As If Life Couldn't Get Any Worse

Chapter 10

Panic filled Zaphira's bones when she woke up in unfamiliar surroundings once again. The details of the day before came crashing back at her. She began to sob. Shaking her head, ohh no ohh no ohh no. I killed my best friend. She knew that there was no way that she hadn't drank her dry. Zaphira recalled how starving she had been and couldn't control herself. Zaphira looked down at her body to see that she was in clean clothes. She had an oversized sweatshirt on and nothing else. God, when am I going to wake up in something familiar.

Unsure if she was alone in the room, she listened intently. Not hearing anything at all so she opened her eyes very slightly not wanting any of her new captors to know that she was awake. Zaphira was laying, on what appeared to be, black satin sheets and blankets, there was a hint of manly smell in the air. She quietly lifted her head, taking in all of her surroundings. The bed she was laying upon was a king sized bed. She noticed there was a mans silk robe laying across the arm of a nearby chair. She was definitely in the home of some man. Great...Either Cezar caught her again or she had been caught by someone else.

Fear began to scream inside her soul. I need to get out of here. She felt really strong from all of the blood she had ingested. Zaphira cringed at the thought of whose blood she had drank. I am such a monster. But even though she was a monster she wanted to live, Now she needed to figure out how to get the hell out of here and out of this town..state..country...Anywhere but here was good with her.

Zaphira had just put her feet on the ground, ready to begin her search for more clothing when she heard someone come into the room. With her heightened speed and senses Zaphira ran across the room. She wanted to be able to see everything.Her back was against the wall and she watched the door intently.

“WHOEVER YOU ARE STAY AWAY FROM ME,” Zaphira screamed.

The figure came closer and closer through the shadows, when she was finally able to see his face.

“You? I am going to kill you. This is all your fault.” Zaphira screamed as she ran at him.

He caught Zaphira as she slammed into him, his hand grabbed hers. “Zaphira, stop this is not necessary.”

“NO...OCTAVIAN. It is your fault for being a monster and giving me that damned job to begin with.” Zaphira pounded on his chest but he just stood there allowing her to do it. What is wrong with this guy? Cezar would have thrown her across the room by now.

“I had no idea of anything Zaphira. I only wished to help you when Chloe came to me expressing your desire to find work, “ Octavian expressed genuinely.

At the mention of Chloe Zaphira slumped in Octavian's arms. “I am a monster. He made me into a monster. Just...just kill me please and get it over with.“

“Who Zaphira, who did what to you?” He looked into those emerald eyes. What stared back at him was a broken woman. He was very concerned at what he was seeing.
