~•Chapter 16: Meeting the Devil Again•~

•Recap•

"There it is!" Says Mathew.

We start to speed walk towards the building. We get to the front and Mathew inhales slowly. He lifts his hand and knocks on the big door.

Nothing happens. He knocks again, nothing. He opens the door and slowly walks in, me behind him.

"The door is never open, something's wrong," whispers Mathew.

We walk in and no ones in sight. There are a bunch of beds but no people. All of a sudden I see a flash of someone running. The intruder stops and I look closely. It's sir William!

"Hello Grace, we meet again."

•Now•

"Did you really think that you could hide from me?" asks Sir William.

"We did for a while," I say with confidence.

"You never did, I was always watching. I was just waiting for the right opportunity to come in. And this worked out great!"

"What did you do with the people that lived here?" asks Mathew angrily.

"I had my people help me drain their blood one by one."

Sir William gestures for someone to come here behind me.

I feel someone grab hold of both my hands behind my back. I squirm but the grip is like steel. I see someone else hold Mathew like that too.

Sir William walks towards me slowly. He comes close to me and stares down at me.

"You shouldn't have left Grace. Now I will take you back and you will marry Cameron. Also I found out that he got your memories back, and he helped you run away from me. I have punished him."

"What did you do?" I snarl at him.

"Nothing that bad!"

"What if I say no to Cameron?" I ask.

"Then I'll kill your precious brother Mathew here."

~~~

Sir William brought me and Mathew back to the castle. Sir William took me down to that cave and torture area. He sat me down on the chair I'm so used to, and chained my wrists and ankles to the chair.

It's the same chair where I watched Amelia die in front of my eyes.

I have a bad feeling about this. I don't like where this is going.

Sir William comes back with a beaten, bruised and tortured Cameron. He has chains around his wrists and ankles. He looks up at me and his eyes are filled with sorrow, betrayal and horror.

"Cameron," I say as he is chained right in front of me.

"Grace I'm so-" Cameron gets cut off by Sir William.

"Who said you were aloud to talk?"

Cameron looks down at the floor, ashamed and embarrassed.

"How dare you get Graces memories back! How dare you help her escape me! I am your father and you do as you are told!"

"But she has a choice in life! You can't force her t-" Cameron gets cut off again. This time Sir William whips him on the stomach. Cameron roars in pain and there's a huge gash with blood pouring out.

"I can force anyone to do anything!"

Sir William puts the whip down. "Since Ethan hasn't woken up yet, Cameron will marry you. I was going to marry you to Ethan, so he can torture himself by draining your blood and killing you. But he's not awake yet."

Just the mention of his name made me desperate to see him. Even if I could just see a glimpse it would be enough. And the thought of him still not awake, made me scared that he might.....die!

Sir William turns to a table with knives. He picks one up and walks towards me.

"Time for the real torture to come," he says while walking towards me.

He puts the tip of the knife on my neck. I feel it sink in a bit, and feel trickles of blood going down. I wince from the slight pain.

I look at Cameron and his head is down. Blood is still oozing out the huge gash. He looks really pale and I don't see his chest rising. Is he dead?

"To make sure you don't do this again, I'm gonna cut your throat. Next time you leave, I'm gonna kill Mathew!"

I was about to say something when I feel the knife go in my throat. I scream as he pushes the knife down my neck. The pain just gets worse and worse. I feel blood oozing out and going down my neck.

I feel the knife come out and I black out.

~~~

I look up at the night sky and watch the stars twinkle. I turn to my side and look at Ethan lying down beside me. Ethan turns to face me too.

I stare at his beautiful blue eyes and I get completely lost in them. When I'm with him I forget everything that's bad in my life. With him nothing is bad in life.

"I'm glad I met you," I say.

"Why is that?"

"Well if I didn't meet you I would have gone completely insane."

And I wouldn't know what love really is, I say in my head.

"I'm glad I met you too, because I wouldn't have anyone to live for," Ethan says.

"What about your dad and Cameron?"

"They aren't good people, and they don't really mean much to me. But you mean a lot to me. I would do anything to make you happy. And I would do anything to keep you safe," Ethan says and pushes a piece of my hair behind my ear.

He moves his fingers down my cheek. I can feel his breathe on me. I close my eyes and lean towards his touch.

"I love you Grace."

~~~

I slowly open my eyes, wishing I didn't wake up from that dream. I finally open my eyes and I see a white ceiling.

I suddenly feel something near, something that's starting to fill up my broken heart.

I turn my head but my neck starts to throb. I touch my neck and I feel stitches. I wince in pain and turn my head to the right.

I see a boy standing not far away. I can't see him properly, but I feel like I know him. He walks forward slowly, and he starts to come in view.

He has light brown hair which is curled up a bit at the bottom. He also has light blue eyes, and pinkish lips to go with it. He has his hands in his pockets.

He takes graceful and gentle steps towards me.

"Ethan?"

"Hello Grace, I missed you."
