Aadya

Chapter 2

Ares Pov

Another day, another night ... I look beside my window and wonder what it is like to be in love. What it is like to have someone by your side, forever and ever. However, deep down I know that I will never experience this love from books and movies, I will forever be alone.

"AReSsSsSs!!" My mother yells, interrupting my thoughts.

"Yes, mother," I replied.

"I am going into town, would you like anything??"

"No."

"You need to drop that attitude"

"Ok, whatever you say your highness" I chuckled.

"You're lucky you're my son. I would have slapped you" she storms out of my room.

...

Ares Mother POV

This town is so dull, gloomy and wicked, just how I like it. Small shops full of interesting people. Each one with their own secrets.

I go downtown and see a little boy with a lollipop, I take the lollipop and lick it.

"Ahhhh such a fruity flavor, you have a little boy" I hand the lollipop to the little boy and wink.

I continue to walk down the street. I see this little antique shop. "My my... " I said to myself. "This place looks lovely. I am sure I will find something here"

The bell rings as I open the door. It smells like dust but in a good way. As I walk in, I get greeted by a petite girl who carries a big smile.

"Are you looking for something in particular?''

"No." I declined.

She sends me a smile and walks away. I look around the shop and spot a wooden vanity.

"It's beautiful... the mirror is a little cracked though"

"Yeah, I guess it is, if you want I can give you a 5% discount"

"Oh no sweetie it's ok, I'll pay full price."

"Alright then. It cost $1,200. We'll ship the wooden vanity to your house as well"

"Thanks, sweety," I say while handing her the money. "Have a nice day!"

...

Aadya's POV

"Okay Brandon, I'll take this side you take the other"

We each grab the opposite end of the vanity and lift it with all our strength. We bring it into the van.

"Jesus" Brandon states, "Who decided to buy this ugly vanity".

"Some people just have a unique style" I responded.

"Right, so anyway do you know the address?"

"Yeah, I do, let's get going"

I hop into the passenger side. Since driving is no good. As we pass through the neighborhood I see a huge castle. "What a beautiful home this is" I gasp.

"Beautiful?" Brandon askes "More like creepy, I'd hate to live here"

"Well, you don't live here so it doesn't matter what you think."

"Geez, what's wrong with you today?"

I stare intensely at Brandon and roll my eyes, I look back at the window as we arrive at the front of the house. Once we arrive, we get out of the car and head to the back of the trunk. While carrying the vanity to the house I couldn't help but get a chill feeling of anxiousness. We rang the doorbell once. No answer. We rang it again, and like before no answer.

Suddenly the door opened on its own, introducing us to a dark and mysterious entryway.

"I have a bad feeling about this" expressed Brandon.

"It'll be fine" I exclaim

Entering the house a smell of dust was wafted into our faces. For the most part the house seems completely empty despite having a whole blown castle.

"Hello?" I question

"Oh well looks like no one is here, time to go!" Brandon breathes out.

"Cut it out, I told the lady I would be delivering the vanity today, therefore I will deliver it today" I exclaimed. "Anyways, I need the extra cash for my grandmother".

"I'm not walking around a stranger's creepy mansion."

"Fine then, I'll walk through this stranger's creepy mansion and die." I teased, sending him a smug look.

Walking around the castle I noticed the walls and furniture expressed surveyor cases of depression. I sensed quick movement behind and turned around quickly. There was a giant man standing right above me. He had a harsh, rigid jawline and hard eyes. He was staring down at me so intensely, If looks could kill.

Ares POV

The girl below me shook with fear as I stared down at her. Her soft doe-like eyes looked back at me with so much fear I swear she would faint.

As I continue to study her I couldn't help to notice her beautiful features. She had honey skin, lovely brown eyes, and her hair was a beautiful mess of curls. She has a cute upturned nose and her lips were full. She was the perfect woman.

In these short silent seconds I knew one thing. This girl was alluring.

Dun dun duuuuuuun
