Chapter-5

I screamed.

The voice came just from behind me. I turned around to face...

Nothing.

My pulses roared and confusion flashed through me.

There was no one. But I could swear I heard the voice. I looked around cautiously, to say if there was anyone, but no, there was no one. No one.

My heart skipped a beat when out of nowhere the lamp shattered into pieces. The room was engulfed by darkness again. But the thing that startled me was that the lamp shattered into pieces.

Itself.

The room was dark, pitch black. I couldn't say a thing, not even my hands. I was scared, beyond scared. I stretched out both my hands hoping to feel something and at the same time, I don't want anything to be there. And there wasn't.

Just pure darkness.

I was shaking. Terrified. By this time I was wondering if the voice was real or I was just imagining it. I took a few cautious steps forward.

As dreadfully long seconds passed by, I was igniting the fear inside me. The room was getting colder second by second.

The blood pounded in my ears. My heart thudded in my chest. My hands shook as my vision disfigured as if I was seeing through a fisheye lens. I had to get away. I was not staying here any longer.

With that sudden thought in my head, I turned around and started moving towards what I presumed was the direction of the door. Adrenaline rushed through my veins. I strode towards the door. As I thought I was near it, a deep laugh stopped me.

I was most definitely not alone. Someone was here. I froze, all the air inside my lungs trapped.

"You are going the wrong way," a cynical voice with a hint of coldness and intimidation, echoed around the room. I gulped.

I didn't stop.

I suddenly didn't care. I just wanted to get out of this horrifying room and never get in. I kept moving forward when all of sudden I hit something hard.

A wall.

I turned around to move in another direction when out of nowhere the sound of glass hitting the ground echoed around the room. I jumped startled as I looked in the direction of the voice and yelped in fear. I couldn't say anything but the only thing overcoming this pure darkness was...

Those red eyes. I could feel eyes on me.

I stood there frozen, didn't know what to do. I was a shaking mess. I could feel beads of sweat on my forehead. I could see those eyes getting closer. The closeness and proximity I had with those eyes seemed to make my feet back away in fear.

Then all of sudden the eyes disappeared. I was just shocked. Only the sound of my heavy breathing could be heard. I took a careful one step back.

"You smell divine," I screamed when an arm get smacked around my waist and I got slammed against a hard chest.

"Let me go! Please!" I screamed but only resulted in him pulling me more closely. I thrashed in his hold but he didn't seem to care.

"And why would I do that?" He whispered in my ear. The satiric ness was evident. I felt his breath near my ear and it took everything in me to not die from a heart attack. I was terrified and panicked and all I wanted was this nightmare to end. I didn't know if should feel perplexed and horrified at the same time.

He leaned closer to my face and inhaled deeply. I just stood there, eyes panic-stricken.

"W-who are y-you?" That's when I realized how scared I was. My voice was shaking and barely audible but I guessed he heard it.

He chuckled behind me. I tried moving away but all went in vain. I jumped when he flicked his tongue on my ear before biting it in the process.

"Curious, are we?" He teased and I wanted to die of fear.

He harshly turned me around so that we were chest to chest. He was taller and more muscular than me. I could feel his muscles straining against my body. I couldn't see his face due to darkness but I could see his eyes. They were not red anymore but still, they looked scary yet unique at the same time. The arctic color of his eyes made me lost in them for a moment and all of sudden a question knocked on my mind.

How could he change his eye colour?

"W-what are y-you?" I said agape. Afraid of his answer, I tried not to tremble.

He chuckled darkly and leaned again so that his lips were just a few inches away from me, almost brushing against mine and it felt like he was caressing mine with his.

"I'm not human if that's what you're asking." He whispered dangerously close to my mouth as he stared down at me with a devilish smirk on his face.

And ladies and gentlemen, that was when time stopped. Everything became blurred and hazardous.

Panic overtook me.

I was not myself anymore.

Oh my god! He is not human.

My mind repeated his words again and again like it was some discovery.

He was not human.

My eyes rolled back. And this time I let myself engulfed by darkness.

The last thing I remembered was cerulean arctic blue eyes staring down at me. At that time darkness seemed my safest place, and this darkness was terrific yet peaceful. **** I woke up, Again.

Feeling tired, drained, and terrified.

But above them all, I was feeling angry. I was angry at myself for trusting unworthy people. I didn't realize that the people I regarded as loved ones were werewolves disguised in sheep's clothing and I trusted them. And thinking about all that brought warm tears as they started flowing through my eyes. I was trapped here, for how long? I didn't know.

I didn't remember anything before fainting. It was like the hard I tried, the harder it was getting. The last and only thing I remembered was two strong arms wrapping around me.

I didn't remember how many times did I fainted since I had been here. I didn't even know what day was this. And I wanted to go out but the room was locked. My body was not in the best condition.

And…

I was hungry.

I was starting to hate the dress I was wearing since I didn't know hong long. I wanted to get out of these stinky clothes now. I smelled like rotten tomatoes. My hairs were a mess. And life was also a mess.

And the most important thing...

I still didn't know why was I there.

I wiped away my tears and pushed the sheets away.

I walked around the room looking through things. These four walls were making my mind restless. A sharp scent of lavenders overpowered my surroundings. I looked around and saw the structure of the room. Four huge pillows, covered with plain white and red velvet cases burst out from the light white walls behind them. Above the bulky bed, there was a huge painting of wolves.

Strange.

There were antiques, sculptures, paintings decorated here and there. And huge windows were covered with thick long curtains. I stood near the window and removed the curtains, making the room fill with bright rays of the sun. I closed my eyes instinctively due to the sudden bright light and blinked a few times to adjust myself.

Windows were closed and by the way, there were bolts, I was sure that they were sealed from outside. But I could see the beautiful view from here. This place was surrounded by trees, canopies, and I assumed that this place was somewhere near or surrounded by forest. Large walls, covered with metallic wires were surrounding the perimeters.

There was a garden right below my window, spread in a large fraction of area, with a beautiful fountain made up of marble in the middle. The rays of the sun were reflecting on marble making it look like a diamond and the water was looking pure. There were numerous flowers with different colors. The view was simply beautiful.

Beautiful. A small smile made the way on my lips. At least there was one heartwarming thing here.

I was so engrossed in the scenery that I didn't even realize that someone had already entered the room.

"Sarah."

I gritted when I heard someone calling me. I didn't want to hear his voice not now when I was admiring something much more calming and soothing than him.

I didn't bother to turn back instead I completely ignored his existence. I didn't want to see his awful betraying ass after what he did to me. If he thought that I would forgive him then he had another thing coming his way.

"Sarah." He called again. But I ignored him again.

I heard him sighing. I knew he was getting frustrated. But I didn't give a damn about him.

"Sarah!" he growled.

"What?" I turned around swiftly and gave him my coldest glare.

"Get dressed and come with me," he said clenching his fists.

"And why would I listen to you?" I folded my arms across my chest and leaned back on the window. His jaw twitched as he took deep breaths. If he thought that he could make me do anything, then he was oh so very wrong.

"Don't you want to know why you are here?" he said after moments.

I clenched my teeth.

"Okay," I said and without any word, he exited the room after locking it. I looked towards the bed when I saw a few clothes laying on it. I picked them up saw a fresh set of panties and a bra with a summer dress.

I didn't want to obey his order but I was feeling nasty in this dress, so I decided to go with the flow.

I made my way towards the bathroom and stripped from my red dress. I got in the shower. I took my time washing my body. It had been a whole damn day since I cleaned myself. I comfortably stood under the showerhead and let the water wash away my tears and stress.

When I walked out, I dried myself with a towel and wore my clothes. I dried my hair with a towel and let them down. They were long so it would take time for them to get dry.

I exited the bathroom and stood near the window. The door was locked as usual. I stared at those beautiful flowers. At least they were the ones keeping me sane for now. The door opened and walked in the maid.

"Come with me, My Lady." She said bowing her head down. My Lady?

I nodded. If I want to get out of here then I have to know this place.

She walked out with me following her. I looked around to see if I could use anything to my advantage but no! there was nothing.

This place was beyond beautiful with beautiful paintings, decorations, flowers. It looks like I was in some type of castle. We went down the stairs, then took a left and then a right.

I looked at the huge dining room in front of me in awe. It looked so...

Royal?

Two huge chandeliers were hanging on the ceiling just above the huge dining table. There were sitting arrangements for at least more than twenty people. The walls of the dining room were black with a tint of Greg here and there. There was a huge window just opposite to dining table, emitting light in the room. There were few lamps, flower pots with white-colored flowers. Everything was just so lethal and beautiful.

"You are in the way, love". A voice spoke behind me and I jumped started.

I knew that voice. Why did it feel like I had heard it before?

'I'm not human if that's what you're asking,'

All the memories from yesterday came crashing down like a movie. I suddenly remembered everything. His red eyes, his voice.

I gulped without looking back. I didn't know what to do. I stood there frozen like I didn't know how to walk. It was the same man. Now I remembered everything, I went somewhere with Falcon, he left me there, a red-eyed man, shattering of the lamp, me freezing in one point, cold and darkroom. A shiver ran down my spine after recalling everything.

I was shaking uncontrollably as I tried to calm my beating heart. I dared not to look back.

I heard him chuckle behind me.

Nothing was good about him. His voice alone was enough to slice my heart in thousands. This much intimidation and the dominating aura he carried around himself was making me choke on it.

"I'm hungry. Move unless you want me to eat you." My eyes widened and I unintentionally turned back with the speed of light. I took a step back immediately when I found him too close to me.

Yesterday when I saw him, there was pitch black in the room but now, in broad daylight, I could see him.

God look-alike. The man standing in front of me had the beauty of god and eyes glimmering with the devil in them. Tall was not even the word to describe his status, he was huge with muscles ripping through his white-colored shirt, which was rolled up to his elbows.

His eyes held the same side siter look he had yesterday. His mountain's peak cheekbones appeared chiseled into shape by a master craftsman. He was nothing like men I had ever met.

He stood there towering over me with his hands gracefully resting in his pockets. His dark hairs were messy but still tamed as a few strands fell on his forehead. Darkness around him was engulfing me slowly and painfully. The little twitch in his lips, as he half-smiled was giving me thousand electric shocks.

And at the same time, only one thing was in my mind. He was not a human.

I took one step back remembering his words. And I made a small observation, the room was starting to get cold.

Again.

No, no, no, no, no! Not again!

My breathing was heavy now as fear slowly creped inside me. My hands were trembling as sweat beads rolled down my head. And when I looked his way, he seemed rather amused by all this.

I eyed the door at his right. I couldn't stay here with him. His presence terrified me like nothing else. I knew behind his beautiful mask, he was a monster. He planted fear in me.

His eyes were fixated on me watching me like a hawk looking at his prey.

All of a sudden all the lights in the room start flickering. I knew he was doing this.

I looked fearfully between him and the door as I moved back from him. My sympathetic nervous system worked as my fight or flight ignited as I looked at the door leading outside the room once again.

"Don't," he said firmly like he knew what I was going to do. He looked calm and composed, his lips were curled up in a sinister grin.

His grin was halfway a smile, halfway a threat, dating me to go against him.

But I was not going to listen. I choose flight as I ran towards the door with all my strength and when I thought I was close enough, a scream left my lips when I felt two strong arms wrapped around my waist. I screamed as loudly as I could until my voice came out hoarsely.

"Stop! No! Let go of me! Help somebody! Help! Let me go!" I screamed hysterically.

And that's when I concluded.

Oh my god! What have I gotten myself into!
