I'm locked inside a kind of office. Zack is in front of me, smiling. I'm strapped to a chair and I only can move my feet. After a moment, he comes to me and asks :
-Everything's good ? You're having fun losing consciousness every once in a while ?
-What ? What are we doing here ? And why am I tied ?
-To keep you safe from everything of course ! I don't want you to get hurt again. Never ever again. And what's better than to keep you attached to this chair and keep you in this room?
I don't understand what is happening. We went from the hospital parking lot to a weird office where I'm tied up to a chair?
-When did we arrive here ?
-We're here for a while now. Do you like your new home ? You're going to live here with me starting today !
-But I don't...
He puts his hand on my mouth.
-Oh no no no sweetie... No protest. I know better than you what's best for us, don't worry about anything!
He bursts out laughing. He is scary. Is it really the person I'm in love with ? Or did he lie to me this all time about his true self ?
-What's wrong my angel ? You're making such a weird face... Do you need anything ?
-Yes, I mumble between his fingers.
-And what do you need, he asks with a big smile.
He puts his hand away and I'm free to talk again :
-Can you untie me please ?
His smile disappears instantly. His eyes shine angrily and I see clearly that he gives his all to restrain himself to kill me.
-And why so my sweet angel ? Are you uncomfortable here ? You want to leave me already ? But you won't, right ? Cause you love me, right ?
-Yes, I reply in a trembling voice. Yes of course I love you... That's why I want you to untie me ! I want to show you my love with a hug !
My lie doesn't hold water and I wait fearfully for a beating.
But nothing comes. Zack's expression soften and he unties me quickly while saying :
-You should've said so sooner my angel !
He keeps the rope around my wirst in his hand and pull me closer to him like a dog on a leash. I put my arms around him, shaking.
-Well ? What's wrong ? Why are you trembling like crazy ? Are you sick or something ?
-No...
I start to cry. I don't control my body anymore. I don't have any energy left.
-I'm gonna tie you back.
A bitter-sweet scent floats in the air. I feel like I know it. I fall asleep.
Meanwhile, Zack's POV :
From the moment we got in the car, Ray has a blank expression.
-Are you alright Ray ?
-What ? What are we doing here ? And why am I tied ?
-I asked you if you were alright. And you have a belt to not go through the windshield if Franck brakes a bit too hard.
-When did we arrive here ?
-We're here for a while now. We're gonna have a new home. Another of your friend will take us in for a while.
-But I don't...
She lets out a cry and I'm forced to put my hand on her mouth to make her quiet.
-No no no, no screaming Ray ok ? Stay calm.
She stops screaming and I remove my hand. She makes a terrified face now.
-What's wrong ? Do you need anything ?
-Yes...
-Tell me.
-Can you untie me please ?
I shoot a glare at Franck. He shakes his head. I reply :
-It's for your safety Ray. I can't do that.
The car finally stops. Franck declares : :
-We're here.
-That's why I want you to untie me ! I want to show you my love with a hug !
-It's fine Ray, no need to lie to me, I'll remove the belt.
I take her in my arms. She's trembling.
-Why are you trembling like crazy ? Are you sick or something ?
-No...
She starts to cry. Franck makes me enter a building. Ray suddenly calms down and falls asleep. A strange scent floats in the air. It's oddly familiar.
