1: Save

THIRD PERSON POV.

In a very dark room, while Erynn was trying his best to untie himself, the door suddenly opened that gives him a light and he spat out the unfamiliar face of a lady who looks like she in her mid-40s, holding a gun. His face quickly went dark. He glares at her and was about to say something when he just ends up shutting his own mouth before he could even open it as the Lady immediately pointed her gun at him as soon as she entered.

"Donʼt even try to piss me, Kiddo. I'm kind of impatient when it comes to a kid like you."

Erynn doesnʼt usually gets easily scared but this time, he can't help but swallowed multiple times as his throat seems to dry up by just simply hearing how cold the Ladyʼs voice was. Not only did it sounds very cold but also intimidating and authoritative.

"S-Sino ka?" W-Who are you? He calmly uttered. He badly wanna shout to let out all the emotions compiled within him but he can't be reckless, not with this gun pointing at him.

If only he's alone, he wouldn't even care about his life but he can't let his emotions win over him. His Mom is with him and he still has to look for her. He has to save her!

A demonic smile engraved on the Lady's lips as she walked closer to him. She slowly sat down when she was finally in front of him so they could be equal. She grabbed his jaw almost making him scream in pain as her sharp long nails were buried in both of his cheeks. The Lady put down her gun and her cold eyes met his.

"Sorry Kiddo, but I don't understand your language. Speak English." Her hand pressed even harder on his cheek as she forced him to look up.

Dang! It freakin' hurts!

"I.. I s-said, w–who are you?"

"Oh? Youʼre asking for my name? Is that it? Hmm.." The woman with an evil smirk on her, played her gun acting as if it's just a simple stick and pointed it to her self as she introduces her self. "I am Sha Juang." She even used a playful tone as if they're just having a normal conversation.

He gritted his teeth causing his jaw to clenched. He can not hold back anymore, he glares at the Lady in front of him and burst out. "Fuck you! The hell I freakin' care about your fuckin' name?!" He was forced to shut his mouth as the Lady pressed his jaw even more. "W-Where d–did you b-bring me.." He had a hard time speaking as the Lady is holding him really hard.. luckily, the Lady eventually let him go. "Why are you doing this? Whereʼs my Mom?!" He once again shouted as soon as his mouth is already free.

Erynn really tried his best to break free from being tied up but the rope is just very tight. He couldn't break it.

The Lady just kept on watching him. Amuse. And then she laughed, making his anger worse. The situation is really frustrating for him. His hope in escaping is slowly fading away as well.

The Lady stood up and once again carved her demonic grin as she crossed her arms. "Go and keep making yourself tired. Donʼt stop trying to untie that rope.. I wish you luck!" The Lady uttered teasingly before turning her back on him to supposedly leave the room but then, when she was just about to near the door, she suddenly stopped for a brief moment and spoke again.

"Anyway, I just wanna tell you to please enjoy your last moment here because youʼll probably gonna die tonight." That's it and she finally left.

"That witch! Just who the fuck is she?!"

"AGHRRRR, DAMN IT!!" Erynn just shouted in excessive frustration as he can do nothing but curse and curse and curse. At first, he was still determined to get away but as time went on he gradually becomes discouraged.

The young man estimated that he's already been missing for 15 hours. His father and friends are probably now looking for him and his mom. He has not eaten yet and his body still feels weak as the person who abducted him stabbed him earlier. His eyesight is gradually dimming due to fatigue from the struggle with the rope as well.

He almost lost consciousness when the door suddenly opened again and even though it was difficult, he tried his best to lift his head and look at whoever is coming but unfortunately, he could only see the figure of whoever it is. He cannot see its face. He or she is wearing a black long-sleeved turtle neck on top, and black cargo pants with matching black boots. S/He also wears black gloves, a black cap, and a black mask.

He or she probably hates black huh. He wonders.. will s/he save me?

"W-Wh–Who are y-you?" It is not certain whether he is still heard by whoever it is knowing how weak his voice was. But he hopes s/he can help him.

S/He approached him and slowly sat down so that they would be equal. She looks at him straightly in the eye and even though he was weak, he could still see the twinkle of concern in its eyes.

But why? Why s/he seem worried? D-Does s/he knows him?

"A-Are you he—

"Shh. Stop talking." She cut him off. Yea, it's a she. It's a female's voice and although she sounds very cold and mysterious.. it somehow gives him the feeling of being secure. Being safe.

W-Who is she?

The Lady no longer say anything. She just started to untie him. Quietly. Gently. And when he finally broke free, she immediately supported him. She took his arm and put it around her shoulder. She also encircled her arms around his waist so that he could stand straight.

"Next time, use your brain. What if no one came to help you?" The Lady coldly stated. "Do you wanna die without contributing anything to a planet earth?" She added. She sounds cold and mysterious but..

What the heck? Is she even serious?

Planet earth?

He knows someone who also has a hubby in saying the same word. But they can't be the same..

"W-Who are you?" He asked despite being really weak but she did not speak again until he just realized that the darkness is slowly pulling his mind, he completely lost consciousness and everything went dark.
