Descend

Chapter 2

A tall man stood strong and hansom with his golden locks curled to the nape of his face he was unnaturally beautiful everything about him was too perfect too beautiful but it was his eyes those eyes that haunted my dreams countless of nights those eyes that I knew like the back of my hand. It was him the man in my nightmare the man with the Golden eyes.

I tried no to draw attention his focus was on the old lady and he hadn't notice me yet. I knew I wasn't sleeping this wasn't dream this was real, I just need to get away far away. I slowly moved back trying not to alert the men or the guards in front of me, I was glad they were in front of me they hid me from his view. 

"Well High Mother are you done running?"

That voice I wouldn't have to see his eyes I would know that voice any where. My need to get away made me reckless I needed to find that door and go back they way I came from.

"Yes my Lord for I shall go where the Golden one goes"

I smug smile fell on the old lady face and the master tilted his head and study her face.

"oh and why the change of heart, I'm flatted that you would follow me so willingly"

The High Mother held her head up high and stared at the master a small smile crept on to her lips.

"I wasn't talking about you"

At that moment all eyes fell on me and people even parted out the way I was close to the trees edges and that stupid women gave me away. The master eyes moved to were I stood and for once that stone face actually showed emotion shock our eyes lock and I knew this was real there was no waking up this time. A smirk fell on his face and I just stood there frozen.

"Well.. it isn't my little Malum"

All it took was for him to say those words and I bolted I pushed past people and headed back into the snowy woods I couldn't let him catch me I need to get home I needed this nightmare to end. I could see the tall bushes ahead and I kept on running I could see my freedom just couple of meters away. I felt the magic before it attacked me it was like invisible chains warped around my feet stoping me from running.

"you know it rude to run away"

He stood behind whispering in my ear like he would do in my dreams his hot breath fanning my neck but this felt so much more real and that feeling that always fell on me was intensified. I closed my eyes this isn't real this isn't real. 

His hand softly trailed down my arms like a lover touch but I knew we were not lovers he was taunting me. He was in front of me now and I open my eyes and his golden eyes pieced me he held that stoney expression but I didn't need to read his face to know what he was feeling I already knew because I knew everything about him I know every last fibre of his being inside out like it was my own. I may have not know what he looked like but I know his soul.

"Your not evil"

I whispered, a breezes moved my hair around my face and carried my words to the darkness of this world. I held my gaze those eyes that held so many emotions but none at the same time the world stops spinning and we in our own time and place where we can be free and forget; but the moment shatters like glass hitting the floor. The magic around me breaks and he grabs my arm dragging me back to camp, there was no going home for me and I knew it. I was shoved into the cage with the other women and he didn't give me another glance he headed back into the tent leaving silences behind him.

Four days we had been travelling to where gods knows and no one cared to tell me, I was having great company all these women seem to do is cry and then look at me like I was the plague! It only took a couple a minutes for it to click as why every one stared at my hair no one had blonde hair they all had brown, black, red and grey it was just me and the master. The trees were finally thinning out and I finally got to see something more than trees for a once.
