Chapter 41: Fear
Christiana POV
I slammed my door shut, my head leaning on it. Heavy pants escaped my mouth as sweat trickled down my face and neck.
I held my racing heart trying to calm down.
I have never felt so embarrassed in my entire life. And Lust_he just kept teasing me.
"I will never do anything like that again!" I said forcing myself to calm down.
That was too much. My face felt like it would combust earlier and that man whore Austin had to involve himself and make it worse.
What a day.
Getting a hold on my self I moved towards my bed and plopped down.
Leonard's words repeating in my head. I had forgotten the reason I went to the library in the first place.
Now how do I know what a Demon whisperer was?
A sigh escaped my mouth in disappointment.
My body felt too hot that I couldn't withstand it.
Anna wasn't here so I decided to take a cold shower on my own. It's been a while I bath myself. I am slowly getting used to the pampering nature of this world.
I peeled my clothes off my body letting them drop to the floor. I bent over and picked them up walking into the bathroom. Dumping them in the laundry bag. I moved towards the bath and soaked myself in.
A sigh of content escaped my mouth as my eyes shut taking the relaxing feeling in. The water was cold soothing all my aching muscles from all that run and my nerves too.
This was what I needed.
I guess I was so tired cause I didn't know when my eyes shut luring me to sleep and a dream state.
I felt lost. Yes that was the word to describe it. I stood alone in an empty play ground. The sky had darkened. The only sound I could hear was the creaking sound of the swing.
My feet was bare as I felt the cold sand underneath my feet. My eyes scanned everywhere in fright as my heartbeat accelerated.
Where am I?
What is this place?
I was still dressed in the clothes I wore today.
"Lust? Lust?" I yelled feeling scared.
It was dead silent. I was alone.
"A-anna?" I mumbled out scared.
I felt a pair of eyes on me making my head snap towards the direction in fear. A sigh escaped my mouth as it was only a bird on a tree.
I moved my feet trying to find my way out of whatever here was. I heard the flapping of wings and my head snapped in the direction.
Once again it was another bird hanging on a branch. It's dark eyes watching me.
I felt chills run down my back.
I moved my feet fast wanting to leave there when I found myself running in the woods.
'Why was I running?' I don't know.
But all I knew was the urgency coursing through my bones to just run.
My feet was once again bare. It was dark and the sky was starless and cloudy.
The chirping sounds of birds was all I could hear. It got louder and louder.
Fear flowed through me. My eyes were wide scanning everywhere as I ran. It was as if my feet was programmed to run.
" Christiana I will catch you!" An icy voice said behind me leaving goosebumps on my skin.
I frantically searched for the person but I couldn't find anyone.
Adrenaline coursed through me as my feet picked up speed. I felt breathless and tired but I couldn't afford to stop.
Something tells me that whoever that is shouldn't catch me.
"I will find you! You can't stay hidden forever" It said again. It's voice seemed to get closer towards me. The birds were chirping louder giving me an err feeling.
I stumbled on my feet crashing on the floor with a gasp.
I quickly scanned behind me hoping whoever it is was still far away. It was too dark to see. My heart was thumping loudly in my chest.
"Oh Christiana..." The voice whispered in my ear. My head snapped towards the direction with force but no one was there. It was as if the wind carried the voice to me.
An err laughter echoed in the forest. I want to get out of here. I'm scared. My body shaking in fright.
"I'm watching you Christiana. You can run but I will still catch you...." It drawled out laughing.
I couldn't stand it anymore. I scrambled up from the floor and held my dress running away.
My eyes scanning everywhere for something about to pop out from the darkness.
Once again I lost my footing and fell. A gasp escaped my mouth as I forced my head from under water.
My eyes scanned the bathroom in fright. My heart thumping loudly in my chest. I had dozed of in the bath nearly drowning myself.
I stared at the goosebumps littered on my skin.
"It felt so real" I mumbled forcing my saliva down my throat.
"It was just a dream Chris, don't let it scare you" I whispered to myself nodding my head. I stood up from the bath and stepped out of the water.
My feet landed on something on the floor making me jump back in fright. I looked down and a small sigh of relief escaped my mouth. It was just my cloth I took off earlier.
I walked passed it but found myself pausing when a thought crossed my mind.
I turned around to stare at the cloth next to the bath and then at the laundry bag.
"I.... thought I placed that in the bag earlier?" My eyes moved between the cloth and the bag.
I shaked my head laughing at my stupidity.
"I'm sure I forgot again"
I walked towards it and picked it up dumping it in the bag before stepping out of the bathroom.
Since Anna wasn't here to assist me, I dressed myself in a simple looking and comfortable lilac dress.
I sat down at the vanity table drying my wet hair when a knock resounded on the door. My head turned towards the door in question.
Who could that be?
"It's me Milady. Anna"
"Come in Anna " I said with a smile on my face.
The door opened up and Anna walked in. She looked surprised and frightened when she saw me all dressed up.
"I am so sorry Milady. I...I didn't know yo--"
I cut her off before she faints due to fear.
"It's okay Anna. As you can see I am all dressed up. Don't worry" I smiled in reassurance.
Her face lightened up as she moved behind me taking the comb from my hand.
"Then let me dry your hair for you" she said.
I kept quiet letting her have her way.
"You have been invited to dinner in the dinning room Milady" she announced combing my hair.
My eyes widened in surprise.
For a while now I have been eating in my room. Mostly to avoid eating alone in the dinning or with Rage and other times to avoid Lust and no one bothered. So today was a shocker.
"By who?" I asked curious. Could it be Lust?
The fact that he could be the one gave me a slight sense of warmth.
"The king" she said.
And just like that the fire was quenched.
"Oh.. okay." I forced a smile on my face.
Moments later we were both heading to the dinning room. I was still slightly embarrassed by what happened earlier but I will be fine as long as it's just Lust I will have to see.
The dinning room doors opened and I stepped while Anna walked away leaving me alone. I raised my hair and the sight made me gasp in horror.
Why me! Why! Why! Why!
