Life and Love. (ON HOLD)

Ch 25: Water

Mitch's POV

"Where did Nate and Dakota go?" I say as we get out of the car at the masquerade party.

"I don't know but don't worry too much, they are most probably in the bushes somewhere having good ol' time." Eden says with a little laugh as she puts on her mask and everyone follows by doing the same.

"Yeah most probably." Amber says as we walk up to the door of my cousins huge country house and there is already quite a few people inside.

I open the door as i look back and see Damon and Amber arm in arm and Eden walks up to me and smoothly does the same thing.

"Well that was smooth." I say as she just smiles as we walk inside where the music is loud and lights are flickering.

"So where is your cousin?" Damon asks as his brown eyes glare at me through his black mask.

"He will be here somewhere." I say as we all move slowly through the dancing crowd.

"Mitch!" I hear as i look around and see my cousin, John, walking down the stair case in black jeans, green button up shirt and a black and grey mask with his blondie-brown hair brushed into a quiff.

"John!" I yell as he suddenly has two girls under his arms.

"Cuz, where have you been?" John asks as we walks up to me through the crowd and gives me a hug.

"Around."

"Well definitely not around here." John says with a cheeky smile.

"Oh John, these guys are a few mates and you've met Damon before." I say as everyone introduces themselves with a handshake.

"Nice to meet you guys, I'm sorry but i have to jet so i will talk to you later. Make sure you guys enjoy yourselves." He says as he walks through the crowd of raised hands and feathery masks.

"Who knew such a place like this existed in the middle of nowhere?" Eden says as she grabs her self a drink from one of the passing trays.

"I know right? He has got to be rolling in the green." Amber replies as she grabs herself a drink too.

"He has done well for himself, he is a lawyer and a great one at that. He also used to be some kinda finance person so he also knows how to handle his money." I say as we all crowd around this table which was a little bit outside the dancing crowd.

"Good for him, he has earned it then." Eden says as he eyes fixate on John as he walks up stairs.

"He is a player, Eden." I say as she just shrugs.

"He has beautiful blue eyes, luscious blonde hair, a million dollar smile and most probably a killer body. Totally not a player at all." Amber says as Damon stares at her with a raised eyebrow.

"What? Im just trying to prove a point." Amber says as i let out a slight laugh.

"That better be it." Damon says with a smile as he wraps his arm around her.

"Yeah he is an obvious player but he is a damn sexy player." Eden says as i just stare at her.

"Wow thanks for noticing how hot my cousin is when you know very well that i am trying to make you mine." I says as i let out a small laugh and scull one of the drinks from a passing tray.

"Ok ok I'm sorry, i will not go after your very hot cousin but only if you prove to me that you want real relationship." Eden says as Amber and Damon are just standing there with wide eyes.

"How exactly am i supposed to do that?" I ask and she just responds with a slight shrug of her shoulders.

Travis' POV

"Wake your lazy butt up big boy!" The strange figure yells as he enters the dark room where i am still chained up to the fencing.

"Good, you're not dead." He says as he places a jug of water on a near by table and pours some into a glass.

"You look like you could really go for a drink." He says as he walks up to me and lifts my head.

I feel a slight beam of light on my face which also shines into the guys eyes. His eyes stare straight into mine and he has a toothpick resting in his mouth.

"I bet you wish you could drink huh?" He says as he gives a slight chuckle and sculls the drink in front of me as he drops my head.

I feel the chains around my wrist slowly cutting deeper and deeper into my skin and bruising becomes very visible on my ankles where the cuffs have begun to feel apart of me.

"You know its been 12 hours since you last drank? How long can the average body last without water and is your body the average body or is it worse? When you are stuck in one place for too long questions start to run into your head and sometimes they can make you crazy." He says as he disappears into the dark and pours another glass.

"I guess i should give you a little drink since thats why i was sent down here." He says as he steps back into the light and i notice this tattoo of a card on his bicep, an ace of spades to be exact.

"Open up precious." He says as he picks my head up and places the glass on my lips.

He lifts the glass higher and i feel the water rush down my throat, reviving a bit of my vocal chords and starts to get rid of the dry blood taste in my mouth.

As he removes the glass from my mouth i look at the man who had no expression on his face, he was obviously bored.

"S-something wrong?" I struggle to say as i let out a cough.

"Oh the corpse talks." He says as his eyes brighten and this huge grin appears on his face.

"Y-yeah." I say as he comes closer and grabs a chair to sit about 5 metres from me.

He had muscle but he definitely was classed a muscular man. He was just tall and had a descent amount of sarcasm in his grin and eyes. His blue eyes were riddled with a bit of psycho and pure nuts but slightly smart, his grin was definitely smart ass worthy and the way he held himself was strong. This dude is a hard one to figure out, he is half a psychotic idiot and then the other half is like a smart and well kept business man or even rich man.

"So lets have a good game of Q and A my talking corpse."
