the pain of my whole body but nothing hurts more than my neck, until now I still have no ability to move. I guess my skin color is not enough to darken, because the tie is too tight and I’m sitting on the chair, and there’s nothing in my eyes so I can’t see.
“Where have I been?” I asked softly as my eyes scanned the entire room. there is a small lampshade that gives light to the very dark room but it is far from me, there is also no window here so all I can see is the wall except for a Cabinet that is close to me.
“Good morning” I was surprised when a woman suddenly appeared next to me to remove the rope wrapped around my body. Are all people here Vampires? They are always popping up everywhere.
“You want to keep up with Mr. It’s time to break fast” he said when we stood up, my legs were still shaking a little because I was just now able to walk.
“This way” he said so I followed him walking until we reached the dining room where Mr. Dane or I should say Lucas is our Math teacher.
The food on the table is appetizing. How many days have I not eaten? It’s like I just felt the word ‘hunger’.
“Good morning, sweetheart” he greeted me when I sat down in the seat opposite him, I was still looking straight at the food. Huh?! What a good morning?! When you finish tying me to the chair, that’s all you’ll say?! Sweetie! I was sweating so much there!
even though I wanted to say that word, I chose to keep my mouth shut, because he might change his mind and stop feeding me. Attitude is still demonic.
“How was your sleep, sweetheart?” This is a gentle question to me. I really don’t know how he became a teacher, did I sleep well in the village chair? My neck hurts.
“It’s so beautiful, I feel like I want to sleep with it again” I hope he can feel the sarcasm in my tone. I want to slap him back to back because he is still smiling at me.
“If that’s what you want, why not?” He said, I was secretly tired while eating. It’s annoying, I want to cry with annoyance but I can’t!
“I want to go to school” I said. even if I don’t look at him, I can feel his mood change. What is wrong with what I said? That’s all I want to do, it’s like he’s locking me up here and what’s even more annoying is that he says he owns me. FYI! I am not an object or an animal that when seen scattered on the road will be taken for granted, only I can say that and not the person in front of me.
“No. You won’t go out” he said authoritatively so I felt annoyed. What the hell? I have no freedom for myself? how will my studies be when he bans me from going out?
“I want to study so I will go out when I want.” I gave him a sharp look but he just ignored it.
“My answer is No, and you can’t change my mind.” he said coldly while eating. when can I leave here? Maybe I’ll die without my mother and brother knowing, I’m still with my two friends.
“Please, Mr. Dane, don’t lock me up here. I know I make mistakes sometimes in your subject, but I don’t know why you took me away from mom.” I couldn’t stop being emotional, I’m not really happy about what’s happening. What if he doesn’t really let me out forever?
“I have reason’s, Sweetheart.” it said. The tears that I had been holding back started to fall, what is the reason for that?! That I miss mom.
“Then, What is it?! Tell me your fvcking reason! It’s not because you’re the one who’s getting hurt by what you’re doing! It’s me! if it has anything to do with my personal life, it doesn’t matter. I’m just a teacher!” I shouted. I know what I did was rude because we were in front of the dining table, but I couldn’t help it. Im totally Clueless. if the reason is that I accepted that teddy bear, it is very OA, As in! What’s wrong with that?
“Yeah, right. Im just your teacher and you are my student. But You. Are. Mine! Hear me, sweetheart?” anger and sadness are obvious in his voice. I have to admit that I was scared by what he did when he said that kind of word, it was terrifying and it made my hair stand up. Why not? His gray eyes turned red.
“Please let him go back to the room, to my room.”
“Please let him go back to the room, to my room.” he ordered the two maids who hadn’t moved before, they suddenly grabbed my arm to support me when we left. I want to shake them hard but I can’t because every time I think that even when I go to school I won’t be able to do it, I get depressed.
They didn’t take me to the room where I woke up earlier, it was the teacher’s room because there was a frame hanging on the wall with his face on it. This is better than there, there is a window here where I can see the outside. Even if I look at it, even if I can’t get close.
“When can I get out of here? If I can jump out the window?” I whispered softly while checking how high I would fall if I did that.
Shit! Maybe it will make my life easier!
“Don’t even try” I was surprised when I heard that voice. The teacher. won’t he run away yet?
He was just behind me and he was hugging me from behind, I couldn’t really move because my heart was beating so fast. I’m just looking straight out the window because I’m holding my breath because I might smell it. Jokes! I was nervous especially when he put his chin (Chin) on my shoulder. I think I’m going to have a heart attack!
“Sorry, did I shock you earlier?” he asked softly. I don’t know what to answer because why does he seem to change his mood so quickly? Does he do that everyday?
“A-ahm… a-what” I couldn’t really answer properly. That feeling when you apply for a job and then you’re the one to be interviewed, it’s shit! You’re really dumb because you forgot what you were going to answer.
“Sorry. Tomorrow, you can go to school.” It’s obvious that he really doesn’t want to. He is forced to give in to me because what he wants is for me to just lock myself here in our room.
“Why not today?” I asked him but he just buried his face in my neck, even if I avoided it, I still couldn’t move because of his grip on me.
“Because, You need to rest” he said making me frown. I’m feeling fine, my body is just a little sore but I can bear it.
“Huh? What for?” I still ask. Maybe because my body still hurts? Or he just really doesn’t want to let me out.
“For this” he said so I turned to him but I should not have done it. His eyes turned red and his fangs came out while looking at my neck. Oh shit!
“Teacher, don’t!”
