Chapter 5
Emma's POV
My legs forced me around the woods, trees, bushes and branches covered the entire area up. I was alone, I groaned as branch slit my foot. I walked to the river nearby, removing the branch of my foot I screamed. I sat there looking at the full moon, how did I end up here. A white beaded dress flowed down my body. The dress was long and beautiful, but what made it ugly were the blood stains that covered the white cloth.
I started throwing some stones in the water, the bounce of every stone through the water echoed by the woods. My long hair was loosened up, I didn't know what I was supposed to do, or where to go so I sat by the lake. I gasped when I heard a snap. I looked back to see a midnight black wolf with razor-sharp teeth. His fur was black, deep black. Fear built up in me, as I took a step back. Only to fall into unconscious sleep.
My eyes opened but all I could see was darkness, complete darkness. I tried to move my hands, but I felt some cold chains pressed to my hands and feet. The surface beneath was soft, which only meant one thing. I was tied up to a bed. I shivered as the cold air passed through my body. That's when reality hit me, I was naked. The fear in me started to panic, as I struggled with the chains. Every time I moved they went deeper into my skin leaving bruises and marks.
"Help," I screamed through the air. My voice echoed through the room, bouncing back to me. I felt a knife next to my throat, all I could see was darkness. My body froze on the stop, fear started to build up as I tried to struggle with the chains once again.
The metal knife touched my skin, slowly grazing it. My throat dried up as I kept screaming, but in few seconds the sharp metal piece slit my throat open, as I kept screaming through the empty dark room.
I woke up sweating, I looked at my hands and foot they weren't chained. I sighed and looked around I wasn't in the black room, instead, I was in my room. I got dreams on daily basis, but this one felt so real.
It was just a dream, I kept repeating to myself. But I knew it was more than a dream.
I quickly ran to the washroom and washed my face, I looked up at the to see my reflection. Everything was the same, except my throat was dry like I just screamed. Walking out I glanced at the clock which stated 3:00 am. I opened the door and walked out, I needed fresh air.
I tiptoed to the kitchen, everyone was sleeping. Complete silence, I took a glass of water and hurriedly drank it. I placed it on the counter back and walked outside. I looked at the guards who were asleep next to the main gate.
I sneaked out to the woods and paced back and forth. The air was warm, the moon was shining as the woods were quite. I turned around to take another step but I gasped when I saw someone familiar. I placed a hand on my heart, it was Derik.
"What are you doing here?" Derik demanded. I looked at him for a second.
"Answer me," he said in a dominant voice. I flinched at his voice and took a step back.
"I w-as wa-l-kin-g", I stuttered, he looked at me from up to down, examining my body. In a swift moment he pulled me by my waist, I gasped and tried to pull away but he kept his grip tight.
"Stop struggling," he said.
"Ple-ase," I stuttered as I tried to push him away.
"Please what," he whispered.
"Le-t me g-o," I said.
"Pathetic Human," he stated, I started to cry those were the words people said to me when dad died.
"I will let you go if you answer my questions-," he wiped a tear away and pulled a strand of hair behind my ear.
"-And don't even think about lying." He continued, I nodded and he loosened his grip around my waist.
"Now let's start from basic questions --- where are your parents". He asked a tear dropped down my cheeks. Parent was a sensitive topic for me.
"Stop crying Like a baby and answer me," he said
"T-h-ey a-re de-ad" I answered,
"Like I care-" he said while rolling his eyes.
"What is your age," he asked
"16" I answered
"Do you have a boyfriend" he questioned
I shake my head to say no
"Did you ever had a boyfriend?" he asked
"No," I said
"Have you ever kissed someone"
"No"I said keeping my eye on the ground
He pulled me closer
"Are you a virgin" he questioned
Huh
"Answer me" he demanded.
"Yes" I said he pulled me closer.
"Has anyone ever touched you"
"No"
"So Young, so pure and so innocent-" he lifted my face up, I looked up to see his eyes red filled with lust, I gasped.
"-And all mines," I gasped as he trailed his hand around my body. He pushed me to a tree and kissed me hard, I stood frozen in his grasp. He wrapped an arm around me, I begin to taste my own blood. He pulled back as I tried to fill the air. He bought his hand to my face and rubbed my lip where it was bleeding.
"I am going to make your whole body bleed for me," he whispered in my ears, I winced and looked to my left side.
He pulled my face and kissed me again. His kiss was harsher, he forced into my mouth as his hands trailed down my chest. I felt violated, he pushed his lips harder where my lips were bleeding. I tried to push him away but took and wrist and snapped it. I howled in pain, every time I moved my wrist I screamed. His hands swirled around my hair, pulling them harshly. The taste of my blood ran down my throat.
Branches bruised my back as he violated my body. I stood there crying and waiting for this to end. I ran away from one torture but fell into a well with another one.
