Why would he do something like that? Why me?
She was now seating in front of him. Nakikipagsukatan siya ng tingin sa amused nitong mga mata.
''I accept your deal. I will help you...ONLY if you obey everything i ask you to'' pagbibigay diin nito
''As long as you only ask something related to that evil old man, i'll do it'' she assured him
He smiled at her na parang nakapagclose ito ng isang billion worth proposal.
''But i do not know you'' she told him. Kilala siya ng lalaki pero siya ay ni hindi alam ang pangalan nito. She only know him dahik ito ang susunod niyabg papatayin kapag nagawa na niya ang gusto sa ama. There's darkness in her too. And this is her chance, her best clever crime.
He was taken a back with her question. She did not know me? But then he thought, Avery Paige spent her 10 years of life in Cali and DC, she wouldn't probably recognize him.
He amusingly offered his hand ''my name is Devon, Avery Paige''
Nagdalawang isip pa si Avery kung tatanggapin niya ang inaalok nitong hand shake. This would be the second time she will feel his skin after that...night. It disgust her. Touching his skin sent urges in her mind..urge to kill.
But she doesnt want him to think she was scared of him. She's avoiding him to feel superior. Ang pagkawala ng pagkababae niya ay hindi magiging dahilan ng kahinaan niya. She will fight him. In any way. He cannot be in charge of her.
She took his hand. Bolta boktaheng kiryente ang dumaloy sa kanyang katawan mula sa kamay nito. Nagtindigan ang balahibo sa batok niya ngunit napalitan iyon ng disgusto ng sumingit sa isipan niya kung paano nito ninakaw at sinira ang pagkababae niya. Agad niyang binawi ang kamay mula dito.
He chuckled na parang natutuwa sa inakto niya. Demonyo talaga..
''Come on, let's disinfect your swollen feet'' anyaya nito sa kanya
Nuon lamang siya nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na pagmasdan ang kabuuan ng bahay. When she was dragged here ay masyadong madilim at di niya nakitang mabuti kung gaano kalaki ang bahay. All she knew was her room was on the second floor.
Hindi pala ito basta bahay lamang. It was a mansion..with no maids. Mukhang luma na ito ngunit pansin na matagal na itong tinitirhan dahil malinis pa rin. Lalo tuloy niya gustong malaman kung sino si Devon. She laughed inside her head. Even his name sounds evil.
Bumaba silanng hagdan at lumiko sa kanan nito patungo sa kusina. Duon niya natagpuan si Tom at ang aroma ng niluluto nitong pagkain.
Gulat na gulat itong makita siya sa labas ng kwarto at agad na napalitan ng takot at kaba ang mga mata nitong bumaling kay Devon.
Ramdam na ramdam niya ang tensyon at ang awkward ba atmosphere. She did not want to be the captived girl in this place. She needs to lift herself. She was raised to be a fighter and a survivor. Nakakatakot na hindi niya pa din lubos na kilala si Devon at ang mga plano nito pero ipinagpaliban na niya iyon. For the pass 12 days ay hindi na siya nito muling sinaktan, she can make that as assurance na kahit kaunti ay ligtas siya sa desisyon niya.
She roamed her eyes around and stopped at the sight of a glass door. Ang hapag ay kumpleto sa kubyertos, like a royalty would be dining. A psycho and his perfectionist personality.
She grabbed the bread knife, ibinaon niya iyon sa tagiliran ni Tom. She knew he would rescue him first. Mabilis siyang tumakbo papunta sa pinto.
Nasilaw siya sa liwanag ng araw pero patuloy pa din siyang humakbang para makalayo, but she failed.
Devon got her, his arms circled her waist to lift her. Nagpumiglas siya ngunit walang napuntahan ang lakas niya dito. They went back inside, she saw Tom leaning on the counter pressing his side kung saan niya ito sinaksak.
"K-kuya, dont. Please. She-she didn't kill me. Mab-mababaw lang" hikaos nito
"bitawan mo ako!"
galit na galit siya nitong itinulak. she fell hard sa sampal na binigay nito.
"hayop ka!" sigaw niya dito
"iisa lang kayo ng ama mo ano? wala kayong kurap sa pagpatay." malamig nitong tintigan si Avery.
She felt a lump in her throat. Her eyes went down on his feet.
Sinalikop ng palad niito ang mukha nya, he stared at her with hatred.
"ano? did you realize that as well?" he mocked her "sisiguraduhin kong masusulit kita"
"N-no!" she covered herself with her arms but it was too late, pinunit na nito ang damit niya exposing her breast. She screamed, mas malupit ito dahil galit na galit ito sa kanya. Hindi niya masikmura ang bawat galaw nito sa kanya.
tinakpan niya ang sarili sa karampot na telang natira sa kanyang damit "p-pa-patayin k-kita" sa gitna ng hikbi niya ay nagawa niyang sabihin ang mga iyon.
"i told you, may the best killer wins" sagot nito sa kanya bago lumabas ng kwarto.
She cried herself all night, masakit ang katawan niya pero mas masakit ang kalooban niyang muli na naman nitong dinungisan. hindi sya natulog para paghandaan ang pagpasok nitong muli sa silid pero dumating ang araw at hindi na ito muling nagpakita.
