The Chosen

Chapter Three

********************************************

Waking up after being knocked out is a pain. My head hurts, my eyes are heavy and my chest aches! If I ever get out of here, Tobi is going to pay for this!

I looked around at my surroundings as I shakily sat up. The room I was in was huge, with white walls and grey tiled floors. There were three metal folding chairs, one office chair, and two metal tables.

One table had two handheld pistols, a knife and wires scattered around it while the other had a laptop and computer blinking as it downloaded something. There were also files scattered on the computer table and a brown bottle. A white board with names, addresses and accounts stood next to the metal tables. And a big flat screen tv was the only decoration on the walls.

My favorite piece of furniture was the metal cage I was in. I was even tied up with my hands behind my back and my feet roped together. I started to panic. I was kidnapped by one of my uncle's employees, who seems to hate me.

As a hunter you are trained not to fall prey to your fears, but right now I could care less! I wanted to ball in the corner of my cage and cry out for my uncle, brother, Vlad or even Solease.

What did Tobi want with me? Why not kill me in the first place? Was it money he wanted?

Being in the hunter business you get well paid so that couldn't be it. Maybe he's just this plain obsessive love struck psycho serial killer. Who wants to braid my hair, dress me in his mommies clothes and take advantage of me?

Now I was really panicking; my breathing became shallow as I looked for a way to escape.

"Good you're awake." Tobi's voice filled the room as he walked in.

Tobi was always on the quiet side when at work; I never would have guessed he was a hair braiding maniac!

"Look you're a good looking man Tobi but I have a boyfriend! Who's looking for me."

Tobi froze in mid step and stared at me as if I was the one who was insane. Me insane?! He had some nerve to consider me crazy!

"I hate having my hair braided by other people!" I added as I scooted to the far side of my cage.

With his jaw opened a slack I watched as Tobi reached over and grabbed a brown glass bottle that was on one of the metal tables.

"What the hell is she talking about? What was in this?" Tobi whispered as he scanned the bottle, his eyes moving from side to side as he read the contents. "You know what, why don't you go back to sleep." He added as he placed the bottle back on the table. "Clearly you're still loopy."

"I'm not loopy! You're the serial killer!" I accused while pointing a finger at him.

I swear I saw anger cross his face but he covered it with a grin. "Says the carnivore. The irony is thick in this place."

I had no words to say to that, he was right, I am a hunter, I may not go in many hunts like the others, but I still worked the business like they did. I was just as much a murderer as Tobi is a serial killer. But even if I am a hypocrite and what I am doing is wrong, I won't stop until I find those two!

"Why did you abduct me?"

"Because I fantasize with braiding your hair." He mocked as he sat down on one of the chairs and looked at some files. "Your stupid if you think I'ma touch you."

"Ok so I have an active imagination." I admitted making Tobi snort. "But your a guy and I'm a girl, what else should I think? If you would lay all the cards on the table and tell me what's going on we could work something out."
