Chapter 13
**
Ernaline was stunned when Kaizen gives her a back hug. That’s not in their scene. It's their fourth day here and this is the last day of the shoot. Fortunately, the two of them had a smooth shot for their music video.
"What do you think you're doing?" she growled in annoyance at the man as he hugged her back. She felt awkward; she didn’t have any other man hugging her other than her Big Brother and her Dad.
"Did you see that guy, standing behind the coconut tree? Do you know him?" He said. Ernaline looked at the place that Kaizen said then she saw a man smoking while looking at them.
"I don't know him," she replied.
"He's right there from the very start,"
"Maybe he's just watching?" she said. Some tourists watch them while shooting.
"CUT" she would have been flattered since she heard Blake's voice but the idiot wouldn't let her go.
"What Kaizen, let me go!" she complained.
Before he releases her he mumbles something to her ear. "Please wait for him, Ernaline. Don't let Kyle snatch your attention to him. Just a little bit longer," the girl frowned.
What does he mean?
"Go back to our team. I'll just talk to that guy. I feel different in his presence." Kaizen said before he pushed her in the direction where the group was then Kaizen continued to the man who had been looking at them. Ernaline just shrugged before walking back to their group.
"You look both hot there earlier. Your hair is long, if Kyle isn't courting you I'll think you and Kaizen are dating," Sav said to her.
"He's just teasing me," she muttered to the woman.
"If Kaizen wasn't childish, I might have flirted with him but I don't want to because that's unlikely to happen, I also don't want to be child-abusive. It's so not me," she stagey said.
Sav is still young. She's 23 actually, but she's also child-minded and they look like Kaizen's thing. The group is packing up but Kaizen isn't coming back yet. She just let it be he is too big to worry about.
Ernaline and Sav boarded the van first followed by the others. They have also fixed the things they used before and they will go straight home. It will also get dark because Kaizen was too slow to pick up at the scene earlier, it took them the night. Ernaline put her bag on her thigh and checked if there was she still left, it looks like there was nothing so she just closed it again.
"Sav, I'll go to the comfort room first!" she said to Saviel.
"You want me to go with you?" Saviel said but she slowly refused.
"No. I'm just there in the public comfort room. I’ll be fast," she didn't wait for what Sav wanted to say and she got out of the car.
Ernaline also did not tell her other colleagues who were busy arranging their things inside the van. She immediately saw a public comfort room so she entered there immediately. There aren't many people because it's not used very much.
Ernaline entered a cubicle and there quietly pee. She finds it creepy; she hears the door creak every time someone enters but she doesn’t mind it.
After urinating, she came out of the cubicle and went to the sink to take a look at herself in the mirror and wash her hands. She also fixed her ponytail because she was disgusted especially in the hot weather.
When Ernaline came out of the comfort room, her vision suddenly darkened. Someone hit her hard object causing her to be unconscious and fall into a dark realm.
***
Three men walk quietly in the dark after they were rained out with a raging bullet in the middle of the road the day before.
"It's your fault, Gun!" Cold blames his colleague. If the man had followed what Dezrail said, they would not be walking now.
"Can you blame me for what I did?" Gun said.
"Stop it both of you. The damage has been done and we can't do anything about it, all we have to do is to look for a shelter for us," said Dezrail who was just walking while his hands are in his pocket.
Even their cellphones cannot be used because they cannot pick up the signal especially they are in a secluded place.
Dezrail separated from his companions and quietly walked through a dark abandoned building.
***
Ernaline could see pure darkness around her when she woke up. Her body was also weakening as she tried to untie her leg and hand. She could also feel the dirt on her body from lying on the floor.
Ernaline tried to sit up but she failed due to the tightness of the restraints on her body and her arm was also detached from lying down. The last thing she remembered was her coming out from the comfort room when was pee and then someone hit her from behind. The woman felt nervous because she could not see even the slightest light around and she did not know how many hours or days she had been in that place.
She was trying to make noise but she failed.
She was shaken when she feels a warm hand untying her feet and hands. She didn’t even notice that a person was roaming around at this abandoned place.
"Who are you?" She asks with a low voice after he releases her.
"A person you don’t want to know," he said using a deep cold voice.
Ernaline was being carried by a stranger - a bridal carry.
"You're not safe here. I'll bring you to the safest place." The man didn't give her a chance to see his face because of the darkness from this abandoned place. when they reached the road, the man hit Ernaline's neck causing her to fall into darkness again.
"I’m sorry but this is all I can do,"
