Who Knew (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 32

“I win.” seeing that my hand has rock while Nina’s has scissors. For I don’t know how long we’ve been trying to entertain ourselves in this closed off room. I don’t even know if it’s already dark outside or not. A light bulb hanging from a wire connected to the ceiling luckily provides good enough light, so we’re able to see everything in this place.

A creaking sound makes us both jump a bit from our spot. Turning around I see it’s that guy again from before. “Well, well, looks like you are finally awake as well.” he says looking at Nina and then turns to look at me. “You and I are gonna have a nice chat and then I’ll return you to your friend. Let him out.” Another guy who I’ve never seen before opens the door and harshly pushes me out of the cell. “No Tommy! Where are you taking him?!” Nina shouts when the guy closes the door again but I try to give her a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry I’ll be back soon, he said we’re just gonna talk.” and then I’m pushed out of the room into a hallway.

It looks kind of old, like if this place was made in the 1800s or something. While gawking at the place I’m pushed again by the guy and I snap out of my daze. The man from before just walks in front of me to who knows where while the guy that pushed me twice already is silently walking behind me. “Uhm, I still don’t know your name.” I say after a little while of walking to the guy in front of me. He doesn’t respond at all and I just decide to keep my mouth shut after that.

Then finally he stops in front of a pair of huge doors made out of strong, beautifully polished wood. Opening them he goes inside but I stay where I am, not sure of what to do. However, again a push from that guy makes me go inside and the doors are shut afterwards, leaving me with this man. Looking at the room I’m quite surprised, it’s basically a tea room. He sits on one of the sofas and gestures for me to sit down as well.

Okay………

This is weird. I just obediently do as he says and sit down stiffly, no time to be relaxed about this.

“Well, what kind of tea do you prefer? We have strawberry, vanilla, raspberry, mint or lemon.” he expectantly looks at me but I shake my head, what if it’s poisoned? “Look, better do as I say Louis, or the torture you’ll get will last longer, got it?” at that moment I completely freeze. That’s why he brought me here, to torture me.

“Oh come on Louis, you didn’t think that we are only going to have a nice tea party right? No, this is for afterwards when I’m done with you so you can recover a bit before going back to that friend of yours. Now choose your flavor so we can get on with it.”

Without saying anything I just point at a flavor without thinking about it. The nervousness I’m feeling right now is almost unbearable. What will he do with me? Punch me, kick me, use some kind of weapon on me? That last thought really makes me feel terrified of what’s about to come.

“Great, let’s get going then.”  he stands up and walks away, stiffly I move from my place and follow him to most likely the torture room. He goes to a pair of doors which I haven’t seen while being in this room. It leads towards another room which contains a few fitness machines, mats on the floor and a punching bag. “Right let’s do this on the mats, they are very soft so your falls will hurt lesser, aren’t I nice?” he wickedly laughs and walks towards them and waits for me expectantly.

With wobbly steps I also go towards the mats, feeling extremely nauseous of what’s about to happen. I knew that this was going to come sooner or later, and I would do it gladly if it means Nina won’t get hurt.

“This will show him a bit of how I felt.” right after that, I get punched in the stomach and take a few steps back. It’s no use to fight back since he’s a wolf and is much stronger than I am. I take a few deep breaths before I’m hit again but to the shoulder this time. “This will certainly make him angry but it’s much less worse than losing your mate.” I clench my teeth and then I’m hit in my side, making me fall to the ground. I try to steady my breathing but it’s very hard due to the pain I’m feeling all over my body.
