Be With Me | Mr. Mysterious

Chapter 1 - The Get-together Party

Amane's POV:

I was content having lived my life leisurely. "Calvin? Won't we get to see everyone again?" I asked my elder brother with tears in my eyes. "Don't worry, Sis! They'll come to get us soon." He held me against him stroking my hair slowly.

Life is a blessing from the Almighty. I've been blessed in my life since the day I was born. I had everything one could ask for.

Parents? Yes. Health? Yes. Friends? Yes. Siblings? Yes. Money? Yes. Fame? Yes. Fun? Yes. Car? Yes. I mean not my own but for the family.

What else to say? The list could go on...

But all good things has some bad in it too. Here I was sitting captive with my elder brother. We were captured by the people who take children and sell them which is basically human trafficking.

"Yeah!! We're here to get you! Step out now." One of the boss's subordinate opened in.

I controlled back my tears. I should be strong! I held tightly on to my brother's shirt.

"Alright guys! Let's start". Tomorrow is the day me and my best friend go back to our hometown. I've successfully completed my middle school and applied to high school in my home town. Due to some reason, we weren't allowed to live there before.

Today, we all planned to have a get-together before we leave.

We were currently playing a game where I was blindfolded and had to catch hold of anyone. As I moved a step forward, I heard some noises around me. God! They keep making these noises unnecessarily to distract me. I moved towards the source of one sound and- "Oww!!! My nose".

All of them burst out laughing. Immediately I turned around to get hold of someone and they all became shut.

That was so mean. They made me go towards the source of the noise just to hit my nose with the badminton racket.

I kept rubbing my nose as I continued walking. "Okay, I won't give up" I told to myself.

I kept on moving around slowly. The room was so quiet and peaceful. It feels like I'm alone here. So peaceful. I started to smile.

"Aha! What are you thinking of, Amane?" Tyler asked.

"Anyways not about you. So don't worry." I stuck my tongue out at him like a small kid.

I could hear Tyler chuckling. But as soon as I turn a bit, all become shut. This is not going to be easy. I thought.

We went on like this for sometime when-"No! Amane, don't move forward. Turn around! Turn!!" All started screaming at my direction.

With sounds coming from all direction, I could hardly guess where they were.

Silly! As if they'll think I'll fall for the same trick twice. They're just planning to hit me or something again.

Without listening to them, with more force I stepped forward and I hit myself falling flat on my face. "Ouch!" I stay laying on the floor.

They all rush to me and removed my blindfold. "OMG! Amane, your forehead is bleeding!". Oh, this is Sam. I could hardly recognize anyone's voice. My vision was blurry.
