Into the snow

Part 9: Trust

You took a step into her home...lair... Whatever it is, you felt something's off about this place. Looking around the entry room you noticed that there is no light coming from the outside, no places for candles to be held. The place is dark and cold but you pressed on holding Crystal's hand as she guides you through a set of dark hallways and stairs until you came to a stop. She pressed her body against yours in the dark and your heart races as you felt her soft lips touch.

You closed your eyes enjoying the moment when her arms go around your waist pulling you towards her. You both fell into a soft and comfortable thing what you assume is a bed and you land on top of her and the sound of her giggle eases your worried thoughts about the darkness around you. You whispered into her ear "Every moment since your letter I've thought of nothing else but you. The danger's I've gone through was nothing compared on seeing your beautiful face, to feel your silky smooth skin against mine. To hear that velvety voice flowing from those innocent lips and the kiss... I can't even describe" she puts her finger over your lips "Shh" your body goes numb inside and overflowed with feelings of lust, passion, and you kissed her with much more passion this time. She stops you after a few moments and says to wait there as she slips away.

Time slips by and seconds seems like hours but you press on waiting for her return. The sounds inside her home were a little bit odd and distracted your thoughts as if you can hear moans and soft cries coming from somewhere but you shook that off. Her kiss was so amazing... was she going to change into something more dazzling... was she getting a candle... why did she leave. How long has it been? You have no clue on what's happening around you in the darkness. You started to feel sleepy and starts yawning. It's been such a long day, you are so tired and decided to sleep to regain your strength and energy,

You woke up a few hours later and found yourself chained into a table of some sort. Your body was completely naked, candles were placed all around the room. You blinked wondering if this was a dream or not, the room was well lit and for the first time you've been able to see everything around you clearly since you've arrived in this place. As you look down you saw your wolf pup. She was ... licking you. You felt something's off because even though your wolf pup is licking you, you can't feel a single thing, how can this be? You thought to yourself. Your mouth tastes funny, now that you think about it and you tried to wiggle your arms a bit too but you couldn't feel them. Your entire body was numb and paralyzed.

Crystal looks up from what she's doing and spots you and makes her way to your side. "Finally, you're awake." she smiles running a nail across your torso slicing a thin layer of skin as your blood drips across your chest. You tried to speak but you're having a hard time on saying a single word, words didn't come out clearly the only sound that you can make is "uhh" and it's not even a word. You tried to speak "Uhh uhhh", Crystal giggles. You wanted to scream on the top of your lungs and ask her what is going on but you couldn't. "Don't worry the poison will wear off in a few hours but it won't matter anyway. You see I needed someone strong, someone brave and without fear, like you. You passed all of my test I've putted in your path. That's why you're here my love, you should be proud of yourself, dozens have failed and you succeeded. She chuckled but this time instead of desire you felt repulsed. How could you be so stupid to fall for this witch tricks! This evil woman who preyed on your feelings. "Now I know that you don't like how the things ended and I'm sure you really wanted to enjoy me in my bed but alas we can never be together in that way. " She winked at him and turned grabbing a dagger with a jeweled hilt.

"Your journey has ended but know this your sacrifice is going to fuel my magic and help me create something truly unique. She lifted the dagger high up into the air and began chanting words you cannot understand and you thought this is where your life ends and closed your eyes, but you felt nothing. You kept them close not wanting to see anything but you gave in after a few seconds have passed opening your eyes once again. You saw your heart was in her hands and your vision begins to get blurry it was still beating and....

THE END
