The Unexpected

The Unexpected: The Agreement

"The Lord made everything for a purpose, even the wicked for an evil day."

Proverbs 16, 4

The camp wasn't even very big. But nevertheless, I wondered how other people could not discover it. I guess they must have their own ways of hiding it. The other guys that kidnapped us were staying a few meters away from the truck. They went along with Mickey who was a bit release when he saw that everything was ok with me. We didn't have time to talk but our exchanging views were enough for now. The leader or whoever he was, mentioned something and pulled me harder than was necessary.

I looked around the camp while we were walking to a small house that looked more exquisit than the others. Well, actually it was the only house around here. There were only tents for the members of this…this clan, I guess. There was a fire place in the middle of the camp with trunks around it. One big man was sitting on one of them. He held a piece of wood in his hands and carved something in it with a knife. He didn't mentioned the news, us, coming. Also, he had a sad expression on his face.

A few other men were standing around the fire laughing at something. They stopped when they saw us.

Another man just came out of his tent, streching and looking very messy. He looked at Mickey and then very curious at me. I felt uncomfortable under his gaze and quickly looked away.

Oh how I love to be watched from men that are criminals and make me feel uncomfortable! And that smell! Ugh, what was that?! A mix of sweat and dirt and a lot of testosterone. I have never experienced anything like that before. I mean in High School after our boys were in the gym, it also had a smell like men have but it was nothing compared to that! I mean, I actually like the smell men have but this was just too much for my taste. Hopefully I won't have to smell it the whole time I will be here. My nose will become accustomed to it I think.

As we were getting nearer to that house, I felt a bit more nervous and noticed that I felt my body moving more in the direction of my enemy, the one who was holding me beside him. Why, I had no idea. Was he making me feel safer in his presence? No! Naomi, remeber the things that happened in the truck a few minutes ago. He is unpredictable! He cannot make you feel safe!

Strangers P.O.V.

She was looking around the camp as we were walking to the boss. Of course I noticed the looks on the faces of our men. Fresh meat, just as I said before. They are all hungry and animals. At least, I haven't experienced anything different.

But suddenly, I felt her moving a bit towards my right side. Did she welcome my presence or was it just accidentally? Anyway, it felt good. Randomly I wanted to protect her from those beasts. I wanted to make her feel safe. But why?! I tried to convince myself of the opposite but with no success. But I don't have to see her any longer. She will be sold and away from me just in a few minutes.

Zeus opened the door and we all walked in and to the main room where the boss got his jaw shaved by a slave. I could feel her nervousness even stronger than before. I let go of her arm but strangely, I had the feeling that she didn't want me to let go of her. Couldn't she just decide what she wanted?!

"Boss, I got what you were looking for."

The slave finished his work and the boss looked at them with doubt. I hope it isn't that bad…he stood up from his big chair and walked towards Mickey with slow and heavy steps. His hands placed on his back, looking at him up and down. Then he looked him in the eyes for a few seconds. I guess he wanted to see if there is some sort of fire in them, just like I had when I became a member of this clan.

The he walked to her. The same procedure but he walked around her and stopped in front of her with a small evil grin. I had the urge to punch him in his face but I knew I had to control myself. Why do I have such feelings? It started this morning when I first met her…
