wave hit my ankles a bit, but ignored it. By the time I got closer one of the windows had a light turned on. Great someone was there. I felt like Indiana Jones who had no choice but to move forward only I had the choice to turn back. I looked behind me, I came all the way here to just turn back, I’d rather see whats in the house before I go.
I crept up the window glass to see who was in here. Inside it looked like a Japanese Karate Dojo. There was tiled wood on the ground, and small hangers with swords and daggers. At the front showed a picture of a Japanese man that hanged on the wall, below it was another sword. There were two other rooms but instead of a door it had a curtain. In the middle of the room was Daniel, He wore a white baggy karate pants and he was shirtless, he looked a little sweaty. He held a wooden bamboo sword and was swinging it up and down practising. His stance and his figure was amazing I couldn’t take my eyes off him until he looked straight at the window. I ducked.
” I can see you,” he chuckled. D--n they got good eyes sight.
” Darn,” I mumbled and got up, and walked to the door, he was already waiting at the front. I had a feeling I will be getting another flip to my doom. I chuckled at that thought.
” So what are you doing here?” I asked, already knowing the answer.
” Practising,” He said, wiping his forehead from sweat, from up close he looked like a model that juts got dunked of water in slow motion.
” By just swinging the sword up and down?” I asked, it didn’t look like much of practising.
” Its harder than you think,” he chuckled ” You have to get the cut straight and smooth,” he explained. He took a glance at me.
” Would you like to try?” He asked. My eyes widened, it looked pretty fun but I had a sense I will have to duel him in swords soon after.
” You won’t flip me if I do it wrong right?” I asked cautiously, he laughed.
” Of course not,” he smiled and invited me in.
Inside it was brighter than I thought it was when I was spying in. The smell of fresh pine and sweat his me fast, it took me a while to get use to it. Daniel threw me a bamboo sword and I stumbled to catch it. He laughed and then showed me how to hold the sword. I lifted my arms and took a big swing downward. It was a crocked cut. It was harder than I thought. I attempted a few times but they were all crocked. I suddenly felt a warm body heat wrap around me, It was Daniel. His hands soon wrapped around me to my hands where I was holding the sword. I clenched thinking I might get flipped again.
” Relax,” He whispered behind me, ” the cut must be smooth and quiet but fast and swift,” he repeated.
I took in a deep breath and both of our hands lifted up together and swung down fast. It banged onto the ground but it was straight.
” Well, at least you got the smooth and fast part,” he smiled, still warped around me. He didn’t bother to let go.
” T-Thanks,” I began to stutter, we were so close. ” You can let go now,” I chuckled. Daniel soon let go and grabbed his sword that was lying against the wall. Soon after he taught me how to block, I mirrored his movements and it took me about five minutes to memorize his footwork.
” ‘Kay, Ready?” he asked.
” Wait, ready for what?” I instantly replied but he came charging at me with his sword. He took a straight swing, and I blocked, It was intense. We both moved around in the room hitting and blocking each others swings. It was quite fun, the vibrations from the swords clashing made a rush through my head. He smiled and I smiled back. After a few minutes of clashing swords my legs soon went off balance and I stumbled onto the ground,
” Looks like I win,” Daniel said, pointing the sword at my face. I chuckled, the sword was awfully close. I shifted back a bit and got up, I felt a slight pain on my left ankle. I felt a little unbalanced.
” Well that was fun,” I smiled. He looked at me weirdly.
” Something wrong with your leg?” He asked, I gave him a confused look and looked at my leg, my whole left ankle was swollen, it had a purple bruise on it. No wonder I felt off balance.
” Oh, I must have gotten that when I climbed over the fence…” I began and then noticing what I was saying.
” You climbed over the fence?!” He asked warningly making it sound extreme.
” I was curious, this is nothing really!” I said stepping back but a sharp pain hit my left ankle making me trip backwards. I closed my eyes and got ready for impact. I felt a small grip hold onto my arm, and soon I was pulled back up, to Daniels chest. His heartbeat was soft.
” Don’t do anything so reckless,” He sighed.
” S-sorry,” I whispered. He was so close. I never seen Daniel being the comfort type. After a few moments he let go and swung me around and picked me up in a piggy back stance.
” Gah! What are you doing?!” I yelled, holding tightly around Daniels neck.
” Well I doubt you can walk all the way back to your room with that leg,” he chuckled, ” you might fall face flat,”. I sighed, he was right, with this leg I might not even make up two steps without falling down. Its like walking home with your shoelaces tied together.
It took us at least five minutes from his to carry me to the entrance, he was fast. We took the back door and lead to the kitchen, there stood Peter who was drinking a glass of milk. Daniel put me down on the chair and Peter ran towards us.
” Are you okay?!” he asked.
” Yeah I’m-” I began, and then I looked up, Peter was talking to Daniel not me. Peter had his hand on Daniels cheek and they were very close. Daniel gave a small smile.
” Yeah of course,” Daniel smiled not even noticing how close Peter was to him. I was speechless. Could Daniel and Peter be…?
Suddenly the light turned on.
” Yo,” a soft sleepy voice had echoed and woken me up from my train of thought, I looked up it was Nathan who was wearing red boxers and a black shirt, his hair was all messy, did we wake up him?
” Whats everyone doing up so early,” Nathan yawned, he looked cute when he did that. He took a small glance at Daniel and Peter, a weird vibe was sent around this room, then turned to me. His eyes widened and he rushed to me.
” You okay Kim?” He gave me a worried look, was he acting because Peter was there or was he really caring? I blinked at him for a while trying to read his face. It was hard to tell.
” Yeah, Its just a sprain or it could be a bruise, from jumping over the fence,” I smiled. His eyes widened more.
” I was just curious! This is nothing!” I blurted out. Nathan sighed. Peter was now leaning on the counter while Daniel was taking a big chug of water down his throat. Peter was staring at Nathan very oddly, which made me feel uncomfortable. I could tell Nathan didn’t like it either.
” Whatever,” He looked away, ” Lets get you to your room,” Nathan said as he picked me up bridal style. Whats up with these guys and picking me up? I could totally go for a help around the shoulder thing so I can still walk, not with my two feet off the ground when being picked up.
As we walked up stairs it was mostly silent, and I never got a chance to ask Nathan about Lucy.
Nathan threw me onto his bed.
” Um, this isn’t my room,” I said, looking around, It was cleaner now.
” I know, but because of last night and your little counteract between Aunt Marie this morning and how she saw you leaving my room, she thought she would get to sleep in your room tonight instead of sleeping on the couch, leaving us sleeping together,” He sighed.
” Oh…” I whispered. Why can’t the old hag sleep on the couch. There was silence now.
” Hey Nathan,” I began, he looked up but not fully looking at my eyes, ” Who’s Lucy?” I asked. At that instant Nathan flinched when I said her name. I’m guessing this wasn’t a pleasant story, remembering the time Aunt Marie threatened me telling me how Nathan was heartbroken in his last relationship.
He sighed.
” Where did you hear that? ” He whispered, trying to keep his temper.
” Aunt Marie,” I answer quietly.
” Oh… well its none of your business,” Nathan said turning his face away. He was grinning.
” Please? For me?” I asked, I gave him a pout look.
” You can cut the girlfriend boyfriend act, your still a hostage to me,” He said, coldly. My head flowed in disappointment. He looked at me in the corner of his eye.
” Tomorrow, Its getting late to tell a story,” He said, trying to refocus what he was saying. My face brightened. He sighed. I laid on the corner side of the bed to give him space but I felt a slight tug that pulled me closer. I smiled and dozed off to sleep.
