The Devil's enchanting Eyes

32

After we came back to the room, Xavier left without saying anything. I couldn't understand his sudden change of moods. We didn't meet normally before this day yet he behaved like he had known me forever and then he was back to his strange attitude.

Well why do I care?

I shook my head and diverted my attention towards the three goofs in front of me. They were laughing their faces off over God knows what. Soon I was one of them.

"You need to come with us mam." A man in black uniform came into the room we were sitting in. He was pointing towards me and I was clueless. Why would they need me anywhere?

What if they are gonna kill me because I witnessed Xavier murdering someone?

OMG no!

But I didn't say anything. I kept my mouth shut. It's been a month since that happened.

Maybe they were waiting for the right time...

"Why?" Raven immediately stood up from the couch. His tone was defensive.

"I don't know. We are ordered to bring her alone." the man stiffly answered.

Raven typed some text on his phone and exchanged glances with Dylan. They looked at me. I was sitting there like a lost kid who didn't know what to do or say. I was feeling the same way.

"Okay," Raven said to the man and turned towards me.

"It's okay, Bella, go with him. Don't worry you are safe here. I will call Xavier." he said the last part quietly and squeezed my hand. Reluctantly I stood up.

Sandi grabbed my arm tightly. "I will come with you," Her facial expressions showed that she was thinking the same thing as I.

"No," the man replied before me.

I gave her an assuring smile and walked behind the man quietly. Mom and dad are here too. They can't do anything bad with me. I reassured myself.

Xavier is here too...

I don't know why but the thought of him being close relaxed my tense nerves. He is not the type of person with whom you should feel safe but still his presence gives a weird comfort to me.

The man led me to a room which was kind of secluded from the entire building and I felt anxiety building up in my chest. The thoughts of running away came to my mind but at the same time I knew it was useless.

He opened the door for me and got aside himself. Slowly I entered the room preparing myself to accept whatever comes next. The door behind me closed shut as soon as I entered. I nearly jumped from the sudden impact.

It was huge inside and looked like an old library. I love libraries but I didn't pay much attention to the surroundings. My mind was focusing on other things then. It was dimly lit with the aroma of books and wood in the air. I looked around to find someone else.

Far away in the corner of the room there was a glass window but it showed nothing except dark outside. I noticed a figure was standing near it. It looked like a female but I couldn't make out who she was. Her face and torso was in the dark. I was sure she could see me because I was standing directly under the source of light.

"Who are you? " I tried to ask her loudly but my voice didn't oblige my intentions. Still it was loud enough for her to hear. I was beyond clueless at that point.

Slowly she walked out of the shadows and towards me. Her slow movements were frustrating me. I was about to ask her why she called me here but as soon my eyes landed on her face, the words died in my throat.
