Chapter 21 ~ Game On.

"Why? So you can tell the cops in your perfect world where you escape and mock me?" He sulks and I crease my eyebrows as I do something that I really don't want to do..
Comfort my captor.

"No.. Rosik if you want this to even vaguely work then I need to know you better. You're a complete stranger."
I reason and Rosik stares at my lips the entire time, barely believing my lies as they spill out.

However his eyes fill with so much sickening joy that I have no reason to doubt my acting skills.
Rosik lifts himself off me but as I go to slide away he is quick to grab my arm and he lays his hulking body down beside me, grasping my arm tightly.

"I didn't know my mother.." I fight the urge to roll my eyes at his stereotypical beginning and unwillingly relax into Rosiks bed sighing.

This is going to be a long story, I can tell.

"I'm sorry." I offer blandly and start counting the cracks in the ceiling.
I'll do whatever it takes to keep this story rolling.

"Don't be. She served her purpose.
I had no need for her after she delivered me." I ball my fists at this but remain blasé on the outside.

All these men are so fucked up, where do they get these thoughts?

"My father is a strict man. He raised me well but he is a busy man and growing up I spent much of my time in various classes with other boys. I didn't mind, in fact I excelled in all my classes but my father never noticed. My father is well known in the.. Community for his work so I had high standards to one day take over his business."

"And look what you ended up doing. You must be making him so proud."
I sarcastically remark while Rosik remains silent.
Not dignifying me with a response.

"My Father would beat me every chance he got. Even when I did well in classes he still beat me. An ego is a vulnerability. I have many scars, do you want to see?" Rosik continues and rolls over to face me I keep my face bare of any emotion.

He creases his eyebrows at my blasé reaction but suddenly understanding blossoms in his eyes.

"Somebody has hurt you before."
He exclaims and now I crease my eyebrows and force myself to scoff.

"Yes they have. You are. You're literally starving me." I grit out hurriedly, hoping for Rosik to drop the topic. Rosik can't know about my families secret, nobody can.

"That's not it. You're used to pain, it doesn't surprise you. I have been wondering why you have remained so strong and now I know why.. Who has hurt you?!" Rosik demands and with a heaving motion I manage to push myself back onto my feet and I propel myself away from the bed.

"This isn't therapy-" I begin but as Rosik rises also I watch something fall from his shirt and as it lands on the carpet my heart skips a beat.

It's a blade of hay.

Rosik notices what I'm frozen by and quickly stands on it with his hands held in a surrendering motion.

I vaguely notice my body shaking but I close my eyes tightly, forcing myself to stay grounded.
I am not fainting again.

"Shhh it's okay Kitty, it's okay."
Rosik quickly coo's and he takes advantage of my rigid form and wraps his strong arms around my body holding me flush against him.

I see the mans body flash behind my lids, I can hear the insects chittering on his flesh and I force my hands over my ears before sagging in Rosiks arms whimpering.

I should have closed his eyes, maybe if I had covered his eyes then they wouldn't be haunting me so strongly, he is blaming me. I should have helped him, why didn't I?!
