The Quiet Spring

Chapter Fifteen

(Soon.....)

Corrina's POV

I slowly opened my eyes to see my kidnapper leaning over me. I immediately reared back and bumped into the back of hard black wood. "Why do you try to get away from me? You are my fiancee after all?" He asked, running two of his long, cold fingers on the side of my left cheek. I turned my head away from him and launched myself off the monstrously large bed. When I got to my feet and tried to run away, something ripped my feet from under me. I fell face first with a thud and glowered down at the chain and anklet around my left ankle. "I'm not that stupid. Now you take another nap, while I go and get your dress. We'll have the ceremony in a couple days." I still didn't know his name. Suddenly, I was whisked off the floor and placed under the red comfy red covers of the bed and my kidnapper was walking away from me. I heard a snapping sound and I felt tired. I thought about the last time I saw my boyfriend as I drifted off to sleep...

My eyes widened when I heard the Tono and Orano had marks of their own. Suddenly, a pair of strong arms latched around my waist and pulled me into the shadows. As I was about to scream, Strong fingers were put over my mouth as my kidnapper kept running with incredible speed down the ally. "Help me get her!" Oliver was running after us. The man holding me released his grip from my mouth and started climbing up a gutter with one arm. I took the chance to scream. "Shut up!" The man muttered as he came to a stop and held my head down on his broad shoulder. "Who are you and what do you want with my girlfriend?!" Oliver was yelling.

I took in shaky breaths when the man replied. "My name is Darin and what do I plan to do with the purple one..." He paused and I heard someone growling. "I'm going to marry her." My eyes widened with shock and a snapping noise rang out in the ally. A black portal appeared next to me and Darin, so naturally, he jumped for it. His grip loosened enough for me to scream out once again before I was enveloped in darkness and passed out...

"Miss. Purple?" Miss. Purple? Please wake up..." A woman was trying to wake me up. I slowly opened my eyes and shot straight up from my lying position. I felt the world start spinning and I fell back down onto the big pillows. "Your awake!" I looked over to see a girl in maybe her twenties looking down at me with red eyes. Great... More of them... I nodded and the girl pointed to herself with her thumb. "My name is Rukia. I'm Darin's maid." She told me. I nodded once again and slowly got up this time. "Darin told me to help you get into your dress. Come with me Miss. Purple." Rukia helped me out of the bed and bent down in her already short dress to unlock my anklet. "My name's Corrina..." I mumbled to her. When I felt a weight being lifted off my ankle, I made a break for it. I ran for the narrow door and swung it open, not caring if I made a dent in the wall. My strength was increasing because of my birthday in a couple days. "Wait! Corrina!"

I didn't turn back and I turned sharply to my right. I sped down the dark hall when the cold black granite floor turned to an eerie stone. I slowed my pace and jogged down the dim hallway. What is this? I looked down the hall and noticed a slight blue glow coming from the other end. "Maybe that's a way out?" I wondered out loud. A bone chilling wind came from behind me and I shrunk to the floor, clutching my legs to my chest and putting my head into my knees. "I don't like it when you try to run off Corrina." My eyes widened in shock and the wind stopped. I turned my head around and stared right into the blazing red eyes of Darin. "How- How did you-?" "How did I find you?" He started and in a flash was holding me off the floor by my long hair. I winced in pain and cried out, tears forming from my closed eyes. I reached up and tried to loosen his grip from me. "All I had to do was hear your running footsteps and I quickly found you. Now, what will make you shut up?!" He spat in my face. I cringed back and yelped in more pain. "I- I want - t-to see my boyfriend!" I yelled out.
