In The Dark

-Chapter 3-

Previously: "Something you should be terrified of.."

My eyes widened at that sentence. Luca let go of my arm for a split second before I felt a prick on my wrist. My body started feeling numb, I internally cursed at him. 

Dammit.

He definitely did something to me. My body was numb and I couldn't feel anything. 

"What the hell did you do?" I managed to  get out. Talking was difficult for me right now. I was currently on the ground with my head hung low. I couldn't even lift up my neck.

 "You wont be getting anywhere now. I would say I'm sorry to do this but its your own fault for running away and causing that spectacle earlier." he uttered smugly. 

Yup , this one definitely had the most ugliest manners compared to the other two.

"I literally don't get what your problem is, what do you even want?" I half yelled. My voice was scratchy. I hated how I sounded in this moment.

He chose to ignore me as he lifted my body onto his shoulder carrying me to god knows where. I was frustrated but I chose not to speak further and observed the only thing I could look at. The ground. Dead leaves and shrubs coated the forest floor with some flowers here and there. I liked the blue ones. My dad used to pick those and make them into flower crowns for me. I missed him so much. I blinked away the tears threatening to escape my eyes. This was definitely not the time to cry. I had to figure out what this guy's plan was with me. Maybe this was the universe's way of punishing me for what I did. For all I knew this could be my last moments alive. At least I managed to get Jocelyn away from this. I'm surprised they didn't go after her.

Jocelyn was smart though. Hopefully she's safe from these people.

 After a while I was starting to get  annoyed with the silence besides the sound of the leaves crunching beneath Luca's feet. Was I not heavy to this guy? I mean I wasn't too chubby and I was definitely not skinny. I was practically built like a cupboard. Literally. I was actually pretty scared for what was going to happen to me.

"So...are you going to aliven't me or something? I think I should know if I am supposed to be preparing for death." I spoke after the long silence.

Luca sighed and continued walking onwards pretending not to hear me. I huffed in frustration. My whole body was still numb, I couldn't lift anything yet. I frowned and focused a bit trying to do something to make this dude pay attention. Suddenly his knee gave out and he almost dropped me causing me to let out a small scream in fear of falling to the ground. 

He then set me down against the nearest tree grabbing hold of my face scowling at me. His forest green eyes filled with a little bit of anger. Not going to lie, he really had pretty eyes. Its a shame his personality from what I experienced  so far, was not as pretty.

" No you are not going to die just yet, I still need to figure out what you are exactly because as it seems you don't know yourself. Now stop being an annoyance, because of you I'm already late to something. If you try to pull any stunts after this, I'll be sure to cut your little life short. Got it?" Luca said firmly.

I gulped, not liking the sound of death just yet. I didn't deserve to die. Death seemed like an easy way out. I deserved something worse than death for what I did. 

"Yes." I muttered softly. I probably looked quite pathetic not being able to move at all. I wondered how long this would last. Would I be basically paralyzed for the rest of my life now or was this just temporarily. 

Once again I was rather roughly thrown over his shoulder. I was genuinely curious of where we were heading to. A long while passed and we were still walking. My eyes stared getting droopy. I exhausted myself too much. I fought to stay awake but gave in as the sounds of nature lulled me asleep and the familiar darkness consumed me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I awoke, I was in an unfamiliar room. I had a slight headache. Luckily I could move now. I wonder how long its been since I fell asleep.

I rubbed my eyes a couple of times to rid myself of the blurriness. I carefully took in my surroundings. There was a tiny bed that I was currently sitting on, a very big painting on one of the walls. It was beautiful. It showed the bright full moon over the ocean, with a starry sky behind lighting up the background of the picture. 

In the corner of the room sat a red chair with a big red cushion on it.  The room had a tiny window which I got up to go look out of it. All I saw where treetops stretching out really far into the distance. So I'm assuming I'm still in the forest. 

I wondered why I never spotted this place before it looked really high from where I was looking out of. Surely I should have noticed this place before. The view was amazing from here though.

I sighed and rubbed my temples. The headache wouldn't subside. I took a few steps towards the door expecting it to be locked but to my surprise it wasn't. This was a little suspicious.

I barely took three steps when I was grabbed by the coldest hands I've ever felt. 

I looked up to see a young man. He was pale. Really really pale, his eyes held almost no colour besides a glint of red. He definitely was not human that's for sure. Great I got grabbed again.

"Who are you and how did you get in here?" His voice melodic and smooth. I blinked a couple of times before talking.

" Uh I'm Alison, I have absolutely no clue how I ended up here. One moment I was being carried by some green eyed man with horrible manners, I close my eyes for a few moments and then I wake up here. I'm scared shitless right now and I drastically need to pee-" 

The man didn't even give me time to finish my rant before I was being dragged once again through corridors at such a fast speed I could barely see anything. The next thing I knew I  was being thrown into a darkened room which resembled a jail cell. What the hell was even going on?

I didn't have time to react before the door was shut in my face.

I heard his voice say, " You can be glad the Council is busy at this time or you surely would have been sent to deaths door for breaking into the Council castle. " after that I heard his footsteps fading away.

I rushed to bang on the door knowing it probably would get me nowhere.

" AT LEAST LET ME PEE-" I yelled hitting my fist against the closed door. I genuinely needed the bathroom.  

  "Yeah that's definitely going to get you out of here." I heard a voice speak from the dark corner of the room.
