His Dark Love

Chapter 2

"I'm going to explain the rules to you and you are going to stay still and stay quiet until I have finished. Understand?", the mysterious man spoke coldly and I nodded in response, knowing he was not someone to mess with. I was also interested in what he had to say for some reason, maybe if I just do what they ask they'll let me leave.

"You must be asking yourself, where am I what is happening to me, blah blah blah.", he mocked, slowly unlocking the cell. "Well, allow me to enlighten you little twat, this is home now and I am your-", he was cut off by another man's scream as he ran into the cell we were in "Dante, there's a fight going on outside, looks like a rogue got in, do you-",

"Kill it. I'm busy.", he casually responded. Kill it! What the hell! Oh my god, I need to get the hell out of here. Am I a rogue? Am I going to die? I clenched my eyes shut and started visibly shaking realizing the reality of the situation, whatever was going to happen to me from this point on was not going to be good. I felt their gaze on me and I tried to take deep breaths to calm myself down. I heard a laugh, "Shit, she looks like she's going to pass out dude.", the man who had come in a minute ago mocked.

I heard what sounded like the sound an animal makes and it made me stiffen. It was like a growl of some sort. "Okay, okay, I'm leaving geez.", said the laughing man and jogged out of the cell down a hallway. Where did that growl come from? Was it Mr. Big Boots? Dante was what the man called him.

He stalked towards me slowly, stopping right in front of me and bent down so that he was on my level. I kept squeezing my eyes shut, keeping my head low but my breathing quickened. My heart was trying to escape my chest, I was honestly scared shitless. He noticed this but still moved his face closer to mine and took a deep breath in. He smelt good. Not the time to be noticing something like that but as soon as I did my heart calmed down and I felt more comfortable. Cold-blooded murderers don't smell amazing right? Maybe I'll be set free when he realizes I'm no threat or asset to him.

"Your scent disgusts me.", he snarled, getting up from his position in front of me and continuing his speech from before he was interrupted. "As I was saying I'm the leader here and everything I say you will do. Do not look at me. Do not speak to me. Do not disobey me. If you can do that, we won't have a problem and you will enjoy your life here.".

"What am I doing here?", I whimpered immediately after speaking not knowing what he was saying, none of this made sense to me.

Slap. He slapped me across my cheek and I fell to the ground. "I said don't speak to me, slave!", he yelled, agitated with me.

Slave...Slave? What the f...

I must have passed out because when I opened my eyes again, he was gone and I was still on the ground in my shackles.

I slowly tried to stand up and was greeted by a warm sting on the side of my face that made me remember how I ended up on the cold floor. What an asshole.

"Ah, she's awake, Mason untie her and get her up.", a calm and very kind male voice spoke. I kept my head down fearing I would be hit again but it was as if he read my mind, "You can look at me kid, Dante is the only one with a problem. He hates having people lower than him stare at him. He says they're not worthy.". A second male, Mason, rushes to me and sets my ankle free. I open my eyes and look up at the two men.

The one with the kind voice speaks again, "Come on, I need to get you to the others so they can clean you up and get you ready.", he extends his hand for me and I stare at it for a second before glancing up to look at his face. He has wavy brown hair and light brown eyes, with golden skin and he was smiling at me. I put my hand in his and he walked us out of the cell. I looked back at it as we walked down the dark hallway. "Not sure why he insisted we put you in there for him to inspect you first, you're just a girl, but whatever.", he shrugged as he pulled me behind him. He was so tall and built that I couldn't see anything in front of him as we walked through the hallways of this mysterious place.

Mason was walking behind me, quiet the entire time. He had blonde hair shaved on the sides and deep piercing blue eyes. They were both dressed in black T-shirts and camo pants with black boots. We walked up some stairs and through a small door leading to bright light and I had to close my eyes as we exited. I never realized the light was just from the outside which my eyes had to adjust to considering I was in the dark cell for who knows how long.

I had no shoes on and I kept stepping on twigs and stones as we made our way through what seemed to be a forest. The brown-haired man noticed this as I kept letting out little squeals as I walked and he picked me up bridal style. I flinched, knowing I can't trust these guys, I mean they kidnapped me, put me in a cell and slapped me around. Even though this guy seems nice, he's probably just as bad as the rest of them (I don't know his name yet) but I trust nobody. Never have.

It was better than getting my feet pierced though.

We walked for what could have been a good 10 minutes in silence, which was awkward and scary, before reaching what looked like a massive castle-like mansion. We passed huge hedges and a water fountain before reaching the front door. It was huge and the man put me down to open the double door with Mason.

Do they live here? In a mansion? Where the hell am I?
