The next time I opened my eyes, I thought I was blind. The bed I lay on creaked as I moved, and there was a smell of decay. My nose twitched and I felt my stomach turn. I wanted to throw up from the stench, but before I made any sort of decision, the door on the other side of the room opened, then closed. Footsteps came closer to me, and then stopped.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKjhLY7xTO

The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa3gdKO6Cw

The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ujgNyvQLh
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDBGAF85VS
"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82DF4eki1d
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpQVVRWPJo
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQjgjOdgT0
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8B4H50GcA
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpnAVqxnqJ

"But you just said you were going to kill me," I muttered angrily. I didn't want to die. But I wanted this fucker to make up his mind.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXp5R5W2Ud

He moved slowly, and his hand touched my neck, his fingers curling around my windpipe. He didn't press, just tested, but I didn't move a muscle. Then he leaned forward and his lips touched mine. It was only for a few seconds, but it was enough for me to not lose myself.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHrKfdYfsr
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaAibMj0q2
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJotJ7l86f
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGrJgNQ2kT
"Because you wanted me to do it."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkkH42qFeH

"How do you know that?" I said, sitting up slightly. I hated that I couldn't see his face. I wanted to know who I was talking to. Who knew this one particular secret about me. "Who are you?" I hissed.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa6szD5ai7

"Don't worry," he whispered. His hands were on either side of my body now, and he was on his knees in front of me. Again, he pressed his mouth to mine and I could taste something salty on his tongue. When he pulled away, I let out a slow breath. "You'll find out soon enough, Jared."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA9xV3xCG7
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlanTk0FxV
With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM7X9QZnl7

I must have fallen asleep, because when I opened my eyes again, I could see the window and the sunlight streaming through it. The rotten smell from before was gone, replaced by a fresh scent, and I could now see that the room I was in looked very much like a teenager's; there were posters plastered to the walls, a computer in the far corner, and clothes thrown on the floor.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaTsVX0aJi
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgVYwbZeDx
"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH2Sfg50qI

I looked up into a part of deep blue eyes, almost sapphire, a crooked smile and dark hair. I blinked, trying to get my brain to work right, to remember that this guy, though handsome, was a kidnapper and possible killer.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHFBSx723T

He sat down next to me and I could see that he was wearing a pair of ratty jeans and a band shirt. He wasn't facing me so I couldn't see the name on the shirt, not that it mattered.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqDwqPol9N

"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV8qEkIn2A
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdruxiQejQ
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXdnYeRazn

He moved closer to me, his arm brushed mine. I wanted to get away from him, badly, but my body wouldn't let me. In the back of my mind, I wanted to know how he knew something so personal about me, when no one else knew. I didn't really advertise my being gay, so I didn't know how he figured it out.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAay8j3UtP7
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY3f2oBE0M
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBT5Gt0yBl

A smile tugged at the boy's lips before he lifted his hand and wrapped his fingers in my hair. "No," he said, his voice thick with sudden anger. "I won't. That's not what you want."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijaqEnHOXH

What I wanted was something I was sure he wouldn't give me anytime soon. I didn't want to be on the outside anymore.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhazguthE5n
