Who are you ?

10- Puzzled

I didn't sleep that night . Well , how could I sleep ? After all the things that I've seen , after I've been kidnapped by a friend whom I thought was my life , after all the mess that happened , I didn't . I kept thinking , trying to figure out the situation . It was more like solving an algebraic equation . Jk , too much math .

Wake up , you had enough sleep .
.
.
.
Come on now , don't make me hit you , master wouldn't like that .
.
.
.
You leave me with no choice then ,

* Splash *

I came into consciousness swiftly , as the water smeared my face . I woke up , realising I was locked up between four walls . A man in black suit stood in front of me . I was lying on the ground . I didn't know how I got there though .

What do you want ?

I asked impolitely .

Man - Be careful how you speak , else the consequences might hurt you .

Me - First , you lock me up for no reason , second , you threaten me , what do you expect ? Respect for all the shit you're doing ??

I couldn't take it anymore . Every minute annoyed me . Every single minute I spent in that cell .

Man - Watch your words !

The man grabbed a gun from his coat and pointed it at me . He pushed my head with the gun . It hurt .

Easy , George . We need her now . You can kill her once our work with her is done .

Agustus patted the man's shoulder and calmed him down .

If you say so , master .

The man backed away . I saw Agustus with all the hatred I had . The fact is , i didn't even want to see him . His face annoyed me now . Not cute anymore .

Where's all that annoyance coming from huh ? You've got a lot of work to do today .

Agustus what's gotten into you ? Are you insane ????

Shhhh ....

He shushed me with his palm . Memories came back . All the fun , mischief , love , everything . Nostalgia of our time together got tears in my eyes . I couldn't hold them back . He could see the pain in my eyes , still , he was cold .

So Ari .... oh sorry ! Aria . My bad ! Where are you actually from ?

It hurt me , the words pierced me . Every . Single . Word . I didn't answer him .
.
.
Boys , I need you to go out so that I can get the answers to my questions .

        All the men bowed and walked away . It was just Agustus and me now . He smirked , in an evil way this time , and sat down . He caught a gun in his hand and started swinging back and forth . He wasn't looking at me . He was just thinking . It was so creepy to see the fun-to-be-around and cute Gus in a psychic way . At once , he got up and pressed the gun at my cheek . He pushed me towards the wall . My head hit the wall . I shut my eyes closed .

So tell me Aria Minnette , where are you from ?
.
.
.
I still didn't answer . Now he pushed the gun even harder , making my skin turn red . Tears rolled down my cheek but I kept my mouth shut .
