Alison POV
I let out a long sigh looking out the window that night was coming, but I didn't get out of bed, not even moving. I was in a kind of shock that made me stay like that all day.
Eiden came earlier to check on me, but I still didn't talk to him, and even less to Bastian, since in the afternoon he had come with food, that as the first time, I didn't want to eat. I didn't want anything from them, it was better if they left me here to die and got rid of me once and for all.
Death was my best ally now.
When I heard the door slam again I didn't need to hear the voice to know it was Eiden who had entered this room.
"Bastian told me you haven't eaten anything" He said, approaching to my bed.
"I don't intend to.” I responded in a whisper.
"It's your decision if you want to die.”
I rolled my eyes looking out the window still from my bed, not wanting to answer those stupid words.
"Although Bastian doesn't understand that, he has a certain appreciation for you, besides that you're someone he doesn't know.” He said, still trying to talk with me.
"I hate him.” I said starting to get mad.
I heard him snort and then look at me, even though I did not looked at him or even want to speak at him.
"You have to clean yourself up, you stink.” He suddenly said.
But his voice was not as strong as always, Eidan was still serious, but he was being… Cautious. His voice was soft and again trying to be kind.
"What are you waiting for?" He blurted out in exasperation.
Okay… That sweet attitude didn’t last long. I don’t know why I’m not surprised for all of this.
He stood in front of me and I looked at him, looking at his impatient face.
"I don't want to.” I responded looking at his eyes.
"You're not a child, I won't bathe you" He folded his arms: "Get up and do it.”
"I said I don't want to.”
He rolled his eyes and pulled the covers off me, saying: "Get up and go to take a bath.”
I watched him walk to another room and with little strength I have on my body, I sat on the bed to look him in the eye.
"Why don't you kill me? Why don't you let me go?” I ask in a whisper, not believing that he will hear my words.
"You're hurt" He said from the bathroom.
"I want to go!" I said again: "Let me go. Would you get rid of me, please, I don't want to be here".
"I don't care, I'll just wait until you're okay to let you go".
Hearing his words, I blanked out, looking in his direction expecting Eiden at any moment to tell me that he was joking, since that is the stupidest reason why someone would kidnap another person like he kidnapped me.
But when he finally comes out of the bathroom, he just looked at me as he walked out to dry his hands.
"I know you don't have anyone outside” He suddenly said.
I glared at him in confusion, but looked down as soon as I remembered the night before.
"You don't know anything..." I muttered.
"I know your name is Alison Lawrence, that you come from a family of four; your parents disappeared twenty years ago and the only relative you had was Jake Lawrence. Your brother.”
I looked at him and pursed my lips angrily. Had he investigated me? This guy is much sicker than anyone would think, and he still insists on saying that he didn't kidnap me... This must be a joke.
"You want me to say more?" He asked and raised an eyebrow.
"You don't know what you're saying, you're an idiot.”
I saw him rush over to me and take my face between his hand, squeezing too hard and making my teeth clash, he is truly strong…
"Watch your mouth" He whispered looking into my eyes: "You only live here for my charity, there is no more, so behave yourself".
I looked at him with hatred, the same way he looked at me, we both hated each other. But it was a short moment of struggle as Eiden let go of me making all the pain concentrate on my jaw.
"Go to bathe yourself, and don’t make me repeat this s**t again” He ordered me.
I looked at him and, without a word, stood up walking to the bathroom in the fastest way my legs could move, as I had spent too much time in that bed, and I was still hurting after that horrible incident.
"Now I'll get you some clothes, I think there was something in here that must be your size…" He said digging in one of the drawers.
I pressed my lips together and went into the bathroom, slamming the door shut. I didn't like him at all and the only thing I wanted was to get out of here no matter what.
I looked at the place and saw the bathtub full, I approached slowly and noticed that it smelled of lavender. At another time I would have liked that, but remembering that Eiden did it, I simply disliked it.
I took off my clothes and only left my bandages on to get into the water.
As much as it bothered me, Eiden was right in what he had said, it stank horribly.
When I got in the water my wounds started to hurt, but that was only for a few seconds. Now the last thing I cared about was that.
Yesterday, I remembered that according to me, at least half of my bones were broken and that was real, I couldn't move, but now? Something… had healed me.
I looked at my body and noticed that there were no needle marks other than on my belly and much less were there any fracture marks, nothing.
I must admit that I felt fear at the thought that maybe Eiden or Bastian had done something to me while I was unconscious. I don't know them, I should be wary of them, and so I do.
"Are you done yet?” I heard Eiden ask outside the bathroom.
"Not yet.” I answered.
"Hurry up, it's almost time to give you your medicine.”
I opened my eyes and thought about it for a second. They were giving me “medicine”, and I don't know what stuff that could be, may be poison or something even worse, I didn't want to be here anymore and the only escape I had was death.
Everything was better than stay here for longer.
I let out a sigh and closed my eyes to let myself sink slowly under the water. I was going to let myself die, and far from being a cowardly act, this was the best way for me to die today.
There would no longer be a pain, let alone the incessant reminder that I was in an unknown place, no, there would only be Jake. I knew he would be waiting for me and even better, maybe my parents too, everything would be back to normal.
Everything.
When I felt the air run out, I let go of the last oxigen I had left and let the water enter my system, let it take me to die. That would be enough.
Now I was really going to die.
