Lesley's POV:
I was taken to a room by a silver haired guy who was named Ling. He looked over at me and smiled kindly and i don't know why it felt was though he wasn't a bad person at all. Like not at all because as far as I know, kidnappers and all aren't supposed to be polite but he certainly was.
I think I was shivering because he then went over to a closet and got a very huge muffler and placed it on my hands.
'Don't worry. Just sit and try to relax. King will be in here shortly.' He said and also handed me a glass of water.
The room was very huge (almost like a separate hall) and was parted into two but with a glass door so that the two part could clearly see each other. Each had a separate door which i don't know where it led to but the first looked like a bedroom and the second looked like an office. There were sofas and tables and swinging chairs in various locations but the room was so neat that i was scared it might disassemble the pattern if i sat on the sofa. But I eventually did. There were many books in the shelves of the study and I could see it from there.
'Oh, also, My name is Ling. You are Lesley aren't you. It's nice to meet you. I have to get going for now but I'm sure I'll see you later.' With that he left me there and for a while I panicked.
'Hi, Lunch?' Came another voice and i saw another guy through the door from where i'd come from and he had a tray of fruits and waffles.
'Sorry, i know it's more like a breakfast than a lunch but I thought that's what ladies liked.' He said and brought in food.
His voice was so deep that it scared me but I obviously kept calm and let him talk.
'Why was I separated from there? Is he going to kill me?' I ask, looking for an answer.
'Unless you were involved with Balmond, I don't see why he would kill you. The King isn't half as bad as you think he is. There's a reason why this is happening. And I don't understand why he favored you almost immediately but we'll find out soon enough.'
'Yeah well if he isn't as bad as you say, why is he doing all of this?' I ask, picturing the cold blooded guy.
'His parents were murdered by the guy who you saw getting slaughtered. He took the King's home and the King lost his sanity for a while. The reason why he's so cold is because he couldn't do anything when they were killed but watch them die. So it isn't really easy. He too has had a traumatic past which is why he is cold hearted. To be fair he's lightened up more than he used to be. The first time he came here and was introduced to us, we were shit scared of him. But he's softened up a lot right now.' He said and smiled back.
WHY IS EVERYONE HERE SO GOOD AND HAVEN'T ACTED LIKE KIDNAPPERS AT ALL? WHO ARE THEY?
'You should definitely eat these. Chocolate waffles. Love it honestly!' He said.
I don't want to try them on because they must be poisoned or drugged. I wouldn't bother eating if it will kill me.
'There's a band-aid with me. Here, give me your hand.' There was a cut in my finger and he wanted to put a band-aid on it but it freaked me out.
'DON'T TOUCH ME!' I screamed, having imagined all sorts of stupid things as what they would do once i get drugged.
'O...kay,' He said weirdly, and got up.
'Still, eat. I don't want you getting sick or dying of hunger.' He said and then in comes the King.
We end up having random discussions and one thing he made clear was that he wanted me to join his cult or whatever he was running.
