Night draped itself over the sleek car as Five drove, a steady, relentless force cutting through the dark. You, eighteen and restless, had your legs draped over his, the dim dashboard light casting shadows where his fingers brushed your skin. The air inside was close, charged—a silent struggle between the strict, ordered life you were leaving and the raw, unbounded freedom he was offering. A confident smile touched his lips, utterly dismissive of the fear tightening your chest when he made it clear: he wasn't taking you home. He was taking you away. For good.
