Beauty And Her Obsessors

Chapter 31: Safe and Sound

3rd POV

Earlier, Freya was with Heinry, but after she accidentally leaned on the cave wall, where she thought it was safe.

Freya realized it was not...

She fell, descending deeper inside the cave. She heard Heinry's voice from above, but as she walked deeper, attempting to find her way out of the dark cave, Freya fell not once but twice! 

"Dammit! Where the hell am I?" Freya thought.

The cave was so dark Freya couldn't see a thing. She leaned her body against the rocky walls, tracing her hands along them to guide herself. With no light inside, Freya started to feel anxious.

The cave she fell into was dead silent, and as she walked slowly, Freya felt her footsteps clashing with the tiny rocks on the ground.

"Heinry! Alex! Shino!" Freya yelled, her heart thumping in growing panic.

Not seeing anything in the dead atmosphere of the cave soon made Freya's body shiver. She felt the cold temperature and the rough edges of the rocks hitting against her skin. Her eyes slightly formed tears as she then stopped and sat down, curling into a ball.

Freya thought that facing her fears of the dark might be too bold of her. She couldn't do it.

After all, staying all alone with no one by her side in this dark place made Freya think of the many times she has been left out back on Earth. The traumatic experiences she faced in the past was what stirred her mind.

(TIME PASSED)

A couple of minutes passed, Freya's hazy eyes dripped with tears. Soon she felt a little sleepy from all the crying she had done. It was so dark and quiet that she still heard her own sobbing.

She slowly closed her eyes to take a nap. From the distance she heard a faint sound calling her name over and over again. The voice was deep and hoarse, as if it yearned for someone, something missing from their life.

"Freya! Frey-" The deep voice called out.

Freya was about to take a nap, the second she was about to close her eyes, something inside her body sent shivers down her spine. The voice inside of her warned her to run, as if HE was approaching.

Freya heard a loud ring through her ears. Her own voice screaming at her to RUN in panic. Her anxious heart thumped more and more as the footsteps ahead became louder. Her body trembled with anxiety, as if it were urging her to run. It made her skin rise with goosebumps.

Yet, Freya, curling into a ball, chose to ignore it all. For once she refuses.

Despite her body being in full anxiety, trembling. Freya couldn't run; her body froze in the darkness. How could she run if she couldn't see anything? She feared being alone in the dark the most. 

"Who are you?" Freya questioned in a faint voice.

Those silver gleaming eyes in the dark were the only light she looked at before falling asleep. Before sleeping, Freya noticed those silver eyes weren't that of light. They stared at her with lust-filled eyes, as if ready to devour her.

"Freya-"

The naked Lucas came closer to Freya and the moment he saw Freya's body trembling he became worried. He turned her around seeing the extent of her trembling once he saw her puffy eyes dripping with tears.

"I'm sorry for not getting here sooner" He whispered. ​​The feeling of worry ached at his heart, seeing Freya like this.

Lucas knew of Freya's fears of the dark and her tendency to cry whenever she is alone. From the past Lucas knew everything about his wife. He remembers that whenever he left her to go hunting, Upon his return, Lucas would sometimes find Freya curled up in the corner, weeping.
