Lost but Found

Chapter 8.

Annabelle p.o.v.

Ok, why is this guy giving me a hug.
How does he even know me.
I looked around the room and saw another boy who I assume was a brother to the one hugging me.
He was just looking at us with amusement. When he caught me staring, he quickly turned away and sat back down in the chair but not before I saw tears in his eyes.

"Dylan, you can let go of her now, you are making her uncomfortable" mystery man said.

The Dylan guy then let go of me and backed away a few feet before running back to me and giving me another hug.

What is with this guy and hugs?

"Dylan, I said let go of her" mystery man said again.

When Dylan did not let go of me, mystery man then proceeded to drag the guy off of me.

"Dylan, get a hold of yourself" mystery man said softly.

Dylan nodded and went to take a sit.

I just stood there and stare like an idiot.

"Sit" mystery man said rather harshly.

Wow, what crawled up his ass.

I took a sit beside Dylan guy who was just starting at me.
While the other mystery guy was stealing glances my way and avoiding eye contact.
Did they never teach this people that staring is rude.

"Okay, I've asked you some questions and I won't ask you those again, but they are still more questions I want you to answer" he said in which I nodded.

"Okay, first of all, why do you have those scars" he asked

"I told you before that I was abused" I said calmly.

"When is your birthday" he asked

"I don't know my exact birthday, but the orphanage I was in gave me a birthday, it's November 17, the day I was brought in to the orphanage" I said.

Younger mystery guy who was basically drinking a glass of water did a spit take and Dylan was sweating or was it the water, well I don't care.

"November 17 you say" younger mystery guy asked

"Yeap" I said popping the "p"

"Can I have that bottle of water?" I asked pointing to the bottle of water on the table.
I was really thirsty.

"Yes, u can" Dylan said grabbing the water for me

"Thanks" I replied.

"So, do you have any tattoo" Dylan asked.

I did a spit take and it landed on Dylan's face.
How did they know.
Did the doctor or nurse tell them.
Did they even see it?
I remember putting that fake skin on my back before leaving the house.
Or did the nurse remove it.

Nobody has ever seen that tattoo except for my "parents".
Not even Aiden nor Drake.
I always wear the fake skin wherever I went except when I'm taking a shower.

"Well, do you" mystery man said.

"Well…umm… u see… I don't know what you are talking about" I said rubbing my thumb and pinkie together looking anywhere but at them.

Wow, when did the ceiling become this beautiful, look at that gold.
Oh my God, this rug must cost a fortune.
I'm 100% sure that those stack of pencils cost more than me.
Wow, that writing is magnificent.
Look at the…

"Stop lying" younger mystery guy said.

How does he know I'm lying

"It's showing in your face " he replied.

Did I say that out loud?

"Let's see your back" mystery man said.

"What?, No" I said.
How did they know

Pls floor, don't fail me today, open up and swallow me whole
I present myself to you as a sacrificial lamb, open up, I command you.

"Look, we are not going to force you, just comply" Dylan said softly.

"So what do you expect me to do, just take off my shirt in front of you three" I said.

"No need to do that princessa, I'll just get my laser and use it on the back of your shirt,so we can see what you are hiding there, then you can walk away showing everyone your lasered shirt" he said smirking in return I scowled at him.

There is no escape route
I'll just have to do this.
At least all they will see is the fake skin.
Thank goodness the blouse I was wearing had a zipper at the back cause I don't want to flash this guys over here.

"Fine" I said.

Then I started zipping down my blouse.
Then I stood up and turn my back to them.
The stupid tattoo was on my lower back.
Let's just say I cannot wear a cropped top except I want to flash everyone my tattoo.

"Well, I guess she doesn't have the tattoo" Dylan whispered to whoever.
If that's what he calls a whisper, then he is clearly wrong.
The whole room can hear what it is he was saying.

Just when I was about to zip my blouse.

"Wait" younger mystery guys called.
I turned back to face them to see him walking towards me.

"Turn " he said
"Why" I asked.

"Just do it" he replied.

I was about to protest, but the look on his face made me rethink my decision.

I turned back.

"Well,this skin here looks lighter than the rest" he said.

Then I heard footsteps, I did not need to turn back for me to know that it was the other two.

"That look like a fake skin" Dylan said.

"Let's pull it" mystery man said.

"No" I quickly turned around.

"Why" younger mystery guy said.

What is with this guy and one word answers or questions

" Because umm… I have a very big ugly scar there" I said.

"How did it happen" mystery man asked.

"Well, you see I was burnt with an iron" I said

"Let's see it then" mystery guys said"

"It's ugly and umm…disgusting" I said.

"So?" Younger mystery guy Asked

"So you can't see it" I said.

"We want to see it no matter how ugly it is" Dylan said.

"You don't under…" I said but was cut off by younger mystery guy

"Hold her down" he said.

What, no

"Declan, that's not necessary" mystery guy said.
So that's his name.
Two down, one more.

" She won't comply" he said.

"You have a burn right, as far as I know, if u have a burn, you don't need to cover it up, some pain meds and ointments will do the trick. So open it up, before it got worse or I'll help you take it off"  mystery man said.

When I didn't move an inch, mystery man held me, and Dylan and Declan ran behind me, then they took the false skin off, I heard a gasp, then a thud, then another gasp.
Mystery man them spun me around so he could see, then he gasp as well.

Sice he turned me around, I got a better view of what happened cause I don't know what that thud meant.
So, lo, and behold, Dylan was on the floor, he looked like he umm…fainted?
While Declan was frozen in place
