Darkness of The Night

Chapter 4

I woke from the noise of a door nob being being unlocked. Where am I? Crap I am still in a closet. It is completely dark in here. There is some clothes hanging from a rack, that is all I could tell because they were right in front of me keeping the light from under the door out of my eyes.

The door unlocked and it opened with a bit of a creek. I heard someone walk in two steps then stop.

"Tara I know your in here come out." It was Ace, of course it would be his room that I am in. Just with my luck today it would be the man who kidnapped me. I won't say anything and maybe he will leave.

"I know your scared but you can't stay in here forever. Plus I bet your starving." He was right about that I was really hungry just the thought of food makes my stomach grumble. So I stood up making sure I didn't hit my head on anything and made my way to the door.

I opened the door to see that Ace has taken his shirt off (with the lab coat). He was facing his bookshelf. His back was really muscular. He had put his coat and shirt on his bed, the coat was ripped up and had a few blood stains on it same with the shirt.

"Excuse me." He turned around and went in his closet. His hair seemed dirtier. As he went in there he stole a quick glance at me. He grabbed a short sleeved shirt out of his closet, it was blue. "So this is where you ran off to huh?" He sliped the shirt on and came out of the closet and closed the door.

I couldn't respond to his question, I have no idea why. So instead I asked him a question. "Why are your clothes ripped up?" Just trying to keep it casual I quess you can't really...

Ace went over to his bed and grabbed the clothes and threw them in the right corner of the room where a laundry basket was. I was able to see his hands they were cut up and bloody.

"Your boyfriend." That is what he answered with. Now he was looking at me I guess waiting for a response. At this time everything felt awkward. Being in a room alone with a strange man. Who was looking at me with his violet eyes.

"What do you mean by my boyfriend?" I am going to get an answer out of him this time.

"He kept trying to attack me instead of letting me explain. Seriously Tony needs to stop being so quick to conclusions." Still looking at me. Gosh..

"Keep going."

"Fine, one thing lead to another and so punches where swung and so yea that's it." He finally stopped looking at me and looked at the ceiling and put his hand over his eyes then moved his fingers to the bridge of his nose and squeezed it a bit. I knew there was more to it then just a couple of puches. He didn't explain about Tony turning into that dog. "Can we not talk about this right now?"

"Fine...' The word we lingered in my head for a while.

"Alright then lets go and get something to eat." He started his way out the door and looked back at me, just before he was out the door and grinned a bit. I started after him and closed the door on my way out. We were heading out back to the entrance and didn't even say a single word till we got there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We were right in the entrance standing in front of the same brown doors from earlier when Ace stops and reaches for the door handle. He seems to be hesitating because his hand was starting to shake a bit.

I took a breath and spoke to break the silence. "Once when I am able to eat I would like to see Tony and then leave."

"It won't work like that. You can't-" I interrupt him in mid sentence.

"What do you mean it won't work like that? I have to just stay here and act like what ever I saw didn't happen. That I have to watch people turn into dogs and just think of it as no big deal?" I was starting to raise my voice more and more."I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THAT!" I am now facing Ace instead of the door. Making sure I gave him a stern look and had my hands crossed over my chest.
