_Chazz POV_
I felt the sun shining dimly onto my face. Groaning slightly I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I realized there was bandaging around where the gash had been. Right then I realized that I wasn't in my warm bed at home with the cat snuggled next to me, but an empty room with plain walls and an uncomfortable bed. One window casted light onto me. I wiggled out from the covers; the wooden floors were cold against my bare feet. The door was across from the bed I had woken up in.
I was hesitant to open the door; in fear of what I might find. But finally I did and was greeted with the boy, Jaden, from earlier. I jumped in shook; he was standing staring at me with brown eyes. "You're awake…finally" he closed his eyes and sighed in relief. "I thought maybe I had seriously hurt you or something!" He chuckled with a smile.
"Who-where am I?"
"My house of course"
"Whaa-why?"
"To be my brother of course." I opened my mouth to speak but closed it before words were spoken. "Don't worry mom says we'll be the best of friends!" I noticed tears glazing over his eyes as he smiled. I began to walk backwards before spinning around and dashing down the hallway. I didn't get far though, I felt someone's hand around my waist and scope me up to their chest.
"Look sweetie our son is awake" it was slim man with neat blond hair touching his shoulders and bangs ending above his eyes and brushed to the side. And a woman with wavy sky blue hair ending below her chest and bangs pinned to the right side. She smiled with caring green eyes and put a hand on Jaden's shoulder.
"He's cuter when he's awake, but he's awfully filthy." She spoke with a clear soft voice. "Let's get him cleaned up then we can sit and have dinner" She continued to smile. The man put me down and ruffled my hair.
"Well then me and Jaden will get the food started, right little buddy?"
"I love you dad." Jaden said, sounding almost like a robot. The blond man pulled Jaden down stairs while I was pulled down the hall and into the bathroom.
"Okay sweetie just undress and I'll get the bath ready." I waited for her to leave, but no, she stayed putting a few drops of bubble bath in the water. "Come on, don't be shy. I am your mother after all, nothing I haven't seen before."
"No. you're not my mom. So don't act like it." I snapped, "I'm not taking anything off for you lady."
"Don't make me get your father" She warned, placing her hands on her hips and smiling jokingly. Soon after some struggle she managed to pull my shirt off, but not before I pushed her in the water and running out. But sadly the man had carried me back in, stripped me down and put me in the tub of water. 'This is embarrassing! I'm 13 and a half. And they're treating me like I'm six.' I felt my cheeks burning red as she began to scrub the dirt of my arms and face. "Wait here, I'll go get you some cloths" she smiled once more before leaving me.
I lifted my hand from the water and sighed. I feel real awkward bathing in some strangers house, well, that and they kidnapped me. I can't keep my mind of Jaden though, about how it's his fault I'm here. "To be my brother of course" I mimicked him. "Mom say's we'll get along." I sighed again. I wonder what my mom is thinking right now… what happened when she came back and I wasn't in the car? Nowhere in to be found. I wonder if Slade and Jagger are worried about me…maybe even dad. Again I sighed and slumped down, letting my mouth and nose stay under the warm water. I perked back up hearing the lady open and close the door.
"Let's wash your hair then get you dressed for dinner."
"I capable of do all this myself" I mumbled under my breath.
"What was that?" She asked sharply in an oddly harsh voice than her normal sickening sweet one.
"Nothing, just don't pull it. Haha"
After washing my hair and awkwardly getting changed, she led me down the carpeted hallway. While walking I noticed there were several pictures of her and her husband, but none of Jaden. In fact it didn't even look like they had a kid. When entering the dining room area the delicious smell of curry fried rice balls filled my nose. I don't if it was that I was starving or what, but I could feel my moth watering at the sight. "Looks good, huh Chazz?" Jaden broke through my train of thought, which was eat the food then run away; eat the food then maybe stay long enough to steal said food and take it home with me.
"Uhh, yeah I guess…whatever. Give me some food!...I mean, man anyone else hungry? I sure am..Just a little." The man laughed before serving me a plate. We all sat around the table in silence.
"Go on Chazz sweetie try it" my "mom" gave me an eye closed smile. I hesitated, since none of them had taken a bite yet, but my growling stomach got the best of me. Defeated, I took a bite. And another, and another. It was so yummy, delicious, and fantastic. Then after a couple minutes I felt dizzy and light headed. And the last thing I could think of to say was "You monsters put something in the food…" my voice was hushed and came out in pants.
Later on that same night I woke up. I was in a room, not the one I had woken up that morning, but a room with red walls that were outlined with white. And duel monster posters of Elemental Hero's. After a minute or two I realized a body was lying next to me. I glanced to the side, Jaden. Jaden was lying next to me, sleeping soundly. His chest rising and falling slowly and silently. His arm was resting entangled with my own. Oddly for the first time in two days, I felt actually safe. I'm not sure why, but apparently I did. Then I drifted into a restless slumber filled with nightmares. Just my luck.
