The Stay

Chapter 13

Hey you guys!!!!! I'm sorry it took me so long to update. I've been slacking real bad.  I won't bore you anymore and let you get you get to the next chapter. OH WAIT!!!! READ THE NEXT BOLD PART IT'S VERY IMPORTANT 

Hi!!! Okay in this chapter there is drug usage. Nothing too crazy it's just weed. Everyone in this scene are the ages 18-21 so they are legal adults. There is still underage smoking and if you are uncomfortable with that I suggest you skip this chapter. I'd rather you not read it then to try to force yourself and be uncomfortable. Okay that's all for real this time. 

Keegan stared at me as I stared back at him. "You tryna fuck?" Keegan teased. I gasped and pushed Keegan out of his chair. "You're disgusting!" I sneered at him. Keegan just shrugged and continued to look at me from the floor. "Yeah sure, but what do you want to do today?" he asked. I wanted to get out of here and go back home. I also didn't want my whole day to be boring trying to think of an escape plan like yesterday. I had to find a balance of finding an escape route and getting more information from Keegan. I knew I couldn't just run out. Tried that yesterday and was caught by Zion who I'm assuming is a guard. And he can't cover the house by himself so there's probably more guards. Keegan was my best way out of here. I knew I couldn't manipulate Sebastian as well.

All I had to do was play nice and give him affection. "What can we do?" I asked. Keegan sat up and got off of the floor in one swift movement. He properly sat in the chair and folded his hands on the table. "We can do anything. We can play video games, we can play board games, we can watch movies, we can bake, we can do anything you can think of" Keegan stated looking me deeply in the eyes. I stood there debating the choices for a few minutes before asking "Can we play Monopoly?" Keegan nodded his head and stood up. "But we can't play with just the two of us, it'll be no fun. We have to recruit more people, "he stated. Keegan grabbed my head and began leading me out the eating area before I could ask who he was going to recruit. 

Walking with Keegan throughout this mansion was making my head hurt. Who needed this much space and why? Keegan walked up to a door and opened it loud music was coming out the room. What was inside blew my mind. Mahogany bookshelves that went all the way up to the ceiling, every shelf was full of different books of every color, shape and size. "Carrot!!!" Keegan yelled out over the music. Walking towards the music we came across Carrot dancing on one of the many tables that were in the room. Her ginger hair was in two braids and she was wearing an oversized gray pullover sweatshirt and a pair of black leggings. "Carrot!!!" Keegan yelled again causing her to get startled.

Carrot turned around and looked at us wide eyed. Her eyes relaxed when she saw it was us. Carefully Carrot got off the table and turned her music off. "I thought you guys were my mom. I'm supposed to be tidying up but I got distracted" she admitted. Keegan nodded and told her we were going to play Monopoly and we needed more people. "I wanna play. We should go get Zion. Come on, follow me!!" Carrot declared. Not waiting for us Carrot walked around us and out the library. Keegan took my hand again and we followed Carrot. As we went through the mansion I tried to memorize things. The art work, the decorations, where everything was placed, stuff like that. My eyes widened as we walked into the foyer. Even though the foyer was minimally decorated it was still beautiful.

Scribble art in black frames hung off the white walls. The dark wood shined as the sunlight from the hexagon sky roof shined in. Two arched windows sat on each side of a white double arched door. Zion stood on one side of the arched door while another blonde buff guard stood on the other side. "You guys stay here I got this!" Carrot affirmed. She walked off to talk to Zion while Keegan and I stood in the archway. "Are there guards like Zion stationed around the house?" I asked Keegan. I already know the answer, I'm just trying to make conversation that way we weren't standing in silence. "Of course Muffin. Why do you ask?" He answered. "It- uhhh... Makes me.. Feel safer knowing there's people around protecting me" I stammered out not being prepared for his question "Why do we need guards to protect us and stand around the house?"

Keegan smirked and ruffled my hair. He wouldn't tell me why and it was kind of concerning. So far I've been kidnapped and taken to an unknown place with familiar people, then I was told there were cameras in my house and I was being watched outside of my home too. No one will tell me what's really going on so I guess I have to find out for myself. Carrot came back with a stoned faced Zion. "Who pissed you off?" Keegan asked, raising an eyebrow. "I have resting bitch face" he answered "Carrot told me we were playing Monopoly" Keegan told me we would be going to the game room where all the games were held and played. I tried to remeber my way there but I couldn't. The house was way too big and there were too many staircases and turns.

I would definitely need more than just Keegan to get out of here. I would also need to become close to Carrot and Zion as well. Carrot worked here for a while and could be useful, and Zion was definitely useful because he's a guard so he'll know things like cameras, secret exits and schedules of people coming in and out. By people I mean Sebastian. Keegan would be easy to fool; he just wants my attention and affection. Sebastian was a bit harder to figure out. I don't know what he wants from me so I don't know what to use to his advantage. The game room was even better than the foyer. A large wood table with matching chairs sat in the middle of the room. Mounted on the right side wall was an eighty-five inch Tv. 

Black leather couches surrounded the tv in a C like shape. There was a large glass coffee table in the middle of the couches. The inside of the coffee table seemed to also be storage to hold the video game controllers. The left side had mounted pool cues on the wall. Next to the cues was a black storage shelf that held all the board games. They had so many, some I recognized, others I didn't. Light from the large glass windows shined onto the pool table that was behind the regular table. "Carson cme sit next to me" Keegan started patting a chair next to him. I didn't even notice he moved from beside me. Zion was also already seated and Carrot was grabbing the game off the shelf. "Nobody connect to the speaker!!!" Zion called out "We're listening to my playlist!!!"

A robotic voice spoke saying "Bluetooth connected" I sat down next to Keegan as Carrot came over with the game. Setting everything up took only a few minutes. Once everyone picked their piece and had their money we rolled the dice to see who would go first. The order was Zion, me, Carrot, and then Keegan. I observed everyone closely while we played. I watched how they reacted when they got happy or mad or confused. Being able to know their facial expressions and matching the emotions will come in handy. I just know it. Fifteen minutes into the game Zion pulled a blunt and lighter out of his jean pocket. "So you just walk around with a blunt in your pocket?" Carrot asked. Zion shrugged and answered that he sometimes did.  

I've personally never smoked but the students at my old highschool would sometimes have smoke sessions in the school bathroom. I've always wanted to try it, I heard it calms people down and mellows them out. "May I have a hit?" I asked timidly. Without saying anything Zion passed the blunt to me. I took a puff and passed it back to him. The smoke burned my throat causing me to cough up the smoke. "Damn it Zion, why'd you give it to him with no water!!" Keegan yelled as he stood up and left the table. I was too busy coughing to see where he went. I held onto the edge of the table for support. Keegan came back with a bottle of water and handed it to me. I quickly opened the water and drank it. The water didn't soothe my throat, but it helped some. 

I sat back in my chair properly. The blunt was passed around in a rotation as the game continued, but now it was getting more serious. "Carson if you buy that railroad I will cut your leg off in your sleep" Zion threatened me. "Carrot I think I wanna buy this railroad" I joked. Zion abruptly stood up "Don't try me Carson!!! I'll jump over this table!!!" He yelled. I only laughed at his antics. "Dude I don't want your railroad I was just playing with you" I joked "Besides I got my eyes set on something else" I looked over at Keegan to see how he was doing. He was acting pretty normal, the only thing that was different was his eyes were low and red. I on the other hand wasn't doing all too well. My head was swimming and everytime I moved my head everything else would take a few seconds to catch up with me before it moved too.

"You know what would be fun?" Carrot asked "If we got some alcohol. Hold on right I'll be right back" This night was going to be interesting. I could feel it or my stomach was hurting for another reason.
