Imprisoned

Chapter # 16

"I'll kill you."

"No!"

I was about to stumble but unfortunately behind me was nothing but the wall, averting eyes, I could feel his keen eyes fixed upon me, lingering with amusement I resented deeply.

"Scared?" He asked temptingly, putting his both hands beside me, leaning dangerously closer. I couldn't reply, just looking down with thundering breaths in the dark room.

"Well... Sky was right... you truly are pretty."

He mused with a horrifyingly wicked laugh before pulling away and providing my vexation some serenity.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked, moving as far as I could from his devilish form taking joy out of my misery.

"I love inducing fright in your veins." He smirked atrociously.

"Because, My Dear..."

Lifting my chin with his index finger he spoke the truth which I was unable to understand at that moment.

"One day this will be your only source of sanity."

Incapable of grasping his words, I let out a low pitched sound as he went to the bathroom.

...He was right, this fear was my leash...

I was leaning on the wall, staring at the bed in repulsion, almost growling at the disgusting thought of sharing it with him but I didn't have much choice and judging his dominance, he would force me one way or another.

"Staring won't help, you have to sleep." He teased from behind, taking his delight out of my scare.

Looking away with a flushed face, I quietly sat on the bed and laid down, facing the wall, covering myself with the blanket to not confront him.

My heart began to race when I sensed him laying beside me. I began to shake, curling my toes in dismal but his voice came unaffected.

"Sleep. I won't do anything." But your existence is enough to deprive my sleep!

After barely getting any sleep, I woke up the next day before him and decided to look around the palace. It was early morning, I smiled to myself finally having some alone time.

Thankfully I remembered the way to the kitchen so I made myself a cup of coffee and went to their courtyard asking the servants.

Inhaling fresh air which warmed my heart, I looked at the graceful flowers, indulging in my company alone because at this point humans were despicable.

The screen of deceit was so perfect that I began to call it my life while in reality all of it was a mirage. I lived my whole life in a lie...

No matter how much I try, I can't forget what Zaniel did to me.

Both of them were explicitly evil, I wish I had a way to take vengeance upon them.

I truly want to show them hell for stealing my life and it's not possible until I found a weak spot-

The moment this word came to my mind, Sky came running to me,

"Cinzel! You're awake." The cutie pie grinned, holding her hand out to shake.

"Good Morning."

"A very good morning to you as well." Found it.

I grinned and shook hands with her. Zaniel's full focus on me and now I have to find a clear path.

"See Amanda? I told you, She doesn't hate me." She said without thinking.

Her caretaker Amanda gasped, "What are you saying? Apologize. I am so sorry, Madam, she is just a child."
