insides.

3 days

And they haven’t given her a drop of water.

I take out a fresh shirt and cover her with it.

Giving her little respite from the cold in this freezing room.

Opening a casserole I make a bite and offer her foot.

She parts her lips and I feed her.

“Why.

.

why… do you… help me… every…day?”

She questions and I blankly stare at her.

Her trust in humanity has been long lost.

I can see it.

“Good and Evil, angels and monsters both live in this world.

Moon goddess made this world this way.

But sometimes when one of gods favorite angel gets surrounded by too many monsters….

and she starts loosing trust in moon goddess; a messenger is sent to hold on.

‘À messenger is sent who tells her to never lose faith in good.

”

“To believe in good.

“It seems I am that messenger and you? The Angel.

”

She stares blankly at me and the very next second tears fill her eyes.

Laying on my lap, she sobs Breaking down.

“I…Id just want to live, Sierra.

I….

just want to see him again.

”

“Please….

Help me….

“I don’t want to die….

”

I caress her head softly to look into her eyes.

Hugging her to my chest, I was going to promise her safety when suddenly the door is slammed open.

My fathers rage filled green eyes fix at me.

And that’s when I knew.

Our doom was near.

“Take her out and put her in the dungeons.

I will deal with her

later.

I was ripped apart and dragged out to be led to the dungeons by the guards.

1 looked back over my shoulder to only find my father crouching down beside her

A knife pinned on her neck.

“There is no use of you now.

I guess this is a goodbye.

Any last wishes?”

“Noooo! Father noooooo!”

I scream but my words fall on deaf ears.

My thrashing body no match to the strength of the guards.

“He will come for you… and when he does?”

She stares into my fathers eyes to chuckle sickly despite her state and I admired her bravery.

She was unbreakable.

Beautiful, brave and powerful.

She was indeed a real Luna.

“You will beg, cry and plead.

But he will have no mercy.

“He cuts the finger of a person who touches me, yet you did this to me? He is going to burn you and your entire pack alive.

You

will burn in the fire of hell and when it happens.

”

“No one will be speared! No one!”

She screams on top of her lungs and everyone stills to stare at her.

Her aura, I can feel it.

It’s dread resembling nothing but death.

“Well I will wait for that day.

”

My father replies blankly, his face void of any emotion.

And the woman only chuckles on top of her lungs.

“He will come! You all will die! Silver room will be eradicated from the very map of the world!”

“And the only name you will ever remember will be….

”

“Xavier Hunt!”

Slash

Her head rolls over to fall on the ground and a choked cry left my lips.

My eyes snap open and I am brought back to reality.

-Nightmare… it was just my nightmare.

It’s in the past, I did my

best I couldn’t save her.

I try to calm my racing heart.

I try to lift my hand when I realised they have been pinned above my head.

I panicked to look around and that’s when my scared eyes meet my worst nightmare.

Those grey eyes looked at me and I wished to never wake up from my sleep.

“Wakey wakey baby doll.

It’s not a good thing to keep your mate waiting.

Now is it?”

“Xav…ier.

”

I whisper and a psychotic look clouds his eyes.

Karma is real.

and I couldn’t believe in it more,

After meeting him.

He will avenge everything wrong they did to his Reb, and I somehow know I won’t be spared.

“What… what are you doing? Where…where am I?”

I look around to find myself in a dark room.

The lamp hanging from the ceiling over my head was the only thing lighting the

dimly lit place.

“Well, you can call this place your new room.

You will love it here, not to forget you will even have company here.

”

I couldn’t concentrate on his words.

The flashback before I fainted hits me in full force I was more eager to tell him about that black masked man.

He could be an intruder or worse a spy.

“Xavier…I have to tell you something.

”

“There was a masked man in the mansion.

He….

he came and grabbed me from behind.

I tried to scream but he muffled me… he injected me with something.

.

Probably poison.

You need to get him… he could be anywhere right now….

”

He blankly stares at me as I desperately explain the situation.

And then when I thought he will help, he rather starts laughing.

“Masked man? Intruder? On my territory?”

“Yes I swear–aghhh!”

He grips my hair and tugs on them, making my chin align with his nose.

Those grey orbs spit fury.
