Chapitre 6: Held Captive
“Don't come any closer?” He tilted his head to the side as if he wanted to make sense of the word I spoke.
“A human,” he tsked. “What a pathetic creature,” he walked closer to me.
“Don't come any closer!” I frantically glanced around the place as I tried to seek a way of escape.
However, I found none.
I was rooted to the floor, with my butt glued to the floor.
“You are just a pathetic thing.”
As he came towards me, the smoke left his body.
“Gods!”
My eyes widened as I fully saw his body.
The creature was naked!
“Why? You look like you haven't seen a man naked, before.” He walked until he came to where I was sitting, glued to the floor.
“Don't touch me!” I tried to fight him as he latched his hand to my jaw, but he tightly held me.
“Pathetic, but healthy.” He said before he brought his face closer to mine.
“What are you doing? Don't touch me!” I tried to fight him, but it was fruitless.
His eyes turned bright red as he smirked. “You are nothing but a pathetic Human.”
I watched in shock as his teeth started to elongate until they grew so sharp.
His eyes got brighter, and the expression on his face
A scream tore through my throat when he latched his teeth to my neck.
I screamed at the top of my lungs as pain tore through my body. It felt as if my neck was on fire.
It was like the time I got stung by a scorpion. The pain was too much, it caused me to grit my teeth.
I screamed and kicked until my eyes rolled to the back of my throat.
The pain didn't cease, and he never removed his mouth from my throat.
I continued to scream until I lost consciousness.
***********
My heart hurts, and my entire body seemed like a heavy brick was placed on it.
It reminded me of the time when I went for hunting the first time.
“Gods.” I tried to touch my head, but I discovered I couldn't.
It felt as if something strong was tied to it.
I tried to tug on it, but the thing my hand was tied with, didn't budge.
Slowly, I opened my eyes.
I blinked at the bright light before I got my eyes accustomed to the light.
I was tied to the bed, in the same room I saw the dark box in.
The creature!
Immediately, I turned towards the box, half hoping to see the naked man I saw last night.
But the box was closed, and there was no sign of the naked creature.
Gods.
I breathed out in relief.
That thing must have gone back to his bed.
“I can see you are awake?”
The familiar voice startled me out of my thoughts, and I turned, only to discover it was the same man who came from the box.
He wasn't as naked as he was last night.
The creature was putting on a black cloak that covered his lower body and left his upper body on display.
The smooth ripple of his muscles was so beautiful, it would have earned him the love of the females in the kitchen.
“What are you doing here?” I frown at him.
“What I'm doing here?” He asked in a deep voice.
“What am I doing tied to this bed? Untie me right this instant!” I tugged on the ropes binding me to the headboard, but it didn't budge.
“I have taken a liking to you.” He advanced towards me, “you might be a petty human, but your blood tastes surprisingly great.”
“My— my blood?” My eyes widened when I finally remembered what happened last night. “You monster! Why did you tie me to the bed? Untie me this instant!” I tug on the rope until it felt like my hands wanted to break.
“Monster?” He sat on the bed. Up close, I noticed the change in his eye colour compared to how it was last night.
His eyes looked like real gold. And paired off with his hair, it looked like gold and silver.
“Let me go! Don't come near me!” I tried to kick my legs, to get the ropes on them to lose, but it was futile.
“It's funny how shameless you are. Do you think you can seduce me with your pathetic body?”
He touched my cheeks.
“Don't touch me with that filthy hands of yours, monster!”
If not for the ropes that were holding me captive, I would have kicked him to the next life.
He laughed.
The sound was irritating. It felt as if he was mocking me with both the smiles on his face and the glint in his eyes.
“Filthy hands?” He rose from the bed, “you are the filthy one, human. Be thankful I let you live.” He turned his back to me and headed towards the door.
“What are you going to? Let me go! Do you think you can tie me here? Let me go!”
He turned, “let you go?” He scoffed, “no one leaves this palace alive. If you want to leave this place, you will have to die.”
His words caused me to shiver, but I wasn't about to back down from this.
“What are you talking about? Do you think you can tie me against my will? Let me go!” I tugged on the ropes.
“I will send someone to attend to you. You stink.”
With one last glance at me, he left the room. The door banged shut behind him, and I was once left alone in the big room.
I tried to tug on the ropes, but it was futile.
The rope I was tied with, felt more like iron to me. The more I tugged on it, the more it bit into my skin.
“Let me out of here!” I shouted at the top of my lungs, hoping to alert anyone who happens to be out there.
