Chapter 3
I was staring at the ceiling laying down on the bed, bored out of my mind. I don't even know why they kidnapped me, surely they don't have any financial issues by the look of the room.
Are they in some kind of Mafia?
They kidnapped me so that they can sell me in the black market?
Different type of scenario started playing in my mind making me scared and restless. I stood up and went towards the balcony to get some fresh air.
I have to find a away to get away from this place. If I wasn't here by force, I would have enjoyed the view right now. This place looks like one from the fairy tale. I lean on the railing staring at the forest surround me. Just then I saw people guarding the door in weird costumes as they are from medieval time. I frowned and leaned further more to get a good view towards the Guards when suddenly I dis-balanced and my grip lost. I started falling towards the ground. My eyes widened in sudden shock, scream erupted from my mouth. I would definitely die now. I closed my eyes waiting for me to plummeted to the ground. I waited for the doom but it never came. I slowly opened my eyes and saw electricity charging around me and I was hovering above the ground. I stared at the person whose hands were in my direction controlling the electricity. His eyes met mine and he winked in my direction, slowly I land on the ground.
My knees buckled up and I fell on the ground taking deep breaths to control the rapid heart beat. Tears appeared in my eyes and cascaded down my cheeks, I shakily wipe them and closed my eyes. I have never experienced something like this is my life.
"Are you okay?" Caleb said, I could hear his footsteps getting closer towards me. My body was still feeling the after shock. "Here, Take my hand" he said offering me his hand when I didn't respond to him. I slowly put my hand in his because I was certain that my body still reeling in the shock. His hand was warm and slowly he pulled me upward in standing position. "Were you that desperate to run away from here?" he asked raising his eyebrow in confusion. I shook my head "It was an accident" I murmured pulling my hand away from him. My head was pounding now and I was feeling like I could pass out any second. "Whoa Whoa" he said shocked when my body started swaying. He pulled me towards him taking me in his arms. I couldn't fight back so I laid my head on his chest closing my eyes. "Take some rest" he said and started walking towards God's knows where.
"What happened to her?" Another voice said joining us. I recognized this voice very clearly. "She fell from her Balcony" Caleb stated sighing. I could hear other person groaning. "She is such an accidental prone" I wanted to respond to his statement but my body wasn't in the condition.
"She is so fragile" Alexander said after a awhile, his gaze falling on me. I could feel his eyes on me. "Yeah, she is" Caleb replied and opened a door, walking a bit more.
"How is she going to handle him then?" Alexander questioned, I didn't hear Caleb reply but before I could hear it, my mind started shutting down and I welcomed the sleep.
Who is he?
***
I opened my eyes and looked around me, I was in the same room where I woke up before. I sat up on the bed and my eyes immediately turned toward the balcony which have a giant lock on it now. They don't trust me to be careful I guess. I won't even trust myself after the event. Due to some miracle I was saved otherwise I wouldn't have been alive right now.
He is supernatural that's for sure. He can control electricity and I have no doubt that Alexander is same as him. I groaned cursing my fate, they are going to use me as leverage in front of some monster.
I am going to die!
Door to the room opened and entered Caleb. He wore an easy going smile on his face. "How are you feeling now?" he asked sitting on the chair in-front of me. "You are going to feed me to a monster" I blurted out, he looked at me like I am crazy. I put my hands on my mouth in shock. I shouldn't have said that. "Who told you that?" he said chuckling. I sighed in relief, he didn't get offended. "No one, I concluded it myself, you guys kidnapped me for some reason. You have enough money to buy anything luxurious, you have powers. Then what do you want from a girl like me" I said swallowing. His smile vanished away from his face. "Its complicated" he said exhaling. I scoffed at his response, nothing is complicated until you make it. "At least tell me something" I tried again. He sighed and averted his eyes away from me clenching his jaw. Did I make him angry with my questions?
Suddenly he stood up from his seat "You want to know why we got you here" he asked staring at me, his tone serious. I quickly nodded my head. I know I won't be liking the answer but atleast I would have a head start to prepare my mind. "Come on then, follow me" he said swiftly and started walking towards the door. I didn't waste any time and followed him.
Alexander joined us when we exit the room, I gave him a stinky eye not forgetting the way he treated me in past days. He ignored my stare and walked in front of us. "Where are we going?" I asked curiously as we started ascended the stairs. I looked around me, this is the first time I am looking at this place outside the room and boy was it marvelous. This place is so beautiful and are the walls made of gold? My mouth fell open in surprise and I blinked my eyes to see if I am just dreaming but it was still there. This place is freaking made of gold. "Close your mouth or it will drop on the ground" Alexander amused voice broke me from my surprised state. I glower at him, its not every day you see a place like this. Suddenly a thought hit me when we started walking in a wide corridor, there was different type of arts hung on the wall with beautiful gems adorning them. This place can never exist in New York.
"Where are we?" I said stopping in my track. Caleb looked behind him when he saw I wasn't following him. "We are in Alexander home" he shrugged his shoulder. I raised my eye brow in suspicion "I am asking as where are we in USA or are we even in the USA?" I questioned, he shared a quick glance with Alexander who rubbed his forehead sighing. "We will tell you everything, now follow us, will you!" Alexander said pursuing his lips. I scowled at him ready to argue more. "Please Amelia, We are taking you to answer all of your questions" Caleb interrupted me before I could retaliate to Alexander the great. I sighed and nodded my head, I should remember that they are both supernatural creatures who can kill me any second.
We went towards a wooden door and Alexander opened it quickly. It was dark and narrow pathway. Alexander entered first then Caleb gestured me to enter, with hesitation I slowly entered in the place which looked like a tunnel. Caleb came after me closing the door behind him letting us all in darkness. I shrieked in fear stumbling on my feet. "Relax, I have got this" Caleb said and light started appearing on the side wall when Caleb waved his hand. With wide eyed, I started walking in the narrow pathway silently. "So what you do for a living, Amelia?" Caleb asked to avoid the ire silence. I wanted to lash out that he kidnapped me doesn't he have full information about me but I bit my tongue. I should be careful here rather than reckless. "I am still in college finishing my studies" I replied finally. He hummed in response. "What do you do?" I asked curiously wanted to know more about my culprit. He chuckled "I am a King"
Wow, did he think I am an idiot.
"Don't boost his ego by asking useless questions" Alexander annoyed voice said from the front. Caleb scoffed "You are just jealous that I have become King before you" he said, I couldn't see his expression because he was walking behind me. "Whatever you say Danvers, whatever you say" Alexander responded without any emotions.
I am just as much confused with all of this conversation.
King?
Castle type interior?
Powers?
Am I in a fairy tale?
"We are here" Alexander announced opening the door which made a creaking sound. He exit through the door. Before I could follow him, Caleb grabbed my hand and with the low lighting I could still make out his serious facial expression. "Just be open minded" he said in soft voice and released my hand walking out of the door. I stood there staring at his figure. I am being open mind till now otherwise I would be screaming like a mad woman. I hold the door knob and turned it, opening the door. My eyes widened like a saucer when I took in my surrounding. I am in a freaking cave. I slowly walked towards Caleb.
Do they believe in black magic?
Did they take me here for some kind of sacrifice.
My mind was telling me to turn around and run away from this place but where will I go? I don't even know where am I?
I am trapped here, the only option that I have is to stick with these people until I get a chance to run away. "Hurry up, will you" Alexander yelled from the corner, I growled at his retreating back and quicken my pace.
The site that awaits me made me flabbergasted. My eyes widened even more if that's possible. There in front of me was a giant Dragon in chains. His body was covered in scales and he was sleeping. My mind goes blank and I stumbled onto my feet slowly backing away.
Dragon for real!
This has to be a dream. I am dreaming. "Ow" I pinched my cheek and felt the pain. This is real.
Holy shit.
I quickly backed away from both of them murmuring nonsense. Suddenly my foot struck on the stone which I didn't see before. I fell face front on the ground groaning in pain. "She is going to get us in trouble" Alexander panicked voice reached my ears making me more scared. I tried to sit up quickly to get away from them. My breath caught in my throat and I froze on my spot when I come face to face with the very much awake angry dragon who was directly in front of me. He was breathing through his nostrils heavily, his eyes were pitch black and I was scared shit less.
I am definitely going to die now!
"Don't move" Caleb said sharply, his hands were glowing with his powers. I am not an idiot, I know when to stop. But is he really thinking that he can tame this freaking dragon with electricity.
I don't think so.
"Don't even think about attacking him" Alexander warned him, I quickly looked past dragon at him who was standing there looking at us anxiously. I tore my gaze away from him and looked at the dragon in front of me. He wasn't snarling or growling, he was just looking at me tilting his head. I furrowed my eyebrow, it was such a humanly gesture. Maybe, just maybe he can understand our language or let me go when I plead in front him. "Please, don't eat me" I said quickly closing my eyes when he came near me, I can feel his head close to my throat. His breath falling on my face making me nearly piss myself. Oh God please save me.
Rather than biting my neck as I thought, he took a deep breath inhaling my scent and growling a little. Is he sniffing his food before eating.
I sat there un moving letting him sniff through me. I moved my eyes towards Caleb and saw he was looking at us curiously. Suddenly Dragon started growling loudly and I quickly backed away in fear. His bones started breaking and he howled in pain.
"What is happening?" I murmured winching at the dragon pain. His size was getting smaller. "He is changing back" Alexander said cheerfully, my head wasn't working right now. I was frozen in my place staring at the scene before me. In one minute, dragon changed to a man kneeling in front of me. He moved his head in my direction and his golden eyes met my brown one. I gasped staring at him.
It can't be.
His eyes were same as the eyes in my dreams.
My head started spinning and suddenly everything went blank.
