{Chapter 5: No Words for this Feeling}
This gang of guys kidnaps me here. At some place that no one would be here. After they take off the tracking device behind my neck… they lead me here. Elsword would never find me. He never will. No one would.
"Now… what should I do with you?" One of the men says with laughter and kicks me down on the ground.
(Ow…! This man…!)
"Haha, this girl is so fun to play with," They then lift up my chin up, "Hm… Beautiful face…"
"Hey!" I blush his hand away in anger, "Why did you have to kidnap me here?"
They all laugh, "Oh, what, is there another reason that we brought you here?" He grinned evilly, "Just wait until our boss come here to take something important from you…"
(Something important… What?) I thought curiously until something very tight all around my waist and they sit me up against the wall. "Now you tight up, there are nothing you can do to break this rope," They smirk down above me.
A sweat down on my face and I have no idea what to do.
Suddenly, a loud bang of the door hit against the wall and the man came in with a grin on his face, his eyes look at me from afar. "Sir, this girl is here like your boss asked for," One of the man said.
"Oberon, Ophelia, Ferdinand, and Code Thunderbolt… Please appears behind that man while everyone is staring at me," I mumble quietly so that no one can hear me. They do what I ask them to and the man continues to look at me. "Hello there, Nasod Queen," He smiles evilly, "My, you have such a beautiful face and you also make a good power for us…"
(Power…?) I suddenly remember what Elsword told me before, "Special ability, power… I don't want myself to protect you, so you have to protect yourself. Maybe someone out there knows about our power and kills us for it."
(All of that… was true?) I suddenly feel something bad will happen to me. I should've trust his words more and be more careful of people around me. Just how many times have I been kidnapping now…
"Hm…" The man look at me up and down, my boss is going to be happy if he knows that we brought you here…" He smirks.
"Wait… You're not the boss?" I asked, "I mean, the very boss."
"Pfft… of course not," he grinned, "But don't worry, our boss will be coming here soon," He then smiles evilly.
After that, they just stare at me like a creep while I try to cut the rope with iron scrap knife with my hand behind my back. Just that important moment I shouted, "Now, my assistant!" I cut the rope and finally, I'm free. I just stand there, watching them get kills. That is my favorite part. Bad people who hurt me should be killing by me.
Blood and dead body goes everywhere and my cloth is fills with blood.
"P-please, don't hurt-"
The sound of the slash and the shout sound in pain aloud the whole warehouse. Looks like the boss one won't be here anymore. Instead... when I get out of that creepy place, I see Elsword far away, still my robot assistant behind me. "Summon back, you all," I said, they all then disappeared.
With an iron scrap knife in my hand, I walk towards him slowly just when he turns around; his eyes open wide after he looked at me surprisingly. Of course, my cloth and face are fills with blood; no one would just making no-emotion-face at me. "Eve… there you are…" His voice is shaking.
"Yeah… sorry," I said, "They kidnap me, so…"
Without waiting to listen, he hugged me suddenly, "You make me worried, idiot…" He says, gripping his arm around me, "I've been searching for you everywhere all this time… You know how hard it been!"
"Hey… you'll get the blood that sticking on my clothes…"
"Who cares about that…?" he keeps hugging me, even though it's a little cold outside like this, "When I've thought of losing you, I…." He was silent after that, he releases me and turn his back on me, "Anyway… let's go back to the hotel." He then walks away in the dark.
(W-what…?) My face blush at his words, (what does he mean…) Not knowing what to do next, I just decided to walk back to the car with him.
I'm sitting on the chair, with Elsword sighing before me. He looks like he's very upset and mad at me. I feel bad, but I never have this kind of feeling to anyone like him before… except my ex. I don't know if he'll leave me alone and get bored at me like my ex. He's nice at first, but at the end, he just abandons me.
Elsword looked at me, but not at my face, at my clothes. "Wait… so you killed all of the guys in there by yourself…?" He suddenly says.
"Well, robot assistant help too," I say, "That kind of people… should be killed," I suddenly feel mad again, "Oh, and I'm sorry for making you search up for me like that… It must've been hard for you."
He suddenly blushes, "Me, too… sorry for hugging you up like that earlier," He then look away. I thought about it while we've coming back here. He must've been so tire for trying to find me. He looks so relieve when he hugged me earlier. I don't know why I feel really bad for him. "Then… for making up of what happen, I'll do anything that you want me to."
He then turn around, looking surprise at my words, "…Really? I mean, a Nasod Queen doesn't let anyone bossy her around, is it?"
I sigh, "I just feel…bad, you know, it's been hard for you to find me, right? So… I'll just do whatever you want me to do to make up for what happen."
He stare at me, but then smile mischievously at me, "If you said it like that… then I won't be courteous," He walks up towards me, block me against the wall, not letting me escape.
(W-what is he doing…? I hope he wouldn't make me do something dirty…)
His face gets closer and closer our nose almost touching, "Be my slave for the whole month," He smile brightly.
"F-for a month?! Why?" My eyes open wide.
"Well… I know you would ask me why. It's because it take forever to find you… like a day," He then sigh, "You know how much hours I search all around town to find you, right…?" in his eyes, it looks like it was fill with sorrow. I don't know what to do, so I just nod faintly, "But you won't use me to do something that I shouldn't… right?" I ask him honestly and he smirk, "Who knows until you wait a command from me?"
(Now I see another side of him… Is he like to tease me that much?) I thought.
"So… should we getting start?" He smile, "It would be good if we start right at this time of the night…"
"Hey…" My face blush without thinking, "Well, w-what do you want me to do then?" I was ready. If he try to do anything dirty to me, I'll just slap him in the face. "Hm… Why don't you come to rub my back for me? I'm ready for bath anyway," a smile appears from his face and he walks into the bathroom while I'm sitting there, trying to calm myself down at his command.
(I don't want to do this… but making up for what I have done to make him worry and tire, I have to rub his back…) I sigh.
"Come in here, Eve," He called out to me and I walk into the bathroom. I found him in the bathtub with the towel around his waist, his strong chest showing when he turned around and face me, smiling, "Is my body that good for you to stare at?" He smirks.
"…!" I turn my face away and grab a small towel that's close by, "I wasn't staring…at your body," I soak it up in water and put shampoo in it while he continues teasing me, "If you done rubbing my back, you should wash my chest next…" he chuckle, "Y'know… I never show any woman my body, except for a Nasod like you," He grins.
"Oh, sure…" I sigh, "I know that you're popular with woman and go on seduced them," I sit on the edge of the bathtub and began to wash his back.
"Seduced them? I never did that to a woman, they're the one who seduce me," He chuckle, "Still, you have to be my slave for 1 month," He stick his tongue out at me.
"Well, for making up for what you've done to find me," I say calmly, "…It's been awhile for someone to feel care for me," I grin to myself while Elsword making a weird face to me, "Wait, wait… What do you mean 'it's been awhile'? You don't have someone to feel that way for you for a long time?"
He questions me, but I answer at last, "No one really cares about me. Even though they really nice to me at first, they just abandon me at the end," I said, "And I'm alone… at the end."
He was silence. I don't even know why I'm telling him this stupid story. No one really pay attention to it. "…Sorry for telling my stupid life. I hope it won't make you feel weird."
He suddenly turn his face towards me, stares at me with those sorrow eyes, "…It's not stupid. I totally understand what you mean, Eve." His voice is just so sad like he have been alone before.
(His sister…) My thoughts snap me.
"You know that I'm lonely, right…?" He suddenly makes a puppy face, "That's why I know how you feel… But if you feel lonely, I'll be there for you," He put a smirk on his face, "If you want me to do something 'special'…"
"What… No thank you!" knowing what he meant, my face blush red automatically. He then suddenly turns his whole body around and smile, "Now, you have to wash my chest," He smirk, "If you deny to do so… remember rule number 1."
(Grrr…)
"Fine…" I slowly bring the towel to his chest, but I couldn't bring myself to do so. It was too embarrassed for me. I just stop there, not reaching his chest. He notices that I stop on track and pull my hand towards his chest and grin, "Want to feel my chest, Nasod Queen?"
"H-hey! Stop teasing me already…!" I try to pull my hand back, but he's stronger than me. I just can't win against him like this. "C'mon, don't be shy. I know that you don't really touch men's body for a long time… I was just giving you a chance."
"I told you to stop teasing me!" I pull my hand back finally, but he suddenly pulls my hand back so hard that we both fall into the bathtub. My cloth was in water now that I was in the bathtub with him, "Now you get me all wet…" I frown, "So, what you want me to do?"
He stares at me for a moment, but then spoke, "I can see through your cloth, y'know…" He smirks.
"What…?" I look down at my cloth and see that it can see through the inside. With that, I turned away quickly, "Don't look at it, perv!"
His shoulders are shaking with a laugh and he pats my head, "Alright then… You have to go shower. We're heading to another place."
"…At this late of the night?" I say, "Is Novia's going to be there?"
"Of course not," I sigh, "Now you have to hurry." He then get off of the bathtub and put his clothes on. He turned around and smirk at me, "Hurry up before someone's going to see through your cloths." He chuckle.
"P-perv!" I throw the towel at him, but he dodges it and walk out of the door.
We've come to an auction hall and the others are here too. I was all dress up. I don't know why I am here, watching the bids go by. "You have to know this little bid, okay darling?" Baba whispered at me and winks, "So that you can have a little experience."
Just then, Elsword frown, "She doesn't have to know so much though… but just in case. Make sure you have to zip your mouth," He says, "That's my command to my slave." He smiles.
"Okay then…" I sigh.
Ota suddenly turn to look at me, "Wait, what do you mean 'slave'?" He said, "Eve, you're his slave!?"
"Pfft. That would be so fun," Eisuke chuckles, "I guess you make her do a lot of things…"
"Not really, just one thing," Elsword smirk, "when she do it, it just feels good on my back."
(T-that sounds so wrong! The others will misunderstand!)
Baba and Ota stares at me surprisingly, "You guys…already did it?"
"Wha— no! He just says that to make you guys misunderstand…" My face blush red, "S-so just chill it out!"
"Hmph… I thought maybe there'll be an interesting story…" Soryu laugh, "But maybe you guys would never do that for life…"
"Awww, c'mon guys. I was just teasing her," Elsword sticking his tongue out, "She'll do me a lot of favor when I ask her to. She is a good slave."
I frown at his words, "Oh, sure. I won't do the dirty command."
The next bid is coming up. It's an old painting that done with hand. Baba then smiles at it below, "Well, well… That's my object right there guys."
"The painting?" Soryu stare at the painting below, "Is it the one that you steal from Michelle?"
"Yepp! I'm doing my best to get that painting! It's rare," He smile brightly, look so proud of himself, "It's so hard to get the painting though… there was a guard everywhere."
As the bid go by, the biggest bid was $19 million. "Oh my… $19 million… It's worth it," Eisuke smirk, "Good job, Baba." They both then fist bump each other. "Anytime, boss!" Baba smiled.
"You're so lucky…" Ota pout, "If I draw a painting of someone… Maybe I can get money for represent it…"
"You always get money by doing that, of course," Soryu say, "Why don't you paint something and go represent it to the famous painter?"
"Hm…" Ota turn to look at me suddenly, "Should I draw you for my painting…?" He smiles, "I bet it'll be the most beautiful painting ever…"
"Um… I don't know?" I said, "You can just paint anything you want, but not me."
"Awe…" Ota sigh deeply, "But you're my only chance… Just let me draw you, just once is still good!" He smiles.
I feel Elsword's gaze at me, but I accept it. However, he must not draw something that shows a wrong imagination.
Ota suddenly hugged me and smile brightly, "Thank youuuu, Eve! I'll make sure to treat you like my pet!" He pats my head, "You look like Koro…"
"K-Koro!?" I frown, "Did I really look like your dog…?"
"You do, darling. Especially for Ota," Baba chuckle, "Don't treat are like a dog, Ota. She's a human, you know."
"Got it…" Ota pout.
Elsword stared at me from behind. He just keep staring at me while the bid go by. His eyes getting redder than usual.
After I got back to that crazy auction, I showered and let my exhausted out from my body. After that, I lie down on the bed and let Elsword go into the bathroom. His eye doesn't even meet mine.
(Anyway, Ota's drawing me tomorrow…) I sigh, (Geez… am I look like his dog so much?)
Thinking about Ota, Elsword came out of the bathroom, frowning. He stares at me for a moment, but then looks away.
(What's with him…?) Curious, I look at his back, (He have a grumpy look on his face… What's wrong with him?)
Thinking it's nothing, I continue to relax myself on the bed, but suddenly Elsword walk in closer to me. "You and Ota… seem to getting along well." He says.
"Er… not really," I grin, "He just wants to draw me for his presentation, that's all," I slowly sit up as I speak, "You look… cranky. What's wrong with you?"
"It's your fault for being so naive!" He glares at me.
"What…?" I hang my head to the side, not sure what he meant. But then he speaks shyly with his red face, "…I hate it," He says, "Seeing other men wrapped around you!" His face flushed as I look at him, "Argh… Don't make me say it...!"
"Um… Sorry?" My face suddenly feels hot automatically as I look away from him, saying an apology even though I didn't know what was going on. Suddenly, he came in closer to me and pushed me back down on the bed and presses his forehead against mine.
(…!? W-what is he doing?!) My face blush red, (I-Is he crazy…?!)
"H-hey…! What are you doing!?" I tried to push him away but his face is too close. I can feel his breath on me. He then finally spoke, "…Do you get it now?" He says, "I'm just…"
His shy attitude appears. I chuckle, "Pffftt… What, are you jealous?"
He sighs, then flop down on top of me, "You still don't know… idiot."
(Didn't know… huh,) I know what he meant. I don't want him to say it. I'm just scared. Scared that he will leave me alone and abandoned me. I'm just going to play around and pretend to not be notice what he meant.
"What's wrong with me…?" He whispered softly and move to the side, "Whatever… I'm going to sleep." Not paying attention at me, his eyes become close. "But this is my bed… Your bed is over there." I said.
He went quiet, but then his eyes open, "…Sleep with me."
(…What did he say?)
He grab my hand and pull me down on the bed, he then smirk at me, "My command to you… is to sleep with me," He say, "Don't be scared, because I won't do anything to you… but maybe later I would."
"…!" I blush suddenly, "Stop teasing me!" I pull my hand away, "Tch… just sleep, got it? Don't try something weird."
"Got ittt…" Elsword laugh, then he gets back to sleep again. I stare at his sweet, relax face. I would never fall for anyone like him again. Human men are all the same to me. They play with woman and when they get bored with it, they'll just throw them away.
(…He'll be the same. I'm just going to ignore his feelings to me.)
I'm in the living room, sitting in front of Ota for him drawing me. He smiles while he looks at his drawing and then looks back at me. He just likes a kid. "Man… You and Koro look really alike," He smiles happily, "If I look at you, I might draw Koro instead of you…"
"Arg… Just keep drawing…" I sigh.
"Alrighty," He smiles.
He moves this pencil and draw like a pro. I guess the angelic artists are all pro when it comes to paint. I watch him as he draw me. He looks very serious and paying attention to his drawing different to his usual self. His eyes focus on me then back at the drawing. He suddenly looks at me for a minute and grinned, "I miss you, Koro…" He sighs, "You would never come back to me, and I'm sure…"
(So his dog dies… Sad for him then,) I thought; feel a little sad for him.
"Man… My feeling when I'm with Koro are the same when I'm with you," He frown, "I have to stop feeling this way now, or Elsword will be jealous."
"Pfft… there's no way," I sigh, "But did you love your dog so much that you could describe your feeling towards it?"
He nods, "Koro have been with me since I was 9. He was a little puppy. I always draw him," He smiles, "But it dies when I was 19."
"So you have his drawing?" I asked. Then he nodded again, "It was very cute! If you look at it, you'll see yourself in that drawing, too!" He smiles brightly, "Let's continue. I'm almost finish."
"Really? You really are a pro," I say.
"Yep! That's why people called me 'Angelic Artist'," He grins as he draws, "I'm kinda famous, you know. Whenever I go down there and greet the VIP guest, women are all around me and ask for my autographs."
"Wow… You may be like the others. Eisuke is pretty famous," I said, "It just because his look…"
Ota grinned, "Well, yes. Woman are crazy sometimes," He draw while speaking, "You know, Eve. I'm just trying not to get close to you much."
"Hm…? Why so?" I ask.
"Maybe someone jealous guy out there is watching you from behind," Ota stick his tongue out, "but I should steal his chance…"
(…Chance?) I frown, (Who, Elsword?)
"He would never be jealous again," I chuckle.
"'Again'? That means he got jealous of you before, Eve!?" Ota laugh in amusement, "That's hilarious! I never knew he can get jealous like people in general."
"…So he never get jealous easily with anyone before?" I ask.
"Yup! He's pretty stubborn," Ota laugh, "But he only speaking his true feeling to the one he really loves."
(That sounds like him…)
Ota suddenly smirk and pats my head, putting his drawing of me down, "Can I kiss you, Koro?" He smiles.
"W-what?" A sweat runs down my face little by little, "But you said I'm look like you dog. You…kiss a dog?"
"But if it's you, then yes," He caress my cheek, "So it's a yes from you?" He smiles.
(What's wrong with this guy all of a sudden?!) As I thought that, someone grab my arm and pull me away from Ota's face that was right in front of mine. "What do you think you're doing, Ota?" A voice coming from behind me.
"Aw… You ruined our precious moment…" Ota pout, "Why did you have to come in anyway?"
"What do you mean?" Elsword say, wrapped his arm on my shoulder from behind and act innocent.
(Geez… what is it now?) I sigh silently.
"I know that you've been watching us behind that door. I just want to know what you will do if I kiss Eve for real…" Ota stick his tongue out teasingly, "But you showed up first… I thought that if you didn't show up soon, I'll just kiss her."
"You kid…" He speaks shyly, release his arm around my shoulder and sigh, "Whatever! I'm not watching you…"
"Well, I'm done with your drawing anyway. I just have to paint it," He smiles, "Gee, Elsword. I just wanted to play around with my Koro…"
"Pffft… You can anytime, just don't try anything weird on her," He chuckle, "Like earlier."
"Okayy… I'm going back to my suite then," Ota pout and walk away to the stairs with his drawing of me in his arms.
As I look at Ota walk away up to the suite, Elsword's face appears in front of me, "Hey, were you going to be kiss by him if I wasn't showed up?" He suddenly asks.
"I can't escape… I guess I probably kiss him for real," I say teasingly.
"Really…" He sound disappointed and hit my head slightly with his fist, "I know you're just joking, but I won't forgive you for this…" He pout, "Today is your day off… You should go out and relax rather staying in here all day long."
"Oh…?"
"But you have to come here within 35 minutes if I page you," He says.
"If you say so, I'll go!" I smile happily; finally get to go back to my apartment, "I can go now, right?"
He nodded and I hurry run out of the door. I heard Elsword's laugh behind me.
I'm in a restaurant with Rena, Aisha, Ara, Raven, Chung, and Add. I didn't know that they know each other since they were kids. I feel sick when I see Add with them. "Well… I know that Add and Eve have some bad relationship toward each other…" Raven begin, "But can't help, right? You 2 are friends now."
"'Friend', you say," I sigh deeply, "That jerk kidnap me. I won't forgive him."
"Eh… Stop calling me 'jerk'. It's been a while that I haven't been kidnapped you," Add speak teasingly at me, "but couldn't we be a good friend? I'm so tired of the word that you have called me earlier… It hurt my heart so bad."
"Who cares?!" I frown, "Whatever, if you see me as your friend, I'm the one who will not see you as my friend." I glare coldly at him, and he smile angrily like he's want to kidnap me, that kind of feeling, "You're so…" He groans, "You always act rude towards me…"
"Tch…" I turn my head away and just then, Oberon and Ophelia appears behind me, "It's Add…" Ophelia chuckle, "The one who make Oberon broken…"
"I don't even want to mention him," Oberon sigh.
I look at them, frowning, "Why did you guys have to summon out? Don't you think people might see you?"
"They won't, Your Highness. We're sightless for human," Oberon say, "If we want them to see us, we can do that too."
"You guys know that, but Eve doesn't," Rena laughs, "You're their master, you should know everything…"
"I was so busy with that Elsword… I'm his slave and I have to do what he says…" I say, "But it was my fault. I make him worry so he can make me do whatever he wants for him."
Aisha suddenly groan, "That red head? Tch, he can do whatever he wants…" Aisha said, "Wait… so you were sold to that red head?!"
"My god, Aisha! You just notice?" Raven chuckle, "He said to not tell anyone about the auction… but we're the only one that knows right? So it's not a big of a deal… I guess."
I enjoy my tea while the rest of them talk, smiling to each other. Ara is the first one to speak up, "Eve, Elsword have a sister, right?"
"Yeah, why?" I said, "His sister name is Elesis, the leader of the Red Mercenary Knights, the person that Elsword searching for."
"Hm… she disappears, right?" Chung said, "I mean, she disappear without telling Elsword where she's going."
"I feel bad for him, though. He has been alone for all his life up 'til now," Aisha sniff, like she's crying.
"Are you crying?" Add smirk, "You're such a crybaby."
"S-shut up! I was just getting a little emotional…" Aisha pouts.
Raven sigh heavily, "So what, you're helping him searching for her?" he says, "Maybe it's hard for you to find her. She might be hard to find."
"It's okay though! Someday, Elsword will found her, for sure," Ara smile happily, "Elsword will be happy if he finds out that Eve is always by his side."
Tea spill out of my mouth and I cough, Rena's hand pats my back hard as I cough there, laughter all around me. "Gosh, Eve. You don't have to spill it on us…" Raven laugh.
"It's all on the floor!" I sigh, "W-whatever. Don't say that in front of Elsword. It's a lie," I sip the tea along as I make an excuse, "Besides, I don't love him. It's all you guys' imagination."
"Surely it's not our imagination. You have fallen in love with him," Raven smirk, "Do you think we didn't know after becoming friends since kindergarten?"
(…He's sharp…) I sigh, (Wait, did I just admit it?!)
Everyone stares at me, a smile on their faces. My face flush and I look away. Am I going to run away from my feeling like this? It's just one person…
I stand on my feet, frowning, "I'm going back to my apartment."
I then walk out of the restaurant without knowing that Add following behind me until I walk for awhile and spot him behind me. I jump. "Wha-! How long have you been stalking me?!"
"…'stalking'? You're bit too rude…" Add sigh deeply, "I just want to walk you home, that is all…"
He walks besides me through the darkness. His look is just like cats especially when he has his cat hood on. He then speak up, "…Do you really love that guy?"
Silence flop down on me. I don't know what to answer him, but it's just a little bit of a thought. "I'm not sure myself. It's because I keep running away from my feelings," In the end, I told Add everything, "I'm just scared. Scared of loneliness, scared that he would abandon me. …How pathetic, isn't it?" I grin as I look down to the ground.
Just then, I was pulling into the tight embrace. "…It's not pathetic. Seeing you like this, it makes me hurt, y'know," Add speak sadly like it's not himself at all. I was so confuse. What is wrong with this jerk?
"I actually…" Just as he was about to finish his sentence, a big scream come out of nowhere.
"What is going on here?! Why were you with a man, Eve?!" It was Novia and Eisuke. "What is the meaning of this?!"
"Hey… It's isn't what you think!" I said, release the embrace.
"But this is totally cheating right, Eisuke?!"
"…I guess," He said, turning his head away.
"Hmph. I have to tell Elsword about you and your new boyfriend!" She groans, and then just run away with Eisuke. I don't even feel their present. Add sigh, "What was that? Don't tell me that was Novia."
"Of course. I have to invade this. Elsword is going to be in a lot of trouble if his business went down by me…" I frown.
Add seem disappoint, but then he smirks, "Hm… just do whatever you want quick…" He sigh, "Anyway, good night then."
"Yeah…"
He walks away, alone in the dark. I stand there; ready to go back to the hotel. I have to make it quick and get there on time until that Novia is going to get there first. If Nova knows that I'm his fake girlfriend, Elsword maybe punish me and make me do dirty things I'm sure…
