La Nuit Tourne Red

Chapter Fourteen

My entire body freezes as suddenly the entire hallway is illuminated by a flame ember that Asa has levitating above his hand.
"I'm shocked you came on your own free will." He chuckles as he begins to make the rock fly around us.
"Free will? You made me come." I scoff angrily.

"I mean, without me murdering anyone." He narrows his eyes at me as he winks and begins to walk towards me. I take a step back as he begins to look over my outfit.
"You're brilliantly stunning." He smirks as he takes my hand in his causing my body to freeze once more as he raises my hand to his lips and plants a kiss on it.

"Are you going to help Itsuki?" I demand wanting to know the terms of our agreement. He chuckles at my determination slash anger as he crosses his arms, the fire ember rests above his shoulder.
"I'll see what I can do." He winks at me as he reaches for the wall with skulls surrounding it, suddenly a doorknob appears.

Just like the way Itsuki makes rooms appear. He opens the door as he nods for me to go in first. I hesitate as I realize I don't have much of a choice...
I descend down a set of stairs as chills spread across my skin, this doesn't feel right at all.

I reach the bottom of the stairs as I realize I'm in this throne area type room. There's a couple doors attached to it as there's a throne in the middle of the room, and coffins, candles... blood splatter. My heart begins to race as I feel Asa's icy fingers slide across my elbow from behind me.

I jump, gasping as he begins to chuckle.
"This is where you'll stay. Get comfortable you aren't going anywhere." He whispers in my ear as my eyes shoot open as I turn on my heels, swiftly... he's gone, and so are the stairs leading to the door.

As I realize I'm trapped... without my phone or anyway of getting out of here I begin to run to the door attached to the room revealing a tall, black wooden carved bed with white sheets and a dresser. I run towards the other door as I realize it's a bathroom.

I'm truly fucked. I begin to scan the walls looking for a way out as I begin to cry. He brought me here to leave me here? I recede to the floor in defeat and pure terror as I let my head fall between my legs. I should never have come here...

Time passes by as I feel as if I'm beginning to go insane. I trace the floor with my fingertips as the cold floor makes the tips of my fingers turn red. I begin to hear chuckling from in front of me as my eyes shoot up towards the person in the room. I cower to the corner as I hold my hands out in fear.

I may be even more afraid of Kai than I am of Asa... I thought Itsuki killed him?
"Putain stupide." He leans towards me as he continues. "Your bodyguard can't save you now, ey?" He chuckles once more as he spits on the ground next to me.

I close my eyes and try to ignore his words. Fucking asshole.
"That's why you lost." I say out of anger not able to help myself.
Kai's facial structure changes as Asa's did when he transformed, as his eyes turn pitch black. He smirks at me as he bears his fangs at me causing my heart to pound outside of my chest.

He teleports next to me as he lifts me by my neck to the wall as I struggle beneath his grip trying not to be crushed from his brutal strength. I begin to lose my ability to breathe as his grip tightens around my neck.

"I can sense..." He leans into my face as he stares me into my soul. "Ta peur." He suddenly releases me as I fall to the floor finally catching my breath. I breathe in heavily as I grip my neck, feeling as if I got punched in it ten times...

"Be good. Asa will be back shortly." He scoffs at me as he narrows his eyes at me.
"Try anything, you'll regret it." He wipes his hands as he teleports away, leaving me alone. A sigh of relief falls out of my mouth as I lean my head against the wall, happy that Kai's gone.
