I gazed astonishingly at Seb who had his face plastered into the take out greedily. I took out my phone and showed him the message. With a confused expression, he read them again and again.

At last, he put out the Sim card and destroyed the phone by stomping on it with his boots; I wonder why. Then he took me to the cabin, asked me to pack everything and I did as he asked me. I saw him putting the Sim card into the first drawer by my bed and walked out from the cabin.

He asked me to wait few feet away, from the next cabin to mine and talked with the man of the house. I saw he nodded his head at Seb and walked back inside. Seb did that to every other cabin's head and then walked me out towards the road where stone houses, higher and bigger than the cabins were situated. I could see the private beach filled in the far end, with the bar, food shacks and disco club clearly where I was standing now.

I wondered what he said to all those men. He didn't say anything to me at all. I assume he must have warned everyone. Why? Why do they care if something happens to me? I am their no one, right?

Through a clearing, he took me to the most beautiful timber house in the far end, up above a small hill with sturdy trees reaching high into the sky. I have never seen such a house which looks modern but has its resemblance to an ancient hut. The lantern lights that hung from intervals in different length outside projected a soft orangish glow that made me want to curl and sleep then and there.

Don't ask I am weird... I know. The oriel windows with cushions inside made me just fall in love with the house. The drapes were pulled and a thin lacy curtain was pulled down. The insides were too lit with a soft orangish yet bright light. Something about this house was homely and cozy.

Before entering the house, Seb turned to me to him from the house and said, "I want to keep you safe and being with Bethlam uncle is the safest. Don't ask and don't argue. He will take care of you as well as these people. I will come meet you soon. Don't go anywhere alone, please. They might know where you are. Although we weren't running away from anyone specifically, I want to keep you safe. And... ok, so, umm, well, this is Bethlem's house."

He knocked on the door and then rang the bell which sounded like church bells. I smiled at the soothing sound. After a few minutes, the beautiful blond opened the door in pink shorts and a darker pink tank top. Her eyes lit with a special glimmer when she saw Seb. But, Seb politely asked for Bethlam and he came out in loose baggy shirts and sweats.

"Samantha, dear... oh sorry, Lillian, how are you, honey?" He embraced me in a warm hug and I saw Carolina looking at Seb with a questioning glare. He ignored her.

"Uncle, they found her number and mock messaged her to meet alone in the cabin. She is not safe. Until we get every detail, I think she is..."

"Talk no more. Carrie, dear, take her to the guest wing." It was an order and Carrie did as she was told with a very discreet scowl.

What is her problem?

I could hear snippets of what they spoke and Seb said something about the clues.

But, in this letter, there was no clue.

Carrie opened the door and I looked inside. The queen sized bed looks amazing with its beautiful caramel quilt comfort and umpteen pillows in cream, caramel, and white colors. The blankets matched the quilt and the carpet underneath the bed. The walls were a lighter shade of the caramel color with golden highlights and the fairy lights decorations made the room look too cozy and magical to be true.
