Chapter 5 No.5

"Earth to you boy" he saw another boy standing next to raven head and quickly recognized his voice.?

I'm alive?

What was that? Dream??

No.

Who is JK??

Why am I here??

Ahhh what is happening???

His train of thoughts was broke when he felt someone's hand on his shoulder, his bloody shoulder. Blood was clear over from his zipper but that was least of his worries right now. He was dragged inside the mansion from the same boy.

"Hi. I'm Jackson. You...." Jackson was cut off by the glare from the raven head.?

"Woah woah woah easy JK. I just introduced myself. Okay okay" he said gesturing as?zipping his lips.

"Good for you. Go and bring Kai to my office and you follow me" he said pointing at Aiden.?

Aiden didn't even think of thinking about anything else. He followed the feet movement of the raven head and followed him to his office. He just stood there and Jonathan got busy in some paper work. After few moments the door knocked and Aiden flinched on the sound and turned to see two boy coming inside. One was Jackson the other one?must be Kai the one Jonathan mentioned earlier.?

"Sorry sir. I got stuck in....." Kai didn't even finish his sentence when Jonathan slides the box wrapped neatly in pretty silver sheet with a card on it. Kai smiled looking at the package. Jonathan also smiled but his smile quickly changed in smirk and he gestured Kai to open the box. Kai read the card which indicated?

Merry Christmas Papa. I know you cannot come home so this is the gift for you from my side and mom's. We love you. I love you papa ?? ?

Kai smiled at the card and kissed it and tore off the sheet, quickly opened the box.?

A heart wrenching scream filled the room and Kai fell on his knees. Something hard?touched Aiden's leg and he averted his gaze to what is it. Aiden also gasped and quickly moved away from his place. He looked at Kai who was crying his eyes out.

There was a head of a kid lying on the ground and it took Aiden no time to understand who he will be. Kid's eyes and mouth were open which was clear that he was not killed peacefully.?

To say Aiden was frightened will be an understatement he was terrified. He heard mumbling from that person Kai "It was his birthday..... He would have turned 10 today" another scream left his moth.?

"Two days mean two days. Not a moment more. Take him out of my sight" Jonathan ordered completely shocked Jackson who held Kai's arm and took him out of the room.

"Michael." Jonathan called but no one came. "MICHEAL" he yelled again and a short boy with blond hair came running and stood in front of him.?

"Lock him up and report me back" He said to the blond and looked at the brunette who was still not recovered from the previous shock and flinched when Michael held his hand. Jonathan smirked and went back to his paper work.?

Michael looked at the brunette with amusement who was practically shaking in his hold, he traced his figure over his arm and threw him into the room and locked the brunette in a very small room with a single bed and bathroom. Mickle gave have him a last glance and left without saying anything. Aiden stumbled toward the bed but he knew he can't get there so he sat on the ground. Tear welled in his eyes thinking about what happened and what could happen. The event that he just witnessed freighted him. He was terrified to even make a noise he don��t want to die, he just held his knees close to his chest and buried his head into his knees and cried, cried till he has no more energy to cry.?

It was his birthday...... he would have turned 10 today"?

Aiden was unable to forget what he witnessed earlier. He was too terrified to even make a sound. He was sitting on ground tears streaming down his face unaware of how much time he spent there.?

"Why me? Why is it always me? Huh what did I even do to deserve this? Why? Why? WHYYYY?�� Aiden said while banging his head on his knees and producing muffled screams in frustration and fear while pulling his hairs. Unaware of the fact that someone was watching his every move.?

Aiden spend the whole night sitting there not for once his tears stopped or he lift his head.?

How long are you going to need someone else to save you? Can't you for once help yourself? For once get yourself out from something?

His inner voice demanded and Aiden felt small infront of his own self.

"It's true! No really. How long are you expecting someone else to be your savior? First Jimmy then Maddie, What now? Huh what now?" He said to himself and shoot his head straight. His nose pink from all the crying and cheeks?stained from dried tears. He left the shaky breath.?

"I'm going to escape."

?A broad smirk was made on the person's face who was standing on the other side of the screen, watching the brunette giving courage to himself. "Good luck boy" he said and laid down on the bed.?

Morning light shinned down on the boy from the air duct who was sleeping on the ground. He got up and went to the bathroom and done his morning routine.

"Aiden you stink" he said to himself and get the zipper off of his shoulder. The stains of dry blood was clear on his shoulder he unbuttoned his shirt and washed his?shoulder.?

He washed his hairs and sat back on the bed thinking about how to execute his escape plan. Not a moment after the metallic door opened and the guy from yesterday came in with a plate of food in his hand.

"Here, eat up boy" he said placing the plate down on the bed infront of brunette and was about to left when brunette spoken,

"Take it back. I don't want to eat" he said and crawled himself back to keep distance from the food tray.

"Eat up boy. It's a long ride. You won't survive at this rate. Look at you, just a glimpse of what could happen to you made you a living corpse. You need to eat to survive" the blond boy said and pushed the tray further to the brunette.

"Take your tray and your sweet sympathetic words and get out Michael" Aiden said to the guy and pushed the tray back.?

Michael harshly pulled the boy from his jaw and dragged his face close "Calm it down baby boy. If it wasn't about JK you wouldn��t be able to live another second. Don't test my patience and do what you are told." Michael said by tapping softly on Aiden��s jaw and let go of him.?

"Y-you were the one who s-stayed at the store for late wasn't you?" Aiden said by exchanging gaze with Michael who smirked and walked toward the door.

"Now you got it. Good for you boy. Yes, it was me. Hope you get it now why I was there in the first place." That ugly smirk never left from his face that disgust Aiden more and make him frightened also.

"Why am I here? WHY" Aiden said and launched toward Michael with the knife he took from the tray but Michael snatched it from his hand and threw it aside.

"That is not my story to tell. Now I may take my leave. Eat and rest" Michael said and winked at brunette and left the room.?Aiden kept on standing there now more determent to run away from here.

"Feisty huh"?Jonathan said while looking at the session between Michael and Aiden and smiled?"It'll be fun. Let the game began"?He said looking at Aiden who was still staring at the ground.
