Can I Kill You?
Part 19 - Abduction

The man did not blink at all looking at me. His emerald eyes lit up like diamonds, ready to swallow me round. I, with nil preparation, am ready to pull back the open door.

"Oh, what are you doing, young lady?" The door opened again, pulling me in an unreasonable force. It must be magic.

"You won't go back to closing this door, not after this" he said with a hiss, much like a snake.

My face turned as blue as the sea. Intruders? Why did you come here? Where's the other waiter? "Who are you? What do you want to come here?"

Before everything went dark, a giant chunk seemed to hit the back of my head. Obviously my head was plunged down, making things even more blurry. In between the ringing of the ears, I heard some people talking.

For a few seconds my lips swore. "Donuts, what do you mean..." My voice was slowly cut off, the throbbing in my head was getting more and more piercing.

One of the men approached from behind, apparently the one who hit me. I couldn't see his stature, but his words were enough to make me think he was an irritating figure. "Is this really Barbie? He doesn't even look strong at all..."

Bizarrely. Is it possible that these people were from the party venue yesterday? It felt like before coming here, no one knew me at all.

"Grey eyes and oak-tree hair, obviously this was Barbie yesterday. Where are there other humans living in a castle like this?"

"Well, you were right on that part, but..."

My breath is getting heavy. Then in the end, everything turned into a jet of blackish paint.

...----------------...

I woke up on a shaking ground. The sound of the waves sweeping my ears, complete with water coming off to the left cheek. When I was about to wipe the trash, I realized my hands could not move, because both of my arms were tied to the rope.

"Oh, looks like he's awake!"

In front of me, the two figures with the same greenish eyes as the previous man looked at me happily, like a child looking at a Christmas present. I tried to speak, but my mouth couldn't move as usual.

"Don't talk first, if you force it, you'll get hurt yourself, miss."

And sure enough, my ears are ringing every time I try to speak. It felt like something sucked my voice down to the deepest abyss.

I looked around. There is hardly any light here. The room I occupied was too dark but failed to be quiet thanks to the sound of the medicine roaring. I'm guessing this must be this ship's warehouse even though I can't see the cargo present thanks to the absence of moonlight.

"You look as if you're asking, 'why did we bring you here', huh?" the redhead lowered his body. Her mane dangled to her shoulders, framing her acne-spotted face. It's very different from the vampires I saw in the kingdom.

I had hoped for a little, but her cleverness made that wish turn. "Well, you don't need to know. I'm only interested in your fighting skills." This time he got back up, leaving me drooping on the floor of the boat. "Just wait till the mainland, you must be happy to see you!"

I don't give a shit. I kept whining until my voice came back even if the result was nil. My ears were buzzing again until it made me squint. Is this magic again? I hate magic tricks like this, it's been driving me almost crazy too often.

"Huweek, her gaze was so serem. Why would she be the princess of Ruby Kingdom, anyway?"

I looked away, stopped looking at the two of them.

"Shut your mouth, Deh, Elfa. You never know what they can do." said the first man, thinking of myself as having an ace to kill them all, when in fact. Her steps ended the one-way conversation, leaving me in the silence and musty smell of the ship.

I resigned, had to surrender. This place is too far from my knowledge.

...----------------...

Before arriving at a pier, the fragile-looking wooden door herded an eye-piercing light. I had time to tiptoe, and the first man reappeared in front of me.

The man did not attack or hurt me, instead his bulging hand full of muscles carried a large barrel. My forehead frowned in silence.

"Come in" the emerald's eye commands while using his index finger. It's too ridiculous, obviously I'm having a hard time getting in with my legs and hands tied.

"Boss, stupid really, really," said the haircut, his head emerging from behind the boss' body. His forehead was covered in sweat, as much as I could want to get away from him. "Where could he possibly enter by himself then?"

Oh, no, no... I know what's going to happen.

I started to scream again, and the humming sound in my head crept back up. Right now, my screeches were nothing more than vague moaning sounds. Elfa patted her forehead, knowing this would happen. "I told you before not to talk too much!"

It's really great that my mouth didn't open even though it was kicked. I didn't even throw up or anything, but the pain was overwhelming, like it was being hit. Without the excessive feeling and irritated face that frightened anyone, his thin hand successfully carried me to his shoulder and threw my entire body into the barrel. The smell of wine slipped into my nose.

"Well, this is fine" said Elfa lightly. The boss let out a long sigh, making Elfa ask again. "What's up, boss?"

"You're too rude, you know?" I changed my mind thinking that the boss was a good person, but not after the next speech. "Next time, don't hurt his body. It should be the perfect gift."

Don't hurt his body. Her sister's. I'm a gift to her brother, and does she think I approve of it? Definitely not! I'm sick enough of being in Emerald and Ruby's castle, now I have to move to an even more gruesome prison? It won't.

Either way, I need to get out of here, but now that my body is completely immobile, how can I attack and return to Ruby's palace?

Plus, I don't know this area either. No. gabe. I don't even know if vampires have coastal areas like this. Damnit. My knowledge of this area is completely muddled.

"Already, boss. How else would you like? No problem, really. Anyway I've seen at the party yesterday, this kid didn't even die after Georgia's been hurting him so many times."

The boss was apparently still not satisfied and slammed back the door of the ship. I could hear Elfa snorting and making fun of the boss. I keep flinching. I pulled my words earlier, it seems like Ruby castle is better than this place.
