The Beast Found His Love

chapter 6 - not now, not ever

Bella's POV

As I watched outside, I realized that it was surrounded by trees and I hardly was able to see anything, not even a road. "why did I go to the library?" I questioned myself. New tears started to form as I thought about everything. I had a life, friends, not family tho, freedom, a future. And now I am unable to see anything as I thought what if I was never able to go back. and came the new tears running down my cheeks.

I prayed really hard for a miracle to happen. I continue to cry that I did not realize someone has opened the door. It was until footsteps were heard did I notice the man from just now. He had a platter in his hands. I start to back away into the window. "Hey, it's OK. I just came to give some food. You have not eaten anything since yesterday evening and it's after lunch. I am not gonna hurt you." he said gently. I shook my head at him stating I did not want the food. He sighed," please eat something. I I don't want you to starve. At least small bites." he tried to convince me.

" I don't want the food. Just let me go back home. pl-please." I pleaded. He closed his eyes for one second before opening them back. He placed the platter at the bed. " This is your home. I cannot let you go. I just can't." he stated as his voice became softer at the last part. A lone tear left when he said that. "th- this is my ho-home? No this is no-not my home! Please I am begging you, let me go." I said as I tasted salt that it was caused by the tears.

Suddenly I saw his eyes changing from blue to pitch black. The sobs that left me became quiet fearing of him. More tears started to leave my eyes. In a matter of seconds he was standing in front of me. He nuzzled his head where my shoulder and neck met. He starts sniffing me. The tears have yet to stop. "I have just found you and I am never letting you go. Not now. Not ever. You are mine" he stated as he growled at the last. There was a sudden spark where he touched me. I couldn't put a finger on it. I started to cry more. Soon darkness engulfed me.

"Thud" the sound of the thunder made me jolt up awake. I was sweating profusely and it was in the morning. I really was wishing that it was just a bad dream. But as I looked around I realized it was real. I looked around to see if the man was anywhere and lucky me, he wasn't and I was relieved. I did not want to be anywhere near him or his bed. I quickly untangled myself and went to open the door only to find it closed. Well I tried. I sighed. I guess I am locked up then.

I walked to the bathroom to see there were clothes and some undergarments. I decided I should take a shower. As I started to wash myself, I took the only soap there, which smelt like mint leaves. I squeezed the shampoo which also smelt like mint leaves. After I shower, I wore a large shirt and sweatpants. I walked out and sat at the bay window and decided to sit and think of a way to escape.

I missed my friends. They are the only family I have. Both their parents love me like their own daughter. Almost my entire life I did not know what freedom was like. After my parents died I was sent to the orphanage as my parents loved each other and ran away since their parents did not consent. hence I do not have any relatives.

When I was in the orphanage all I did was go school, go to a cafe to work and save money and then back to the orphanage. Now that I finally had the freedom, it did not last. I feel like everything I ever worked for was ripped away from. I studied so hard and when I was almost at the finishing line, everything was gone.

Soon, the man came again. " How are you doing?" he asked softly. I did not reply. I did not want to. "If you don't mind may I at least know your name?" he asked hesitantly. Is this guy for real? he just kidnapped without even knowing my name. I did not answer. I was very scared and sad about everything. He sighed.

"I told you I would explain everything to you. I know you are not ready. But you deserved to know what is going on and not be in misery." He stated. Again tears start spilling. "don't cry. the faster I tell you what is going on, you will understand what is going and wrap your head around it." he explained as if he was talking to a small girl. He came to sit beside me. I scooted away from him to maintain some distance. He just shook his head. " Are you ready to hear?" he asked to make sure. I did not know what to say.

Am I ready to know what he is? Am I ready to hear something that might change my life? Am I ready to know why I was brought here? Well I am not sure about the first two, but I had to know the answer for the last question. I slowly nod my head looking down as I did not have the courage to look up at him. "Look at me and say that you are ready. I have to know that you are ready." he asked me politely.

I could not look up at him. I was just too scared to look up at him. He sighed. He used his thumb finger and his pointer finger to lift my head up to make me look up at him. When his finger touched my chin, I felt sparkles at the place where he touched. I gasped at that. I saw his face had a small smile as if he knew about it. "Say that you are ready." Not wanting to test his patience I did what he said. "I am ready," I said as I stuttered.

Here goes nothing.
