Why y*u keep looking at me in that way?

Maia’s point of view:

“The silence was over now when I began to hear from their mouth strange sound of squeak. It became louder and louder with every second. I began to scream too, but my voice was without any sound... Soon I began to squeak the same as they were with that abnormal sound. ,,

"-Aaaaagh, aaaaaa,aaaaaaa, aaa" I screamed from panic which I felt but still couldn’t move, I tried to move with all my strength, but my legs were like it would be buried in the ground. Soon my eyes opened even if they were so heavy and I understood that it was a nightmare. Somebody was keeping me, but my view was still blurred.

"-If she won't stop I will break her fucking legs" Huge men with black masks were holding my legs. He is so big, so scary, his hands are covered by black gloves, I don’t see his face and it scares me even more. But I never saw so huge men in my life, he was two times bigger than Kai. I can’t stop crying and my all body is shivering from my nightmare or maybe because of him.  He is dressed all in black. 

My hands are also locked, by another man with a mask, but when my head turns to him I can see his grey eyes, which the dark can’t hold them. It’s Kai. I don’t need to see his face, I already know that he is him. Those eyes don’t have any men in this world, as his. They are glowing with its white lightning in the dark. I tried to push my legs and body from that huge, scary man, and with my one hand, I took Kai’s and hugged with it myself, even if he was holding my hands too tight I still managed to free myself and take his.

I cried so hard that began to sob. It was even hard to breathe because my lungs were occupied by the chaotic breathing of crying. Huge men’s eyes burned with a grudge, I knew that he was annoyed by my crying but the more I tried to calm myself, the more tears were running from me. He didn't need to say anything from his eyes I already was scared. But soon in my view from the darkness came another man. He had black eyes, or maybe the dark made it look so. He moved very strangely, slowly, and a little bit bent over.

He was skinny, and he moved so easily like he would be a dancer or a snake. I couldn't take my eyes from him the same as he from me. He tilted his head to one side as he would be so interested in me, he looked like he was playing some crossword puzzle. His black eyes were hypnotizing and I didn't notice as I stopped crying, just some sob with the shaking of my lungs still was kicking in my body, but tears were gone now. I didn't saw his face. They were all with these black masks, why they are with masks, which only showed their eyes and lips?

My hands tightened Kai's arm's as he was breathing so hard in my ear, but his breathing makes me feel safer. I need him. I need that he would hold me tighter and I made him do that way by pushing myself into him.

A strange man with black eyes slowly took the feather from his shirt. He brushed the feather with his finger and then gave it to me. Somehow it made me feel calmer, I just forgot about my nightmare, and the only thing I wanted now, was to look at what he will do.

"-What that freak is doing?" the man as huge as a mountain rolled his eyes when he whispered to Kai. But my husband was staring at strange men in silence. His body tensed as it would harm me with its kindness.

All the time I wanted just to look into his strange dark eyes, I don't know in what way he made me feel better, but his existence, and how he brushed the feather, how he looked at it with his lowered head to one side as he would be a little boy playing with his toy, those movements were so interesting to me, like I would watch a mystery movie about him.

Then his gaze from feather turned to my eyes, all about him made me feel calmer, safer. My breathing and beating of my heart came to normal again when I took the feather in my hands and sheltered it to my chest. As it would save me from my nightmares...

"-Wait where is Gaius?" With gritted teeth, Kai whispered. And his words bring me to reality. He stood up and took my hand aggressively.

"-Argh " My leg was hurting but it already was bandaged. Did Kai take care of my leg? But why he acts so strangely? So brutally... He had his gun by his one side, knife in his boot,black mask on his face, black clothes covered his muscular body. Am I still dreaming?

I was in the basement and dressed in huge pants with grey T-shirts which also wasn't my size, pants keep fell from me and with one hand I tried to keep them on me, while another was pressed by Kai. This place looked like jail, but much worse. There were just cemented, dark walls without any window, only one lamp was moving from one side to another. It made a little light there, and then Kai pushed me by the table, which was covered with old blood which was dried out, my body froze when I saw where he leads me. His hand holds my wrist too tight. It hurts. But I'm not complaining my mouth is shut down and my eyes are wide on him. 

On the table were belts, he took my hands on that dirty table and locked them with those belts which were fitted on it. I tried to look at his cold eyes with a begging gaze, what he is doing but it looked like he doesn't know me. He is not looking at me while he is locking those belts. He checked are they holding me tight and turned away. He even didn't care that I'm so in fear, that I'm afraid to even ask what he is doing. There was no chair only one table. It was so uncomfortable to stand and my legs soon became tired. I began to breathe hard.

My hands were keeping the feather as it would save my life. I crushed it in my hand as my only weapon from fear, while all these men in the masks were holding knives, guns, and things which I didn't understand why they have those. But I didn't want to find out either. Kai stands with one leg leaned against the wall in the corner, while the last men from four-man, with blue eyes, came to me, he had a huge smile on his face. And his body was muscular and tall, but not as big as that monster by Kai. and not skinny as the men who gave me a feather. They all looked the same with a gaze which I scared so much.

"- Put your fingers straight" Men ordered me, while his body bent over my shoulder. he pressed himself to my back and with palm smashed into a table I shivered from his movement. But I still kept my feather into a fist. I looked around for searching the men who gave me the feather but didn't see him anymore. Where's gone he? Just a second ago, he was there.  It looked like he disappeared in the dark, as a shadow disappears without light, without any sound.

The men with blue eyes took his knife and brushed it through my hand and stopped by my nails.

"-I said put your fingers straight!" His husky voice made my all body tense from fear then he began to peel a nail with a knife. 

"-Aaaa!"I began to scream with tears in my eyes. Then I looked at Kai, he didn't move, didn't said anything just watched me. His cold gaze never left me. His body was all tensed and even in the dark, I could feel his confused eyes. Why is he doing this? Why is he letting? The pain went even to my foot. it seemed that the knife only touched my finger under nail but the pain was worse, then my injured leg from the bullet. The big man by my side was with a huge smile on his face. Like he would enjoy my pain and their torturing.

- "I will ask and you will answer me, now you understand that your words can pay you a lot...do you?" A big man with the mask whispered into my year with a husky, but a scary voice. He almost growled at me. My gaze never let Kai, only my breath became hard, it was chaotic as I wouldn't breathe for a long time and my lungs would catch the air.

Kai moved to another side my eyes followed him. I didn't expect as that huge muscular man took the knife from the men who laid a knife under my finger and with a sudden movement he stabbed with a knife my hand I screamed while he shouted on me.  

-"It was said you to keep all your fingers straight!" Now he screamed to my ear, with gritted teeth. He pulled off the knife.

"-Kai!" I screamed with all my lungs his name, from tears I almost couldn't see his face or maybe my eyes showed the darkness. It seemed I will faint soon. My healthy hand lost the feather, the only thing which comforted me. Which kept me be brave. Which, I didn't want to lose, but I let go of it. The pain wasn't very strong but my hands began to tremble, I couldn't hold them straight. My eyes closed from fear but at the same second, it opened again, from silence in the room. all men looked at Kai with confused and wide eyes. Then they turned again to me.

"Why are you doing this to me?! " I cried with anger and begging at him. Then he finally came closer to me. His steps were slow, he took his time, and it scared me, even more, because I was clueless about what he is thinking. Soon I began to feel pain in my arm, maybe I didn't felt the pain in the beginning because of shock. His gaze never left mine and his body lowered to that table of another side while he put his two hands on it, with anger. 

-"Why are you keep looking at me in that way? Who are you? Give your name, surname who sent you, and maybe I will have mercy on your miserable life." His angry voice gave me goosebumps.

-"I'm Maia Wingsman your fucking ex-wife you psych!" I shouted at him with my tears in my eyes.
