Dangerously Unusual novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12

***

I wondered where we were heading to.

"Come here." Anthonio suddenly said, motioning me to come over.

"What??"

"Do as I say," he answered in a low threatening tone.

I gulped and moved over to sit close to him. I watched him take a rope out and tie both my hands together. Then to my surprise, he took a scarf out of his bag

"W...what's that for?" I stammered afraid. He didn't answer but just approached me before blindfolding me with the scarf, so tight that I was sure not to see a thing!

"W...why?..." was the only word I managed to stammer.

"You do not have to see where we are going."

Great. So I was being kidnapped or what? I got angry at all that was happening. Again!

"So what are you gonna do now?? Huh? Tie my feet??" I asked angrily.

"Maybe I should tie your mouth. Shut up or else you'll make it to the boss with some scars." he always spoke calmly. Calm yet frightening. He did not joke and always meant every freaking word he said! But as stubborn as I was and angry at that moment, I didn't stop talking.

"I don't care! I'm unable to see anything! And I'm sitting here with a mad head like you! I ain't no Anissa Lourdes! I'm me!"

When I didn't get his reply, I began to stupidly regret my act. His silence was killing me and I felt a deadly stare on me. Why wasn't he speaking? I was afraid all of a sudden.

"Apologize. Now," he ordered in slow anger. I gulped.

"...n...no." I stammered, stubbornly.

I heard him exhale heavily. He was very angry. But I just couldn't chicken out. I was angry too!

"I can't wait to teach you a lesson, you idiot. Let's see if you speak again after you discover what's in store for you." was the low threatening reply I received. That was enough to make me begin to sob.

My entire body began to tremble as I imagined horrible things. I'd heard about the horrifying things Anthonio had done to people. The tortures he'd imposed on them. I'd heard he could cut your tongue off, pluck out your eyes or do worse things heartlessly while you were still alive to endure the pain. He had no mercy on men, women, and kids. He was mentally unstable!

'Oh my gosh.'

Thoughts of the horrible articles I'd read about him returned. I needed to apologize! I was a coward who didn't realize who she was truly messing with now.
