When aunt left with Benny, Jasper walked towards me and he just grab me by my forearm and said, " Come on, Aisling you need to help me out."I was mortified by him and don't know where he wants to take me and kill me. I don't know whether should I trust him with my life or not but if he wants to kill me he could kill me in the attic he didn't do it which means he genuinely does not want to me or at the very least I can only hope for it.He gives me a nudge to move. And I took a breath and tried to stay optimistic. We both walked together to my only favorite place in this house...Everyone has a place where they go to escape all the pressures and worries of life. A place that makes them happy. There is always that one spot that can soothe all your problems and troubles in times of stress. For some, the woods, the beach, or the park is the place to go. For me, it is simpler. I go to the library to cure all my problems to calm down and feel happy. A library is a quiet place. Not church-q
reached out for the doorknob after I crawled out from underneath my covers, emerging like a butterfly from a cocoon, swinging my legs over the side of the bed. As my warm feet hit the cold floor, I got shivers that send chills up my spine. I shook off the chills and drag my weary body to the steep staircase. Ascending those dreadful stairs is a struggle.I cautiously looked down the stairs into the inky blackness below. Bitingmy lip, I started to make my waydown the stairs. The light switch is atthe bottom. I looked behind me, onelast peek of light before I carried ondescending the stairs into theunknown. I stepped down from stepto step cautiously. Each stepdragged me further into thedarkness and further away from thesafety of the light.I reached the bottom of the stairs. Iran my hands along the wall, myfingers seeking the light switch. Flick!Light... Reassurance. A quick fewstrides across to the door. I hastilybolted the door. I turned to the right,facing the open wi
Benny, what are you doing?" I asked him and was scared of him. My whole body was trembling because of the fear.I was barely standing on my feet and Benny chuckled like it was amusing for him to see me in fear." You are too dumb Aisling, you still don't understand why we both are here?"" Don't talk into riddles, Benny. Come to the point."" Well, I am finishing the job that my brother Jasper left midway but don't worry I will make it easy for you and you will not feel any pain. "My hands trembled, so I took a deep drag to calm my frayed nerves. I just wanted to forget that terrible sight, but questions multiplied in my mind as the smoke furled.I can see from the corner of my eye that the water was boiling in the pot. I thought of an idea." Any last wishes?"" Why you are doing this? I didn't do anything. I beg of you that please have mercy "I begin to cry in front of him to distract him as I took a step backward." poor, Aisling! Are you afraid of death?" please Benny, I am beg
I froze, unable to breathe the air caught in my throat.He leaps towards me, any second he'd kill me and his claws will pass through me, The first time I see my death so close... Just a blink of an eye away and I will be in the dark abyss without any pain, any guilt, any memory, and any fear. I wasn't afraid of death. I find death more peaceful than living a life like mine, living in fear and shadow. I shut my eyes tightly. Anticipating death and there is no way I can dodge this.But then life gives me a second chance to meet with Azelaic one more time to create cherished memories again. To live a perfect life with him. All of a sudden, Emily and Jasper came from behind him and held him tightly." Aisling! RUN! GO FAST! RUN!" Jasper told me but my mind couldn't comprehend what is going on. I can see Benny went completely crazy and he was squirming himself to get free from their grip." AISLING! RUN! WHY YOU ARE STILL STANDING? WE CAN'T HOLD HIM MUCH LONGER!" Jasper yells bringing me
Three days laterI snapped open my eyes, my mouth went completely dry as I nervously swallowed. My heart beats as it pumps my blood through my veins. The blood rushes to the tips of my fingers, the pulse coming in hot waves that cause everything else to pulse...My blurry vision couldn't see anything but darkness and my brain trying to process the information.I was laying on the ground. The ground was covered in pieces of rock, shards of glass, dirt in some places, and sand in others. It was quiet in the hallway, the same quiet that comes with the snowfall when every living animal is hiding at home where it’s warm. The Dungeon looked like hell but felt like Heaven.I tried to get up but I was too weak to stand on my own. I took the support of the wall and got up.I was barely standing straight as I looked above. The Dungeon was a long, and dark hallway, the lights were hanging from the ceilings swinging back and forth, flickering on and off with the motion." Where am I? How I got he
My breath caught up in my throat as he looked into my eyes. I froze, unable to move or even talk. Words stuck in my throat like they also fear of him and never wanted to come out again in front of him.He leaned his head to me, his neck so close to my lips, I felt the heat coming off his skin. His breath was warm against my ear. His voice was a ragged snarl, I absorbed the terror and beauty of him and his world. Of every moment over the past few days. All of it filled me up like this is the last breath I'd ever taken." Do you want to know what I have done to your friends? He said into my ear. And I just stayed silent." I ripped him apart and threw his one limp in the east and his second one in the west. I gave him the painful death that he couldn't think of in his worst nightmare." words leave his mouth so do my tears leave my eyes. It had triggered the primal flight reaction or something like it: a massive flood of adrenaline that shot through me like a drug and made me feel deeply
I was extremely worried about what he will do to me." Are you going to kill me?" I asked him." No, I don't kill weak but if you won't shut your mouth then I might change my mind." He warned me. And I was struggling to get myself free from his steel-like grip around my wrist.He dragged me out of the dungeon and I looked around to find it was kind of like a prison. Huge iron bar, cobweb hanging from the ceiling." Open the door!" he orders a man on the opposite side of the bars. Who I guess, guarding the place but from who? And what? I didn't see anyone inside. The guard fumbled with the keys but he managed to unlock the door and I was standing behind his hand still holding me like he never wanted to leave it. The guard opened the door for us and we made our way out. The air brushed against my skin asHe pulled me towards the steps outside, nearly tripping and falling a few times with each tug on my arm. My fingers were starting to turn purple as I leaned over and had to hold onto
turned around to only find an aged woman, her face is all wrinkly and her face was worn out." Welcome Home, Archie," she spoke in a humble tone." Greta, where is everyone?" He asked him." Your Mother is having dinner with her few friends and your father is in a pack meeting."She shifted her attention from him to me. Her eyes travel down to the length of my body like she was curious to know about me and I am curious to know where am I. And what will he do to me? And the storm comes next for me." Who is she?" she asks him and he turns his face towards me and his lips curled up into a grin." She is the new maid and Greta, please take special time to teach her the rules and regulations of here. She is a wild one."" A maid??" words leaves my mouth and the old woman looks again at me with judged eyes. And me on the other side, shoot him a dagger full of glare. How dare he talks like that about me. What he thinks he is? I am not his slave nor I will become one." Indeed, you are right
