You Smell Like Trouble.

Chapter 13: Blade Loves me

I open my eyes to find myself in a bedroom that's completely foreign to me. The room itself is really pretty, but it's not mine. Or Blade's. Where the hell am I?

I stand up slowly, and a shot of pain goes through my left leg. I look down to see my knee swollen: they must've hit me with something to make sure I couldn't run.

"Shit." I whisper.

A knock hits the door, "Natania? Are you up?" a voice calls.

I know that voice: it's Dominic.

I scurry to the door, as fast as I can and open it, "Dominic? Where the hell am I? Did you have them do this to me?"

He sighs, "it's for your own good, Natania. Blaze isn't good for you, so I brought you here to live in Norway with me. There's so much fun stuff to-"

"No! I don't care if he was good for me or not! I wanna go back to him." I protest.

"Natania. He traded you for peace, you know that right? I offered a deal with him, out of jest, and he took it. It was you for a little more power."

What?

"A-are you serious?"

"Yes. When I said I grew quite a liking to you at that party, I wasn't joking, beautiful. I saved you." he says, genuinely.

Blade wouldn't do this shit to me, I know it.

"Really? You're not like... lying to me or anything?" I play along.

"Of course not, I'd never. I know we don't know each other well, but I feel this strong connection to you. Just say the words, and I'll protect you from him. From everyone." he rubs my cheek.

His hands are calloused and they feel scratchy and rough.
Blade's hands on the other hand, are soft. Not too soft, though. They were still rough, but in a manly way. Dominic's is rough in a predator way.

"I'm not too sure I'll need protecting from Blade if he sold me, right?" I smile. "Though, I'm kind of glad I'm not with him anymore. He was also so cold." I lie.

Dom laughs, "that's true. What would you like to do today?"

"Mm... shopping. I'd like to see what kind of things are here."

False. I just need to get out to find some kind of phone; anything. I memorized Blade's number just in case something like this happened.

"Of course, my love. There's a pair of clothes there, get yourself ready then we'll head out." He kisses my cheek then leaves out and closes the door.

When I wash my face, I scrub it extra hard to remove his dirty fingerprints from it.

I change into the sundress he left me and slide my shoes on.

I walk downstairs to see him waiting at the door for me.

"You look beautiful." he compliments.

Ugh.

"Thank you." I smile.

I really hope Blade has found out where I am by now. I hope he's coming soon.

"We're going to head out of Norway tomorrow." Domonic says.

"What? Why? It's beautiful out here." I ask.

I bet it's because Blade is coming.

"Mm... I just wanna take you everywhere. We'll come back soon enough, worry not."

"Oh, alright. I, uhh... do my parents know where I am?"

"Oh, yeah. They actually said it'd be best for you to be with me. They said they'd love to have us stop by some time as well. Hm, let's go in here. I see a matching suit and dress I'd like us to have." he says as he walks into the store.
