I keep looking at their beautiful bodies and graceful movements. Who are they? Are they goddesses?

They can't be human, they are too unrealistically arresting that I can't even take my eyes off them. I feel like I am lifting from the ground beneath me. My body is floating, without letting my toes touch the floor.

"We will give you everything you want, every pleasure you desire, the power you wish to possess...You only have to take my hand," the gorgeous woman with the golden stone hanging on her neck insists on me. Their fallen hair is almost touching my cheek. They are that close.

But, something is not alright. This is not right.

I sense that something is out. I have no idea what my sixth sense is saying, but there's a faded voice that talks from far away. I can't hear it properly.  I felt something weird.

Something is happening to my shoulder, the back of my shoulder where my birthmark is. I feel a chill like something is tickling down my skin. Something in the inner of me is trying to rise, but it's weak. I can feel it. It's trying to fight against the daze I am fallen to.

But whatever is happening inside me, it's not working. Something stronger is holding me back.

I shake my head sideways and blink.

The three women stare at me with surprise. The smiles on their faces drop. The glow of the stones is weakening, it's fading. Cracks start appearing on their beautiful faces, the muscle tissues are tearing apart. They are getting angry, their faces fill with both horror and vexation when they start realising that I'm gaining consciousness from whatever they are going to me.

"Y/n, get out from there,"

"Y/n, come with me,"

"Take her hand,"

"Run"

My mind starts jamming with all the noises rambling. I am getting confused and again I feel that I'm losing consciousness that I gained somehow.

The three beauties are getting back to normal. They look prettier than ever now. The lustre they glowed is stronger. I know that my mind is no longer under my control. But I know that something hideous will happen if I obey them.

But I can do nothing else but to be their puppet...

The blue gemstone owner moves closer to me. Her pearly teeth glisten in the darkness. The rosy lips stretch, revealing the sharp edges of her long teeth. They are longer than normal teeth. She is getting closer to my face, I feel my body is stiffened and frozen. I can't even move my muscles. A flux of smoggy air starts leaving my body. The woman is sucking the smoke like a thing that I am releasing. My body is getting weak. As she keeps doing it, the other two join her, consuming the smoke I am releasing. I am losing my consciousness faster than before now since all three of them are doing it.

I'm so doomed, I can feel it.

Suddenly a gust of air separated us, crashing into the mini circle of the three beauties. Blue colour flashes like a rumble of thunder as the huge gust hits us. My body falls and rolls away from the mystic beauties that were rounding me earlier. I groan as my head hits on the grassy floor, landing flat on my face.

I wish I was wearing a helmet right now,

The three females flicker their heads in the direction of the obstruction caused. I slowly turn at that side too. My neck feels like it is cracked. I manage to drag myself away from the three mystics and try to stand alone. I glance at the person standing in front of us.

Now what? Who's that? What on the earth is happening here?

In the semi-darkness, I see the glowing aurora of a man who is watching us with sharp eyes. I can't see his face properly, but I can tell that he sure isn't happy about the encounter of the three beauties who are now looking terrified with the sudden appearance of the masculine they are facing. He takes another step forward, blasting another gust of blue flashes towards the three of them from his bare hands.

How on the earth? I must've hit my head pretty bad. What am I witnessing right now?

The three angels like women screech in horror. I stare at them, standing up by leaning my hand to a tree next by.

Their faces...

Their faces are tearing apart, the flesh is deliquescing. The skull under their soft and milky skin starts appearing. The muscles stick to their skull. In the next second, they completely turn into horrible looking walking skeletons. The beautiful and ravishing looks of them are gone. The clothes are wrecked. The eyes sunken inside the grey colour face glow in red, they scream in a horrendous high pitch sound. I feel like my ears are bleeding.

I cover my years from both my palms to block the monstrous screeching reaching my eardrums.

The man walks towards me, still keeping his eyes on the three creatures. I startle as the weird man approaches me.

Should I run or...

I didn't think twice before I start running away from the creatures and the man who shot blue flames from his hand. He did save me but what if he did that to take advantage of me, what if he tries to kill me? Those creatures, what are they? Who's this man? I have so many questions running in my head.

But I have to live first,

As soon as I got on my feet, I start running with the whole strength remaining in my body. My body feel like it was beaten by someone. The man starts yelling from behind,

"Hey! Wait! Stop right there!" he calls me. But I don't even waste time to turn back. Everything here is creeping me out. I want to get out of whatever this place is.

"Didn't you hear what I said?" He arouses his voice again, making me even more frightened. Now I am hundred percent sure that this is a bad guy, he wants to hurt me as well.

I keep running while praying not to get caught by him or the three women who turned into horrific creatures.

I can't see where I am running even, but I stick to the plan and keep moving forward even though I trip several times. I stop to catch my breath. As I do, I hear a familiar sound, the salty tasted breeze, that musical melody of the waves.

It's the ocean, I'm near the shore, if I can reach there, I can find a way to get the hell out of here. There should be enough signals to send a text message or a phone call. I keep walking forward.

But I stand dead freeze as I hear the familiar screech of the three creatures who seized me before. They are so close, I can hear the noise right behind me. I turn my head to get a peek at them.

Damn, I regret what I did,...

I gasp as I see the creatures who are chasing me from behind. They no longer look like goddesses nor angels, they are wrecked skeletons, their blood-curdling shrieks are making me feel a chill on my spine.

As I startle, I trip, unfortunately. I groan and try to stand up, my legs are locked. I feel a sharp pain in my left palm.

This day can't get any worse,...

Three creatures are moving super-fast, they are so close to me. I shut close my eyes, objecting to witness the tragic end of my dear life.

I feel a tight grip on my arm.

I flicker at the person who pulls me up from the ground. It is the same person who interfered earlier. Even though it is dark, I see that he is extremely handsome and good looking. His round and big doe eyes gaze at me,

"Keep running," he says in a low voice before he starts running, dragging me with him as well.

I am confused and all but I have no choice but to run behind him. His grip is tight. He keeps running through the dark shadows without any problems. Looks like he's pretty familiar with this area. The creatures keep chasing us from behind, screeching out of their lungs with that spine chilling high pitch scream.

Why won't he fight against them as he did earlier? He's running away.

We stop at a dead end.

It is the sea beneath us. We are on the rocky landside which is situated pretty high from sea level. The monstrous waves hit the rocks without mercy. I pant to catch my breath. I gulp as I see that there's nowhere to run anymore. The man is still holding my hand. He breathes fast. I see his face from the moonlight fallen to him.

He's...he looks gorgeous.

Now only I see his whole figure. The sharp jawline is highlighting his nicely carved features. The long bangs of black hair are fallen to his face, sticking to his forehead. He glances at me before I can study him more,

"We have to jump" I stare at him with disbelief.

"You are kidding me right?" I look down at the waves that are savagely crashing to the rocks with their strength. We won't even have a chance to survive,

"We don't have any other options," he glances at me.

"You are crazy, you are going to kill us both,"

"We jump on the count of three," this man seems to have no intention to listen to me. This is crazy, we are digging our graves.

"One," I stare at him as he counts.

"Two" the three creatures blast from the woods nearby. I gasp as they approach us.

"Three," I don't even have time to think.

The next second, I find myself falling in the midair, right into the pit of death.

Guess who's the mysterious man? There will be lots of theories about this story. These days I'm researching about mystical creatures and stuff lmao. It's fascinating though.

Hope you all are doing well. See you in the next chapter.

Love you ❤️

Stay gold ✨
