"Have you ever thought about talking back to them ?" I shook my head . " They have done so much for me , I can't disrespect " I replied . "Then you are a coward " I frown .

"Why am I coward ?" I asked . " Because you let yourself be brainwashed by them , Because you never reason with any of their decisions , if it means you aren't strong enough to believe yourself , It basically means you are a coward "

~&~

The place was empty , there were few men who stopped their work and looked at me as I was being pulled by Ruth towards a door . "There she is " Ruth said opening the door , I saw that man who had a gun on my head and look down, a wave of fear and goosebumps rose in my body .

I was pushed to sit down on a chair , facing him . I never dared to look at him . But I could feel his eyes on me . " You name ?" He asked , I gulp and opened my mouth , I hesitated , But spoke up , " Eve .." , "Eve ? " The guy behind me leaned on the desk in front of me . I didn't know what to say further . I was torn between two worlds . I didn't want to speak the name I had been given by them

" E-Eve Hall" Ruth nodded . " What were you doing in our area ?" I frown , " I-I told you , I was trying to find a place to spend the night , I-I thought no one lived there because of the condition of that house " I tried to answer properly , but I stuttered .

"Eve Hall , Hand me your Id please " Ruth said while the other guy typed away on his laptop , " Why ?" I asked but as soon as I said so the guy in front of me looked up . That was trouble . He seemed the type of guy anyone one would run away from , " Leave us " He said , and for the first time in meeting Ruth I wanted him to stay near me . But he left not before searching my bag again and grabbing my purse , then checking it and taking my Id .

I stood up backing away as he walked towards . I shrunk back in the corner of that cabin as he cornered me . " Please .." , " Please don't kill me ? I will if I find out that you are working under someone I despise , You see this gun " I gasp pulling my hands up to my ears to cover them and I started shivering as he pressed it against my chest , "I will shoot bullets in your gut if you either tell me who you are and are one of their spies , or if you remain silent till I loose my patience "

I whimpered as he pressed it further in my chest and then stepped back . He walked towards the table and sat on his chair ." If I find out Eve isn't your real name , expect to die soon" Standing on the corner of the room, I stare at him as he types away again . The door soon opened as Ruth walked in slamming my Id on the table .

"She's clear , no contacts with any outside men " The man stood up and took my Id stuffing it in his jacket , " Pleases let me leave " I whispered , but they heard me . The door slammed open again , another guy walked in , he seemed shocked to see me . " Who is this ?"He said setting some papers aside , "Found her in the store house " Ruth replied .

" Well if you are worried about her being a spy she isn't leave that child alone " I bite my lip , who was he anyway ? .

" Take her to the basement " I shook my head and anxiety just shoot up . " Why ?" I asked as Ruth held my arm and dragged me out , He pushed me down the stairs and opened the door to reveal a bunk bed and some furniture , " Why aren't you letting me leave ?" I asked quietly . I didn't wanna seem like I was panicked , Sometimes it just makes people angry , " Because we still don't know much about you , once we finally get some answers I will be happy to throw you out this club "

Ruth walked some steps towards the door but turned around and walked towards me making me back up ." You don't have to be worried if you aren't lying . We won't hurt a random person like that , We just have to be cautions sometimes .I will get you something to eat , in return don't try to run away , okay ?" He spoke , I nodded . " I mean it , don't try to run out you will die on spot "

Of course

He was acting like a human seconds ago and went back to being a monster .

I was given food , I had a huge debate with myself whether It was poisoned or not , but they wouldn't kill me unless they thought I was a threat . So I ate the food . Every last bite .

A day passed , I tried to think what would happen in different cases , What if they didn't want me to live ? What if they just left me . Where would I go ?What if they contacted police ? and Who were these people ?

Apart from sleeping there I had no other choice , yes I tired to search for a way to run away but the door was lock with no other way out . I closed the bathroom door behind me and looked around . It was a cold place , seemed like no one had been here for a while . Why would they keep a bed in the basement of a club though , maybe employees have to stay here sometimes ?.

I could hear the sound from above , it was a club I wasn't surprised to hear people . I sat on the bed and took my bag ,I wasn't expecting anyone down here since Ruth had already given me dinner so I slipped on a knee length dress with elbow sleeves , comfortable to sleep in .

It was the dress I would always wear , because it was a gift from my mother . Although the dress was a bit worn out in colour , I still loved it . My head whipped towards the door in a shock and It slammed open , I gasp standing up and backing up towards a wall as I saw a unknown face . The man had a gun in his hand .

Suddenly there were gun shots heard from the above making me pull my hands towards my chest . I screamed as the guy ran to me and pulled my hair dragging me towards the stairs . I whimpered crying as he stopped . His gun was now pressed on my neck , his dirty hands on my waist as he laughed .

I opened my eyes to see that man , He stared at the guy and pointed his gun towards us ,I shout as that man dug his hands in my waist , " One more step and she is dead " The gun shot which came next was so loud , my ears left like they were ringing for the next couple of minutes , I thought I was dead until I felt the guy sliding off me . I breath heavily as that man walked towards but I shake my head trying to get away , before I could he pulled me towards him .

"Stop it , Stay near me . Or get killed , understand ?" He stated , " You are gonna kill me anyway , so just leave me alone !" I yelled . There was silence between us for the next minute , We stared at each other , for what felt like eternity until he pushed my back to the wall and coiled his fingers around my neck .

"You wanna get killed , fine . I'll do the honours " I wheeze as he choked me , I was losing my breath , I held his hand and struggled to breath when he stopped . I saw the look in his eyes it was fighting something . His jaw was clenched , his face was filled with fury but his hand lost its grip over my neck .

I didn't know what to say , But somehow I felt sparks in my stomach as he stared at me .

What am I thinking ? No ! No Eve He is a bad bad man !

He grabbed my elbow and dragged me upstairs , I didn't fight back .
