Chapter 1 Darkness!
- Valerina's POV
- It's cold, I trembled and tried to gather the bedsheet around me. At least I have a bedsheet now, I should be grateful.
- Tears slipped from my eyes, why my life is so miserable.
- I blinked my blurry eyes and looked out of the window, As usual I could only see one lamp. I don't know how this lamp stays continuously lit but it's there whenever I open my eyes.
- I don't know if it's day or night, it's always dark.
- Dark and Cold, Like him!
- I don't want this, I don't want to live like this.
- God! Please help me.
- He is a monster, I sobbed but muffled my mouth with my hands. I don't want him to hear me and punish me for crying.
- According to him, only he can make me cry.
- He is darkness and my captor.
- My heart skipped a bit when his smell filled the room. It's so strong that adrenaline rushed in my body. He is here, he came back.
- I have to calm down otherwise he will hurt me. Just lay down like a dead body, Valerina. He will come and go.
- I heard his footsteps and clutched on the bedsheet.
- Don't scream! I bit on my lip until it started bleeding.
- Shit! He can smell my blood. I want to cry out loud on my destiny. He will hurt me now.
- I closed my eyes shut when he snatched the bedsheet away from me, I shivered under the coldness. Why is this place so cold?
- I kept my eyes close because I can't look at him. I have already had an panic attack when I looked at him last time.
- Bed creaked beneath his weight when he laid beside me.
- His smell is so strong, strong but alluring. It always makes me want to hug him but I shouldn't.
- May be that's what monsters do. They allure their prey.
- I almost flinched when he touched my arm. Even his lightest touch is so strong that it can break my arm.
- I am afraid what will happen if he could use his full strength on me.
- My lips wobbled when I felt him touching my hair. My hair are long and I am sure he is playing with it. I can sense it. It's terrifying.
- He turned me around and I gulped.
- Don't open your eyes, Don't open your eyes!
- My heart almost stopped beating when I felt his thumb on my lip which is bleeding.
- "How many times do I need to tell you that, no one can make you bleed but me"
- I flinched at his tone.
- He knows that I am awake!
- I am so dead. I sobbed when licked the blood off of my lip. His gentle licks turned furious within seconds. His lips are soft but they moves roughly against mine.
- It's hurting, he will rip my lips off.
- "P_Please!"
- I cried and he stopped, I can't feel his breathing. He doesn't breath. It makes me stutter thinking what kind of creature he is.
- "Why are you crying?"
- He asked. His deep Voice is enough to make me tremble.
- "It's h_hurting..."
- I sobbed.
- "Why were you crying before my presence?"
- He questioned.
- I know he knows everything, it's so hard to hide from him. I wonder how he finds out whatever I do when he is not present.
- Should I really tell him what I need? Will he think about it?
- I haven't asked anything from him since he has caged me except letting me go which he ignores.
- Should I take the chance? He hurts me anyway.
- "I want to go out..."
- I said in weak voice, I don't want him to hurt me. But it's so long since I have seen or feel the sun.
- "In the sun..."
- "Open your eyes and say it!"
- He demanded.
- Oh God! Not that. Please, not that. I sobbed again.
- I flinched at his growl and cried. I have to, I have no choice or else he will kill me.
- I slowly opened my eyes, the room is dimly lit. It was dark, how can it has candles now. It was completely dark before his arrival.
- I can only make out few things like potraits and his presence beside me.
- I slowly looked at him and screamed.
- His eyes are creamson red, sharp fangs are out like he is ready to rip a person.
- Out of fear, I did which I shouldn't have. I tried to run out of the bed.
- I shouldn't have done that because he grabbed my wrist to stop me but instead it broke my wrist.
- Sharp pain shot through my hand making me scream in agony.
- He pulled me back on the bed and grabbed my injured hand and it was too late to control my panic attack.
- My breathing quickened and I struggled to breath.
- I hate that I am so weak, that I can't fight back.
- But what's the use, he is supernatural. I can't win against him. I am a mere human.
- I screamed and cried in pain when he touched my broken bone.
- "Look at me!"
- He growled.
- I can't, can't he see that I am having a panic attack.
- Does he even have the heart? No! He doesn't.
- He grabbed my chin and before he broke my jaw, I opened my eyes.
- His red eyes are glaring at me. I tried to scoot away when his eyes glowed.
- Oh god! What is he?
- He pressed me down on the bed so I couldn't move.
- My heart almost jumped out of my chest when he did something to me with his eyes.
- It shot agonising pain throughout my arm. I don't know when my free hand clutched on his shoulder. He feels like a rock.
- Why is he giving me so much pain?
- What did I do wrong?
- No matter how many times I ask, he never answers.
- I screamed until I passed out due to pain and last thing I saw was his red glowing eyes.
- Someone please save me...
