"You go first." I offered him. Let's see what he asks!
One way I started to fear, what if he dares me to kill myself or kill somebody. No he wouldn't do that. If he wanted to kill me, he wouldn't have agreed to play the game in the first place. He would have directly killed me. Or maybe he wants something from me.
I gulped and waited for him to shoot me with his question.
"Why are you clinging onto George from the past few days?" He articulated.
I knew it this was about him.
"You mean George Hanson?" He nodded. "Coincidentally I moved into his flat after he vacated and I found his diary. I thought to give it back. After numerous calls, I tried to give it back. I went to his house twice. The first time I didn't get to meet him and the second time I found out he was dead." I mentioned every single detail so that he'd gain my trust. In return, he'll also answer truthfully.
"You must say the truth." He sounded annoyed. After me mentioning so many tiny details, still he doesn't believe me?!
"Mr.Whoever-You-Are, I am telling the truth. I cannot make you believe it. It is the truth!" I protested.
"No, I don't trust you. No! You are lying. You met him, didn't you?"
2 questions done! Haha!
"Certainly not. He's an drunk idiot. I never got a chance to meet that great person." I sarcastically raised my voice.
"Do you have his diary? Did you read-"
"You're 2 questions are over." I calmly smiled. More like, a sardonic smile.
"We'll continue my dare later. You can ask your questions." He seemed cool which seemed wrong.
I asked a simple question, "Who are you?" Before he could respond by some stupid answers like I'm a human or I'm a man or I'm a kidnapper, I made myself clear. "And by that I don't want jerkish answers. You know what I meant by who are you."
"Ben." I gasped at the name. I should've known this! The Ben in the diary!!! He was the one who paid George and Danny? "Ben Greenlee."
My second question was obvious, "Why did you kidnap me?"
"Oh, Olivia! Are you a ten year old? Did you think I would say my name to someone kidnapped???" What? "I'm going to kill you of course. Like how I did to George. I will give you a poison and bam! People will be confused if it's a suicide or murder."
Oh my gawddddd! Seriously? I knew it! Not exactly, but yeah.
"Another person along with you and I'll be done." He added.
"Who will that-" I stopped as I finished 2 of my questions.
"Aha! Marvelous! You stand by the rules." Ben clapped dramatically.
"Because I made the rule." I snapped.
Ben groaned "Enough. Come to the dare."
I've been waiting for this. This moment. I've been planning since we started the game. You called me clever, isn't it Mr.Greenlee, look what tricks I have hidden under my sleeves. Well, not exactly under my sleeve!
"Untie my legs." I babbled.
"Eh?"
"I was clear." I took a pause and said patiently, "Untie my legs."
"N-O. I hope even I was clear. End of the discussion!" Ben stood up and turned to move out of the room.
"It was a deal! You can't do this."
"And you can't ask this." He turned back to me and pointed my legs.
"Make headway! What could I possibly do if you untie my legs? I cannot hop and escape." I averted my gaze to the floor. "If you guys are deaf, I could do that." I muttered.
"Exactly, that's my question. Why do you want me to untie your legs if it's of no use."
"Look at those bruises on my legs. They are paining like hell."
"That's the point of tying them." Ben chuckled hard. Uh, he has a point! But he's ruining my plan. How do I convince him?!? Why am I devoid of convincing statements at the moment?
"But I'm not asking to untie my hands. It's my legs!" Worst statement I could ever make to persuade this man.
Ben took a moment to think and looked here and there. Quietly, he came and freed my legs from those harsh ropes which felt free like after am eternity. My ankles were purple, maybe there's a blood clot, and my toes felt numb from not moving. I swinged my legs to relieve the pain. But that's not the end. I had back pain, neck pain, hand ache and head ache (due to frequent sedatives).
"My turn." He rubbed his palms in happiness.
He stood behind me and placed his head on my right shoulder. Why are all these people so...creepy? I could feel his breath on my neck and what he was going to ask brought me shivers.
"Listen to me." He said under his breath.
I nodded and turned my head to look at him. I was waiting for him to continue. He looked into my eyes. His eyes were piercing into mine and it felt like he had a master plan.
"That's the dare." Ben shrugged he moved his head away.
Before I could digest what be said, everything went vacous. Again!
