The Devil's Thirst Trap

Chapter 9

"You care for this girl... don't you Mr. Griffin? You have never allowed any women in this mansion before and you've changed a lot."

She saw Damien talking to Alexander with his head down which made him look somewhat disappointed. But her heart tingled a little hearing that Alexander treated her special or she thought so, before she went to go back to lie down she froze on the spot listening to the other part of the conversation.

"Damien, you're more naive than I thought you would be. I thought you knew all along! I'm only keeping her so I can use her, I need her blood."Alex remarked sinisterly and laughed. "I have women throwing themselves at my feet. She means absolutely nothing to me, she is obviously useless and just a little game to play with when I am bored. As soon as she falls for me...I am going to kill her."

'CRASH'

The loud sound of a window breaking made Alexander's and Damien's heads turn and look back at each other.

"Shit! She's running away! Damien go get a warm room ready and also get the car ready and wait for me just before the woods!", Alex said as he ran for his coat.

"Where are you going?! You're going to freeze to death out there!", Damien said following him.

"I'm going after her and she's also going to freeze to death if I don't reach her on time. She's weaker than me! Go get the car ready now!", Alexander exclaimed running into the woods after her.

Zoey ran and ran for her life with tears streaming down her face that now blurred her eyes.

"ZOEY!", she heard Alex scream.

She turned her head back for a split second while running to see where he was. Zoey did not see a tree in front of her earlier so when she turned her head forward it was too late and she hit her head on the tree which made her lose consciousness.

Zoey was soon awake and she felt that she was floating on air to come to the realization that she was being carried by two strong arms as she started to move her hands around and felt his chest. It was him! Alexander!

She wriggled around in fear as beads of sweat started to drop on her forehead even though it was freezing cold and he was walking in the snow. She struggled to get out of his grasp because Alexander's grip on her simply got tighter and tighter and tighter. He didn't want to let go of her, and she knew it. So she gave up fighting and started planning on how to escape him.

She could see Damien waiting outside the car near the road. They were approaching the road, she needed to act quickly. She wrapped her hands gently around the nape of his neck and smiled at him warmly which made him confused, then she hit her head hard against his which made Alex drop her down to hold his head in the palm of his hands.

"AH! What the hell is wrong with you-", Alex yelled at her before Zoey could bulldoze him to the ground.

Zoey pinned him down and took a ball of snow and hit it on his face and then started to run away. Damien looked at the two of them in amusement as he sipped on the coffee he brought for Alex.

"Oh boy...I can already sense that this is going to take these two a long time to get used to each other's presence!", Damien muttered as he went back in the car and started the engine so he could put the heater on.

Two and a half hours later

Alexander carried her over his back like a sack of potatoes as he dragged her back into the house not planning to listen to her and what she has to say. He was officially angry and no one could stop his anger now, he put her down and held her hand so tight that his nails dug into her skin which caused her to whimper in pain.

"A-Alexander....Please let go of me....You're hurting me!", Zoey exclaimed as tears formed on either side of her eyes."P...please let go..."

But he did not pay attention to her nor the amount of pain he was putting her through, he yanked her every time she tried to resist and he took her to the basement where there were prison cells.

Zoey looked around the place in disgust, confusion, and fear, she realized that she had not known what she got herself into this time. Tears started to fill her eyes but she tried her best to hold them back. He took her by the collar of her clothes and threw her inside one of the prison cells and looked at her like how he would have looked if he had looked at his prey.

He stepped closer and closer to her, closing the distance between them until her back hit the wall and he froze.

"Wh...what do you want from me...?", Zoey asked him as she cowered in fear.

He looked down at the wrist that he had hurt and picked it up to caress it and then licked it. Alexander looked at Zoey's eyes to see that she was petrified, but he could not help it. He was trying to control his need but he couldn't anymore.

"I want your blood, Zoey Smith.", Alexander said in the deadliest tone as he bit her wrist which was bleeding.
