The Enigma of Love

7

   You slept well for the first night since your abduction. You thought of how caring Dennis was, you played the memory over and over in your head, the comforting feeling lulled you to sleep. You almost forgot that it was Dennis who put you in this situation in the first place.
   You felt your eyelids grow heavier and heavier, soon you were in a deep slumber, and for the first time, had no nightmares.
   When you awoke the next morning, you heard a slightly unfamiliar voice.

   "Oh cool, you're finally awake!"

   You sat up and looked in the doorway, you saw the same man who kidnapped you, wearing a tracksuit and crouching in the doorway. This personality was neither Dennis nor Ms. Patricia.

   "You know, you make funny noises in your sleep."

   He had a slight lisp, it made him sound like a child.

   "Who are you?" You ask.

"My name's Hedwig, who are you?"

   "I'm (Y/N). How old are you, Hedwig?"

"I'm nine!"

   He held up nine fingers as he said this.

"Are you the one Mr. Dennis keeps talking about?"
  
   "Dennis talks about me?"

"Yeah, he talks about you a whole lot. He said you're pretty or whatever."

   This caused a blush to bloom on your cheeks, you couldn't help but smile a little. You quickly shook that off though. You reminded yourself that you shouldn't be catching any stupid feelings.
   Hedwig was apparently just a kid, he was probably naive enough to help you escape. You decide to get to know him a little, he might have some useful information.

   "So, Hedwig, what do you like to do for fun?"

"Umm, I like drawing, watching TV, playing with my gerbils, drawing, watching TV, listening to music, etcetera."

   "You like music?"

"Yeah, I keep my CD player in my room under my window, Kanye West is my man."

   Window! Thank God!

"Could you show me? Could you show me your CD player and your Kanye West albums?"

   "It's in my room, though."

"Oh.. I see.."
  
   You feigned disappointment and then pretended to have an idea.

   "Hey, maybe you could sneak me there and show me!"

"Uh, I dunno, I don't wanna get in trouble.."

   "Please Hedwig! I want to see all the cool stuff in your room! Show me your gerbils, I love gerbils, c'mon, please?"

"Alright fine! But it has to be when everybody's asleep."

  "Awesome!"

"I gotta go, Ms. Patricia is making me a hotdog for lunch."

   He shot up and closed the door behind him. You'd rather go to his room right now, but at least he was taking you. You were surprised at how easy it was to convince him to break the rules. Now, all you have to do is wait for tonight.
