Chapter 142 - Living Nightmare (1/2)
I groan in pain as I slowly start waking up. ”Master... are you okay? Please don't leave Bun...” Little Bun sobs next to my ear as his little body curls up against me. I lift a heavy hand and pet him while croaking out ”I'm not dead yet.”
Little Bun jumps up and places his little paws on the side of my face as his little pink tongue licks my cheek in happiness. When my brain finally comes back online, I quickly sit up and gag. I roll over and start dry heaving as I try to throw up that bastard's nasty blood!
But no matter how hard I try, nothing comes up. My stomach is completely empty! I fall back over on my side and place an arm over my eyes as my entire body hurts. ”How long have I been out?” I ask Bun as I try to stop my head from spinning.
What the hell was wrong with me?? ”You've been out for two days Bunny.” a familiar voice says making me freeze. I lift my arm and look over to find a blurry image of Guozhi chained to the wall. ”Guozhi? Wha... what the hell?” I say pushing myself up into a sitting position.
Guozhi gives me a bitter smile as he says ”The crazy bastard's men were attacking a town next to our base and even though I'm not the nicest bastard, I can't ignore women and children being killed and taken. My men and I attacked the crazy bastard's men but they were entirely too powerful... I think I've lost all my men...”
Pain and regret lace his last words making my heart hurt for him. I know all too well how much he thinks of his men as family. I try to shake off the dizzy spell as I frown with confusion. ”But why are you HERE? Not that I'm complaining, but why didn't they kill you?”
The chains holding Guozhi clank against the stone wall as he scrunches up his face saying ”Honestly, I don't know. They said something about being a play toy for the King's new woman.” My face darkens as I look at him. I hope to hell they aren't referring to me but...
I look around and quickly realize that we're in a cell of some kind and it's completely empty. They're probably referring to me... Little Bun curls up in my lap as his little body shivers in fear, instantly breaking my heart. I reach down and cuddle him close while saying ”We're gonna get out of here, okay?”
Little Bun nods his head but doesn't say anything as Guozhi sighs. I struggle to stand and stumble a bit as everything around me continues to spin. I squeeze my eyes shut before slowly walking over to Guozhi. Guozhi watches me with worry as he says ”You don't look too good Bunny. What's wrong? Have you been hurt? Where is Bai Lei?”
I look to him and say ”I don't even know where I am, how would I know where he is?” I come to his side and look at the chains holding him with a frown. I grab the metal cuffs on his wrist and pull. Guozhi watches me with a small smile and says ”I don't think that's gonna work Bunny. Are you this crazy bastard's ”new woman”?”
I snort and say ”Over my dead body! I'd rather hang myself with my own underwear...” Guozhi freezes before throwing his head back in laughter. I pull at the other cuff and look for the lock on it as Guozhi's laughter comes to an end.
He watches me with twinkling eyes as he says ”You know, being your play toy doesn't sound so bad. I don't mind being chained up down here if it's with you. It has to be fate Bunny, think about it.” I look up at him in and give him a weak smile as I say ”Out of all the people they bring back... hah... it's really something else.”
