My Airport Mistake

Run VI

She kicked and punched and flailed about trying to get loose, but the hands were strong and steady. Once the car started to move, they finally let her go. She gasped for air and looked around her. Two men sitting on her left. A driver and a passenger on the phone on her right, behind a metal wall. All she heard was a "yes sir" and the rest was muffled out when the car accelerated. It appeared she was in a van without windows, or the windows were blocked. It was really dark and empty. Only the small window between this back side and the front side showed any light. Only the bench, seat belts, and the floor were seen. No newspaper or magazine or anything. It was a boring car. She sat up on the bench and put on a seat belt and looked at the two guys blocking the only entrance and exit door.

"So, where am I being taken now? Can't you smell me? I stink as heck!" She asked after about ten minutes of silence.

Silence... They didn't even look at her. She turned to the guys up front and asked the same question. Silence. Not a soul can be heard breathing but her's. She kept to the front so she could see where they were headed and to get fresher air from her stinky aroma.

'Exit 116... What road are we on?'

"What highway are we on? I don't recognize this exit number." She got up and said to the driver. He glanced back at her through the dash mirror before the passenger closed the only window of fresh air and light she had. 'Hmph! My only window of life!'

May sat back down in the darkness. After what felt like hours, she had fallen asleep, the van came to a stop. She woke up from the jerk of the vehicle stopping. She groggily yawned and stretched out her stiffness. The two men from the front got out. She could hear one of them talking to someone but she couldn't make anything out. The door opened widely and the sudden burst of sunlight made her go blind. She covered her eyes quickly and slowly adjusted to the sunlight. The men were patient enough to allow her time to adjust. Once she was ready, she got out of the van without their help. She looked around and was amazed at what she saw.

There was a beautiful water fountain in the center. The water was a very clear light blue. The statue started out as four dogs extending their bodies, three dogs with only half their body, two dogs of their heads only, and finally a tail at the top... Totally wasn't expecting that. A huge modern style mansion was behind her. Definitely only rich people can live here. There were two flights of about ten steps each to the front door. Vast greenery could be seen around the area. To the far right looked like some kind of garden. One could see flowers leading the way in. Statues of animals were everywhere, ranging from reptiles to mammals. Birds of all kinds were placed in the higher areas. 'This family must like animals,' she thought to herself.

The men led May up the stairs into the building. A row of ten or so maids were on the left, same as the butlers on the right. Another set of stairs in the middle. It really was a rich person's house where the first floor was like a ballroom and the upstairs were where all the rooms are. The maids and butlers greeted her, "Welcome home, Miss May."

She stopped and asked in confusion, "Home? I don't live here and don't call me 'Miss'."

"You're the young master's wife. This is your home," said a butler nearby who was not part of the row of maids and butlers. It appears he was the top butler here. "My name is Aaron. Follow me, miss."

May repeated herself, "Don't call me miss, and I don't live here nor am I married. I think you may have mistaken me for someone else, Aaron sir." She did not move forward but backwards instead. One of the guards blocked her way out and pushed her forward.

"I don't live here," she said annoyed after she steadied herself and turned to the entrance. 'I think I know who lives here. I think I know what is going on. I am getting into a forced marriage by the boss because I denied his thanks and ran away again. WHY!? This isn't an anime or manga or a webnovel of some sort!' May angrily thought to herself.
