Chapter 3 Light!

• Valerina's POV
• I am not feeling any pain. I moved my hand and it feels normal like it wasn't broken.
• He always does this, first hurts me and then makes it disappear.
• The first time I opened my eyes in his darkness, I tried to run but there was no door.
• I cried, screamed but he wasn't bothered at all. I don't know how many times I have asked him his intentions but he doesn't answer.
• He just keeps me locked in the dark room. Tired of all this I tried to end my life but I don't know how he got to know and stopped me.
• He snatched the dagger from my hand and gave thousands of cuts on my hand. It didn't bleed, just gave me immense pain. I couldn't even breath.
• "The moment you entered my life, you lost the right on your life..."
• I cried when he gave me another cut.
• "These cries, tears and blood... I'll be the only one to give you all this."
• His voice was calm but promising. He wasn't bothered by my cries at all.
• I can't forget that pain, I don't know if I fainted because of pain or cries but when I woke up there was no pain.
• I can't feel the pain of last night either but still I don't want to open my eyes. I don't want to witness him again and what's the use of opening the eyes when what I am going to see is only darkness.
• I gasped when I felt myself floating in the air. I can smell his strong scent.
• God! He is carrying me somewhere. No! Where is he taking me?
• I refused to open my eyes. His stone like hard body made me feel threatening. His hold slightly tightened on me when I shivered.
• I jumped in fear when he placed me down on something, may be bench.
• "Open your eyes..."
• I gulped when he said that.
• I slowly opened my eyes and quickly closed it when it burnt.
• "Open your eyes..."
• I flinched when I felt him closer to my ear.
• I slowly opened my eyes and it was a little darker. I looked around and saw thick curtains around me.
• My heart started beating fast when I saw light, not sun but hope of little brightness.
• I am in light that's why my eyes burnt, after staying in the dark for I don't know how long, my eyes couldn't take the brightness.
• Something moved behind me and then I realised that he is still behind me.
• I clutched on the hem of my dress when I heard his footsteps, same footsteps which haunt my dreams.
• I gulped and looked down and My eyes fell on shiny leather shoes. I slowly started looking up. Black trousers, veiny hands tucked in pockets, leather belt, folded sleeves. He is dressed like a human.
• I gathered the courage to look up, I have never seen his face in broad light. Only fangs and glowing eyes.
• His chest is so big, he is so big... Like a mountain. No wonder he snaps my bone with the lightest touch.
• His neck, Adam's apple. He is more human like other than any normal human being then what made him like this? What is he?
• My eyes finally landed on his face and my heart almost jumped out of my chest.
• No! He is not a human. No human can be this beautiful.
• Sharp jaw, thin lips, long nose my heart skipped a bit when my eyes met his purple one. His eyes! It's purple not red. Then why do I see red every night.
• One strand of his platinum silver hair fell into his forehead. No one will believe that this angel like looking man is a monster.
• Slowly curtains around us started falling and the brightness started hurting my eyes. I closed my eyes and large hands wrapped around me.
• Wait! When did I got up? I was sitting.
• Why is he bringing me out in the sun? Is it because I cried last night?
• Is it even possible or is there something else in his mind? Or is it a dream?
• After some time when I was prepared I opened my eyes again and It's not a dream. I am really out in the sun, I can feel the warmth on my skin.
• I looked at him again but this time his eyes were red, it made me take a step back from him and he let me go.
• No matter how beautiful and alluring his presence is, he is a monster.
• Something flashed in his eyes when I stepped back, I don't know how to read it.
• I broke the eye contact and looked around. My jaw dropped when I realised where I am, it's a castle. But not the one you see in movies.
• I could see the place more clearly from the balcony, it has huge garden but all dead. Castle is looking like a haunted palace which was burnt and no one tried to revive it back.
• There is no life around this place. It has huge compounds and behind it I could see only forest, dark green forest which has life. Then what happened to this place? Why it's like this?
• This place is so sad.
• I turned my head to look at him but he wasn't there. He left.
• I don't even know his name. I sighed and sat on the bench, It feels so good to see sun after a long time. I was about to die in that darkness.
• But why did he decided to Do this? Is it because I cried last night?
• I looked at my wrist and there is no mark of any injury. It's perfectly fine.
• What is he doing to me?
• But that's not what I should think right now. I need to find a way out of this.
• I don't know what are his intentions and I can't stay here. Now or later, he will kill me.
