My body stiffens and it went cold despite the fact that I'm sitting by the fire. At this point, my heart was pumping at an alarming rate. I wanted to run away from her but where could I go? I was left with no choice but to lift my head slowly, still avoiding her gaze.

I didn't even have to look into her eyes to feel her intimidating aura, her mere presence is more than enough to kill me inside out.

"There are 3 things you should note and I will not repeat them so you best be listening carefully. Also, look into my eyes when I'm speaking." Her voice boomed across the room, making me jump a little.

"Y-yes M-Ms Venable" I replied in a shaky voice.

Nervously playing my sweaty fingers on my lap, I force my eyes onto hers. This is the first time I got to look at her properly. She is a beautiful woman, sharp jawlines, perfectly trimmed brows, plump lips that always seems to be wearing a wicked smile.

My thoughts slowly wander off to so many unanswered questions as to how did such a gorgeous woman end up here? Does she enjoy torturing people during her leisure? If not, why was I tortured? Was I being punished? If so, what did I do to deserve such punishments?

I was grounded from my thoughts as her voice echoes across the room again.

"One, you are ONLY allowed to leave your room at night. Two, you will not be allowed to join the others for meals and your meals will be sent to your room. Three, there are 2 kinds of people here in the outpost, the purples and the greys. The purples, are the elites, the worthys and greys on the other hand, well, they are here to serve, and be grateful for the opportunity to do so."

"S-so wha-what are y-you?" I asked hesitantly, confused, as what Venable is telling me does not match up to the information that were written on the paper Mallory had given to me earlier.

"I am neither. But so are you" Her dark brown orbs fixed onto mine, a devilish smile forms on her perfect lips as she slowly walks towards me.

I wanted to move so badly as she slowly approaches but every muscle in my body is frozen as if under a spell, leaving me helplessly siting on the armchair as she towers over me and lifts my chin up with her long index finger.

Looking down at my pale, sweaty face, with eyes that is filled with nothing but fear, she licks her lips and plants a small kiss on my forehead.

"You are mine"
