I opened my eyes, everything was kinda blury, I felt something heavy around my wrists, chains.
I succeeded in raising my head a bit, but unpleasent surprise waited up for me.
-You look gorgeous tonight..- he smirked.
I have to admit, looking at those deep blue eyes.. i wanted to punch him in the face. But instead, i spat on him. Pretty happy i smiled, i expected him to kick me or hurt in another way, but he did not.
-So brave to do something like that to person that can end your life at any moment, don't you think so darling?- he said as he lifted up my chin
I felt sick in my stomach because of his stupid nickname, what a jerk, how did all this mess start anyway?
******************************
Flashback
-Lucía you can do it, can't you?-
-Of course! There is no chance he'll catch me.-
-All you have to do is infiltrate in his mansion as silent as possible.-
-As silent as possible got it.-
******************************
I was climbing up the window so damn sure that i won't get caught, but as i stepped on the floor i heard the siren and everything went black..
******************************
-What a perfect plan to enter this mansion, silent and unnoticable. Too bad you missed final step. Did you plan it yourself precious?-
I refused to answer that jerk, i was too pissed to shake or nod, but eventually he let go.
I tried my best to crack chains, i was breaking them, kicking, everything i could, but nothing happened. In the other hand while i was trying to escape, he was watchung me and laughed. It seemed like he enjoyed, jeez what a creep! I yelled at him as loud as i could, but sadly, he did not go away. I was stuck in that stupid room for hours.
-So Lucía right? Why do yall want me under arrest so badly i've done nothing wrong- he made an innocent face.
If look could kill he'd be dead already.
He grinned and came closer.
-Aw you don't wanna talk to me-
My face twiched at his stupid nickname, but i kept silent.
I thought he was about to attack me or something when he came even closer, but instead he took off my gloves. I was confused, what kind of demon was he?
I mean he is ranked as A criminal in our document but he doesn't seem to be violente, so i guess he hasn't been to others either.
As he looked down at my hands he left a small gasp and said:
-Your nails are beautiful- he giggled
I was in a complete shock, and it broke me.
-What?- i asked finally.
-Nothing, i was just admiring your black nails-.
-You must be kidding me, you're crazy-.
-Really dear? Am i?- i heard a small chuckle coming from him.
-Now that kitten got your tongue back, you can tell me why are you trying to catch me-.
I took a deep breath, what a manipulation he'd done, fucking bastard. But i finally told him:
-You're wanted in about 26 cities and 3 countries honey why do you even ask me?-.
-Oh yeah well they'll be looking for me like forever-.
-You can dream, i'll watch you begging judge to make your punishment lower-.
He burst out laughing and wiping tears.
-Ye Precious, i see you will be the one to arrest me, specially when your getting out of those chains is going so well -
I got so freakin' pissed that i literally shook my leg until it throw my shoe at him itself and hit his stomach.
Well now it was hilarious! I was laughing my butt of!
But instead of threating me, punching me or yelling at me he took the shoe and put it back on my leg, while i was kicking as strong as i could. I was about to punch him in the face when the rope stopped me.
-Your aim is pretty good darling, and it was really nice talking with you, but, unfortunantly i have to go, i've gotten some business, i'll make sure to come tomorrow- he kissed my forehead and i went insane -YOU F****** FLIRTY BASTARD YOU FREAKING BI*** I SWEAR TO MY GOD DAMN LIFE YOU STUPID M***** F****** DONKEY I WILL END YOUR LIFE MYSEL-..-
-Yeah yeah i will wait don't worry, but for now you have to figure out how to get out of chains-.
I cursed with every curse i knew but he just smiled, waved goodbye and left the room. Jerk. I was so mad with him that i thought i won't sleep at all but within few hours i fell asleep. At the morning somebody shook me and woke me up more less gently, i was about to say good morning as i used to but when i woke up totally, i realized that the bastard was standing there, so, i just turned around and continued laying. Then he spoke: Good morning Precious i made you a breakfast but i am afraid you have to wake up first.
-Look honey, if you haven't noticed, i hate you, and stop calling me Precious, also that attitude of yours isn't fooling me, you don't like me either, you want to get rid of me.-
- Ouch! You hurt me really badly darling- he said while grabbing his chest
-Good, i hope you die- i smiled
-Well that is the reason you got caught anyway.-
-What do you mean?- i asked
-Oh i see, i finally caught your attention, well since you wanna know, you are very clever person, you even plan before you do anything, but, the problem is that you're concluding too quick, which results being caught or making wrong decision.-
I actually listened to him carefully and finally nodded when he was done.
-Well how do i fix it?-
-You can try not making a decision after one or two conclusions, and never underestimate anyone, specially not your enemy.-
I was speechless, it all made sense and i could not see how he tried to sabotage me, so i kept staring at him not really knowing what to say.
He noticed my staring and asked if i was okay.
Okay that was enough -OK I DON'T KNOW HOW THE HECK ARE YOU PLANNING MY MURDER OR HOW TO GET RID OF ME THIS WAY BUT I WILL FIND OUT!-
-Woah woah calm down, who said i would want to get rid of you?-
-My common sense; why wouldn't you kill someone who can sabotage your plan.-
-Why would i? I am such a nice guy- i rolled my eyes.
In the end he suggested that i should eat my breakfast since i haven't eaten anything yesterday. I was about to open my mouth and protest but he just said:
-It isn't poisoned, don't worry, i would not do something like that. But you have to eat and also drink, you did not touch water those maids of mine gave you so i'll bring it to you after you're finished.-
I sighed knowing that he was right. I asked him if he could untie me so i can eat that myself.
Well it would be underestimating if i said he was surprised by my calm reaction, he was in complete shock and he did as i asked.
While i was eating i realized he threw chains away.
When i was done he told me to follow him. We entered the small room which was full of weapons. I saw a katana, knife, gun and a sword.
As i stepped deeper into the room, he turned to me with a numb glance, then, he started talking:
- I have a deal for you Precious, wanna hear?-
I rolled my eyes and nodded.
- Fine, so, you can either:
1. Stay in this huge mansion with my servants and me;
Or 2. Pick any weapon from there and attack me;
If you choose the second option it will be the fight to death so it's all on you to choose.
I thought about it for a second, but then i took a gun and a knife from the shelf.
I started spinning the gun around my finger. He grinned and said: You've choosen the second one i see.
I announced smiling: Of course, wanna beg for your life before i end it?
-Nah too lazy for that, i am not a coward, instead i will just do this- he lifted his hands above the head
- Understood, well then- i pointed a gun to his head- last words?-
-Yup, never miscalculate your opponent-
I noticed a gun pointing at me as well.
-It seems like we're both dying here- His smile had never faded.
I cursed silently but put the gun down.
-Such a good girl- he announced.
In wave of anger i glissade in front of him holding a knife near his neck-
-I am going to end you.. with a single cut, ironic isn't it?-
-Ah right, how immature from me to underestimate you darling, but indeed, is it?-
I wanted to kill him right there, but something stopped me, i am not an assasin, i've never killed and swore that i'd never. But it seems like i lowered my guard, because i was aware again when i heard my knife hitting the ground. I felt two pretty strong arms pulling me into something like a hug. He was holding me, gross.
-You should've known better than to mess with me honey.- he said kinda laughing. I was disgusted by him and i wanted to kick him so bad, but i did not get a chance 'cause a second later, he pressed his lips against mine.
What the what?! At first i was in a complete shock to even react, but then i realized what happened and pushed him away as strong as i could.
I started spitting and wiping my lips.
-Ew you fucking whore-
He giggled.
- Aw you will pretend you didn't like it? Adorable.-.
-No whore, i did not like it! In fact that was the most disugusting thing i've ever tasted in my whole life-
-Yeah so gross that you are as red as the damn tomato.-
I touched my face and realized it really was hot so i assumed that he, sadly, wasn't lying.
-You know i would rather want you to kill me than torture me this way-
-Too bad. That's not what i am planning anyway. Now hop hop stand up we are going-
-Where?-
-You'll see-
-Whatever.- I didn't bother to stand up, i was not going anywhere.
He did not seem to care so i guessed he'll just let me be. But oh boy was i wrong. He literally decided to picks me up from floor and carries me bride style to wherever we were going. I protested but he was way stronger and taller than me so there wasn't really a point.
We entered the huge room with a fancy bed, table and a chair. He put me down. I looked at him confused. He just shruged, and said: -it's all yours Precious- and got out of the room without any other word. I started planning my escape.
It passed about few days, he would come at morning and then leave within few minutes. He was silent or if he was talking, he talked too quiet. When i heard a knocking on the door, i opened.
That jerk came in again without a word. His weird acting pissed me of so i confronted him about it.
-Dammit! Speak, what is it-
He was confused and gave me a weird look.
-I've been here for long enough, you were never silent not even close to silent. So speak.-
He sighed and said that i'd probably be happy cause his plan did not work out as planned, and that he got himself into some mess. Well i sat next to him saying that although he is my target i don't want him to die. He was kinda shocked but understood.
He hid his look from me but said silently "thanks". That was the first time that he said something nice and honest.
-Well can i at least know your name?- i asked -cause i kinda realized i never knew your real name-
-It's Blake..-
-Darkness, i see-
He nodded -Yup, my mother suggested it, she didn't know the meaning, f only she knew how much my name would describe me, and my future.. And what about yours "Precious"?-
-Lucía. That.. means light..-
-It indeed suits you- he smiled.
Since he started sounding more & more honest i tried to make him tell me more.
-Why did you become a criminal-
-Uh- i- i don't know it just happened-
I stared at blank space and told him: -You're lying-
-Huh?-
-You're lying. Who hurt you?-
-..-
-..-
Quietness spread through the whole room. I waited a few minutes cause i knew i'll get an answer.
He took a deep breath and started - Back then when i was about 5-6 years old, i can't remember much but what i recall is that i lived with mom and dad. We were what you'd call a happy family. We loved each other and guard our backs until, well, until our house was set on fire...-
He kinda started shaking so i decided it was not good for him to remember so much memories in one moment. I changed the subject. I asked him about his name. He explained how his mother gave it to him since she's from Spain and that he's really satisfied with his name. I let him talk about it, he actually smiled few times but the difference was: these grins were real..
