We stay silently in his bed. We were under the covers as he held me tightly to his body. My mind still pondered of how he was able to do such a thing such as control my actions and thoughts. It was something you only read in books and saw in movies, things that happened in the fictional world. But I guess that's what the forest is, a place where all fictional is now real.

"You should consider going to sleep darling, your a growing girl." He spoke out into the darkness braking the silence that stilled the room.

"I'm 17, I think I'll be fine.." I spoke back quietly. I tried not to sound to harsh, but the way I spoke came out with a slight attitude.

He stayed silent for a minute or so then flipped my body over so I faced him. He grabbed aside of my face and forced me to look him in the eye. "When I say something you do it, understand!"

I nodded slightly signally him that I yes did understand him. I turned back over and closed my eyes hoping that the last week I've been here was all just a dream.

☯ ☯ ☯

I woke up with the room still dark and silent. I could still feel the presents of Harry lingering in the room. I was still on my side like how I fell asleep. I was only out for what seemed like 1-2 hours.

I didn't want to move or get up, I knew he was still in the room. I also knew he wasn't sleep. I could hear his breathing, it was one of the only sounds that I hear in the pitch black silenced room. The way he was breathing wasn't calm and slow like it was when you're asleep. I could feel the way his eyes raked up body making me shiver. He noticed and pulled me closer to his body. He was watching me.

I felt as his hand wandered down my sides and breathing picked up. He didn't know I was awake, which scared me, because what if I was asleep and he was doing this? He moved my dark hair aside and brushed it off my shoulder exposing my neck for himself. He placed several feather like kisses over and over. He kisses over the same spot he previously made just hours ago, it still hurt and I wince slightly as he kissed it. This kiss and spot in particular lingered unlike the rest. He stayed there just a little longer then the rest. He removed his lips from my skin and spoke ever so softly.

"I can't wait to officially mark you as mine, to take away your innocence." He whispered, his lips brushing past my skin still over the mark when he spoke. I felt him begin to kiss over the mark once again and soon began to suck. He sucked over it and then began to flick his tongue over it too. I felt the familiar two sharp teeth slowly begin to puncture my skin.

It startled me and I knew what he was doing, not this again. I slowly sat up and rubbed my eyes, pretending that I was being awoken. I look over to see that Harry was no longer there. He just disappeared like he had done previously in our past encounters.

I slowly get out of the large king sized bed and walked around the room over to the door. I place my small hand upon the cold metal door knob that was a tint golden color but had some spots where the color was chipped away. I slowly open the door, trying to open it silently but failing when it makes a simple squeak that echoes through the hall. I open it just a little more, making just enough space for my small body to fit through.

I exit through the door safely without making too much noise besides the squeak from when I first opened the door. If I wanted to escape I knew I had to make it fast, Harry is still somewhere around here.

My feet padded down the hallway and I mentally curse when I notice I don't have shoes. I continue my way out anyway. It was dark and I could barley see where I was going, but I still managed to somehow find the stair case. I feel around for the railing and once I do I make my way down quickly but quietly. I only wore a grey sweater and black leggings, which wasn't going to help once I get outside into the brisk autumn air. There was another candle that sat on the same nightstand that I had seen when I first step foot into this house. It was already lit, but I didn't question it, I grabbed it and walked around to find the front door.

I spot the door and hurry over to it, I open the door and sprint for the woods. I didn't bother to shut the door, I only focused on leaving. My bare feet padded on the forest floor, almost flying over the ground at quick speed. I dodged trees as best as I could, but every now and again had my shirt being tagged on by branches. My feet stung as they step on random things on the woodsy grounds. My thoughts begins to ponder of life back home and school too. (Even though my time there was very very short.)

"The Featherstone Forest is very famous for its myths."

I remember Allyson's words, quickly making my bare feet come to a stop. I start to tremble, not just because of the cold weather but because I have a feeling I'm not the only creature that's out here tonight.

I slowly walk around waving the candle in front of me providing light in the black abyss of the forest. I regret leaving but also proud of myself that I was brave enough to even come out.

"Eeearrrchhz!"

I jump and let out a small scream when I hear that loud ear piecing notice come from not far away. It came from behind me. I slowly turn around to see a tall dark grey creature. It stood about 6 feet tall, it was skinny and frail, you could see its bones through its thin ugly skin. The face was black, and had no hair. But it had a mouth, it let out another scream and you could see its yellow sharp teeth, the mouth of a piranha. Saliva dripping from its mouth and blood covered several of its teeth.

I slowly backed away and it moved closer to me. The creature reached out its hands, oh it's hands. The long dirty slender fingers reached out toward me and it's long nails that looked move like claws edged closer to my body. My heart race increased by a thousand times and my body was shaking with fear.

Right as I was about to scream a hand cover my mouth. Clamping it shut and preventing me from screaming out in fear.

"Don't scream. It can't see you but it can hear you."

I let out a shaky breath of relief when I heard Harry's voice. We slowly backed away and the creature soon turned around and left, walking back into the emptiness of the forest.

"You need to learn a few rules, now don't you Naomi."

He picked me causing me to drop the candle which he ignored. In a flash we ended up back at the castle. He put me down so I was back on my feet, but he held my hand as if I were a child. We walked back into the castle and he lead me into the kitchen.

It was huge, it had dark marble counter tops and the a dark wooden floors. The cabinets and others where the same wood that the rest of the house had. It was a cozy place, but it also had that creepy feel to it. We sat down at the table where meals would be eat.

"What was that, outside?" I question breaking our silence. The memory of the awful creature haunted me.

"It was a screamer, they only come out during the cold nights. Don't know where they go during the day." He says in a strict tone. I could tell he was still upset at the fact that I had left.

"Why'd you leave Naomi, you could've died and you didn't even have shoes on!" He exclaims throwing his hands up in frustration.

"I can't stay here-"

"Of course you can you have to, your mine. And even if you did leave where would you go." He bites back. He was right on the last part. Where would I go.

"Did you kill my parents?" I ask out of curiosity. He sends me a glare and then his features soften. He lets out a sigh "No, I can't leave the forest."

"Then how did, then- what?" I say in utter confusion.

"Liam, my friend. He lives even deeper into the forest. He's um like me... but different." I give him a confused look.
I didn't quite understand what he meant by 'like me but different'.

"I'll tell you later, but he's the one who sent you back home, and he killed your parents."

"Why!? They didn't deserve to die!-"

"Naomi, calm down! It had to be done, your mine now, they no longer matter. Now come on, you're going back to bed. This will be discussed in the morning."
