Chapter 14.

I woke up to the sound of a door shutting. I open my eyes to look around, but it's pitch black. I then remember I'm in Harry's guest bedroom. I throw the covers off of me, and head to the door. I open the bedroom door, light instantly blinding my eyes causing me to squeeze them shut. I open my eyes allowing them to adjust, smelling the scent of fresh coffee. I look to see Harry down in the kitchen. Humming some tune to himself as he pours himself a cup.

I head to the bathroom quickly, hoping Harry doesn't notice I'm awake yet. I open the door and quietly shut it. I turn on the light and head to the toilet to use it. Still half asleep I notice that something has changed with the bathroom. My clothes from earlier appear to be washed and folded sitting on the counter. Everything that was in my bathroom from the other apartment was neatly placed on the counter.

I assume Harry must have done this while I was asleep. Although it was a small, kind gesture. I found it kind of sweet of him, but I don't understand why he's being so kind. When I first met him he was so rude and cruel, I don't understand what's changed.

I decide to go ahead and wash my hair real quick. Although I already had a shower before I fell asleep. My hair looks awful and it needs a good wash.

I hurry and start the hot water grabbing the shampoo and conditioner and body soap and razor from the counter. I get in and instantly wet my hair trying to hurry. I know Harry probably knows I'm awake now, and I don't want to make him mad by taking forever.

I sat there washing my hair, body, and start to shave. Running thoughts through my head. First off what time it is? I know I slept for more then a couple of hours. Second off why in the world is he taking me shopping? Don't get me wrong it's a very positive thing, but logically I could easily escape or make a scene and hopefully draw attention and get help. And lastly why is he letting me live here? Won't it be weird me constantly being here? Why is he acting like he cares about me? Is there a reason why he's acting like this? Am I missing something?

I realized I was losing track of time when a light knock at the  door brought me back to reality.

"Arya you need to hurry! I don't want this to be a all day thing!" He yelled through the bathroom door.

"Ok I'm hurrying!" I yell back, and hurry and rinse the soap off my body.

I turn the water off and ring my hair out. I hurry and towel dry my hair and wrap it up in a towel. I wipe my body dry with the other towel, and step out of the shower. I hurry and scan my appearance in the mirror.

I look awful without makeup. I mean I guess I don't look horrible, but my eyelashes are barley noticeable without mascara. And with the towel wrapped around my head I look worse, like I'm a bald man. I notice the bags under my eyes are slightly gone and I seem to look more refreshed. So I guess that's the only positive thing.

I hurry and grab the fresh pair of panties and bra, and put them on quickly, blushing at the thought of Harry seeing them.

I throw on the same outfit I had been wearing for the past couple of days that I had been here. I brush my teeth, then take my hair down and brush through it quickly, I decide I would let it air dry, even though it's cold outside and I could possibly get sick.

Outside... I totally forgot about the outside world. I mean like I didn't actually forget it, but I just haven't been outside in what felt like weeks. I miss the feeling of the cold winter air on my face turning my cheeks and nose a rosy red. I think I have been here for maybe a couple of days but it felt so much longer.

I looked at myself one last time before opening the bathroom door. I walked out not seeing Harry anywhere. I quickly rush to my bedroom and turn on the light. I was startled to see Harry sitting like a creep on my bed. I jumped back and gasped at the sight of him, holding my hand on my chest.

"Gosh you freakin scared me!" I yell at Harry.

"Oh sorry" he said in a monotone voice.

I noticed what he was wearing it was a plain black sweater, he had on a black pair of jeans and his black boots with his dog tag hanging down his chest. He looked hot, but my main purpose is to trick him into letting me go. Not think about how attractive he is.

I spot my shoes and hurry and grab them, finding a clean pair of socks and start to put them on.

"So before we leave I need to explain some things to you." He said, still sitting on my bed.

"Ok" I say, slipping my right shoe on.

"First off I want you to know that there's a possibility that we could be relocated. As in we will have to leave. I can't give you details of why. Just that it's not completely safe here, our enemies know that you're here and want you. And they want my boss dead as well. They broke through our gates, but we were able to fight them off. We can't risk them getting to my boss or you. So just prepare, incase we need to relocate to another facility upstate." He said, with a serious expression on his face.

"Wait why do people want me? I thought you guys where the ones that wanted me, because my dad owes your boss money." I said looking at him trying to figure out what's going on. None of this made sense to me.

"It's more complicated then that Arya! I just need you to trust me and listen to me! I know we kidnapped you, but at this point your safer here with us, than anywhere else!" He said, his voice becoming more deeper and aggressive with each question I ask.

"What about my dad? Have you talked to him? Does he have the money? Can I please talk to him?" I squeaked out, my voice becoming weak due to the fact that I'm not sure if I will ever see my dad again. I thought he would pay the money back and I would be safe in the comfort my own house. But I guess he hasn't payed the money back yet. Because if he did I would be home now. Right?

"Arya I'm done talking to you about your dad ok! Right now we need to be careful, but I'm willing to be a decent fucking human and take you shopping for some damn clothes! The least you could do is be great full and shut your damn mouth and stop asking questions!" He yells at me, causing my skin to break out in chills.

I hate when he yells at me it makes me so scared and uncomfortable. But I need to get on his good side if I want to escape. I nod my head allowing him to know that I understand him.

"Listen as far as living in this apartment. I expect you to clean up and take care of things, without being asked. That is until we get relocated and then the rules might change. Don't go wondering around in my bedroom or anywhere you don't belong. And for God sakes listen to me when I tell you something. Or I will punish you, I'm not a mean person Arya, but I wouldn't get on my bad side if I was you. Do you understand me?" He growled each word, causing my chills to worsen.

"Y-Yes I understand." I whisper, scared talking normal will some how make him angrier.

"Good! And when we go shopping you will not leave my side. If you dare try to escape I will punish you to the fullest extent! Do you understand me? I'm not playing around Arya!" His voice was low and he had a cold evil look in his eyes.

I nodded my head and fixed my left shoe, making sure the shoe lace wasn't going to come loose. He stood up and walked past me, he walked down the hall and down the stairs. Once he got to the front door he turned and looked for me. Seeing that I was trailing behind him at a slow pace. He looked at me with a smirk.

"Be excited Arya we're going shopping! Don't you love shopping?" He said in a completely sarcastic tone. Making me roll my eyes.

He scans the door and we walk out. As we make our way through the building I make a plan in my mind. I don't know how but I need to get away from him and get help when we get to where we're going. It might be my only chance to get away. Although it's risky and I could make him very angry, it's a chance I'm willing to take.
