"The most dangerous thing is this world is to have no purpose." 

Chapter 8

She could feel the cruel cold air everywhere, her feet were in contact with dirt that meant she was barefoot. She tried to get up but her hands were tied. Wait what... where am I? she thought to herself.

This disturbing thought soon led her to open her eyes. All this time it was just a bad dream but her hands were really tied behind her back and she looked up and saw night sky, filled with stars. Where the hell is she?

Her jacket was nowhere to be found and her dress was providing little to no comfort in this weather. She tried moving her head around to suspect her surrounding but even that seemed such a difficult task, her body felt numb to her. But the air around her was fresh and by that she knew she wasn't in the city.

"Comfortable enough?" a slow husky voice came from her left side.

She tilted her head around and saw him. Her eyes widened in quick realisation and everything started coming back to her. She was at a bar and then he came and he was so charming... and then she woke up here. With her hands tied behind her back and her heels was nowhere to be seen. Pity she really liked those heels. Fuck that... to top that she was kidnapped.

She wanted to ask so many questions but she wasn't able to form any kind of words in her head as her head turned into mush. So she looked at him for answers but her doe eyed wide eyes seemed to have no effect on him. He remained motionless, his face emotionless. He was sitting with his back to a tree... but something was different, he no longer seemed so confident.

"You want to know why right?" he said in a whisper, his voice was barely audible "you want to know why you?" he took a deep breath "why here?"

After struggling with what to say she finally found the courage to move her lips and with quivering lips said "please" she was about to break down "let me go?" there was so much that she hasn't done in her life. She wanted to become a lawyer and finish school and she definitely didn't want to die as a virgin.

Ethan looked at her, he knew what he had to do but he just couldn't bring himself to do it. Why was he so heartless... why?

"Help me."

The man who seemed so confident just a few hours... she even know when she got kidnapped, kidnapper or not he definitely knew how to left a first impression. But he seemed so fragile ...so little at this time. His head was now buried between his hands. Did he really just said help me? Or is she hearing things...

Ethan looked up to look at the dark sky he knew she was looking at him with such an intensity that even he could feel it. "I wish I was normal like you." He said while taking a deep breath.

"Didn't ask for this, everyone I loved abandoned me...left me all alone. All by myself for the rest of my life." he got up from his place he was only a few meters away from her. He started walking towards her... her breathing became heavy she started looking around, for some weapon. But she was too weak to do anything.

He was now standing in front of her, and his chiselled features became even more clear now, his raw emotions became more intense. He looked so innocent but so cruel at the same time. How the hell could it be possible... she should not sympathise with him. What the hell is wrong with me? She thought to herself.

He bent down to be at the same level with her, and took all her beauty in. she really was beautiful, he didn't pick her on a random decision. It was fate right? She was there all alone, so beautiful and she looked so much like her. In fact she almost had the same features and long hairs like her... long dark brunette curls which were hugging her body at all the right places.

Her eyes weren't rejecting him, or judging him. But to his surprise they seemed concerned... concerned about him? That can't be true. Why would she be concerned... why she's not acting like others? It angered him a little bit.

Ethan grabbed her jaw between his cold fingers a little too forcefully and made her look into his eyes "aren't you afraid of me?"

He only received silence "answer me" he said in a low scary tone. His face was now only mere inches away from her. Her whole body was shaking but she finally found her mushy brain working again and was able to speak finally "I want to help you."

Ethan's eyes widened in shock and he let go off her jaw, he backed away from her and was about to get up when he heard "tell me how to help you." The beautiful creature sitting in front of him asked in her low shaky voice.

And at that moment for the first time in his life he didn't felt so rejected in his life, he didn't feel like a worthless piece of shit. "You don't even know me."

"Then tell me about yourself." She felt so stupid at that moment for feeling pity for him. But she couldn't help it...

Ethan laughed to himself sarcastically "well there's always a first time for everything." He murmured under his breath.

"So hi my name is Ethan and I am a dentist. And currently my relationship status is a widower and you know what my life is so messed up that sometimes I think that I was born to be a fuck up." He said it all so fast that she was trying to make sense of everything that she didn't even realize that his face was again so close to hers "and there are so many things that I can do to you my sweet creature. That you cannot even think about or dream about. But why the hell I cannot bring myself to do them today is beyond me."

"Then just take a break then." she didn't know what else to say. She certainly didn't want to piss him off anymore that won't do any good. She could feel the warmth from his face, they were that close. His eyes were closed as if he was thinking about something, his hand slid behind her back and she didn't even realize it, but in order to do so his face got buried in her neck, she could feel his hot breath, it send shivers down her spine. His hand opened the knot and untied her hands before she can even say anything.

He fell into her lap and had a breakdown.

"Make it stop please I can't carry on anymore... I miss her. Make me normal please..."

Her hands were free now and he seemed in no position to hurt her... she can escape right? But this vulnerable man in her lap, there was something to him that just couldn't make her hurt him.

"Tell me how to help you." Her hands did something so random they actually started caressing him. Her one hand was in his hair and the other was on his back. What the fuck is she doing? She kept thinking she was insane all the time...

This gesture made him even more vulnerable, he held her even more tightly now and buried his face even further into her lap.

"I really think you should leave. Before I do something that I will regret." She was baffled by his reply. Was he letting her go? What kind of kidnapper was he?

His grip loosened around her... and he finally let her go. He hid his face while standing up and decided to put few good meters between them. "Highway's that way" he pointed towards south with his hand but refused to make eyes contact with her.

"If I were you I wouldn't think twice." He said in a low husky voice. "Go now!"

This time he made it clearer that he didn't want her here anymore.

She was baffled, what was happening? Was he serious? Or is this was some kind of torture routine he had. Either way she refused to have second thoughts and before she knew it, she found herself running in the directions in which her kidnapped pointed to. Ethan eyed from a distance and she was soon succumbed in the darkness. He pinched his eyes and let out a huge scream...

After a million years somebody actually wanted to help him, she didn't reject him like the others she didn't judged him like the others. Why did he let her go? Did he even have a purpose anymore? 

but nothing could be ever this easy with Ethan after all...
