a warm welcome

CHONG FEI

There was a small grin on his face as he started the car . He deliberately sent me out just to lend me in trouble with his gang . It seems like in order to breath peacefully I have to cling to this weirdo no matter how much his presence chokes me . He was strangely unconventional be it in style and appearance . I shivered when he accidentally placed his hand on mine our eyes collide he quickly let go off my hand looking away as if I disgusted him .

He was slowly driving the car as if he had no where to go .

Me: will you drive fast( she muffled)

Sultan: I'm in slow mood , ( he replied nonchalantly)

Me: I need to get home early ,, if you don't know his to drive move aside I will do it for you

Sultan: if you think I don't know how to drive the car miss you are free to get out of here and drive your own car ( he said harshly at her making her shudder backwards )

There was a pin drop silence ,, no one spoke to the other ...I kept giving him a corner look checking if I could get a hint of what's cooking in his mind strangely I could see nothing than just a cold stoic expression.

Abruptly the car was stopped at a house which was a bit far from other houses . There was a loud barking dog. Sultan got out of the car I stayed inside as he caressed the dog which had just jumped at him . This cold stone also has a pet how strange !

I could feel the connection between Sultan and his dog and the happiness showed that they were best friends.

Sultan: Bingo go to your kennel I will bring you something to eat ( he said with affection to the dog it wiggled it's tail and quickly left to the masters command)

I got out of the car scanning the surrounding . The house looked as if it was owned by a night demon the painting itself clearly analyzed how the owner looked like. It was completely painted in black there was no outside light ...

I

Me: does any human stay in here ??( she asked thoughtfully)

Sultan: yes and now it will be two humans staying under the same roof ( there was a cold response from behind)

I turned around with a start to see Sultan.

Me: and who said I will stay with you ( she asked angrily)

Sultan: I said so ,,, it's freaking cold out here let's get inside ....

He said grabbing my hand leading me to the front door . I felt scared for an unknown reason . Everything was so terrifying about this man . He turned on the lights there was nothing fancy in the sitting room just two black couches there was no TV wonder why he is a psycho .

Sultan: suit yourself ,,

He said going to the next room for a moment I remained rooted on the same place wondering why hr brought me here .

I slowly walked to the couch and sat down ...my heart was hammering like a train . He returned with a mug of coffee .

Sultan: not poisoned ...

He still had that mask on his face ? Can't he remove it ....I just nod taking the mug from his hand ...hesitantly I took a sip I swear I've never tasted anything so disgusting like that .

Sultan: tastes good right,, ( she nod timidly)

I was scared of speaking out my mind ..

Sultan: now tell me who you work for ...( she froze to this question)

Me: I've already told you I came to see someone ....you being there was just a coincidence ( she said eyes glimmering with unshed tears)

Sultan: you still protecting your boss right?? Anyways it's okay I will give you time but I'm not usually patient feifei ....

He said taking out a knife from his pocket ...I trembled as he licked some trails of blood on the knife . Is he real??

Me: it's the truth... I swear ( she barely whispered as her eyes were fixed on the knife Sultan was holding)

Sultan: you at the brink of death and you still lying ..( he said with bloodshot eyes)

I closed my eyes trying hard not to cry

Me: you getting me the wrong way ...

The next I felt something cold and sharp piercing my wrist ...my eyes widened to see gushes of blood trailing on the ground . Sultan was looking at me in the eyes breathing fire . I couldn't even scream I just winced in pain .

Sultan: this is just a warm welcoming ...you will regret showing up at the wrong time meeting with wrong people ( he whispered to her tears streamed on her face)
