Sweet Kara

My legs moved fast as I ran through the dark woods, growls could be heard behind me as I ran for my dear life. I looked back and immediately my leg hit a rock, I closed my eyes as my body collided with the hard ground. The growls got closer making me shiver from fear,

Two wolves appear in front of me both of them black with red eyes, and their fangs snapped together with drool falling from their mouth. My heart hammered in my chest, instantly the larger one attacked me, and I screamed.

My head ached badly as I woke up with sweat dripping from my body, my heart still racing with the dream I just had. It felt so real.

My eyes dart around the room, trying to figure out where I was.

I remember losing consciousness on the highway, or maybe I have been kidnapped again. I trembled at the thought of being held captive, yet I was not bound if I was kidnapped as I imagined. Who would leave a captive free without bounds?

The space was beautiful with white curtains, and a gold chandelier hung on the ceiling. I left the soft mattress I found myself on and walked toward the mirror that stood by the corner of a door, I realized my clothes had been changed into simple shorts paired with a T-shirt.

My mind wandered back to the injury on my ankle, quickly I checked my leg however a band-aid was skillfully wrapped around the injured part. I was astonished to realize it did not hurt as before,

Whoever rescued me seemed to be rich, because this place screamed nothing but wealth. I walked back to the bed and lay down, not sure of where I was or who harbored me I decided to rest as much as I could to regain my strength. I had no idea how many days had passed or if I was still in the country.

A few hours later, the sound of the door being unlocked woke me up from my short slumber. I stared ahead and then noticed a girl in a short skirt sauntering into the room, behind her was a boy dressed in chef attire and I roller tray filled with food in his hands.

The aroma of the variety of meals infiltrated my nostrils making my stomach cry, and my mouth water to have a morsel. I held my belly as embarrassment washed over me, I was not to be blamed when I haven't eaten for heaven knows how long.

“It is good to see you up, you seem much better now, Kara.” The goofy-looking girl says with a smile on her face,

“How do you know my name?”

“Let's quite say I know more than your name.” I furrowed my brow at her response, “Have breakfast first, then we can all sit together and you can get the explanation you deserve.”

One thing did not feel right, my senses were heightened which kind of freaked me out. My heart accelerates invariably, Yet I asked the question that came to mind first “Who are we?”

“Trust me you'll understand everything soon.”

“How can I trust someone when I don't even know your name.” My eyes scrutinized her, a reading glass sat on her nose making her look like some kind of tech individual.

“I'm Gigira. But my friends call me Gigi.”

Her name sounds weird but I was not going to say that to her, so I let it off. “Thank you for the meal,” I remark sincerely,

“Please take your time to get a refill, I put some spare clothes in the closet, you can change into your choice of clothing. I'll come to you when you're done.”

Her comments made me wonder who the hell she was. She spoke so well for her age, merely looking at her one can tell she is not more than nineteen. I watched them both exit the room after the chef served my meal.

Quickly I finished up my meal, which was delicious and sumptuous. For clothing, I picked simple black pants and paired them with a red t-shirt, with my hair tied up in a bun. Just as she promised Gigi walked into the room with a signal that I come with her.

My gaze scoured the place, the house was indeed a luxurious one with an expensive interior decor. It was impressive. We walked for two minutes before arriving outside, in front stood a pool with blue waters. I noticed a group of people seated together under a shade, and we sauntered in their direction.

My body didn't feel right, my gums hurt, and my blood felt cold inside my veins. I realized I could now walk properly without feeling any pang in my injured ankle which surprised me, yet I shook the thought out of my head. Perhaps while I was out a physician attended to my wounds, I thought.

Eventually, we arrived at the spot where the group sat. My eyes observed everyone at the table, in total they were three persons. A girl and two young boys.

“Guys, this is Kara,” Gigi explained to the group, the girl seated waved at me with a warm smile on her face, while the boys nodded their heads at me. “Kara this is Malia, Zayn, and Zurich.”

I simply nodded my head at the group, refusing to say a word. “Hi Kara, I'm Malia and these are my twin brothers.” The brunette explains further. She possessed an optimistic personality which suited her beautiful looks, whereas the twins were the opposite.

“Come on, take a seat.” Gigi implored me, as she moved to an empty chair to help herself. My patience was running low at this point, I needed answers; where I was? And who the fuck are these people!

I thought of Kelly she would be super worried about looking for me, I still did not send any report to Zach Bills my boss. I had no idea what was happening.

“You mentioned explaining to me what's going on,” I broke the silence, my attention on Gigi who was typing away on her notepad. “Just a little more time, he will soon be here.”

My brows creased hearing her words, He! Who will soon be here? I wanted to scream yet nothing left my mouth. “Look, Gigi, I have wasted so much time, I do not even know where I am who I'm with, or how long I have been away, but I really do need to leave.”

“If you could somehow explain to me, how I got here and also how I can leave back to my city, that would be great.”

The earlier I get out of this place the better it is, I have to report back to work. “Exercise patience Kara, he'll be here in no time.”

“You do not understand_” my words are cut short by the brunette, “He is here!” she squealed like a child happy to see her parents after a long trip. The look of admiration on their faces confused me, who on earth was this person? I followed their gaze in the direction to catch a glimpse of this unfamiliar man.

Just then a figure covered in black strolled in our direction, the rays of the sun blocking the view of his face, I observed this strange person as he strolled toward the group with both hands tucked into his pockets.

Time seemed to stop as he approached closer, anticipation clearly in the air with my heart racing until he eventually arrived at the table we gathered, and my heart seemed to stop, my gaze fixed on him. How is this possible? What is he doing here?

His gaze also fixed on mine, for a minute we locked eyes on one another. A smirk formed on his face,

“Welcome back boss,” Gigi says her attention still on her notepad,

I watched dumbfounded as he walked to the empty chair opposite mine, “How do you feel now, sweet Kara?” his voice resounds in my head. My eyes search those dark Hazel orbs,

“Rodrigo?” I whisper in disbelief. “In the flesh,” he responds with a half smile on his lips.
