Precap

After they completed their work on me, I looked in the mirror at a face coated with makeup and beautifully curled hair. They changed me.

Why? I don't know.

For what? I don't know.

The only thing that I know is

Everything is messed up

Chapter 12: Locked with Him

Bretta handed me a blue masquerade eye mask. I put it on.

Bretta told me to stand with the other girls. Most of the girls were standing near the door. I went and stood there with them. All of them looked fabulous.

The door opened and everyone started standing in a line, one behind the other and left the room.

I followed behind them as I had no choice. This eye mask was not very comfortable. It had some sharp points or something that was very irritant.

I looked beside and saw that none of the girls was wearing their masks. So I removed it.

We reached in front of another door and stopped. A person came and was tying something on every girl's hands, after which they were allowed to go inside. I tried to catch a glimpse of the thing they were trying but couldn't see a thing. I was way back.

There are so many girls.

I kept walking behind them anyway.

Suddenly somebody took hold of my hand. I  froze due to the sudden action and slowly turned to look at the owner of the hand.

Oh, I know hum.

In fact, he is the reason I am here.

I even forgot I was trying to get out of this place.

John

"What the heck are you doing here", he angrily asked.

"Huh"?

"I had locked you in that room then how the heck did you get out? What the hell are you doing here dressed like that?".

Shouldn't I be the one asking questions?

Shouldn't I be the one who should be angry?

Why wasn't I saying something?

What is wrong with me?

They kidnapped me! I should be angry and I should be the one asking questions and escaping from here ASAP but.... here I am staring at him confused and not saying a word.

He had a stronghold on my hand. At least try to pull out your hand Isa!

But still, I was staring at him.

Stupid me!

"What is wrong with you?", He asked confused.

Then he called out to Bretta

"Yes Sir", Bretta asked.

"I am taking her", He said.

"But Sir---".

"I am taking her", he said with anger evident in his voice.

"Sorry Sir, As you wish".

Is something wrong with me? Why am I not saying anything? I am angry at myself but I didn't know what was happening.

"Stay here and do not move, Okay?", he said.

I nodded.

Okay, I have gone mad or else why would I listen to him? Why would I nod?

He walked to some men in black and started talking to them.

I stood there as I was said to do.

He came back and dragged me with him somewhere.

And I said nothing. Not at all surprising

He dragged me into an empty hallway.
He turned towards me.

"Don't take this personally"

With that, he took a small bottle of water from his pocket and poured it all over my head.

Where did it come from?

"What the hell", I shouted at him as he poured out all the water.

Great! Now I get my voice.

"Oh thank god", he muttered.

I was fuming with anger. How dare he?

I pushed him hard. "Why would you do that Huh? You kill someone then you kidnap me and now this. Do I look like a puppet to you Huh?".

"Hey look---"

"No no, you don't get to speak. You now listen To me. Who do you think you are Huh? Killing people, kidnapping people Huh? And him! I don't even want to say his name. You both are disgusting. What do you people think about yourself---"

He placed a hand over my mouth. "Be quiet", He whispers.

Seriously does he think I will keep quiet

"Do you--".

"I said to keep quiet", he ordered.

How dare he!

Why should I keep quiet?

Suddenly he pulled me towards a room with him.

"Hey just be keep quiet someone's coming this way".

Huh?

I could hear voices but I couldn't understand what they were saying.

I looked around the room. The bed was not made, Clothes were lying here and there, and Papers were scattered everywhere.

The voices were becoming more clear

"Shit!  They shouldn't see you. This may be their room", he muttered.

He looked around and quickly pushed me  towards the wall behind the door as if hiding me and wrapped an arm around my waist

"Hey, what-".

"Shut up". He placed a hand over my mouth.

I stared at him angrily. Then I noticed through the small space in the slightly open door that two men were standing outside.

"Hey I think I had forgotten to lock the door", One of the men said.

"You should be more careful. We don't want anyone finding out anything", the second one said.

"Ya! We should be careful or else they may find out the real reason we are here is not because of the party".

"We should quickly try to get the papers from them. They will be busy at the party. We should take the papers now".

"One sec let me take some things from the room".

"Don't forget the guns".

James was so close to me leaving little space between us as the man opened the door.

I didn't know what was happening but I hoped the man wouldn't see us. The man may be a dangerous one. They have guns.

We both stared at each other.

I was very uncomfortable with this position.

My hair was wet and I felt a shiver.

Heck! I don't want to even see him again. But here I am standing so close to him with his arm around me.

I wanted to push him and slap him.

But they have freaking guns

And I don't want to get into more and more trouble.

I could hear the man taking out things.

"Hurry".

The man went outside the room with whatever he wanted to take.

"Let's go. I have got everything".

"Don't forget to lock the door, We have some important stuff there".

Oh no!

Don't lock us in here

Not with him.

I was getting tense. John leaned towards the side of my face.

Oh god! What is he doing?

"Stay calm Dana or we both will get into a big problem thanks to you ", He whispered in my ear.

How could I be calm?

And who the hell is Dana?

And how dare he accuse me? They all are the root of this problem

Suddenly I hear the sound of the door being locked. This situation was making me so incredibly uncomfortable that I forgot we were being locked inside.

I am locked inside a room with Mr John

And he is not moving.
