she doesn't belong here

(9)

* next day *
i woke up and got ready to go to that almost zoo building
i reached on time
before teacher entered nathan came and he apologized for his behaviour the previous day
i said that it was okay .
i spend time with my friends during break and then took the rest of the classes and came back home like an average teenager

two days passed such way , no contact with demarcus , no thrill , no action

i sat by the window and thought about everything
how i felt curious , angry , i even cried in past few days while i never even smiled in my life . i have even started laughing with elsa and claire . it all feels so strange , overwhelming that it makes me wonder that are emotions boon or a bane ? but no matter whatever i do i don't like it here its almost like suddenly i have started trying to fit in but i know i don't belong here .

i went to take a bath .
i looked at my bare body in the mirror it was almost as if it has power but it don't
' darling every inch of you its soo perfect ' demarcus voice said with a tone that i could imagine him with his stupid smile right now

i quickly grab a towel and cover myself
'ok i am sorry for that but i want you to come after you are done taking a bath' he said

so you can force me to kiss you ? i said with annoyance

no not at all actually sorry for that too but please i really want you to come. he said

there is something weird about him today , he didn't said anything to me from past 2 days and even today he is apologizing for his action and even requesting instead of just manupilating me .
' ok ' , i said

i quickly took a bath because i felt like that perve might be still stalking i don't even know how he does it when he does it . i dress up and go into my room locking the door .

i look at the mirror thinking about demarcus and again the empty void of my eyes swallows me and i fall into the room i was the last time i was here

' natielle ' demarcus said

i turned to find demarcus standing behind me
why did you call me ? i said
i want to tell you everything , he said with a gleam in his eyes he didn't changed his appearance yet he looked different as if the words he was wearing changed everything about him .

' what do you mean by everything ' i asked

everything , he replied

everything ?
yes everything
whatever i ask ?
yes darling i said everything
no you don't mean it
i do why wouldn't I ? he asked
i-but why would you ?
i just want to tell you that is it , he said now with annoyance .

i took a deep breath and said , 'ok'

ok , before you start throwing questions at me i would like to tell you few things that i should have told you long before . he said and he motioned his hand towards a curtain which revaled more space
i gasped looking at it and it was the first time i realized that this room is HUGE
the newly revealed space had weird looking cauldrons , beakers shimmering liquids . It was almost like a chemistry lab but with texture of witchcraft .
he leaded me to huge goblet , 15 times bigger than a usual goblet . it was filled with a weird liquid that kept on changing colours

' dunk your head in it ' , he said

' oh please demarcus i am not that stupid '

' what ? ' he asked
you think you will tell me to PUT my head into something and i will do it .

he dunked his own head and took it out
' see ? did anything happen ? he asked with an annoyed face

you and i are different demarcus , i said

' please natielle i am not playing games ' , he said with a pleading , annoyed , angry voice

i am so not falling in your trap again , i said crossing my arms over my chest .

his hand curled up into fist and he stared into my soul .
natielle.do.it

' n-no '

' DO IT '
and my body moved on its own and here i go * splash *

i felt like i was seeing fast moving pictures and then it stopped
there stood in front of me a man on a throne made of gold with gems in it . he had same eyes as demarcus but his hairs were grey .
i noticed another man with sword dripping with blood in his hand and an armor made up of steel . the room looked very much similar to demarcus's room but it was rather more lavish with thrones antiques decorations .

then beside me demarcus appeared . he gave me a quick nod and said , ' listen carefully ' .

' those filths killed them ' , the man sitting on throne said with vexation .

the armored man went on one knee
' eminence of the bosnian race , my royal highness allow me to revenge the death of each of our comrade by killing each one of them . ' he said with rage and tears in his eyes .

' No ralphino , you shan't make any decision in anger , do not forget the treaty . the moment you kill one of them your heart stops beating and we can not afford to loose another man of ours . '

' what kind of treaty is this my lord . it is preferential ' , said ralphino with a profound melancholy .

" i down on our infelicitous luck but i have to say there is absolutely nothing i can do " said the king .

" there is still something you can do my high king " a strange feminine voice said .

she then walked through a giant door .
when i got a clear sight of her i felt like i had seen her somewhere . Also she had a big belly . she was pregnant

" what do you mean ? " said ralphino .

" pardon me for my intrusion crowned head " said the lady , then she kept her hand on her chest and tried to get on one knee .

' no need ' said the king

' very well then ' she said bowing her head .

" may I know the reason for your arrival lady rosarine " asked the king

" there is a way through which we can take revenge , avenge every death of our comrades " . said rosarine with a little smirk
