ENDS

Third person p. o. v.

She was directed towards a jeep with masked men guiding herExclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Or making sure she doesn’t run away, she wasn’t quite sure what their aim of surrounding her was but she was well aware they didn’t want her leaving their sight.

The windows of the vehicle were tinted to the point that its exterior made perfect mirrors if anyone ever needed one out of home.

And that made her to worry because no one would be able to see her if she was being stabbed in the vehicle.

“I’m not getting in there if that’s what you’re thinking” she rattled and refused to move further.

“He won’t harm you if that’s what you’re worried about” one of the tens of men around her said and the silence that followed seemed like it was undebated

But it wasn’t enough reason for her to believe them.

“Why should I trust you?” she asked and looked at each of them to know if they would actually grant her question an answer.

“If we wanted to kill you we would have done that while you were blindfolded” the same guy who responded before said again and she saw a point in his explanation.

“He wants you alive and healthy so without delay, go in… he’s waiting” another person added but she couldn’t figure out who it was that spoke amongst them.

Grudgingly, she listened but not like she was willing to.

She took a deep breath and placed a hand on her erratically beating heart, mentally preparing herself for whatever it is she would be faced with.

Not giving her enough time, one of the escorts opened the door widely and turned to her indicating it was time for her to get inside.

She wanted to cuss at him for rushing her mental preparation but the deed was done anyway, slowly she counted her steps till she stood directly in front of the open door and turned to see a man with white hairs and a huge build.

And that was all she saw because he was also masked.

“If you are going to kill me just say it so I can say my last prayers.” Meredith said as she could no longer hide the fear creeping underneath her skin with a lot of red signals tingling.

The man in the car laughed so hard at her statement that he had to take a while to clear up his throat afterward and collect a bottle of water from the driver of the jeep in front.

“You grew with wits I see” he said and even without seeing his face she could hear the smile in his words.

‘good to know he finds this amusing’ she thought sarcastically to herself.

“Come in Sa’adia, daddy is not going to hurt you.” The man continued and his statement reminded her that she was told her father was here to get her.

But this man in front of her looked a lot bigger than she had imagined her father to be even after all these years.

“My name isn’t Sasuke or whatever it is you just said” she retorted and had the man laughing again

But only briefly this time.

“I’m sorry, come in Meredith.” He corrected himself.

“How do you know my name?”

“If you get in I promise to answer any question you ask”

She had already delayed long enough and she knew, finally… she got into the car and shut the door behind her.
