Haunted

Chapter 3

I tried to scream but someone, or should I say something? Anyway, it had its hand covering my mouth with a tight grip. Someone suddenly whispered in my ear, although it wasn't Eric's voice. The voice was familiar but I couldn't quite figure out who's voice it was.

"I'm here to help. Do you see that door over there? I'll count to three, at three you'll run as fast as you can towards it, got it?" I nodded my head carefully with tears in my eyes. I could feel something grabbing my foot. The guy's hands were on my mouth and waist. I couldn't see what he did, but the guy did something to release my foot. He grabbed my hand and shouted "THREE!" I ran as fast as I could to get to that door, and so I did.

When I got out the door, the guy shut the door behind me instantly. I turned around and saw that it was the guy from the other day. He looked so handsome when he was stressed. There was a bike behind us, and he told me to sit on it and hold tight. I didn't know that it would go that fast and it kind of freaked me out, but he already saved my life, so I didn't want to be all needy and ask for him to drive slower and more carefully.

We soon reached a cabin and walked in. It wasn't that huge or anything but it was very nice. I sat on a couch while he was locking the door, who had like eight locks. I was the one breaking the silence. "What's your name? I mean, I need to know who to thank." He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.

"It's none of your damn business." He said sassily. I got super mad when he said that, I mean how is it none of my business? "Well, since you just broke into my house TWICE and dragged me to this..PLACE, I think it might be the slightest bit of my business."

"Fine, if it's that important to you. My name is Derek, happy now?" He said.
"Happier than ever!" I replied. After that it remained silent for a while. I was really hungry, but remained silent. He seemed nicer the first time we met. His unnaturally perfect brows were pulled together, like he was concentrating on something. His lips were moving but I couldn't hear anything. It made me really curious.

The door opened and a guy with dirty blond hair and blue eyes walked in. He was wearing a black leather jacket and some black sneakers. They looked very similar, like brothers but still very different. Their faces were pretty similar and so were their size and skin tone. It was just the eye color, hair style, hair type and hair color that was really different. They were both pretty muscular and good looking.

"Jason, that is the girl Claudius wanted us to bring." Derek said while looking at me. Apparently the guy's name was Jason. He scanned me with his eyes but it was hard to tell what he was thinking. I just read a book pretending to ignore them but I was trying my best to hear anything from the conversation.

"She doesn't look too bad, I mean she looks a bit tired and annoyed but that is exactly how you look every day." Jason whispered teasingly. I rolled my eyes at him even though no one saw. "We just need to drop her off safely and then we never need to see that messed up face of hers." Derek responded with a look of annoyance.

"Huh, it is weird how much you believe I'm deaf." I said, because I was done just listening. They both looked at me with the exact same expression on their faces. "I believe we haven't met. My name is Jason." He said, probably hoping I didn't hear anything. "I'm sorry, is my messed up face distracting you?" I said sarcastically. Jason's cheeks were pure red. He really is a blusher. Derek looked at Jason with a 'this is all on you, man' look.

"Um, I-I..." He said before I interrupted him. "Save it, since this 'Claudius' dude seems more interesting." They both looked pretty shocked. "Who is he by the way?" I added.
"Derek, didn't you tell her?" Jason asked. "Well, I didn't have that much time since I was saving her life, which I didn't have to do by the way." Derek said.

Let's just say Jason was one of those class clowns just twenty years old, just like me and Derek. Derek was one of those serious types who easily got mad. "Yes, you had or the council would cut your head off for letting Claudius' daughter die." Jason said teasingly. "What do you mean?! I said shocked. "My father died years ago!"
