Picture Perfect (Deidara x Reader)

Chapter 7: Changing Minds and Decision On Life

There were many different things running through your head at such a rate that it was causing you to have a headache. You had to stop yourself for a second in order to handle the situation without panicking. As you took a deep breath, you found yourself looking around the darkened room. It was hard to tell how large the room was because the only thing you could see was anything within the range of the singular lit candle. Its orange and yellow hue was sinking meaning that it had been lit for a while at the very least.

A horrible creaking sound made you wince as you tried to cover your ears, but you realized then that your limbs were tied together by some sort of thick rope. Light poured into the room making your eyes hurt as they adjusted. In the doorway, there was a female that looked about the same age as you. She was extremely doll-like being pale with mahogany colored hair and big gray eyes. She remained stone faced as she dragged something into the room behind her. A cart with something on top of it that made a loud sound every time that it moved.

"I am so sorry that they are treating you this way." The female said in a soothing monotone voice, "But, we have orders from our leader to make sure that you cannot escape."

She inched closer before stopping directly next to the bed. The cart froze behind her.

"If you promise not to try anything, I can untie you."

As she stood there, you wondered who the hell she was, and where you were currently located. The last thing that you remembered, you were in the Hidden Sand where-....

Your body trembled as the images of the last time you were conscious repeated in your mind. Mio, she was dead.

"Hello?"

Looking up to meet the female's gaze, you realized that she had asked you a question.

"I won't try anything." you finally said.

Relief seemed to appear on her face for a second, she then proceeded to loosen the ropes around you. It occurred that you might be able to overwhelm her due to her being shorter than you. However, you had no idea who this female was. She could be a ninja for all you knew, and there was no way to defend yourself in this kind of situation. This female had to be working alongside Deidara since he had been the one to kidnap you.

"There we go, you're free to move."

You gently stretched your arms feeling a sense of soreness from being trapped in one position for so long.

"Where am I?" you asked.

The female blinked before turning towards the cart. A tray covered with food was placed on the floor by you.

"You are currently in one of the many bases owned by the Akatsuki." she answered, "I wouldn't bother to try to escape. There's a seal on the only entrance, and only a member can open it."

"Akatsuki?"

Once again, the female blinked. She nervously tugged at the bottom of the sleeves of her long black and white striped sweater.

"You don't know who the Akatsuki are?" she muttered.

"No."

"Never mind. Sorry for saying anything."

She turned then began to walk towards the door.

"Wait!"

She flinched before looking back at you.

"Who are you? Why are you leaving me in here?"

Stretching the fabric of the bottom of her sleeves, she just continued to stare for a moment in silence.
