Justina had never been one to reject food, growing up she ate all her vegetables unlike her brother who has a very distinct palate, he has an abnormal love for meat, all his dishes has meat in them, he was their mother's favourite so she made sure her son was able to express and enjoy his love for meat. in her mother's words "my son is a growing boy, he needs protein"
"are you vegan?" asked Lilith as she slowly cut up her steak
"she has a taste for human flesh" said Red as she rub a piece of her rare steak in the small pool of blood surrounding her steak. Justina almost throw up, she is certain red is a vampire alien.
"how can we eat when my brother is out there?" she yelled
"like this" said Elliott as he cut a piece of his medium rare steak, place it into his month and made a show of chewing thoroughly "see, simple"
Justina sighed, her family is missing and here she is in a fancy restaurant in a fancy small red dress eating with a bunch of strangers. when Lilith told her to put on the dress, she didn't question it, when they got into a minivan and drove here, she didn't question it, when they ordered steak, she was hungry so she didn't question it but now sandwiched between Wasim and Lilith she wondered if she had missed her chance to escape. she knows they are her only option in finding her family, everyone she knows told her she has no family but they kidnapped her and offered her help, they haven't tried to kill her yet well except for the man who shot her and who by some miracle isn't here with them. maybe he doesn't like steak.
"why didn't you put up a fight?" asked Red "why haven't you tried to escape?" her suspicion eating away at her as she glared at Justina
"remember you told me not to" Justina said glaring back at her
"what's your point Red?" asked Elliott
"isn't she so willing in this? for all we know she could be pretending to not remember just so we find her family for her"
"your worries are well taken Red, it will be placed under consideration" said Wasim calmly
"remember what?" asked Justina becoming a little curious about Red hatred for her.
"she is cunning but this time we have the upper hand" smiled Elliot
"hello I'm right here" said Justina waving her hands
"I think they can see you" chuckled Lilith
"I know it's weird, you lot kidnapped me and offered to help me find my brother, you were the only ones who believed that I do have a family, do I like you no God forbid. Red is always speaking about how she wants to kill me, one of you literally shot me and the rest of you are behaving like some sort of weirdos but I don't care. what I do care about is my brother who we should be searching for right now"
"good speech. what did I miss?" asked Ryan standing behind Justina. she jumped slightly in her seat
"seriously you all need to stop creeping up on me"
"it's time" said Wasim
"time?" asked Justina "time for what?" she got no answer as they all stood up, Wasim placed some money on the table and walked away, they all followed him. Justina had no choice but to follow them. she couldn't tell if the money he placed on the table is enough for what they ate "great, wine and dash" she murmured to herself.
They kept walking for a while, no one said anything, she sighed as her mind run a million beats per minute, she thinks it not healthy for her heart to be beating this fast.
"if you don't mind me asking where....."
"I do mind" whispered Wasim, he was ahead of them but she felt it as if he spoke directly into her ears. it wasn't a cold evening but she shuddered none the less. his voice is calm, if she is asked what it taste like she would say honey. Wasim is a handsome man to her standard, he has beautiful clear milky skin, honey brown eyes with flecks of gold and dark mop of long hair which shaped his face perfectly, if he eats more he would have a very cute chubby cheeks for sure.
"don't get smittened" whispered Lilith walking beside her.
"what?...no way in hell" scoffed Justina
"I have been there, it's not a fun place" said Lilith. Justina looked at her in confusion "hell I mean"
"of course, Mother of demons" Justina has decided to play their game, indulge them, that's the least she could do, they are helping her find her brother after all. "so pray tell if you are the mother of demons, what would I be?"
"I'm not the mother, I'm just a controller and you my lady is the evil Queen"
"why evil? I could just be a Queen"
"nope, that's not badass" smirked Lilith as Wasim came to a stop, the rest stop as well. Justina looked at the building they stood in front off
"why are we at the nursing home?"
