Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Eight

“I heard sounds coming from this room. Who’s in there?” I asked him.

“Come.” He said, avoiding my question.

“No. I want to know who is in there.”

A flicker of annoyance crossed his face before he walked toward me. Maybe he knew his sudden disappearances and reappearances were already unsettling me–but I doubted he cared. Maybe he just didn’t feel like doing it this time.

He took out a key from the pocket of his jeans and unlocked the door; his eyes remained on me. It took all my strength to tear my gaze away and look into the room. There, locked up in the room, were three girls- they were around my age, though the one in the middle seemed a few years older. They looked afraid, but no tears ran down their faces, even though they were chained up like animals. Maybe I had imagined the sounds after all.

“You kidnapped them,” I said, totally mortified. I shouldn’t be surprised by his actions, and yet, I was. I was surprised because I didn’t want to believe that the Trian I knew was gone; despite everything, I still held onto the part of him that I believed was real. I wasn’t ready to let go.

“No, I didn’t kidnap them; they came here willingly.”

“Just as I came here willingly.” I said, realization dawned on me; I would be just like them. Soon, I would be chained up like an animal.
