Into the Woods

Chapter 7: Pain

Taylor's POV

I'm just sitting here staring blankly into the air ahead.

No you girls are probably wonder what's going on.

"Yeah! What do you think!", Rena says shouting at the guy sitting at the "royal" looking desk.

"You have every right to be angry", he says calmly.

I slump down in the chair and cross my arms (this chair is actually really comfortable) I think to my self.

"Now, what I need from you girls is to keep your ears and eyes open and your mouths shut. Can you girls do that?", He says staring at us both.

I glance over at Rena and we exchange looks. After being really close friends for years you kinda learn to speak with lye eyes and with using words and thank god for that because in time like this it really comes in handy.

"Ok then", I say while death staring the security guards.

"Ok good. So I have a problem and I need you girls to help me solve it.", He says blankly.

"Help you with what? Murder?", I say while conjuring up a fake laugh because I'm hoping in wrong.

"In a way yes something that has to do with murder.", He says looking grim.

"You can't make us do anything! We refuse", Rena shouts.

"Rena! Shut up!", I say trying to whisper.

"Now girls, before I go on you have to promise to agree with everything that I ask you to do", he says with raised eyebrows.

"And what will happen if we break our promise?", I say insisting an answer.

"Then you will be tortured until you agree or you will just have to die!", He says with a smile.

"You can't make..", Rena starts to say and before I cut her off.

"What happens when we have finished what you want us to do", I say.

"You can go back to your every Day life's and I will pay you both a large sum of money before you we take you home. But here's the thing if you tell anyone when you go back home or try to escape while you working for me you, we'll lets just say that I have a long list of loved ones that I'm just dying to visit. So do we have a deal?", he says while at the same time asking.

He walks around his desk and stands in front of us. He holds out one of his hands to me.

"So do we have a deal?", He says while shaking my hand.

I say no words, he lets go of my hand and holds it in front of Rena.

"The same applies", he says still holding his unshaken hand in front of her.

"Just shake it!", I shout at Rena.

"This is your choice and your time is running out. You either shake my hand and agree with me, just like your friend did or you know what will happen. I'm a man of my word, but I need to know you'll keep yours", he says looking the most sincere that he has looked since we meet him.

I shake my head and he pulls away his hand. He gestures over the two body guards, they come and grab me by the arms. As they pull me up out off my seat I fill someone grab my hand.

"Please. All you had to do was shake his hand.", it was Taylor. She holds on tighter to my hand, but she has to let go and she does. The body guards walk me out of the room and all I can hear is Taylor's voice begging the "fancy/rich guy" to bring me back.
