Mr psychopath.

I heard him shut the door, and with every step he took towards me, my heart was in my mouth. I feared what he would do to me, I didn't know him, but seeing how he ruthlessly killed those men, I knew he was a psychopath and this psychopath, held me captive.

I tried to keep calm, but I heard my heart dancing to the sound of his steps. I refused to raise my head to look at him as he stood right in front of me, at that point, I could feel my soul leaving my body. He slowly raised my head to meet his gaze. To my surprise, he wasn't bad looking. He looked clean, fresh, but dangerous, calmly, though. His eyes looked gentle, not like that of a killer. If only I met him in a less deadly circumstance, I would have butterflies in my belly, but all I could feel was the sweat dripping through my entire body.

I refused to look into his eyes, but that was not the case for him, he kept staring at every feature of my body, his gaze was so strong it pierced my skin.

"What will I do with you"his deep but calm voice echoed through the room.

"p-p-p-lease, sir, l-let me go"I cried out. I would rather not die, especially not like this.

"but you saw what I did"He walked away from me.

I was really frightened, still I could feel that he was not a bad person.

"I promise I wasn't spying on you sir"I said amidst tears.

His gaze was still fixed on me, with no expression at all.

"Too bad, I can't let you go" I froze instantly

"Is this the end of me?" I thought to myself. "what will you do to me?" I mustered a little courage to ask but he ignored my question and kept staring.

I was getting impatient, my arms were already aching from being tied up

"what will you do to me then?"Answer me" I screamed out of frustration,his silence was eating me up, still he kept mute. I got extremely furious, but I knew better than to express it if I wanted to get out alive.

"okay, I'm sorry, just let me go, please"He didn't respond until a few seconds after, slowly he walked towards me, pulled an obsidian knife from his pocket. At that point, my whole life flashed before my eyes. He brought the knife close to me, I shut my eyes in despair waiting for my death, but he cut the rope used to tie my arms. I dropped to the floor, still confused about what happened.

"Am I dead?"I asked myself while touching my body

"stand up"My arms still ached terribly, but I would rather not upset him, so I stood up slowly. I stood straight with my face lowered to avoid his eyes. I didn't want him to change his mind

"I won't kill you...yet?"

Yet?

What did he mean by that? does that mean he's still going to kill me? I had several thoughts popping up in my head

"I have a task for you" He interrupted my thoughts

"Task?" I asked still avoiding his eyes.

"I need you to help me find someone"

"how?" I am completely confused

"I need you to get some information for me"

"And why will I do that"

"Cause your life depends on it" I swallowed hard

"Here"He gave me a bag that looked like a shopping bag. I didn't notice he had it with him the whole time

"what's this?"

"Your dress, shoes, and wig,You have to look good, to seduce him"he paused

"I'll come get you later, get prepared"He said and walked out on a confused me with so many questions running through my mind.

********

I jolted to the sound of the door opening. I knew he was here to take me to wherever he wanted, and I was ready, ready to run away from this man immediately I got a chance to,I had no one to save me from this monster, so I knew I needed to smart up and make good use of this opportunity that may never surface again.

I had to keep a smiling face not because I liked his presence, but because of the perfect plan I had in my head. He rummaged through my body, which I found quite uncomfortable and the he gown. It was too much of a hassle for me, I tried pulling it down to cross my knees, but of course, it kept shrinking back every single time. I never fancied short gowns because of the kind of family I grew up in. My parents were religious fanatics, they always warned me against indecent dressing, so I grew into not liking it. Everything about this fit vexed me. The heels were high, and they made my feet ache badly. And the wig, it kept landing on my face every second. I never dressed like this before, It felt weird that my thighs and cleavages were exposed, and the fact that I was actually wearing this to a public place made me cringe. What if I bump into someone who recognizes me? I muttered under my breath

"Are you ready to go?"He asked with a straight face. Not that I was expecting a compliment of some sort, but at least he should have returned the smile

"Can you at least tell me why I'm dressed up"I asked out of sheer curiosity

"There's a man I need to get information from, and you're going to help me get"

"how"He didn't respond,he just dipped his hands in his pocket, removing what seemed like a blindfold, and advanced towards me. I fearfully watched him walk behind me and felt him put the blindfold over my eyes and everything went pitch-black. I asked no questions as he took my hands in his, and led the way. I just followed him and did everything he asked

I heard something like a car door open, he guided me into the car and shut the door. I knew he entered the car too because I heard the car door close again. I felt the car move and I really wanted to see outside, but I was scared he'll get angry at me and maybe kill me, who knows. I was really trying my best not to upset him.

We stopped by at a store to get me glammed up. Then we continued our drive. After driving for what seemed like an eternity, the car stopped

"You can take the blindfold off"I immediately did so I can see where he has taken me too

We were parked in front of one of the portable looking buildings, then he turned to face me, and handed an air pod to me. I've always wanted to own one, but I never got to. Funny how I got the opportunity to use one in such a scary situation

"Now put this in your ear. He said. I didn't know why, but I did just as he said

"You'll only take instructions from me. Don't say a word until I tell you to, once you get there, look for Femi, try to have a conversation with him, and I'll do the rest,remember, don't try to do anything stupid"

He showed me a picture of the man I was meant to find, I nodded to everything he said, before I left him in the car and proceeded into the building.

The loud sound of the music hit my ear hard that I had to close it for few seconds. I've never been to this kind of party before, the parties I attended were religious or family themed parties, so everything seemed strange to me. The air reeked of smoke, alcohol and sweat, it was all stuffy and rowdy, I had to shrug past people to move, it was choking

I tried to walk through the crowd to find where I could sit and at least figure out how to find a man I've never seen in my life in a crowd like this. Thoughts of how to escape without him noticing occupied my mind also

Immediately, I heard his voice through the pod. "Can you hear me?"

"Yes"I said loudly, hoping he could hear me through the loud music

"Have you found the target?"

"Not yet, it's too rowdy in here. I don't even know how to find someone I've never met before amidst this crowd"

"Come on greenhorn, It's a party. Try to mingle, that way you'll find him. Keep in mind, your life is on the line"he tone switch from friendly to threatening

I took his advice and started walking through the dancing crowd. After a while, I gave up. My feet were failing me and the whole scene was just so unbearable for me. I saw an empty sit by the bar and I let myself rest, at least I needed to be fine to look for someone. Right beside me was a slim, tall man with a slight pot-belly. He was wearing a Tee-shirt on a loose jeans with shades. I wondered how he could possibly see in this dim room, I couldn't see him clearly to get his facial features, but he had a beard. He wore a broad smile which was meant to be soothing, instead, it was creepy. The mystery man took off his shades, and kept smiling weirdly. I looked intently just to realize it was him. The Femi guy I was searching for. I first let out a sigh of relief because I was glad I didn't have to search anymore. He didn't look that great, but it was none of my business

"Hey pretty, I don't think I've seen you around here before" Femi said to me

"Go on with the conversation, I'll chip in when necessary" Mr. psychopath whispered through the pod

"It's my first time here' I said, trying to sound confident

"I'm Femi"He stretched his hands for a handshake

"what's your name?" He asked

I was skeptical,Should I tell him my real nameOr just look for any name that comes to mind?

I waited to hear if he'll say something over the pod, but he was quiet

"My name is Vanessa" He leaned on me, and spoke into my ears

"Let's go somewhere better and talk"He smelled like alcohol itself. I was disgusted.

"I'm good here"I talked back into his ear

"Come on"He tried to grab my hand, but I flinched. I didn't want to go somewhere private with a man who didn't look normal but on a second thought, it could actually be easier to escape if I followed him. So I'll take the chance "We can't be shouting and talking to each other"He muttered

He tried to grab my hand again, and this time, I let him take my hand. It was a risky decision, but I was ready to take it, for my safety. I removed the air pod and left it on the counter without Femi noticing, I didn't want him to know anything was up. As I walked out hand in hand with Femi, I was happy his car was parked in the car park, far from where Mr. psychopath parked his. I got into Femi's car, which was as quiet as he said it would be. He sat on the seat opposite me and gave the warmest smile. He wasn't good-looking, but there was something in him that made me comfortable. Maybe because he was my ticket to escape from death. At least, I thought

"You're pretty Vanessa"I giggled at the sound of that

"So tell me about you,like where are you from.?What are your hobbies?Are you single?"he smiled.

I didn't feel right telling a stranger about myself, I was hesitant

"You go first"I diverted the attention to him

"Well, I'm Femi. I'm 29, I work at a tech company,"he paused"I just met a girl named Vanessa and I like Vanessa"he got closer and tried to touch my thighs

"and I'll like to take her home to warm my bed"That was so fast, men are really annoying creatures. I got irritated by his touch immediately,I didn't know what I was thinking when I followed a drunk man into his car. At that point, I started to look for a way out just before things got any worse, it was then I realized that I was trapped, all the windows were whined up and the door by my side was locked. I tried to push his hand off my body, but he got more persuasive and stronger, he leaned for a kiss which I avoided, but he didn't stop, I tried to struggle my way out, but he was stronger than he looked, I realized I was in big trouble, From fry pan to fire. I thought to myself. It's now a case of Had I known I wished I never took off the air pod, probably he'll save me from this beast. He adjusted himself on his seat to hold me firmly, hot tears rolled down my face. I endeavored to scream for help, but to no avail. He kept hitting and dragging me to lie down, but I kept fighting with everything in me. I knew I couldn't over power him, I kept my eyes shut, waiting for the worst.

He forcefully parted my legs, I tried to close them, but he hit me and parted them again, he made to unhook his belt and I cried louder hearing his zip go down. I attempted to hit him, but he took my both hands and held them firmly pinned to the window. I pleaded, but he played deaf. Suddenly, his grip loosened, I felt something splash on my face as Femi immediately collapsed on my body, I opened my eyes slowly to see what was happening. I screamed at the sight of his blood gushing from the back of his head. I looked outside the car through the window, though I couldn't see clearly, but I knew it was him, I could see the gun in his hand, he killed him, I pushed Femi off me and got out of the car, I would rather not be with him but the last place I wanted to be was in a car with a dead man

"Let's go" As if he knew my legs couldn't move anymore, he grabbed my hand, and we walked to his car. It was a distance, but he was easy on me, so I could still make it. He pushed me into the car, got in, and drove off.

I was still in shock. I stared into thin air throughout the drive, and all that played through my mind was the lifeless body of Femi on my body. I couldn't get the image off my head, how his blood gushed out on me, I looked at my dress which was completely soaked with blood, my face too. I felt nauseated. This was the second time I saw him kill someone, he was a maniac, he had no remorse after killing a person, he acted normal like nothing ever happened. I was more scared for my life because if he could kill people like that, what about me. I knew he was a killer, I was a threat, I disobeyed his orders, I tried to run from him even after he warned me, I wondered what he could do to me. I was lost in my thoughts that I didn't realize we've stopped already until he opened the door for me to step out. I noticed everywhere was dim, the only light came from the moon and the few streetlights that I could see through the tall fence, everywhere seemed quiet, I couldn't hear any sound, I just followed him slowly into the building, when we got in, he locked the doors and turned on the lights. I was amazed at the sight of the house. It was so neat and luxuriously furnished, everything seemed right in place and in order. I had to admit, he's a crazy hell of a man, but well-organized. I stood by the door to avoid staring him in the eye, I was anxiously waiting for the worst, maybe a heavy slap, a stab in the neck, or chest, but nothing happened. I raised my head and saw him sitting on one of the chairs looking at me

"Why did you take off the air pod?" He asked in his calmest. I felt less scared. I'm sorry. He stood up and walked towards me, he looked into my eyes, I did too

"you'll never disobey me again" I could detect the anger in his voice

"O-o-kay sir" I mumbled

"I'll show you where to clean up" I followed him upstairs to a dark room. He gestured for me to go in, and I did. He switched on the light, and I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing. The room was painted purple with a medium-sized bed, a wardrobe, and a door by it. I was utterly confused, I thought he would kill me for going against his order, instead he gave me such a beautiful room. He was an unpredictable man, very unpredictable. A few hours ago I was his captive, tied up in an empty room, but here I am covered in the blood of a man who almost raped me, and the man who kidnapped me saved me, and gave me shelter. Everything is happening so fast, but I just needed to rest from all this problem I got myself into and hope when I sleep off, and wake up, I'll find out it was all a dream.

I thought morning would never come, I've been awake,scared that he will come in and do something bad to me and even when my eyes close for just a second all I see is femi all over again,it felt like I was reliving that moment.

I couldn't sleep so I just laid on the bed looking at the ceiling wondering what my life would be from now cause I don't think he was ready to let me go but I didn't also know his plans for me,my instincts tells me they were no good.

Lost in thought I didn't realize when he walked in until I heard him clear his throat, I was startled and sat upright,he was by the door looking all sweaty like he came back from a run,his stared at me without saying anything which got me uncomfortable, I followed his eyes and noticed I was only putting on my shirt which wasn't long enough to cover my thighs,I quickly used the duvet to cover myself properly,he shook his head with a smile on his face which made me feel me slightly inferior

"here"he walked to the bed and gave me a mini bag

"I don't want you wearing one cloth for days"he said before leaving

I picked the first cloth in the bag,it looked like it has been worn before,it smelt nice like him,it was big enough for someone my size but I liked it,I wore it with a grey shorts, it made me feel small even if I wasn't a petite person.

I carefully went down the stairs,i found my way to the kitchen where I found him trying to put the bread in the toaster, I stood behind the wall of the kitchen to avoid him seeing me, I didn't want him to think I was here to steal his food or take a tour round his house

"you can come out now"I didn't know how he knew i was there because I knew I walked quietly but I slowly entered the kitchen,it was slightly messy and slightly big,he wasn't looking at me instead he was focused on what he was doing

"Good morning"I said but didn't get a reply,he just continued with what he was doing,he was trying to fix what I assume was breakfast while I stood there not knowing what to do or say.

Everywhere was quiet which made the moment awkward,i stood there still battling with my mind whether to stay or go to the where I can be in my own silence.

I decided to leave the kitchen knowing I couldn't stay one more minute in this kitchen with him,at least I felt less uncomfortable in the room

I knew he wasn't going to stop me so I quickly turned to leave

"where are you going?"his question stopped me, I didn't know my presence mattered, I also couldn't tell him that I felt uncomfortable around him

"I have to ahhhh....."I couldn't think of anything to lie with

"wait for me at the dinner table, I'll be there with breakfast "I'm his captive why am I having breakfast with him?

Few minutes after,he came with a big tray,he sat across the other end of the table just like me.I watched him arrange everything for himself, I knew I was starving but I didn't know if he wanted me to join him or he wanted me to watch him eat

"you're not hungry?"as if he knew what was on my mind

"I.."

"Eat up"he interrupted, I tried to act cool and not hurriedly take the toasted bread from the plate but it seemed he noticed I was in a haste to eat.

I knew I am not suppose to be eating right now not especially with the man that kidnapped me but I couldn't hold the hunger, I wasn't thinking with my head or emotion instead I was thinking with my tummy.

We barely started eating before hearing a loud bang on the door, I immediately became scared with different negative questions running through my mind

"what if it's the police"I thought.

The bang got louder but he wasn't panicking like I was instead he calmly walked towards the door,Immediately he opened it,two men who looked like they were in their mid forties walked in,one looking more angry than the other

"what were you thinking?"the angry one scolded

"it's a surprise to see you"I don't know how he manage to be calm but I was terrified even if I wasn't the one the angry man was scolding

"cut me some slack jabal,femi is dead and I know you killed him"he paused

"how could you do that,he was our ticket to getting the information we needed, your job was to make him talk that's all but you killed him and ruined everything,we never asked you to kill him or anyone"

"it wasn't intentional"he said with no emotion not even remorse

"how are you even the most recommended when you can't get a job done rightly?"

"You killed Hakeem and his friend because of a stupid comment"the man's anger went up to a whole new level and I just froze on the chair staring at them but I figured it was time to leave cause things were getting serious, I quietly drag out the chair for me to properly move, I walked towards the stairs so I can reach the room, I sincerely thought I could go through them without anyone noticing but I was wrong, I heard a more calm voice calling my attention, I froze for seconds before turning around slowly and seeing all three men staring at me

"and who is she?"the angry man asked

"I..I....I"I didn't plan for this moment at all, I couldn't find my words

"she's my captive"he said

"what's your name"the quiet one who has been calm asked in a shockingly polite way

"I'm Vanessa sir,i didn't mean to interrupt, I'll.. I'll leave now"

"how did she become your captive "the quiet man asked

"she saw me kill Hakeem and his friend"

"what?oh my god.how could you be so careless"the angry man scolded

"I'm sorry for the mistakes sir, I'll look for a better plan and I'll give you what you want "

"you better jabal cause I didn't pay you for nothing and just get rid of her"my heart dropped,i knew I've been expecting him to kill me but knowing that the time was here scared me, I could feel the goosebumps on my body,the sudden sweat and slight cold

"I've apologized already and she's my captive not yours so I get to decide her fate.....sir"he was firm when he spoke like he was in a normal conversation

"if a word gets out about what you did, you'll go down and trust me, I'm not going down with you"he stormed out of the house while the quiet one followed.

He took a deep breath before looking at my direction with no expression on his face.

I couldn't go back to join him even if I was still very hungry, I decided to sleep just to get my mind off my hunger.

When I woke up, I couldn't feel the hunger but I was weak,l went downstairs to with a little expectation that I'll find something to eat.

I entered the kitchen and he wasn't there,he wasn't in the sitting room,it seems I was alone.

"hello"I loudly said and expecting him to come out from somewhere so I could ask for permission to take something to eat so I don't look like a thief but I heard nothing, I tried the hello thing but nothing,realizing he might not be at home, I was alone so that means I can finally escape without worrying about him catching up with me, I'll be long gone before he realises it.

I didn't have any property here except the ones he gave me and as much as I wanted them I didn't want any load to weigh me down. I didn't know when he'll get back so had to be fast, I rushed to the front door it was locked, I tried pushing the door but no avail, I ran to the kitchen to check for a back door and fortunately for me there was and it wasn't locked.

I ran out without closing the door, I got to gate it was locked,I climbed the gate,it was my only way out of here.I got to the top of the gate and jump to the other side.

Immediately I feet hit the ground, I felt my ankle dislocate,the pain was bad but I tried to ignore all that cause I was free finally.

I didn't know which direction to go but I had to act fast, I could'nt run as fast so I leaped but I tried to be as fast as possible.

With every jump the pain from my ankle hurts worse,i knew I didn't have enough time and I was still close to his house but I couldn't run, I rested on one of the pole before I continued, I didn't know where exactly I was going to but I knew I'll get help and when I do I'll find a way to the police station and report everything I know, I'll tell them how he cut the throats of those guys and how he shot Femi, I knew he's name and where he stayed which is enough information for the police

Knowing I was finally far from his house gave me relief.I just kept walking cause I couldn't run anymore but I've never been on this side of town so I didn't know anywhere here, I kept walking aimlessly, I could feel my tummy rumble,I was hungry and tired,i haven't eaten properly for a while now.

Every where was barely bright ,the lights from the few cars and street lights were helping a little for me to see where I was going.I tired to find a store or shop to stop at but some stores were closed and i felt embarrassed to enter the few ones that were open but I couldn't keep up walking for long anymore so i summon courage to into the closest store.

I entered the store but before I could find someone,a middle-aged man walked up to me, I was intimidated by his size

"why did you get in here,you came to steal abi?"he said gripping my arm

"sir I need help"

"and it's at a jewelry store you decided to find help"

"it's not like that,this was the closest store I could find since I've been running, please help me sir"

"is this the new trick,oya let's go"he dragged me by the arm

"sir please "I kept pleading but he didn't listen, when we got to the door he pushed me to the floor

"I won't let your kind of people steal from me again"

"sir please I'm in trouble,i was kidnapped and I need to get to the police station or maybe use your phone to call my mom, please "

"I can't help you aunty, please go before your kidnapper trace you here"he left me there and entered his store.

I could see a small stall at the other side, i thought about hiding in the small stall and tommorow I'll definitely find help, I knew I couldn't find help by this time and my ankle hurts badly that I had to rest it a little.

I stood up from ground,my ankle was swollen but I wanted to cross to the other side

There weren't a lot of cars passing by anymore, the road wasn't busy which was to my advantage cause walking to the other side will be a lot easier.

I didn't bother to look left or right before crossing, I thought I could pass all the cars without pressure.

Some of the cars slowed down for me to pass since I wasn't fast.Half way to the other side I heard a loud horn, I turned to the direction of the sound and the bright light from the car blinded me, I was frozen, I could not move, I've never been use to road crossing,it scared me.

I saw my life flash before my eyes, I closed my eyes tightly waiting to be crushed but I didn't feel anything,I opened my eyes slowly and saw the car parked directly ahead of me

"how can someone be so stupid"I knew that voice,my eyes widened seeing him properly when he came under the light.

How is that I can't run away from this man?The expression on his face changed from anger to what looked like confusion, I was confused too, I just went through all that stress for nothing just for him to find me.

I was in shock, firstly because I almost got crushed and it's by the same man I just went through all this to get away from.

He rushed to me,he held my shoulder not calmly nor harshly but his grip was firm.My legs move to the direction he wanted

what am I doing? I should scream for help or try to run away,there are people here and they'll help me if I can scream or fight my way out of his arms but my mind thought different from my body, I couldn't scream or fight, I could only see and hear but couldn't control my own body,he was the one controlling my movement,tears uncontrollably rushed from my eyes but I knew no one would see me crying,and with every painful step I took towards his car,my heart felt heavy.

He properly placed me on the back seat before getting into the car and we zoomed off

My tears became worse seeing that I lost another opportunity to leave this man,the pain in my chest hurt badly, I was angry not towards him but towards myself

how many more opportunities will I keep on missing before I become brave?

I cried knowing this was it,this will probably be my last chance, I didn't know what he'll do to me this time for disobeying him again.

How can I be so stupid?why couldn't I do anything back there? I just followed him stupidly like a fool.

The hurt in my chest became so much that I started screaming in frustration, I banged on the windows hoping someone outside could hear me

"get me out of here, someone help"I screamed

"Will you fucking stop that, it's irritating me" he said but I didn't care.

I kept screaming and banging the windows until he parked beside the road.

Everywhere was quiet and lonely, I've seen scenes like this in movies, where the killer kills his captive and dumps the body by the road and it felt like this was about to be my case.

My thoughts made my heart start beating at its fastest, my anger had turned into fear.

He opened the door and grabbed my face harshly

"I'm sorry" I begged for life, I didn't feel like dying yet

"you won't irritate me again, okay?"I nodded quickly

"put this on"he gave me a blindfold which I put on immediately.

I kept my mouth shut halfway through the drive, it was almost a long drive, the car stopped and he came to take me, I followed his every step even if I didn't know what was happening.

We stopped and I still had no idea about what was going on until I felt his hand gently take mine and raise it above my head and he did the same to the other, he firmly held my hands in the air with one hand, i could smell him, he was so close that I could feel his hot breath on my face.

I flinched at the touch of cold metal around my wrist, I felt the metal go around my wrist continuously and it got attached to something.

I didn't feel good about this, I didn't know where we were but I had a strong feeling that I was back to square one, this was the same position I was in the first time he took me, even if I knew what was going on, a little part of me hope I was wrong.

I inhaled as his hot breath hit my ear, he untied the blindfold and slowly took it off.

The first thing I laid my eyes on was his chest which was visible through his half-buttoned shirt, I raised my head to meet his eyes and all I saw was calmness, no anger like I expected but I knew he saw the anger and fear in mine, my eyes were locked with his till he created a distance between us.

I looked around and I was right, I was back in the same empty room, tied up like I was before, I never knew this would happen cause I never thought he'd find me but he did.

I couldn't control my tears as they uncontrollably rushed out of my eyes, I didn't know what he'd do to me but I was scared cause any decision he took wouldn't be in my favour.

"Will you kill me?"I managed to ask between tears but he didn't answer, he came closer to the extent that my nose was a few inches from his chest, he was way taller than I was that he had to raise my head to look into his eyes and seeing that he was chill about everything made me triple scared, he's chillness made it difficult to read what was going on in his head

"you hurt your ankle?" he asked and I nodded still looking at him like I was seeking the furiousness in his eyes

"That's what happens to girls who don't obey instructions"I watched him go down on one knee, I didn't understand how that made me feel but seeing him taking my leg on his lap and gently touching my swollen ankle made the pain lessen.

What was wrong with me? I was meant to be angry at this man but Instead, I felt touched by what he was doing.

He stood up and fixed himself before leaving.

As he shut the door it dawned on me, I watched myself take the stupidest decision of my life, I didn't know what exactly went wrong with me, from the moment he took me into his car to this very moment, I couldn't control everything about myself and his eyes, they just had something in them, something I couldn't figure out.

********

My arms were aching, my ankle was on fire, my tummy rumbling, and I was thirsty too.

I gave up trying to release myself, the more I did, the more I got hurt.

I thought he left me here to die but after what felt like hours there he was standing far from me, I never expected to see him again

"please sir" I barely said, I couldn't see myself continuing in the pain

He came closer and took the chains off, I didn't see that coming but I was happy even if I couldn't feel my arms.

I collapsed on him, I'd lost all my strength and I couldn't stand properly.

While holding me he took the blindfold from the front pocket of his shirt and covered my eyes with it, I didn't know why he always blindfolded me but knowing that it meant that his taking me with him made me feel less worried.
