Canopy of abyss

CHAPTER nine

I opened my eyes to my surrounding. It was the same garden I was in the last time. I was surrounded by flowers. I reached out my hand and touched the flowers.the petals were soft and It was filled with weeds and thorns.

There was a pathway leading to a light. It started calling to me.

I walked briskly towards it. As I got closer, it got brighter and brighter until it consumed me.

I opened my eyes to see that I was lying on my stomach. I moved my hand expecting pain but was met with nothing.

" What are you?"

The voice I desperately wished to hate spoke from my right hand side.

What did he mean by what am I? I am a human.

"You certainly are not human." He answered my thoughts which gained him my full attention.

I sat on the bed and my traitorous eyes decided to take every detail of him against my will. I blinked my eyes twice to stop the direction of my thoughts.

" Whatever do you mean?" Confused doesn't even cut it as to how I feel.

Anger, irritation, and others I will never admit to feeling.

" I see you still as Witty as ever." He bemused

" And I see you are still as arrogantly annoying as ever." I retorted looking at him squarely in the eye.

He glared at me and I rolled my eyes.

" I will have you hang next." He stated coldly.

Ha! Does he think I will bend to him just because I was whipped.

" You have another thing coming if you think I will succumb easily." I smirked

" So what are you?" He asked again ignoring my words.

" I'm a human of course, why are you asking all of a sudden?" I wondered.

He looked at me as if trying to see through me. When he was tired of checking whatever he was checking, he sighed and walked out of his room which by the way I am lying in.

After about ten minutes of trying to remember the last thing that happened before I passed out, there was a knock on the door and I turned to see a head poking through. He looked familiar.

" Hey." He said with a smile.

"Um..  I'm going to let myself in if you don't invite me in, not that I need to be invited in but you know.... I will stop talking now." he stopped rambling and scratch the back of his head. I realized he was still poking his head in.

I was lost staring at him for so long until he walked in and winked at me.

My eyes widened in embarrassment and my cheeks turned red for staring so long.

" Like what you see?" He asked playfully making me blush Harder.

"So how are you feeling?" He asked sitting beside me.

I was surprised he cared to ask when I didn't even know his name.

"My name is Nick." He said.

I was surprised he answered my thoughts.

" So how are you feeling, I know my brother has a too tight ass so I understand he takes it out on every one who is in his path." He said smiling.

" Your brother? You mean the leech king-" his eyes seems to brighten when I called Tristan the leech king and decided to correct myself.
