Chapter 5 STRANGE

It's been two hours since she had been locked in a place she didn't understand. She was getting hungry. She sat on the bed staring into nothing and hoping that James wouldn't worry too much about her.

Creek!! The door opened slowly and Hazel sat up, she thought it was the man from before but it was someone else, he was also very handsome with short brown hair and black eyes.

" Hi, I brought you food", he said and dropped the tray of food, hazel glanced at the meal and then back at him.

"Who are you, and where am I" she asked.

Oh mind my manners, my name is Scott he said smiling

" Why Am i here? I want to leave".

"The master brought you here so you have to ask him yourself."

" How tall is this building," she asked.

"It's a five story building, and you are on the fourth floor", he added just in case she tries something funny.

"I want to see your master," Hazel said.

"He is not here yet, in the meantime you should eat, I will send some maids to bring you some dresses."

" Maids?" she asked shocked, just where the hell am I she thought, was she in some sort of fancy billionaire mansion with maids and servants, that breathtaking guy looked like a very wealthy man, judging from his dressing and clear skin.

As if reading her thoughts Scott answered.

"You are in V territory," he said.

"Just call my name if u need anything, or scream, seems like you are very good at that" he said and left.

Hazel glared at his retreating back, if they heard her then why did no one come to her aid, she tried to think if she had ever heard of a V territory but it didn't ring a bell, hazel felt her head spinning. She opened the food which revealed some porridge, as much as she didn't want to eat her stomach growled, and the aroma of the food was intoxicating. Taking the risk, she took one spoon of porridge and her eyes widened, she had never tasted something so delicious. Like though she had been starved for days, she finished the porridge within a few minutes, she felt her strength coming back and she got down from the bed, there was a smaller room that she failed to notice before.

" Oh the bathroom", she muttered as she opened it, just as she was about to take off her clothes the door opened and she shrieked. She wondered how they opened the door so freely when it refused to budge, three maids entered and approached her.

"Good day miss your dress is here", one of the maids said and dropped the clothes on the bed, hazel noticed their pale skin, where they all from one generation,even that Scott guy and the breathtaking man all had pale skin.

"Would you like us to bathe you?" the second one asked.

Bath her? What was she? five years old, hazel thought.

"No, thank you, where is your master?" Hazel asked.

" Lord haze is not around at the moment" the third one said, as though they were taking turns in talking.

Lord haze, was he the breathtaking guy hazel thought when she noticed the girls were still standing and taking side peeks at her.

"I can bathe myself," Hazel said. She watched as they took the tray of food and left. Immediately they left. She rushed to open the door but it was locked again. How was it locking itself? She asked, confused. She glanced at the clothes. It was a pair of pink crop tops. with a matching pink skirt, lacey underwear and a pink bra.

Hazel scoffed at the dressing, she was never a fan of crop tops and skirts and most of all she hated the color pink especially if she was wearing to match, she took only the bra and underwear and walked into the bathroom. The bathroom was big and spacious with a bathtub in it, hazel didn't understand her role here, if she was kidnapped why where they giving her such a big room and taking care of her?, or do they just want her to look healthy before they did whatever they wanted to do with her, she had better not let her guard down. but still she wondered what it would be like to bathe in a bathtub the orphanage never had any of it. She turned on the first shower and it was so cold, and she turned on the second one which was warmer. She took off her clothes and soaked herself in the bathtub.

Hazel liked the smell of the soap she used, the bathroom had everything. She walked out of the bathroom and screamed when she saw a red haired lady in the room, why does everyone come and go as they please?, but then again she was the victim here. The woman black eyes stared at her as she chewed her gum noisily, hands folded under her breast. She was putting on a pink tank top with a v-neck cut which showed most of her cleavage but she didn't care, she matched it with a red mini skirt. Hazel immediately didn't like her, her clothes were too revealing and too colorful, she felt like she would go blind.

"Can you feel it?" , she had a familiar voice from behind the red haired woman, it was the breathtaking guy, or the Lord haze as they called him.

"Hi, I am Tasha," the lady said and stretched out her hand for a handshake which Hazel refused to shake as she walked towards the bed and sat down.

"Why am I here?" Hazel asked, she really wanted to know, but like though she wasn't there Tasha and Haze started a discussion.

"I can feel it, it's strong", Tasha said.

"Really strong", haze added his hands folded together on his chest.

"I just can't understand how all those powers could be stored in a human."

And simultaneously they both said.

"Weak!"

"What are the two of you talking about? I want to know why I am here," she asked again.

"So how can we draw the power out of her,?" Haze said and Tasha chuckled.

" Draw the power out?, didn't you read the prophecy?" Tasha asked in return and she felt the atmosphere getting dangerous. Haze blue eyes turned black at the mention of the prophecy but it changed back immediately, ignoring the warning signs, Tasha continued.

"You can't avoid the prophecy forever, it's right in front of you."

"Hey answer me", Hazel yelled and she stood up from the bed, but they just ignored her.

"I don't believe in the prophecy," he said.

"Then you must be blind" Tasha replied, annoyed that the two of them completely ignored her hazel, took the jug and forcefully threw it on the ground, the jug didn't break, but the noise got their attention.

"What?" Tasha asked, irritated by her behavior.

"Why am I here?" Hazel asked.

" What's your name?" Tasha asked in return.

" I am doing the questioning here", Hazel said.

"Tch, feisty," Tasha chuckled.

"You are here because you have something that is mine, hazel". Haze said and surprised was written all over her face.

"How do you know my name?, and what do you mean by 'I have something of yours?" Hazel asked, confused and shocked written all over her face.

"Wait, her name is hazel? wow so similar to yours, the moon goddess really knows how to do her job" Tasha said as earned a death glare from haze.

"Explain" hazel said to haze.

"I owe nobody an explanation, and I definitely don't take others from a mere human," he said.

"Mere human", hazel scoffed, "then what are you, a scientific production" hazel retorted which made Tash giggle. In a twinkle of an eye haze stood right in front of Hazel, Hazel didn't have the time to process how he did that because next she felt a hand choking her.

"You would treat me with respect, because I can snap you into two if I want," he said as his eyes turned red and he released her, hazel scurried away from him as she tried to fill her lungs with air.

" What did she just see?", she thought, his eyes went from blue to red, she had seen those red eyes somewhere that she can never forget, the door opened and Scott came in with a file which he handed to haze.

"You are an orphan," he read from the file, "you are eighteen, you have three part time jobs, no siblings, no relatives, I guess no one would care if you are gone."

"You are going to stay here until I find a way to get what I want from you. In the meantime Scott will attend to you," haze said with a straight voice and was about to leave when he heard a low chuckle.

"I don't take orders from you haze," hazel said and the aura around him became dangerous.

" You don't get to call me by my name and...."

"I get to call you whatever I want to call you" Hazel cut him off.

Hazel's eyes turned red and he rushed to her, but before he could do anything Scott blocked him.

"We need her," Scott said, and haze calmed down a bit, his eyes returned to their normal color, all this happened within a mile second and hazel wondered if they were flash.
