The Demon's Bride

MISUNDERSTANDING

Time passed quickly, but for Violet every second was like hours. Today marks two weeks since she got kidnapped and was told about her previous birth life. But today something was different, as today Violet finally planned to get out of her. In the past two weeks she managed to know about every single place or escape route here. She knew that there was an electricity controlling system. All she has to do is go there and switch off the main power switch. Currently she was sitting in her so called room waiting for Brittany to come and escort her to the Dinning hall. Within half a second, Brittany entered in with a greeting and led her to the same flight of staircases. After a few minutes they were there.
As usually, the table was filled with varieties of food, but one thing was missing, Zacharia. Where was he? Violet took a seat while looking at Brittany who was serving her steaming hot food. " Umm, where is Zacharia?", she asked her while gesturing towards his usual spot." Lord had some important work to do ma'am, he'll join you shortly," she said as politely and respectively as always. d

Great! This was her chance! It's like time and luck are both on her side. She nodded at her and started eating her food. She need some energy to runaway. This was the first time she was eating happily here. She finished her food while getting up from her spot, deciding that now it was the time to implement her plan. She asked Brittany to give her a tour of this side of the Manor. Taking it as an order from her Queen, she agreed.

They first took a round of the secondary part of the manor, which was the great ancient Gothic side. They were walking down the grand staircase and hallways as Brittany tol

her about each and every room in exact detail. After walking for what seemed like forever, they finally reached the end of the secondary part.  Now comes the turn of the primary part. Violet could feel her head wildly racing against her chest. Finally, with all of her time waiting and planning, she was a mere inches away from her freedom. As they were passing through the power control area, Violet mentally prepared herself and took the very first step of her plan. "Uhh...umm.....Brittany, I need water" she said nervously while faking a sick expression. "Alright then my fair lady. I'll be back soon," she said while bowing her head before disappearing from the hallways. Now was the time for the second step. She opened the dark chocolaty colored door which was adorned with a golden plate over it, having 'Power Control Room' written over it in black words . She slowly opened the door, being careful to not make any sound. She was surprised at its size, for it was pretty small as compared to the other rooms she saw here. In center, there was a big controlling device with green light glowing from one small bulb. Right beside it there was a red colored bulb. On the right side of the bulb, there was a silver colored handle pointed upwards to which she presumed to be the controller.  She gripped on to the handle and pulled it down. As soon as she did, the green bulb went out and red one started glowing.  

        With that out of the way, the only thing left in her plan that she hadn't executed was to run away. She slowly came out of the room and was satisfied when she saw all the fancy lights were out. The only source of light was the moonlight which was illuminating the surroundings from those huge windows. She knew the way to the main door, which would probably be open. For an extra plus on her side, the lights are out, therefore there was no security system active over there. She walked down the staircase carefully and after that walked down a hallway. One more flight of staircase and then she will find the main door. She was thankful for the windows, which allowed the area to be illuminated by the shining silver moonlight. She walked down the staircase and leaped for joy once the door came into sight.  

        While standing in front of the door, she paused for a moment, breathing words that she didn't truly mean."I am sorry Zacharia," she whispered to herself before opening the door with what energy she had left, which finally allowed her to see the surroundings, which was nothing but a dark thick forest. The area around the house had fencing, which had its dark black gates open. She stepped outside the door and without looking back, she started running as fast as she could. That gate.... that damned black gate.......she had to reach outside before she was caught. She was about to reach the forest when she was stopped and pushed down to the ground. Her body landed on the ground with a thud." Trying to escape dear?" she heard from a deathly calm tone. She turned around in pain to see Zacharia standing towering her. His anger can be seen on his face as his features were glowing in the moonlight. His green orbs had a bit darker shade then they usually were. Sadly, it was clear that she was in trouble . "I-I a-a-am sorry....." she said as stark backing away from him on the dusty ground. 

Zacharia knelt down at her level and grabbed her by her arm roughly while dragging her back inside. Violet screamed, and even begged him to stop, but he ignored her as if nothing was going on. Reaching inside, he led her to the flight of stairs and to another room, which was his own. He shoved her to the cold ground roughly.  "What do you think yourself? Hmm?" he said in his dead tone. Violet looked at him as stark terror took her in its grip. She backed away from him until her back hit the bed. "You know what Reffl, I thought you must have changed, but no, you are still the same. Your face may be beautiful, but you are as ugly as earlier from the inside," he said with anger and a bit of hurt in his eyes. And that's when it hits Reffl. What does he mean by that? He kidnapped her, and now he was behaving like he did nothing wrong. "Oh so I am ugly. You have no damned right to say so. First you kidnapped me, and now you are behaving like you did nothing wrong. And you want me to spend my whole life with a disgusting creature like you?" she snapped back as she was now standing in front of him. 

​​​​Her words worked like daggers on him. He loves so much, but similar to the previous days, she couldn't see it. His hands were now into fists as he gripped onto her neck while backing away in the same position till her back hit the wall.  I loved you so much, but you are too blind to see it. I chose hell instead of heavens just to get back with you, but you.....you proved to be a bloody human now and a selfish Vampire in the past," He said while slapping her hard across the face, blood streaming out from her nose and mouth. Her cheek had a clear imprint of his hand. She was again on the floor. Not satisfied with that, he again knelt down at her level, looking at her now bruised and bloody face. He grabbed her hair tightly making her scream in agony as he forcefully made her stand up and pushed her roughly onto the bed. With him on top of her, he grabbed her wrists tightly. She sobbed and pleaded with him, but nothing effected him as he came closer to her till his face was inches apart from her. "You have to live here for the rest of your life. And I don't give two fucking shits on whether you like it or not," he said in deadly pissed tone. Violet closed her eyes as tears were falling down her face. Zacharia stood up from the bed while looking at her with no emotions in his eyes. He went to the nearby table and took out the chain cuffs from it . He cuffed Violet's wrist to the bed post. She just silently lay there without protesting against it. Her eyes felt heavy as dark spots started invading her vision, as the world faded from her.

Zacharia just looked at her. Her eyes were closed now. The left side of her face was blue and her lip and nose had blood running from them. Her eyes seemed puffy with all the crying. From anger, he decided to do nothing for it as he locked the door behind him, leaving her in her shattered and broken state.
