Flight or Fight

Chapter 12

When I woke up, I found myself in the room again. Honestly, my first thought was to go out there and try to find a way out. I even woke up and went a few steps, feeling ready for anything, but then I stopped, and I started to think.

I decided that I will see what Dimitri does first, and then I will go. That was the plan I made, but when I found him in the kitchen, preparing food for us, I couldn't take a step anywhere.

He started to prepare the table ready, so when I woke up to eat with him.

Just now I realized, like an idiot, that I hadn't seen him eating since we arrived. He must be starving, but he waited for me. He waited for me to stop the idiotic act, and to come and eat.

This made me think if he is actually a bad guy. He is really making me question myself now. From the start the guy seemed pretty creepy and he gives me bad vibes, but probably it's just me. Probably he doesn't know how to approach people and I'm turning him into a creepy man.

Since I met him, he always tried to help me, without wanting something in return. Maybe I misjudged him.

At this point I didn't understand anything. I can't trust him yet but at the same time I can't say I don't trust him, because both feel so wrong. I don't even know anymore. Probably it is because of this forest? Or now I see just who he really is?

But I didn't want to just stay there and watch him, because I know he heard me coming even if he doesn't have his good werewolf hearing.

When I entered, he smiled softly and told me to sit down cause the food was ready. I did what he said but I didn't say anything. I was just watching him silently.

We started eating straight away. I mean both of us were too hungry to do anything. Surprisingly the food was delicious.

"You usually cook at home too? It's so delicious." I said, while I couldn't stop eating.

"Sometimes I do, but only when my father is not around. I can say that when my father is not around, I can be myself." He said, staring at the food for a few minutes and then he started eating.

Just hearing this made me want to hug him tight. It sounds so sad, that he needs to act in a way in front of his father, and he can't be himself.

I noticed speaking about his father made him sad, so I decided to do something that will lift his spirit a bit.

"I will wash the dishes, and after we can go for a walk." I said. Him hearing this looked at me surprised and asked, "You will not try again to escape from here?"

He really thought I would leave him here and I would try to save myself.

"Let's be real... I can't escape even if I want to. It's hard to accept that, but I don't have a choice. And plus, maybe we will find a way together, who knows." I said nicely, while he didn't know what to say and he just tried to finish his food quickly.
