The Unthought Fate [MxM]

Chapter 6

    Vlad

  "Hello little warrior!" I hear being said.

  My body freezes, my hearts starts pounding and I can feel the blood draining out of me. This is not happening. No, no, no!! There must be a mistake, only dad knows our signal, a short whistle, a few high-pitch notes and another short whistle.

  I must be dreaming, no, this is a nightmare, not a dream, this can't be happening. I try closing my eyes, maybe what I'm seeing will disappear, but I can't. What if I blink and something bad happens?? What in the world am I thinking, this is bad, it's the worst.

  My mind screams at me: RUN!!!!! but I can't, it's like somebody cut the cord between my brain and the rest of the body.

  As silence is the only reply from this unwanted greeting, this person continues. "Oh, come on now! It's not like you didn't know this would happen soon. You knew we were coming after you, didn't you? We spread the rumors in the previous village and I know you heard them. It was only a matter of time." and then started grinning like this was funny or something.

  "What?" it's all my malfunctioning brain can blurt. After a couple of seconds I ask "Where is my dad? Who are you people?"

  "Yes, how rude of me! While I know EVERYTHING about you, you know nothing about me, us." She says gesturing to the men behind her.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Corvina and I'm one of the head hunters paid to search for you and the ones behind me are half of our team." She tells me with such glee that I think I'm going to be sick.

"And to answer your other question, let's just say your dad is in good hands, with my twin brother Corvinus and the other half of our team. They should be here any moment now." She finishes her sentence and that grin is still plastered on her face and I feel like I'm going to throw up. The heaving is starting, but I somehow find it in me to suppress it.

  I see her approaching me, but each step forward of hers is a backward step of mine.

  "Ow, don't be like that, I'm not going to hurt you...yet, at least not without a reason, so I advise you to stay still and don't give me one" she said mocking me and acting as if self preservation is useless anyway and I feel like that my be the case.

  "My, my, you got some of your mother's eye color and even these beautiful curls. Too bad she isn't here to see you" I hear her say.

  "What? You knew my mother?" I ask astonished.

  She starts laughing, but shortly after she calms down enough to tell me "A lot of people knew your mother, she was supposed to marry the crown prince after all. It's not every day a noble woman is betrothed to royalty." And another smirk is on her lips.

  "W-what? That can't be! Y-you must be mistaking. Please leave me alone, I'm not who you think I am. Who you are looking for is not here, it's not me" I manage to say and I feel like my legs are starting to tremble, my hands are already shaking a little bit, my extremities are cold despite my heart beating like crazy.

  Her laughter is louder this time and it takes a lot longer for her to be able to say something. I can see the six members of her team are also snickering and chuckling like I said a stupid joke.

  "Please don't tell me your father didn't told you about her, the truth about her!" She said while wiping her teary eyes from laughter.

  "My father would never lie to me, we have no secrets" I raise my voice at her, anger starting to make way and the heat in my body coming back to me.

  "Uh, feisty! I like that, but it's not a good trait for slaves so you better forget it, for your own good." She told me while getting a little closer enough to take a strand of my shoulder length hair.
