I woke up feeling dizzy. I opened up my eyes but all I can see right now is darkness. Am I blind now?
I can’t remember anything about me being blind so this one is really bothering me. What happened? All I can remember was that I had a fight with the gangsters so I walked away from them to breathe then suddenly.....
I heard a loud slamming of the door and footsteps approaching my direction now. There, I confirmed that I’m currently blindfolded and I can’t move my hands because I’m also handcuffed.
I am not that stupid not to realize that am kidnapped right now. Someone covered my nose a while ago until everything went black. I am assuming that they took me inside that white van that I last saw before I lost my senses and I’ve been asleep just until right now that I can no longer do anything to escape.
“You’re finally awake, kid,” the man in front of me said which scared the hell out of me.
His husky voice is like that of the movies that I have watched before every time that there is a kidnap scene. Just thinking of him holding a gun while looking at me right now is already sending chills all over my body.
I won’t deny how afraid I am right now but I shouldn’t show them because it might trigger them more into thinking that they can control me right now.
“What do you want?” I asked him with a command in my voice. “How much do you need?” I asked further. Based on the movies that I have watched, they kidnap people for money and I’m willing to give them no matter how big it is just for them to release me right now.
“You can’t pay me, kid. I charge too high,” he said with a teasing tone.
“My father owns a lot of businesses. Name your price,” I answered back to make him realize that I can pay him no matter how much he wanted me to.
“I only accept lives in exchange of freedom,” he answered. “You’re living with the gangsters, aren’t you?” He then asked.
What is he up to? And how did he know that I’m living with the gangsters?
“Go straight to your point!” I shouted at him because I really want to get out of this situation right now.
“Well, I’ve changed my mind. It would be better to see all of you bleeding in despair asking for your freedom,” he then said which added fear in me. Why is he doing this? Why am I included here?
“Boss, one of the gangsters is already here,” someone said out of nowhere.
I know that I was mad at them a while ago but the thought of one of them joining me here in this unfamiliar situation is making me more afraid. I can sense the anger in his voice even though he tries to play with my emotions right now so I know that it would be dangerous for any of them to be here too.
I couldn’t believe this but I wish it was only me who’ll have to endure this agony. I would love to suffer alone than suffer with anyone of them. I’ll admit that in a few days, I’ve learned how to love these gangsters. They’re now in my heart and thinking that someone of them might get hurt is already breaking my heart.
“You have me now! Let go of Hell!” I instantly recognized that it was Wind shouting.
I felt that my teardrops fell because I also sensed the pain in his voice. I may not be able to see it now but I can sense that he’s already bruised right now. I can only envision his smooth and angelic face now covered with bruises and blood and the thought of it is crashing me inside.
Maybe, just like me, he’s also helpless right now and is currently handcuffed with his eyes blindfolded. I wanted to hug him so bad but I can’t even move. I wanted to help him we can’t do anything about it right now.
“Not so fast, Wind. I want you to see how I will slowly kill this person,” he said and as if on cue, I felt a cold and sharp object roaming around my neck.
“I’m begging you, Lucifer. Not our Hell!” Wind shouted in desperation. I guess he can see things happening right now that’s why I heard a sob after he said that.
I guess this is really the end of me. Slowly, I felt the sharp object slowly go deeper into my skin and I confirmed that it is a knife.
“You really think that I would listen to you?” That guy whom Wind called as Lucifer said and laughed like an evil. “Allow me to hurt...” he wasn’t able to continue what he’s saying because the door slammed so hard again.
“Not now, Lucifer,” I heard Heaven’s voice which gave me hope.
I hope that they can get us out safely in this situation. I was shocked when I suddenly heard a gunshot which made me worried because it could’ve been Heaven that was shot. I closed my eyes and prayed that it wasn’t Heaven but then, I heard another shot... followed by a shot... and another shot until I can no longer count.
The last thing that I can remember was that I felt a sting at the side of my body.
