*FLASHBACK*

The room was dark--despondent of any human life other than the woman locked inside the room.

Feng Mei felt warm as she curled into a ball, her wrists and her ankles wrapped in cable ties. Her lips slightly parted, her eyesight covered with a blindfold. She knew she was there for a long time, but she was unaware of the time as it was always dark and silent.

The room was so silent, a person inside could even hear the water drops coming from the ceiling. Feng Mei could also feel and hear her heart throbbing in her chest.

Feng Mei wondered how long she was here in the room since her kidnap. Deep down, she hoped that one of the people she knew would come to look for her, but alas, there was still no one.

The moment the door creaked open, Feng Mei bit her lip as her body trembled. Her fists tightened, and she huddled in the corner of the room as if to escape from a monster.

”Did you miss me, little kitty?”

Feng Mei cowered in fear as his words echoed in the room. His resounding footsteps stopped in front of her. It made Feng Mei release some of her tears that pooled in her eyes.

'Go away, you psycho... go away!'

Feng Mei begged in her thoughts as if praying to any god that could rescue her right at this moment. In her silence, the man maniacally laughed as he landed a finger on her face, stiffening her whole body.

”Why so silent, little kitty?”

Feng Mei didn't dare to make a sound. She knew that once she does, the psycho would mercilessly hit her. She felt cold sweat trickle down her spine when she felt the man play with the ends of her hair, his breath fanning over her cheek.

”Do you know how long you've been here, little kitty?”

Feng Mei still stayed silent. The man laughed against her ear, Feng Mei jerking her head away as she felt uncomfortable with what he was doing.

”It has been three days, little kitty. Are you hungry? Thirsty? You've grown thinner.”

The woman didn't dare make a move. She knew she was hungry and thirsty, but she knew more than not to trust the man before him. How could she trust the person who kidnapped her?

Whatever he gives her--food or water, she would gladly decline them even though she knew her body is slowly weakening.

”I-I...” she was stammering on her words. ”I wouldn't want to eat or drink anything that came from you,” she said, almost in a whisper, but it was enough for the man to hear.

With that, he chuckled as he got the take out that he got from behind him. He opened it, teasing Feng Mei with the smell of fried chicken from KFC and the sweet scent of the red iced tea.

”Oh? Are you sure?”

Feng Mei had to admit that the scent of the food was inviting because she knew that she didn't eat even a single crumb for three days.

She even forced herself not to drink water. Only when the psycho forced the water down her throat will she only be saved from her dehydration.

”I'm treating you nicely. Why decline my hospitality, hmm?”

Even with the fear Feng Mei had, she had the urge to scoff as she found what he said so stupid. She even had the energy to retort, immediately provoking the psycho.

”Would a victim want anything from his or her kidnapper?”

With the psycho scoffing, he got the drink from the paper bag, opened it, as he aggressively pulled Feng Mei by the hair, making her wince in pain as she felt some of her hair pulled from her scalp.
