KILLER CHASE : The Search

31

Well at the end I understood their point and forgave them afterwards.

They were just looking out for me after all. So why would I do something reckless and hurt them for it?

Looks like my new life here is by far one of the worst things that I've ever experienced.

But brooding over it won't do me any good.. So I might as well accept it and just give up on having a normal life.

Not like I planned on having one in the first place.

We talked for awhile and I asked on what I was missing out but before they chatted with me Arthur and Markle Gave me something to eat since I was pretty hungry if I do say so myself and I finished at least 15 bowls of porridge. Yeah I was hungry really hungry.

After awhile of chatting it started getting dark and Markle and Angelo  decided to take Wolfie and Blackie to their rooms so I could sleep without worry.

" Anyway Kid... We'll take our leave. This is your room by the way. And your stuff will be sent here tomorrow... Have a goodnight sleep.. You're gonna need it... " Angelo left closing the doors and once I positioned myself to sleep... Something came crawling out of the corner.

I squinted my eyes to have a better look at what it is and to my surprise it was the same faceless man who almost ripped me in half.

" Sorry for biting your tentacle? " I asked unsure of what I should say instead he gave a weird monster like noise which almost represented a chuckle.

" It seems like you're healing a lot ... We need more people like you here. My children may be street smart but some are not properly educated in the same level of fighting techniques as you. You managed to survive after everything and I'm proud of you child" He brought his long slender hand on my head and I felt how cold and rough his hand was but he had a fatherly vibe when he's not trying to rip me apart.

" Welcome to the 'Family' Child " He turned to leave and he disappeared faster than I could say ' shit '.

I woke up by Markle's finger poking on my cheek and I groaned biting his finger making him scream in pain. He complained for awhile and said how mean I was even after he arranged everything in order and what he meant by that was my clothes in the drawer and a few stuff I owned back at my old apartment .

" Get dressed you are expected to come down for breakfast by slenderman "  Markle stated and he left the room.

I stood up to stretch and I was surprised that my body didn't hurt like yesterday. I took off my bandages and although there are tiny scars but everything is all healed up.. Huh... Having shape shifter blood ain't that bad.

I scanned the room and there was a bathroom here.. Goody!.

And this room is spacious so It's kinda like my apartment before.

I took a quick shower and dried my hair , after that I decided to wear a turtle neck top and my casual Garfield pajamas.

It's not like I'm going anywhere.

I wore my bunny slippers and stepped out of my room and I was gawking at how big this place really was. I could see long halls accompanied by doors distance after distance .

The halls were carpeted and had a homey wallpaper and occasional vases and paintings here and there and the lights were really neat.

I could live with this but just in case I get lost I tied a rubber band on my door knob before exploring.

And by that I meant getting lost because of my stupidity.

Very wrong....

I was lost for approximately 10 minutes before I stumbled on somebody... And that somebody had to be Jack.

We stared at each other for a moment and he didn't move a muscle. I'm not a very prideful person during these times so I just went to hell with my hatred and sucked it up.

" Where's the dining room? "

" Are you looking for the dining room? "

We both exchanged our own questions and he seems to get my point and walked ahead of me.

I followed behind but kept my distance and after awhile of suppressing my anger it actually slapped me right back but it's not anger anymore.

It's just pain.

I was still hurt by the fact that Jack was only getting close to me because he was ordered to... And he didn't like me the same way and I just kissed him... I looked like a fool.

And I'm angry at him for making me look like one. He gave so many signals and it's not my fault why I misinterpreted his  words.

" I'm sorry " He unexpectedly blurted out and I didn't say anything and just kept following him.

But he stopped dead on his tracks to look at me and I didn't meet his gaze and dragged my eyes to look anywhere but him.

He suddenly took one step closer to me and I unconsciously took one step back.

" Look, if you're not going to show me where it is , then I'm going to ask for someone else to show me" I grumbled and he grabbed hold of my chin forcing me to face him.

" I don't say sorry just to anyone like that" He stated making me roll my eyes.

" Ok then did I ask? Did I tell you to? Do you think I care? The answer to those 3 questions is of course NOT" I slapped his hand away but it made my breathing pause when I felt his hand wrap around my waist from behind and his head buried behind my neck.

I felt his brown locks gently caressing my cheek and I could hear his steady breathing , his hold getting tighter and it made me gulp.

Why is he doing this to me? What the fuck did I ever do to him!?.

" I'm sorry " He repeated over and over again and his hold around me only getting tighter.

" Let go of me.. And is your name really Jack? ... I won't be surprised if you lied to me about that either and stop giving me false hope because... Well... Before you had all the chances but now. I don't even want to look at you " It took me awhile to do so but I finally tore away from his grip leaving him there and it made my heart ache but soon anger consumed all the pain I felt.

Anger... It's the only thing I could do to lessen the pain.
