Chapter Seven

It's too hot and my vision is blurry, Not a good mix. I sit up but immediately regret it. A crazy hard hitting pain went straight up to my head. I laid back down. "Why?" Someone says I don't know who though since I can't see so clearly. "Why what?, Who are you?And where am I?" I ask all at once. "Why would you throw yourself down the stairs?" The person asks. It all comes back to me, And all of a sudden I feel overwhelmed. "I would do anything to get out of the situation I was in and I'm pretty sure if it was the other way around you would do the same as well". The sound of footsteps gets closer and closer. When they reach where I am I hold my breath hoping they disappear. The person then holds my nose and says "If you want to stay alive you will have to complete this first step,And that's breathing". I quickly breathe out of my mouth since I can't do it with my nose. And at that my vision slowly starts to clear up. My vision is now clear so I can see who the person I was talking to was. "Yo-you!, RIKU!". What the actual hell was actually happening. "Hi neighbor" He responds. "What are you doing here, How do you know what happened, matter of fact what is happening?". He sighs and looks at me then pulls up a chair. His expression then suddenly turned cold, So cold that it sent chills down my spine, He looked like he was about to kill me. "Why don't you just shut up?" He asked me. Out of shock I just laid there quietly. I slowly sit up. "Are you going to tell me?" I ask. "I've been watching you for sometime now,For about three years now I would say. I've run background checks on you, Ha I basically know everything about you. But for some reason I still couldn't have you. Everything I did was as if it didn't matter. I'll never forget the time when you walked past my apartment, saw a fire and just stood there then casually walked away as if nothing was wrong" I gasp. "Oh don't act all shocked now, you know. It's taking my everything not to get up and slap the mess outta you, You're a dirty slush". Ha, this fool. I should've let him burn in that apartment building with everything slowly falling down behind him. "Watch your mouth, You think the people just came to save you. How do you think they got there? We live on the top floor. No one could smell the smoke even if they wanted to. It would be too late then. Just in case your brain is way slower, I told them! I called the fire department, On your door camera it just shows me walking away, I just don't show emotion so easily. It's nothing I haven't seen before" I tell him. But this didn't answer anything. It just tells me I had a stalker on my hands that I had no clue about, But where am I and how does this guy know all of my information?. "It seems you met my friend that also had an eye on you" Riku says. Not another triangle of some sort someone gotta go rather it's me or one of them. "I've heard enough, I already know what your going to say I bet it's going to be like i'll help you get away from him if you come to my side or some sort, And in all honesty I rather just die then be with any of you" I say the slowly get up from the bed. But a thick heavy chain slowly falls with me. "What!,let me go". The door then opens and the bus boy and the stranger walk in with snacks. When the bus boy sees me he drops his stuff and runs to me hugging me and asking if i was alright. I then lifted up my foot that had the big chains on it. "Do I look alright? Why do you guys have me tied up like a dog?". "It's so you don't run away or hurt yourself again me and Daku decided that you must stay in here, What is it not to your liking?" He asks. To be honest the room I was in was probably bigger than my apartment and also had things I will never be able to afford but you know that all doesn't matter when you're chained up and not allowed to go where you please. "Who is Daku?And please let me go," I say. "Oh Daku is the one who smacked you before you fell, He is my big brother" He responds. Oh so Daku is the stranger. All of a sudden Riku flies up from his chair. "You hit her Daku!?Why would you do something like that? You swore you stopped that type of act" He screams out. The bus boy looks at me and whispers "I'm Travis" before telling the two boys to talk outside with him.

It's been sometime and none of them have been back into the room. I'm sure they went far away from it. And while they did whatever they were doing I picked the lock with my hair pin,made a nice rope with the sheets and put it out the window. I then knocked over the huge mirror to cause some noise and hopped into the closet.I sit as quiet as ever when i hear many footsteps coming to the room. The door swings open and I hear Daku sigh. I then hear footsteps walking on the glass. Riku starts to laugh. "She is incredible, She made it. Ha you lost the great Daku loss, She doesn't want you and never will" Riku says while laughing hysterically. Travis then walks and stands right in front of the closet. I hold my breath. Riku still laughing says "Well i mean your dad did set her house on fire, Why would she want you after he killed her parents". I gasp in shock and quickly cover my mouth right after knowing that I messed up. The math in my head started to work like clock work. If i wanted to still escape i would have to open the door hard enough to make Travis fall then jump out of that window hold on to the rope i made slide down and run. And if I wanted to do any of that I would have to avoid the big guys sitting freely. I had no time to think how I would avoid them so I put my plan to work right away. I burst the door open and Travis fell down onto the glass. I leaped to the bed avoiding the glass on the floor. I then run around the room in circles opening the window more and more so I can fit out easily. I then quickly grab the chair that Riku was sitting on and burst a hole through the wall making the rope secured in the wall with the chair holding it. I make one last circle around the room avoiding all the hands trying to grab me and quickly climb out the window. I go down the rope. Everything is going to plan!. I look down and the ground seems to be getting further and further away. I look up and Daku is up there pulling the rope back into the window. What in the world! "Let me be" I scream
