Ana Louella
"Dave, this isn't a house. I thought we're going to his house. Why did you bring me here?!" I snapped at Dave as soon as I saw where we are heading to and I saw his cheeks reddened.
"I- I'm sorry, I lied but it's not what you're thi-" I cut him off.
This is not right! I trusted him. How could he lie to me?!
"Dave, this is a freaking hotel! Do you expect me to go in there?! Well, I won't! I won't go in there!" I shouted and he scratched his head before answering.
"That's the reason why I lied to you. You will never come with me if I told you our destination in the first place. But it's really not what you're-" I cut him off again.
He deceived me and it is not freaking right! If I only knew where he would take me, then I would not have come in the first place.
"Was that the only lie you told me or were you also lying about having a family?!" I asked and he shook his head instantly.
"That was the only lie I have ever said to you." He answered as he looked into my eyes.
"Do you promise?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Yeah." He said as he nodded.
Why do I easily trust people?! I am so stupid!
"But I won't still go in there! He- he might- he might do something to me." I stammered as I crossed my arms in front of my chest.
No! I will not go in there! He might do something bad to me and I am not yet ready for that. I am still young and I want to give it to the man whom I truly love. That thing should be done after marriage and I should remain chaste until I get married. No! I will not certainly give it to a devil!
'Will you stop overthinking Louella?!' I chided internally.
Dave looked at me goofily as he chuckled at my foolishness.
"It's really not what you're thinking miss. Actually, a surprise is waiting for you in there. He planned everything and he's now waiting for you. My master won't take advantage of you and I'm certain of that." He answered and I looked at him suspiciously.
What kind of surprise is he planning to give me? Another prank?! Will he ever get tired of doing that? He is just wasting his time on me. He should have just studied his lessons or done something productive. Heck, he should have just spent his time with his family or friends. He is just so immature. When will he ever grow up?
"No! You can't make me go in there! Just tell him to meet me here!" I remarked and he chuckled.
"Can't he just meet me here?" I asked and Dave shook his head.
"There's clearly nothing to worry about miss. Let's go." He replied and I shook my head.
"No! He might... Well, he might really-" Dave cut me off.
"Don't worry, I'll stay behind you." He said reassuringly.
"Dave, if something bad will happen to me, I will never forgive either of you." I warned and he just nodded as I looked at him skeptically.
"I am certainly not joking Dave." I said as I gave him a serious look.
"I am not joking, I will never forgive either of you." I repeated and he chuckled before answering.
"Aye, aye, miss." He said as he gave me a salute.
"Fine." I grumbled.
"Shall we go now, miss?" He asked and I just nodded.
"Follow me." He instructed.
I let out a sigh and then I trailed behind him unsure of what would happen next.
...
Jackson Drake
A few minutes later, the door flew open and there, I finally saw the annoying witch.
At last, the long wait is over.
"I'm glad you came." I said and then I smiled at her slyly.
"Can you return my backpack now?" She asked as she looked into my eyes.
"That thing can wait. Come on, step inside and enjoy your party." I said and then I smirked at her.
"Party- for me?" She asked confusedly as she roamed her eyes around the suite.
"Yeah. I heard that you haven't celebrated any of your birthdays since you were five. Am I right?" I asked and she just frowned at me.
"I've came up with an idea and that is to give you a birthday party and let you experience to have one. Isn't that a bright idea?" I stated and she just gave me a nervous glance.
Her eyes widened in surprise as beads of sweat start to form on her forehead. I can sense that she is starting to get nervous and it is actually a good thing. Well, she should be nervous.
"I want to take you back to your childhood so you can experience the joy of having a birthday party. You haven't experienced one for so long so, I'm hoping that you'll enjoy this one." I added and then I smiled at her cunningly.
"Will you stop talking nonsense Drake?! Just return my backpack so I can already leave." She replied as she made a grimace.
This time, she can no longer look at my eyes directly more so, hold her stare.
"Come on, let's have fun first! I've prepared this party for you. Come, and join me here so you can fully see my surprise for you." I stated and she rolled her eyes at me.
"I- I don't have time for this Drake. Just give it back to me now." She replied withouth looking at me.
"Come on, I've spent so much effort on this one. Don't you even want to taste your birthday cake?" I asked as I took a step forward and she immediately took a step back.
"Well, you might also want to meet the performers.They look so funny and adorable at the same time. You will surely like them."
Every time I take a step towards her, she will immediately take a step back and I find it so amusing. Although I can't see her face properly, I bet, she is terrified by now.
"You might as well want to hear some jokes or perhaps, watch some magic. How about that Louella?" I asked as I stopped approximately one meter away from her.
"Come on, we will miss the performance." I said and then she raised her head and frowned at me.
Damn this woman! Why isn't she talking! Is she dumb?!
"Hey, why aren't you answering? Did you leave your tongue at home?" I asked and she just rolled her eyes at me.
I admit, I am starting to lose my patience because this woman is making me irritable. Why isn't she talking?!
I looked at her goofily and then I snapped my fingers before speaking.
"How about we watch their show together? Isn't that a great idea?"
"Or would you rather watch it all by yourself-" She cut me off.
"Shut up!" She snapped.
Finally, she is no longer dumb.
"I- I'll go- I'll go ahead now. I don't- I don't need my back- backpack anymore. It's you- yours, burn it- throw it away, I don't care." She stammered as she turned her back on me.
"Come on, you haven't seen the performance yet. It's the best and you shouldn't miss that one." I said as I gave her a sly smile.
"Hey! Won't you even thank me for this one?"
"I've spent so much effort on this one." I added.
"Shut up Drake! No one asked you to do this!" She snapped and then she bowed her head.
"Boo!" I yawped and she was startled a bit.
She looked at me feebly and her reaction was the funniest thing that I have ever seen.
Louella is just rooted on her place and she is barely moving. She is so pale and it looks like she is about to pass out. Fear is manifested on her face and her forehead glistened with beads of sweat while she is breathing heavily. Her eyes widened in fear as if the god of death is coming to get her soul. This time, beads of sweat began to stream down her face and this sight of her amused me so damn much.
"Master, I think we should-" It was Dave and I immediately cut him off.
"Shut up Dave! I'm not asking for your opinion!" I snarled at him and he just bowed his head.
"Take her inside, now!" I commanded and Dave looked at me confusedly.
"But master-" I cut Dave off with a glare and he was not able to finish his sentence.
"Dave, are you deaf? I said, take her inside now!" I growled and Dave hurriedly held her arms.
"Let's go miss." He said to her.
"No! No! Dave, please don't. I'm begging you Dave, please, don't." She whimpered as she tried to free herself from Dave's hold.
"I am so sorry miss." Dave said softly to her.
Dave let go of her arms and then Louella faced me with an exceptional look and it quite troubled me.
