All of their cars were in front of the mansion. The morning was cold and humid, you didn't like that one bit. Voices could be heard from inside the mansion, they were shouting, arguing and making a big fuss over your disappearance. The thought of going back in made you feel anxious, you don't ever want to see them again. But they are the only ones that you have left. You took a deep breath, they were still searching for you, at least you know that they want you back. 

This week that you have spent without them was probably the worst one yet. Your kidnappers didn't take you lightly, they kept you locked and drugged the whole time. It all seemed like a long nightmare that was never going to end. You were barely able to escape, but you still succeeded. However, now you feel like you should have been long dead. There is no reason for you to live anymore. He was right, it would have been much easier for everybody else. 

''I've been watching you for quite some time. I wouldn't have expected that you were a woman, but this makes things much more interesting.'' his voice was flirty, he wasn't trying to be intimidating at all. 

The room wasn't well lit, but you could barely make out the lines of his faces. His eyes were a yellow, which bore into you every time he saw you. He seemed young, not much older than you. 

''That sounds fun.'' you said weakly, the only thing you hated more than being tied to the bed was the feeling of weakness. There was no way that you could stand a chance against him, if you managed to untie yourself. 

''You are all on your own and you've lost all your friends. There is no one to save you,  those Bonten idiots have never even heard about me and neither have you. There is nobody that can find you now. Did you really think that they would care about a person like you?'' he said chuckling to himself, you wanted to punch him so hard, but you couldn't move an inch.

''You are as smart as I have estimated, you won't do anything irrational. That's something rarely seen with killers, I like that very much. It would be rude not to introduce myself my name is Karl. There's no need for you to introduce yourself, I already know everything about you.''

''So you're a stalker, right?'' 

He started laughing ''Oh you're so funny. No, I just did my proper research, unlike other people. ''

''I've always hated people like you. What do you want from me, why didn't you kill me when you had a chance?'' 

He walked over to you and slapped you hard. You were in shock, you couldn't move at all. The mood in the room shifted, you felt cold. He grabbed you by the jaw and forced you to face him. His face was now inches from yours. He caressed the cheek he just slapped, studying every detail of your face. 

''That's gonna leave a bad bruise, that's a shame, your skin is so silky and soft. You know death is the easiest escape, but living is the greatest torture. I will do anything that I want to you, don't you worry about a thing.'' he walked out of the room, locking the door three times. 

The pain in your body was immense, you were shaking from the cold. You knew that they will help you, but you felt scared. What will happen when they see your state? Will they change their minds about helping you? Will they try to take advantage of your current state? On the other hand, they were the only thing you currently had.

You slowly approached the door to the mansion and opened it. It would have been better if they were at the Haitanis' apartment, since you could probably sneak into the guest room unnoticed. There was nothing you could do to change that, so you continued onward. 

Slowly walking by the staircase, you entered the living room. You hid behind the same wall as you did the first time. You could hear them shouting at each other and arguing. Mikey looked like he was about to kill Sanzu and Ran. 

''Okay everyone calm the fuck down. We'll find her.'' Koko said, he looked at annoyed. They all looked at him and decided to continue arguing. He was about to snap at them, but you decided to show yourself, to spare him the trouble. 

''Hi.'' you said shakily. The hoodie that you were wearing was covering your face, but there was no chance that they wouldn't recognize you. They were all stunned, nobody moved since you entered. 

''You guys okay?'' you asked, everyone was still looking at you. 

Koko approached you slowly and pat you on the head.

''You see, I told you that we will find you.'' you were looking at him in confusion. He doesn't even bother to ask you, are you okay or anything else. Nobody else seemed to have moved, they were still shocked by you making an appearance. 

He pulled your hood down and his widened. The big bruise on your face was still quite visible, they took every chance they had to hurt you. Your face was a bit swollen so you didn't look like your usual self. 

Since nobody seemed to had moved from their original position you decided to go to the kitchen and grab an ice pack. Tears were threatening to spill from your eyes, as you walked out of the living room. Nobody even asked you about anything, they were just staring. Maybe being kidnapped wasn't as bad.

You sat in one of the bar chairs in the kitchen and held the ice pack to your face. Hot tears were going down your cheek as you couldn't keep it in any longer. After a few minutes you heard a knock on the door, it was Rindou.

''I am so sorry for just staring at you. We thought you were dead. I couldn't believe my own eyes.''

''How comforting.'' you said rolling your eyes at him.

 ''I'm sorry, really I am. Let me look at the bruise.'' he removes your hand with the ice pack and puts in on the table. He traced the bruise with his finger as gently as possible. 

''Does it hurt?'' he really looked like he cared.

''A bit.''

''I wish that we could go back to the apartment, but we still have some business together here at the mansion, but you can stay in my room or wherever you like.''

''Can I stay in your room?'' you asked, you didn't want to deal with anyone else for now. One at a time was enough. 

''Yes, of course. I'll just go get your stuff from Izana's room and put into mine. I'll be back in a few minutes. And here is a plate of fresh apple pie, we just order it so it is hot.'' he said putting a plate of apple pie on the table. He left the room, it was silent, until you heard more arguing from the living room.

There was no reason to eavesdrop, you were too tired anyway. Even though the pie looked amazing, a wave of nausea hit you.  You ate one small piece at a time, you had to eat something, whatever it was. Somebody entered the kitchen quietly, you didn't notice them until you felt a hand on your shoulder.  It was Mikey.

''Sorry for earlier I just couldn't believe i-''

''That's what everyone says. It just looked like you didn't care.'' 

''It is my fault. I know you're not okay, you don't look too good.'' you ignored him, you were still nibbling the pie. With each bite the taste got worse, you decided to leave the piece half eaten. 

''I'll leave it for later, but promise me you'll eat it then.''

''I promise.''
