"According to Greek mythology, she was given a box that she was told not to open. When she did, all manner of evils escaped unto the world. A Pandora's box is anything that, upon investigation, leads to extensive and unexpected troubles"

"You lied to me" Jongin said, his voice dripping with anger. He crouched down, one hand touching the ground to steady himself. His eyes, dark and guarded, watched her menacingly.

She trembled, both from fear and the bitter cold in the small and damp room. Her lips were dry and she could taste the blood in . The copper taste made her stomach churn although it could also have a lot to do with the fact that she hadn't eaten in a while. She raised her eyes to meet his and tried to stop herself from being afraid. It was useless.

"You're a criminal, shouldn't you be used to lies?" She stated and watched with satisfaction as his jaw clenched.

"Do you think it's in your best interest to piss me off?" He snapped, his hand shooting out to grip her chin roughly.

"Does it matter? You'll do what you want anyways. I was never anything more than a substitute for your precious Ara anyways" She said firmly, sounding a lot braver than she felt.

He looked down for a second and she dug her fingers into her palms. Her eyes held only anger when he looked back at her. She had been an idiot all along to have believed that he held any sort of consideration for her at all.

"You were never her substitute.  You could never mean that much to me" He lied.

She froze completely, his words as effective as a blade.

"You're going to regret this. They're going to come for me and when they do, he'll kill you before I have the chance to throw you in prison" She hissed.

He smiled coldly.

"It's a pity, you were fun" He murmured, leaning forwards and pressing his lips to hers briefly.

She didn't fight him. She didn't have the strength.

He had her right where he wanted and they both knew that. He stood up from the ground where she sat and gave her one last look before dusting off his pants and turning to walk away. She waited until she heard the lock on the door click into place before letting her strength give out and collapsing back onto the hard ground. Darkness played on the edges of her vision and she wondered if she would get out of this alive. She had known from the beginning though, that she had been playing a dangerous game.
