My heart pounded in my chest as my hands turned clammy with sweat. I tried hearing for any sound but I could hear only the rustling of leaves outside the abounded house.
Going quickly towards the main door I turned the knob to only find it locked.
The flooring creaked as I stepped back, one step after another. My suspicion was right, Luke wasn’t the one who had brought here but it was Alos.
I had no ans of communication to reach out for help and I was all alone here. I hoped that Luke would notice gone. I heard footsteps co from the other side of the house making aware of the unwanted person in the house.
I took another way as I heard the footsteps heading my way, I had to search for a possible outlet before he could get to . I walked quickly and heard him speak,
"You figured it out, didn’t you Lillian? Escaping is of no use," I heard him from the hall as I searched for any back door.
For my luck, I found a back door and when I turned the handle to step outside I felt the air knock out of my lungs due to the sight presented before .
It was as if I was taken back in ti like in my dreams but this wasn’t a dream. There were many small houses in front of but there was no man in sight. The town was deserted as the wind moved with a soft eerie whistle. The pale sky held the color of a reddish orange color that lacked any clouds.
I knew what I was seeing right now wasn’t real yet it felt so real. I wanted to get back inside the house but I doubted if it would go back to how it was before I stepped out from the back door.
I ran to the nearest house in search of anyone but it was empty. It was covered with cobwebs and dust like it was abandoned for centuries.
"Where are you, my lovely daughter? It’s no ti to play hide and seek. Papa wants to talk to you," I heard Alos’ gruff voice.
I peeked slowly outside the broken window from the first floor as he walked across the houses searching for . Talk to ? The man needed ntal help but I doubt it would help him. I was stuck in so place where I had no idea where I was and I couldn’t dodge him forever. At one point Alos was going to find and before that happened I had to do sothing.
He turned back to look at the window I stood by and I ducked down in reflex.
"I know where you are."
Shit! Run, run run.
I found another window on the other side of the wall that was large enough to let my body through and without a second thought I jumped out of it. When my body hit the ground I groaned in pain without any sound. The pain didn’t matter right now as I limped back with a sprained ankle to the house that Alos had taken .
I made sure to lock the door before walking up the stairs gritting my teeth as my leg ached with my every movent. My knees were bruised and my body ached. Once I reached up and got into a room I slid down the wall to sit down on the dirt covered floor.
Now that I noticed there were objects and few furnitures that was covered with white cloth that had turned to a cream color due to the accumulated dust. A fra stood next to and I reached for it with my hand. With the back of my hand, I cleaned the fra to feel my eyes widen and at the sa ti Alos stepped into the room.
"Finally, I found you," he said while I tried standing up and moving away from him, "You’re really slow for your caliber but still," he murmured taking a step forward.
"Why are you doing this? Killing won’t bring back your dead wife," I said keeping a close eye on him.
"Who said I was bringing back my dead wife?" He asked in a whisper and I felt like his voice had changed. Soon I saw his form change as the man grew taller and leaner. He had a sandy blonde hair that reached until his neck while his eyes were red. He wasn’t a younger Alos’ so who was he?
"Who are you and where’s Alos?" I demanded the man standing in the sa room and this made the man laugh.
"Ah, I feel like my heart has been pierced with a sword. How sad that you don’t rember ," he comnted and with a snap, the door closed as I was trying to inch closer to it.
"What do you want from ?" I asked him feeling my throat dry with the proximity he was standing from .
"I want you," he said as his eyes blazed brightly, "It’s alright if you don’t rember , Lillian, I’ll reintroduce myself," he said with a sweet gentle smile and it scared to no ends.
"I’m Damien rvyn who was engaged to you, your fiancé in words. Ring any bell honey?" he asked but continued to speak, "Of course you wouldn’t as you were having an affair behind my back with the one who held your interest. Do you know how angry it made when I found out about it?"
He walked towards , cornering and held my neck in a tight grip, soon I started wheezing for air. Kicking and hitting him was of no use because he was too strong. There was no match for a dead demon entity against .
I felt him loosen his grip and taking a few steps back when my eyes beca hazy. I coughed for air while he sat on a chair. I felt the sides burn as his nails had scratched the skin on my neck.
"There was a tea party held for the higher authorities that day," he spoke to himself like he was rembering it. I had to fight him if I wanted to get back to the real world, that much was clear, "You were helping in the kitchen and were on a break when I first saw you. So beautiful and serene. I had made my uncle speak to your parents for your hand as he was the demon lord at that ti. Do you know how happy you made when I heard you had agreed?" He asked smiling again.
"In a week we were engaged but the following week I saw you kiss that vampire. How could you betray , Lillian, I loved you so much. I had co to know later that he was an upper-class vampire and it would be difficult to kill him, therefore, I changed my plans. Plans to kill you," he revealed making my eyes bulge out.
"Do you know my mother’s family carried a dark magic bloodline? It was easy to accomplish though I couldn’t influence the vampire I could influence others," he said smirking at , "Did you know this was my room?"
The fra I held in my hand was a picture of sleeping. As seconds passed the man standing in front of was turning as creepy as possible.
I couldn’t believe I was engaged to this psycho in the past. He claid that he loved yet he had planned to kill . I understood the betrayal he would have felt but he was going too far on the killing part. Influencing others? Did that an...
"You influenced my father to use my soul," I said feeling my head pound and his smile only confird it. Oh, God.
"Your mother fell ill with the voodoo doll I had used for her. What I didn’t realize at that ti was that to create a voodoo doll it takes a weeks ti and I only had one more left which I used it on your dear father. I couldn’t kill you with my bare hands, therefore, I used him but I didn’t know the vampire would intervene. This ti I’ll do the task myself," he said standing up.
"It is pathetic of you to avenge by killing and turning into a corpse for your betrayal," I comnted as I observed his movents wearily. He shook his head in response.
"It isn’t revenge. Once I’m done killing you I will take your soul with and make you mine for eternity even after death," he walked towards with slow steps, "When you brought the crossbreed to the palace and were alone it was easy to trick you as having that vampire around its difficult to get to you."
