POV: Lu Xun

Pairing: Cao Pi x Lu Xun

From the moment I became a Wu officer, after Sun Ce took me in so that I could bring honor back to my family, I knew that there was going to be circumstances and moments where I would be put into severe danger. Circumstances were I would think to myself 'Is this the end?' 'This is how I'm going to end, I'm not going to get out of this one.' That was exactly what I was thinking in this exact moment.

"Get in there!" the man growled as he pushed me through a doorway, almost causing me to loose my balance. I caught myself, standing up straight as I waited for whatever was going to happen to me next. The blindfold was removed then and I was faced with an officer of Wei, someone that I didn't know the name of. He look at me with disgust in his eyes before he moved away, my eyes following his movements. He didn't go far, just behind me where he grabbed onto my wrists painfully, twisting my bound arms to the point where I was sure he was going to break one of them.

"Try anything and i will kill you on the spot. Do you understand that you little brat?" he hissed into my head, his breath smelling absolutely vile. Feeling nauseous, I simply nodded at him, not trusting my voice. He took that for a good enough answer and cut the rope that were bounding my hands. As I promised, I tried nothing. Not like there was going to be anything I could do anyways. I just rubbed at my burning wrists a bit in an attempt to sooth them as I turned to look at the man. He looked back at me, the distaste still clear on his face.

"This door will be locked so don't even try opening it when I leave. And don't try to break it down, your small, tiny arms couldn't get you very far after all," he spoke to me, sending me a glare before leaving the room. I heard the lock click into place and then his footsteps moving down the hallway. Not able to help myself, I moved to the door and tried the knob. Locked, just like he said it would be.

"Shit," I cursed under my breath, looking around the room. It was a rather luxurious room, though I was certain that my stay at the Wei capital would be anything but. Rubbing my forehead, I went over to the doors that lead out into the balcony, which were surprisingly unlocked. Going out, I went to the edge and looked down. Well, I did have a way out. Of course, the fall would kill me, but I wouldn't need to deal with whatever they were going to do with me. That would be a last resort. Sighing heavily, I walked back into the room, chewing on my fingernails nervously. I just couldn't believe that this was happening to me. I was not at all well known within the Wu forces yet, I was a strategist in training still basically a newbie under Master Lu Meng! Yeah, of course, they knew that I was a Wu officer due to my clothing, but I wouldn't imagine that they knew who I was! Barely anyone in my own forces knew my name, even if it was told to them! I was so low on the ranking that most people forgot! So what could the Wei possibly want with me?

Taking a deep breath, I let it out slowly as i started to pace the room, looking for any sort of exit that wouldn't lead to death such as jumping off of the balcony would. I was a strategist dammit, I needed to figure this out and I needed to figure it out quick. I was capable of doing it, I knew I was. As I got a closer look of the room, there was a desk with many books and crolls laid onto it. Most of them appeared to me learning books, strategy scrolls, some that were done professionally and some that whoever was living in this room obviously made themselves. It sparking my interest, I rolled open one a bit more to look at it, examining it. It wasn't a half bad strategy, though the person left out a lot of open spots. Spots that should be pretty obvious, even to a strategist in training such as myself. It was basically planning a full on forward assault without any sort of backup or reassurance. Biting my lower lip, I was just about to open another when the door unlocked and opened. I jumped a bit and stood up straight, spinning around to look at who had came in. Who I saw, I certainly was not expecting.

"Lu Xun, is it not?" the warlord of Wei, Cao Cao, questioned me, this face tight,"Wu's strategist in training?" Cao Cao himself was here to see me? And he even knew what my name was. It was so shocking that I couldn't even find the words to speak for a moment. However, another man standing next to him, which I recognized as Cao Ren, his cousin, cleared his throat, looking at me with a pointed eye. Eyes widening slightly, I stood up a bit straight as I looked towards Cao Cao.

"Yes, my name is Lu Xun," I replied to him, bowing to him. Even though he is my enemy, it was something that could not help. Plus, if I was acting as polite as I could towards him, he might not be quite to eager to kill me. Or, do whatever it was he was planning. He simply looked at me for a moment before taking a few steps further into the room, obviously checking me out. He wanted to know exactly what he was up against is what I figured. Which, from just looking at my appearance, wasn't much.

"You're probably very curious as to why you are here," he spoke next, moving his hands behind his back. Obviously, he didn't think very much of me. That hurt just a bit, but maybe that was for the best,. He wouldn't be expecting anything if he stayed in the dark as long as possible. I nodded to his words, even though it wasn't a question. Answers for what in the world I was doing here would be wonderful. He paced the room a bit, heading over towards me."If you couldn't already guess, this is a kidnapping. Taking someone that Wu values very much so that they will charge here blindly to come and rescue you."

"Excuse me my Lord, however I'm afraid you may have picked the wrong person to do that with. As far as Wu is concerned, I'm very much replaceable. I'm surprise you even knew my name," I replied to him with a small shake of my head. I wasn't sure how to talk to them men, what would set them off and what was okay to say around them. Cao Cao seemed unfazed by my words, simply nodded his head as he started to circle around me slowly.

"Yes, that may be true. However, what you lack in skill and talent, you make up for with your bonds with particular officers within the Wu forces. Such as...Gan Ning? Lu Meng? I know he values you very much. And Sun Quan, he thinks that you can reach to very high places," he replied, making me perk up.

"How do you-?"

"Spies my young lad. There are officers within the Wu forces that are spies of mine," he held up one hand as I opened my mouth to speak,"Do not try to ask me the names of them, you should be smart enough to know that I wouldn't give out information like that." Of course I knew that, how could I not? My shoulders dropping, I watched as he continued around me, putting his hand back behind his back."So, we actually know what you are much more valuable than you may think because of the bonds you have with those few people. And those few people happen to have a very large impact of what the Wu do. So sure, they may not come for you, they may leave you to die here. However, I can assure you that if I see potential and ambition in you, Lu Xun, you will not be killed if they do not come for you. And you will not be harmed during your stay here so long as you don't try anything stupid. Are you following my so far Lu Xun?"

"Yes Lord Cao Cao," I replied simply to him, though on the inside I was freaking out. They wouldn't harm me while I was here? Why did I find that hard to believe? And if they didn't come I wouldn't be killed? What would they do with me? Make me a villager? Or worse, try to make me into a guard of his or an officer that goes out a fights against Wu? No, there was no way I could ever fight against my fellow officers, even if they never came for me. They would have their reasons! I'm not that valuable to them!

"During your time here, you will remain in this room. You will not leave unless under the watch of my trusts guards that I am appointing to you, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan. My son Cao Pi will also look after you, bring you your meals, keep you entrained, or should I say torture you because the boy never seemed to remain silent," Cao Cao spoke, stopping in front of me for a moment to look at me,"Before that, is there any information of value that you would like to tell us. Any secrets within Wu that we could use against them? Your stay will be more pleasurable with each thing you tell me."

"I would never give out valuable information that could put my comrades lives on the line," I replied simply, my voice not wavering. And that was very true. I loved all of those people that I worked with, they were like a family to me and their lives mattered. Things that may cause harm to them were going to stay secrets with me. Cao Cao seemed to understand, for he did not try to get anything else out of me. Simply nodded and started back over to the doorway.

"I see. Well, if you change your mind, let us know. Dinner will be brought to you in a few hours or so. This door remains locked and 6 guards will be outside your door at all times. Books are on the shelf for your entertainment and you may touch anything you wish in this room. Just please, try not to throw a temper tantrum. Otherwise, my son will throw one to me," he said simply, motioning for the officers that came into the room with him out. I nodded and bowed to him again, standing straight to watch him leave. Cao Cao sent me a small wave before he exited the room as well and I was left all alone in this large room.
