Victor

"Ohhhhhhhh a package!...for me!?" I ask as Yurio walks towards me with a brown cardboard box which is taped up.

"Ya sure. I mean it not like has your name on it or anything." He says sarcastically. I frown. I love packages... it's always a surprise what's inside. Like could it be that speedo I ordered a while back?... or could it be that new pair of Gucci sunglasses?... or that new pair of fancy underwear?...Like who knows what could be waiting inside that box?

"I'm just kidding sheesh. You don't need to look so down. It's for you." He says pointing at the large scrawl on the box.

Content for Victor Nikiforvo's eyes only.

Instantly I get excited again. "Ooooooohhh maybe it's from a fan! My eyes only!"

I take the box from Yurio and peel off the tape. He leans over my shoulder and watches.

I jerk around. "Hey, can't you read it's for my eyes only!"

He rolls his eyes. "Whatever. It's probably nothing interesting anyway." He walks away, picking up his phone, and speed calls someone... probably Otabek.

"Hey Beka?... ya I'm free... I just need to get away from the idiot..." he turns to looks pointedly at me, then continues to walk down the hall.

"Humph." I pout and stick my tongue out. Then rush back to my room to open the box.

Excitedly I enter my room, close my door and leap into my bed.

Quickly I try to peel off the tape, but I can't, so in the end, I just grab my knife on my bedside table. I love opening packages... probably because it reminds me of my birthday and Christmas... where I get double the gifts because they are on the same day. Having a present, and opening this package may take my mind off of Yuri not being here... especially since I haven't seen him in a while... I'm getting lonely. Every day I go to visit the Ninja's compound... but he isn't there... I hope he isn't avoiding me or anything.

I open the box and find... a USB drive. Maybe it's a photo or an app or a new game I can try!

I rush to grab my computer, and I log in and plug in the USB. It's titled:

For Victor Nikiforvo

That's me! Wow, this sounds so formal! I know that I don't have to be worried about any viruses because Phichit set some complicated thing up. I don't know what he set up because when he was explaining what he wanted to do to my computer we were at the beach, and all I was doing was staring at Yuri in his swimsuit. I think he mentioned something about a firewall... video recording... tracing... well it doesn't matter as long as my computer is protected.

I open the folder, and in it is only one file... a video. I click on it, and it immediately goes to full screen..a black full screen...and I press play.

Instantly my face goes as white as a sheet... what I see makes me feel sick to my stomach...

Victor, we have the thing that is most important to you.

No. I see the face of my love... a knife pressing against his beautiful neck... the neck that I've kissed a million times...

If you do not want Yuri to be hurt, then I suggest you follow everything we tell you to do.

Is that Minami?... holding the knife?... ugh I am so stupid telling Yuri not to worry about him... now I need to beat myself over that... what can I do to get him out of there?... but wait if I do anything, they'll hurt him...I want to throw up...

First, tell no one about this tape, or what you know about Yuri.

Of course, they would ask this...but what would anyone want with my innocent passive Yuri?... wait... they got him as bait didn't they... bait to get me...

Second you will show up at the location written on the box on June 16, 2017, alone, and unarmed, and will willingly let us lead you to Yuri.

Quickly I grab the box and find the location on it...

Lastly, you will destroy all the evidence we have provided you that we are harboring your fiancé.

I clench my fist in the sheets unknowingly causing the temperature of the temperature to fall dramatically...

If you do not follow these three demands then we cannot ensure the safety of your lover. As you can see, we do have weapons, and we are not afraid to use them.

Minami presses the knife into Yuri's skin, and I see a line of red starting to form... the video ends.

"GOD DAMMIT!!!" I scream. As I throw my hands up in the air. "WHAT THE- WHO THE-... JUST WHAT THE FU*K DID I JUST WATCH!" I yank out the USB, freezing it in my tight, cool grasp, and hurl it across the room. It hits the wall and shatters. I bring my hands back down, over my face, and leave them there on each side of my face...

"What am I?" I mummer...

"An idiot sandwich," I say to myself, wishing it was Yuri here to say that to me.

Unknown POV

The air chills... I see the temperature dropping in the side of my vision on the thermometer... the temperature continued to drop even when Victor left the room. I read warning flashes across my sight, turning all I see to a dull amber shade.

WARNING WARNING WARNING LOW TEMPERATURES MAY CAUSE UNEXPECTED SHUT DOWNS

Goes across the top of my vision on a look like a neon sign.

I sigh. I scurry out from my hiding spot on Victor's shelf, and towards his laptop. If I'm going to shut down, it would be best to shut down near the computer so CREATOR gets the message.

I sit myself down next to the computer.

Good thing I'm am a good recorder...

Good thing I'm not alive or else these cold temperatures would kill me...

Good thing CREATOR placed me in a spot where I could see Victor's bed...

Good thing I saw what Victor saw...

Hello lovely human beans~

I hope the chapter was interesting... I know that it was kinda like a repeat of the last chapter... especially Victor's POV... but I wanted to put Victor's reaction to the tape in...

The next chapter... guess whose POV we'll get?!

Akihiko!

I had a fun time writing the chapter... and I hope you'll have fun reading it... but with Akihiko, the real fun starts in chapter 19... chapter 17 is really just an introduction to the beginning of Akihiko's character I feel.

Anyjams, see you in 2 days with a new update.

Peace out.
