She might be Innocent

Leticia opened her eyes. It was so dark in here that she wasn't even sure if her eyes were opened or not. She blinked and her eyes hurt. Probably from crying so much.

Is it morning yet? Or its still night? She looked around,not that she could see anything though. No light, no sound, no movement. It was like void in here. 

Her heart pounded. 'Maybe if I bang on the door, someone can help me.' She thought, rising to her feet. She was leaning against the door so it wasn't hard to locate it. Immediately, she began to bang, "Help?! Help, please. I'm so sorry. Please, just open the door, please." 

She didn't know when she began to cry again. It's so dark and silent in here, Leticia thought 'Or am i dead?' and it was darn suffocating too. 'Maybe I can find a window.' she thought hopefully, taking two cautious steps forward. Nothing happened. She took another step and immediately felt something sharp pierce her leg. 

"Ouch." she winced, falling forward. She landed on the floor with a thud and her head hit something solid. 'W...Was that the wall? "

She didn't give up though. She stood up, feeling liquid seep out of her wound. "Ow." she winced, tears rushing down her face. Feeling air, she moved forward and immediately came in contact with a wall. She frowned. 

She took few steps backwards and came in contact with another wall. The room felt awfully suffocating and so tiny. Leticia slumped on the floor, crying. If only she didn't agree to help Manuel. Where is he though? Is he trying to get her out? 

She sat on the floor, loud sobs escaping her lips. 

****

They sat. The room was silent. And the air was stiff, cold. No heartbeat. No sounds of breathing. Dead silent. 

"I really suggest you feed her. She's human you know." A cool voice spoke first. 

"I suggest you take her out of that hellhole. She won't last 2 days." The blond lively guy chimed. 

"it's been 4 days" The cool guy replied. 

"Considering she's just human, she's pretty strong. No food, water, air and light for 4 days and 3 nights! Woah. That's tough actually! "

" Strong headed bitch! "A cold angry voice mumbled.

" I want to see her though. How is she like,Luis? ". The lively guy grinned, not bothering to turn to Devon. 

"Very pretty" Luis replied shortly. He was never a good describer yet he couldn't dispute the fact that she was indeed beautiful.

"Is she a red haired? I have a kink for red haired. Bring her out and let's have a taste, Devon" He beamed, licking his pink lips. 

Devon growled at him. "Shut the fuck up and let me think!"

The guy pouted, caressing his own blond hair. He turned to a silent guy who doesn't look a bit interested in their conversation." Hey Princess "

The guy ignored him. 

" Ughh. Princess , talk to meeeeeee"

"Cecil, quit bothering Quynn."Luis cautioned. 

" He just won't talk to me " Cecil whined. 

" That never bothered you "Luis raised a brow. 

" It does. In my heart i wail every single time Quynn refuses to talk to me " Cecil sulked,making a face at Quynn, who was still impassive. 

" You don't have a heart" Luis pointed out. Cecil grumbled "In my soul then" 

Devon turned to Luis and he asked,"What is her name?" 

"Leticia. Leticia Andros." 

"How much did you find about her?" 

"Almost everything about her. She's quite the simple town girl though. Lives with her father and sister in a small house. A graduate, no criminal records. In fact, she'd always been a good student." Luis summarised.

"What else?" Devon growled because the information is as useless as shit.

"She has a very uneventful life." Luis said. Devon frowned .

Cecil raised a brow,"Why are you still keeping her though? Don't you usually just kill others like her? "

Devon ignored Cecil . Luis too did. Quynn just stared at air. 

" Any trace of whoever sent her? "Devon asked Luis. 

Luis said" Their tracks were well cleared. Not even a breeze was left. Do you suspect anyone?"

Devon said "Obviously not a human rival. She was given Shadowroot. That was what she put in my drink. " 

Cecil gasped, "What!!" Shadowroot was one of the most effective ingredients in making the deadliest potion ever known. Whosoever sent Leticia must have the aim to make Devon weak and helpless for sometime so he could attack. 

Quynn stared at Devon now, obviously waiting for him to say more. Devon shrugged. 

Cecil said, "B-but I thought it was one of the ingredients that got banned ..." 

"Apparently , some bastard found a way to cultivate it. " Devon growled. He was boiling. It's been days and the situation still angered him. Why did they have to send her! The thought alone angered him. 

Why? He didn't even bother to think.

Why hasn't he killed her yet? He didn't bother to think about that either.

Maybe because he didn't want to give whoever sent her the satisfaction of her being dead. Or... Maybe it's because she might be innocent. He wanted to confirm somethings before deciding what to do with her. He's never tried to see if the others were innocent, but now, he just wants to find out. 

"Although, i found something very interesting about her father." Luis said. Devon looked at him, infact, they all did. "He wasn't born here. Although he made ID registrations and stuffs, no records of his past or so,at all. Like he never existed in the first place. He just suddenly showed up about 25 years ago." Luis explained. 

Cecil said. "Strange. Did you look into our registration book?" 

"I did. He's definitely not one of us. I have not seen the man myself, but I shall. Today if possible" Luis replied to Cecil. Devon just nodded. 

The room once again became silent till Cecil decided to piss Devon. " So... What are we gonna do to the girl?" No reply. "Luis said she's pretty. Maybe I can,you know, lay her. Even if it's once."

" Just keep quiet or you fuck off! "Devon glared at Cecil. The blond sighed." Well, I need to nap. Later then."standing up.

Devon narrowed his gaze at Cecil." Don't even think of going to her"

"Already did." Cecil laughed but stopped, seeing Devon's dark eyes. "I swear, i won't go there" Cecil said and rushed out of the glamorous living room, laughing. 

Luis smiled. Devon grumbled something while Quynn just looked on blankly. 

Cecil has always been the lively and carefree one among the four. He's a cute blond guy with blue eyes. 

Luis is the cool and calm one. Handsome brunette. He's mostly quiet unless spoken to. Usually polite and careful. 

Quynn can be described as the undescribable. He barely talks. No emotions crosses his face so no one knows what he's thinking while so quiet. Very attractive. With straight black hair and a masculine aura, he attracts every lady around him. 

Devon is the fire among them. Always scowling at something. He's hot tempered. Not really like Quynn but barely feels anything but anger. That is the only emotion that fills him. Rage and bloodlust.

He can be tagged as the most handsome and even most beautiful. His feminine beauty made it difficult for anyone to ignore him. 

Luis looked at his gold wrist watch. Standing, he said "We have a meeting with Mr Browns in an hour. Then i can head over to Mr Andros." 

"I'll come" Devon said and stood up. 

Quynn stood up and left the room for only God knows where. 

Soon,Luis and Devon left the mansion. 

***

Leticia heard the growl again. Her stomach. She felt the twist. How many days has it been? Weeks? It's been so long. Starved and stuck in this horrifying and suffocating room. She's fainted thrice due to lack of air. Then, Leticia usually hopes to just die, but she always wakes up. It's infuriating. "Just kill me already!!" she screamed at nothing in particular. 

Her father must be so worried. Is Manuel in fact doing anything! Did he just abandon her here? Leticia sighed. 

She felt really sad. 'If i die here, my father would never know. I can't believe I'm leaving them just like Lissa did. Who will take care of Lily if anything were to happen to father? Did Mr Devon do anything to my family?' Fear gripped her heart .' I'm so sorry father, Lilian '

Ethan could not stop pacing the room. It's been days! His daughter left the house and didn't come back! Lord. He didn't know what to do. He couldn't even report her missing. Fear consumed him. 

He's been searching for her but no trace. 

This is exactly what had happened to his first daughter. She left the house and never came back. Ethan stumbled upon her body in the woods about 2 weeks later. He didn't want the same to happen to his second daughter. 

Just then, he heard the door bell ring. He froze. He quietly walked over and opened the door, ready to defend himself. 

But a harmless looking guy stood there, a polite smile on his handsome face. "Good day, Mr Andros." 

Ethan creased his brows. Who is he? Wearing a white shirt and black pants with a black suit on. He looks familiar though. "And you are?" 

Luis smiled. Ethan watched as Luis' green eyes turned into a light red then back to green. Ethan's eyes widened. 

Luis smiled "May i come in? I have very important discussion." Ethan knew it! It is DEFINITELY about his daughter. What did they do to her!
