A Killer's Obsession

Chapter 11

Aera Pov:

Mingyu came into my room again after a few days. He looked strangely excited and I sat up warily.

"Come with me."

"What for?"

"A cooking lesson, your skills are atrocious!" The man smiled a toothy grin.

"How do you know my cooking skills are bad?" I retorted.

"Since we've been watching you of course."

I shuddered in horror.

"Aw don't be so upset, it was for your good."

Mingyu quickly dragged me outside, and for the first time I got a glance of my surroundings.

"You guys live in a fucking penthouse?" I exclaimed, eyes widening at the immense wealth displayed all over the building.

"Heh, the Entity was nice enough to give a good living space for our mission."

"What exactly was your mission?"

Mingyu paused before suddenly grabbing my throat and slamming against one of the walls.

"Your little escapade down there caused a bunch of the survivors to escape to the waking world. A shortage in other words. Our job has been to find new targets to refill those losses. Let me tell you, it's a big pain in the ass!"

I gulped and urgently tapped on his arm to signify that I was losing air. Just as I felt darkness prick the back of my eyes, Mingyu's grip released and I fell gasping for breath.

"Bastard. . ." I choked out.

"Shut it, and get on up. We have a lot to do."

I swallowed the insults that were on the tip of my tongue and followed the male to the kitchen. Mingyu ushered me to a chair and I frowned.

"Aren't we cooking?" I asked.

"Yes we are. Except you won't touch anything."

"What?"

"Your role, Missy, is personal taster."

"Great."

"I know right?"

And with that the cooking began. After about two hours of work, Mingyu began to begin the cleanup process. Bored, I left my seat and handed the male some of the dishes.

"Aera? What are you doing?"

"What do you think? I'm helping you."

"I thought I told you to stay put." Mingyu frowned.

"Well,I don't care so are you going to accept my help or not?" I retorted.

The male sighed.

"Hand me that plate."

I nodded. As I transferred the dish, I noticed a small metal spoon that was lying on the table. If I could sneak that into my room, I might be able to unscrew some of the nuts and bolts that were holding my chains in place. Biting my lip, I quickly turned around and handed over a bowl while reaching behind with my other hand to grab the piece of silverware. Mingyu looked up as I had just finished hiding the spoon in my pants pocket.

"Ahem. Did you take something?"

"No. Why?"

Mingyu's eyes narrowed.

"Turn around."

I gulped and slowly turned, making sure to cover my hand over the pocket with the spoon.

"Uh huh. Alright you're in the clear."

Mingyu set down the plate he had been washing and suddenly pulled me down the hall.

"Where are we going?" I yelped.

"Back to your room."

"Why?"

"I don't trust you."

"Ugh."

I groaned as the male quickly clamped on the chains onto my legs.

"Aera. I just want to let you know if you even try to escape, I will not hesitate to chop off an arm and a leg." He hissed, tapping both of my limbs.

I glared harshly back.

"So last chance. Are you thinking of doing anything I should know about?"

I took a deep breath before answering.

"No. There's nothing."
