RIVON CHRIS🕰️🕰️

Chapter Five

"They ought to be back by now," Bashir said to himself, his mind racing with concern. This place isn't safe, and by now, Scar must have placed a huge bounty on their heads - our heads. I know him too well.

But Muan isn't here either, and that thought eased his mind. Maybe they were together.

"Where are we?" Hua whispered, her voice barely audible.

"I don't know," I replied, "but your curiosity brought us here."

"Don't be ridiculous, Chris. You followed me to a sire's place, not this dark room," she fired back.

"Either way, you caused it," I said, trying to deflect the blame.

"Shh, someone's coming," Mu warned, her voice low and urgent.

Great, I couldn't see a thing in this dark room. "Nice vision, since I can't see a thing," I whispered back to her, trying to make light of the situation.

The sound of someone's footsteps approaching made me tense up, and I wished something would save us - maybe a talking animal or... Shut up, you're about to die, and you still have foolish thoughts on your mind, a small voice inside my head chided.

"Hello there," said a fat man, his voice dripping with sleaze, as he struck a matchstone together to produce light. The room glowed with the light as he placed it on a torch stick, rubbing his greasy hands on his trousers. He touched Mu's cheek and grinned broadly. "Lovely, lovely."

I felt a surge of anger and protectiveness towards Mu. "Let her be," I growled.

"Oh, I see you don't want me touching your lover," he said, his eyes glinting with malice.

"She's not my lover," I said quickly, without thinking.
"But you've got feelings for her",he added

"Any results?asked Muan

"No,not yet I've searched the entire market places,every pond and all round the woods but there's no clue of their way about", replied Bashir.....oh God he taught,I shouldn't have left her alone

"And the boy?
"No sign,maybe they were taken,I know how curious Mu can be but it can't be to this extent",said the huge man, sinking on the chair beside him,"something isn't right".

"Well all you need is rest,they could be having some.. you know young adults stuffs and may need a little get a away",said Muan the smaller man passing a cup of an alcoholic drink to him.

"Or maybe your right",agreed Bashir taking the cup,"why do you love this make?asked Bashir as he took a sip of the liquor.
"Like I said it's my native gin",Muan answered and laughed,"drink on boy for a good day deserves a good brew......

"Mu are you okay?you haven't said anything in a while",said Chris,she didn't reply,"someone trying to play cool before death",he joked,her silence was so unusual and uncomfortable,"look you might be angry with me but it won't change anything at this point,we have to work together if we want to leave here alive",I said pausing to catch my breath

"Ok,so what plans do you have?she asked

"You, you're the plan",I said

"How?she asked turning to look at me.

"The man that's it,the chubby man I see he's into you maybe you could  use it and you know,talk him into freeing us,now how's that?I asked

"Great idea,maybe I could talk him into killing you and escape with me".she said

"Yes of cause...wait,kill me?no no no,no way",I fired thinking of how much she dislike me to make such a suggestion,"really I'd love to die but I don't want you to die as a result of missing me excessively",I teased.
"Really",said Mu Hua laughing slightly,"let's see".she said
