I opened my eyes with the pre existing hot breath on my neck. Light coming through the gently moving curtain, a hand around my waist, and a comforting feeling.
But still this is not good.
It's wrong, it's not hot, it's always cold . It's not a light, but it's a shadow. Its not a hand on my waist, but fangs on my neck. And it's not a comforting feeling, it's always danger.

I remove his hand on my waist. I got up and sat down on the bed beside him and fixed my messy hair. I looked at him while he's asleep, the light escaping from the white curtain gave me a full sight on his beautiful face. I coudn't deny it. His brown hair was messy, with a couple of strands on his shut eyelids. The dimple on his chin was making him more heavenly devil, his blood lips was melting me on point of letting him locked here with him. But that was just maybe a stupid metaphor, I am scare of him and what he might do to me.
But I am clever, I know he likes me a little bit, and that left me to a choice of gripping to Stockholm Syndrome.
His half naked body trapped me in the thought of staring at him more. The two silver necklaces on his neck makes him even more sexier. I am totally lost at my wild thoughts now.

What happened last night?

I stopped as I remember a thing, he locked me here, he tasted my blood and he called me not human.

What does that mean?

I stared at him over my shoulder. He's still sleeping. So beautiful, but he's a monster.
I put my hands on my pants.
I suddenly felt a cold thing on my pocket.
Oh! it must be my phone!
Why am I so stupid! all this time, I didn't remember my phone!
I quickly get it. And enter the password.
I look on the notification bar.
Fuck no.

"There's no telephone communication here"he said on my back and yawn.
Ugh! how could this happen.

*someone's knocking on the door*

"Who the hell is disturbing my morning!"he said.

"It's me. Dawson"

"What are you doin here?"

"Its about Austin."

"Yeah, I'll be right there in a minute"

He stood up from bed and looked at me.

"So, you sleep well?"

He started the conversation looking at me with those normal green gorgeous eyes.

Then he turned to the right corner and walked through his walk-in closet, he picked a black polo and a white short pants that suited him after he fixed himself in the comfort room.

"How dare you to ask me that."

I stated, but he just remained quiet.

"What are you looking at?"he said

"Nothing you should care about."

We stared at each other, his piercing green eyes were killing me that air almost left out my body.

"Don't worry, you'll be all right as long as you're inside my house."

"Ugh, how can I trust you. You didn't even give me a little mercy, my life is so useless and now you're making it darker."

"Just stop it."

Then he turned his back on me and he open the door.

"I will be gone for a couple of hours, maybe I will comeback before mid night, there's a maid here so tell her what you need, and remember, if you escape, I can find you wherever you go."

Then he finally closed the door.

...

*someone's knocking at the door*
I slowly open my eyes.

I don't know but I slept once again, I don't find a thing to do, if I take a tour here, I maybe killed.

I got up while fixing myself through the door.

It must be the maid. And I am right, a gray haired woman with her lovely eyes, in her hands a folded dress.

"This is for you my dear, suit yourself, then get down, I will prepare your first breakfast here."

"Oh Thank you. I will be glad to eat with you for the first time."

"Alright, I will wait you downstairs then."

She vanished at my sight after I accept the clothes. I wore it in no time, because of the fact that I'm already starving.
I didn't even know to myself why am I doing this. I remained polite to avoid unnecessary dramas.

I didn't even know their names.

I glared at myself wearing the red dress in the mirror, a one piece off shoulders with a long loose sleeves and knee length skirt.
Every angle's effortless, the window caught my sight when I realized that it was opened up all night.

Why it wasn't closed? Is he really doing this stuff? Well, it's weird. Ain't he afraid of intruders? Or flying monsters that could have easily get inside the window?

I just decided to deal with my looks, then I left the room, today's brighter compared to last night, I can see more stairs, halls, doors and doorways that was obscured in the dark, but it doesn't change the somber ambience. Every curvature of these fiendish sculptures compliments the gloomy cold corners of the interior.

I saw the aged lady down at the stair where she awaits me. She looked at me seemingly happy. There's no such thing to be happy about. Seeing myself lost is not a good thing. But maybe it was on her, maybe she's a wild aged-woman who rarely see another woman.

"You are a beautiful creature."

She said when I reached her.

"Thank you."

I just respond.

"Just follow me dear, We'll be heading to the dining area."

I just follow without any hesitations and interruptions 'cause I'm so hungry.

We stopped in the destined place, with a long and wide dining table with a lots of foods in the table, leaving me overwhelmed by my excitement. I can't help but to get a seat not waiting for the old woman to state another word.

"Get comfortable dear, it's ok. You'll be one of us soon."

She said at my back.

Where I almost spit out the mixed fruit juice I sipped. I'll not gonna be one of you. I'll never let you.

She sat beside me and just stare, her eyes starts to glow from pale to bright yellow. I can't concentrate but I just didn't mind her and let her do what she wants.

In the middle of my precious moment, she interrupt me.

"I'm Ritania, a witch, I'm the Irvine family's trusted helper in such a long time. It started long time ago, when the leader was Victor, the grandfather of Connor, his parents move back to their recent place to handle the land, because Victor and his wife were old now and they can't reign the land. So Connor's parents don't have any options but to take the land. And they only come back here every year, Connor's birthday."

She smiled at me.

"And we are waiting for them today."

She added. So Connor is his name and we are waiting for his parents.

I think Im loosing my appetite. I'm getting so much anxious, I can't calm my system from their depressive shenanigans.

She stood up.

"I'll leave you for a moment."

I didn't respond.

Why the hell me?
My blood isn't special nor rubies.

The mysterious drawings in my arms started to get brighter everyday. That makes it permanent.

I never felt glad for a long time. I'm a lady carved from marble, these scars healed into gold. And golds keep on appearing everyday, guess I have my own mine.

Sometimes I doubt myself, do I really have a direction to follow. I keep on chasing traditions and afraid of changes.

It's time to go along where the waves will let me. Not a single thing matters, and no one cares.

If this is true, then it is. If it's staged, then I'll play the role. If my gold mine starts to erode, then let it. If I die, then let me.

But one thing is certain, I'll do my best to play every scene.

I finished the breakfast and decided to follow Ritania outside. I made my way outside the door. Where the sun proudly shines luminously. The wind is nothing new, always cold as it is before. Wide ranges of dewy emerald to dark green foliage miles and miles across.

Ritania was standing outside, observing near the roses.

"What's wrong?"

I asked behind her.

"Shh, someone's here."

She stated still looking around. I started to feel unsafe and in danger, I don't know why.

"What is it?"

And I took a step beside her, 'cause I know she can protect me. She's a witch and can summon the evil and torture it if she wanted to.

"I don't know. It's presence is so strong."

I can feel the danger that can soon consume me.

I heard a laughter, an evil laugh of a girl that sent shivers to my whole body. The laughter goes on for a second.

What is she laughing for?

A chilling mix of high and low pitch that sounds like a diabolic voice in one.

"Go on old witch be a watcher for that girl, you and that vampire should take a better sentinel, one is certain, one night will come, when you least expect it. I'll take her to the underworld!"

And she laughs again. It's a bit unfair because we can't see her.

"Fools!Fools!Fools!"

She added after laughing again, slowly muting the voices until it vanished.
