14 Mind reveals (1/2)

-Hello, Seb?

-Heyya!! Seb's answering machine speaking. Seb is unavailable at the moment. Please leave a message after the beep. Seb will catch up...!!

Erica threw her phone on the bed.

This time she was certain that something was definitely wrong.

No matter how annoying Seb is, she'll never be this ignorant or careless.

Erica vowed that if Seb doesn't call her by morning, she's gonna go and report to the police.

It's the only way left open now.

Morning 7:15

Seb was already awake, but didn't leave the bed. Lucifer was nowhere to be seen when her eyes opened. She didn't try to look around for him too. The better when she's alone. She didn't want him anywhere near her.

But her wishes revolted. Lucifer entered the exact moment. He was dressed in a casual shirt and sweatshirt, as if he was going out. Was he leaving?

He didn't look at Seb. He walked up to his table and grabbed something. Seb was staring at the ceiling.

”Get up, will you?”, Lucifer brought back Seb to her senses. It sounded like a rude demand.

”I don't have much time to waste on you!”, he shot with the same venom in his voice,”Get off the bed!!!”.

Seb flinched by the manners he used. What happened to the person who was acting all sensitive a while ago? Is he really double-faced? Why is he behaving like before? It's not like Seb expected him to be all caring, but she at least thought that he'd be little sensitive. May be it was too much to ask for.

Lucifer suddenly turned his face. Seb was taking time.”Out!! Now!!”, he snapped.

Having taken the medicines from last night, Seb was little back in shape. But wasn't recovered fully. She could slid off the blanket of herself and sit on the bed slowly. As she let her feet down, she looked around for something.

Lucifer was getting impatient with her taking so long. ”Under the bed!”, came his sharp clue.

It was Seb's shoes. Also in one piece. Without hesitating, she put them on. Her headache and fever still persisted, but she managed somehow.

Suddenly something leaped on Seb's lap, startling her. It was a sweater.

”Put that on!!”, came the order from Lucifer,”It's freezing”.

Seb didn't argue and obeyed. It was indeed very chilly.

”Done? Let's go then”, a patience-less Lucifer approached the door.

”Are we going somewhere?”, Seb asked trying to be little bold, trying not to sound revolting.

Lucifer paused on his steps and said without turning back,”I'll just leave you where you saw me. Get home by yourself.....or wherever you wanna go!!!”.

The unexpected words stunned Seb. He was really letting her go??? Or was it a trap? But it was sounding too rude to be false. Seb had to take her risk if he had indeed changed his mind. If he wasn't using the words so recklessly then she must ask him. Her eyes twinkled,”You're...letting me go?”

”I”m warning you!!!...If you...”, Lucifer burst out with a sudden snarl at Seb's polite question,”....spill this, it'll not take me a moment to shatter your bones and abandon you in some lane”, Saying that he threw a black cloth a Seb.

”Put that on!”, he barked,”I don't want to come across you ever again. You must never know the route to this place”. it was a blindfold.

Seb hesitated,”Is it really necessary?...I told you I...”

Before she completed, Lucifer charged at her with a demonic temper,”Listen punk!!!”, he said in a growling tone,”Be thankful that I'm letting you go at such a huge risk. No...further....argument and stop wasting my time. Put that on!!!”.

Seb didn't rebel anymore. She was afraid that she might lose her chance of freedom if she defied him. She put on the blindfold.

”How am I suppose to move but?”, she asked

”I'll guide you”, Lucifer replied.

”No!!!”, Seb suddenly blurted. Her voice was sharp. It was clear that she can't tolerate his touch. Lucifer flinched as if he was stung by bee. But he didn't try to get angry and instead ran down to a compromise for her sake.

”Then you can hold my sleeve”, he suggested,”Will that be okay?”. His voice was cold but his words were soft.

Seb had no other choice or question left on that proposal. She had to. She raised her hand in the air searching for Lucifer's acket sleeve in the air.
