Inferno Dreams

Chapter 1

I knew they were watching me. They had been for the last twenty minutes. But right now it was different because they stood up and I was hoping they would leave but they didn't. Instead, they went over here in the direction of my table. I almost stopped breathing as they reached me. They sat down. One to my left and the other two in front of me. I immediately looked down and started fiddling with my hands.

"You may look up." One of them spoke. I didn't recognize who because I didn't dare to even look at one of them but I knew who they were: The Oneil brothers. I felt a hand grab my neck from behind.

"He told you to look up." Another one of them spoke in my ear. He was so near that I could feel his warm breath on my skin. Out of fear, I still didn't look up. His grip tightened. I whimpered but then looked up. "Good girl." He spoke in my ear. I instantly turned red. The one sitting directly in front of me chuckled at that. I think his name is Azrail. I only recognize him because he has such beautiful green eyes. I looked at the guy sitting beside him. He had fluffy brown hair. His eyes almost matched this brown color. I often heard about him on the news. Especially because he is the oldest of the three and runs a powerful business - Cole. And beside me - still gripping my neck- is Ciar. At this moment he scares me even more than the other two. I could feel Ciar watching me closely.

"Don't bruise her neck. We don't want to hurt her, do we?" The same guy as before spoke - Azrail. Ciar stopped gripping me as hard as before but he didn't completely remove his hand. Before I could think about it I whispered:

"Please leave me alone." It was barely audible but they somehow still heard me. Their facial expression changed from confident to ... hurt? Why would they feel hurt when I was the one being hurt? "If I were you I'd be nicer. It could make your life much easier." Ciar spoke, sounding almost angry - again really close to my ear. I stiffened at his words. Was that supposed to be a threat? Maybe I over-interpret it. I often do that.

Cole's phone rang. He took it out of his pocket.

"What?" He spoke to the person on the other side of the phone. His eyes met mine. I didn't dare look away even though I was intimidated. He didn't want to look away. "You did what?! Then fix it! I don't care! If you don't fix that until I get there you're dead. Got it? Good." He hung up. "We have to go. But we will meet again soon darling." He smiled at me. I tried to force myself to smile back but it didn't work. He looked kind of disappointed for a second but then changed back to smiling again. They got up and left.
