View MoreA heartbeat of time passes; and then all at once, each of them-- Elizabeth, and Jenny-- come to the same decision at the exact same time, completely independent of one another.Adrenaline passes through Elizabeth, blazing hot and sparkling bright like lightning. Move, her brain tells her. Elizabeth doesn’t even have time to think about what she’s doing. One second, she’s standing stock still in shock, and in the next, Elizabeth grips Jenny’s hands, dips at the waist, and gets ready to sprint.Elizabeth doesn’t have a second to fully process that before Tina opens her mouth to say with a snort, “And where do you think y-”Jenny points out a determined finger, and a dagger comes booming out of her hand. It hits Austin square in the chest, sending him catapulting backward out of the door to smash into the tree on the opposite side of the door.In the millisecond of silence immediately after, Jenny screams. “Run!”And Elizabeth takes off.Her ankle shrieks at her to stop as she vaults ove
“Elizabeth…” Jenny says, clearly reading the determination in Elizabeth’s eyes. “I’m sorry. We need you back at the manor. We will try again, please bear with the pain.”Jenny steals her heart and forces herself to hurt Elizabeth again. Elizabeth looks over at her in shock, but a mask of determined resignation coats her face.A wave of nausea spills into Elizabeth’s chest. She can’t stop her voice from trembling as she asks, “Are… are you sure?”“We don’t have a choice right now…”It’s silent in the room for a moment, the drape of quiet only periodically interrupted by the slow drip drip drip of the water. “How are we going to do this?” Elizabeth asks after a second.Don’t think about it don’t think about it don’t think about it“I- “ Jenny darts around the room for anything that could help them remove the chain and something falls into her eyes. She moves to pick it up from the ground.“I- we have a knife.” Jenny swallows hard and palms an angry-looking blade where it rests in her ha
“Did Christian send you? Have you seen him recently? Is he alright?” Elizabeth asks the desperate curiosity tingeing her tone.Jenny is shocked as well, she stands still looking at Elizabeth with what looks like awe and disbelief. Elizabeth’s eyes glow in the dim room brightly like Panther’s. Her pitch-black hair is now turned into auricomous. Elizabeth’s questions snap her out of the trance.“I- No, I didn’t, I don’t know I think it’s bad,” Jenny says with a sigh. She clicks her fingers once more, and the chains tying Elizabeth’s ankles fall apart.Elizabeth winces in relief as the blood flows back into her swollen ankle and bruised wrists. “What do you mean?” she asks as soon as the tingling pain starts to subside.“He- It’s just been… bad since you left,” Jenny says quietly. She shakes her hair and looks over at Elizabeth, who bares her teeth at her. Jenny jumps instinctively, hands up in defense.On unsteady legs, Elizabeth pulls herself to her feet. She firmly ignores the way the
Minutes pass. Elizabeth simply lay on the floor her eyes were blurry, and her gold-colored hair spread on the floor messily. Her eyes gain consciousness when she hears someone talking outside the door."Well, hello there," a voice says from right outside the door, presumably to the guard stationed right outside.Elizabeth immediately sits up alertly. She cranes her head to look at the door.The guards outside declare, "Miss you don't have access to this room. I suggest that you turn around."A chuckle could be heard, then a voice talks "Oh, goodness no. I have authorization," the first voice says happily. There's the momentary sound of rustling fabric. "See?"A beat of quiet ensues, and then the guard makes a noise of confusion. "This is a two-for-one coupon. What the fuck is the "Vampires d-"The guard is quickly cut off by what sounds like someone choking the throat if the strange gurgling sound he makes is any indication. Elizabeth goes ram-rod straight as she listens to the sound
When Elizabeth opens her eyes, she only sees red. Her head throbs and the splitting headache makes her clutch her head tightly as a groan leaves her lips. She is lying on the hard surface something restraining her body making her unable to move from her place. Both her legs are bound by a stainless-steel chain. She tries to move but the pain makes her scream in agony. They are not just harmless binding chains they have punched the chains into her flesh. The floor around her legs is socked red from her blood. She doesn’t recognize the place she is locked in. She doesn’t remember how she got here. Who brought her here? The chain door slowly opens with a creek. Elizabeth lifts her head only to see a familiar face staring at her with a devilish smile on the face. “I see you are up…” the person smirks entering the room. Elizabeth’s eyes widen in shock when she looks at the person standing Infront of her “What are you doing here? Why am I here? Did you kidnap me?” Elizabeth screams at th
Within the hour, Elizabeth finds a lake she had visited with her friends all those years ago. They twist and turn through the pines, and as much as Elizabeth would like to say 'f*ck it' and set off in a straight line to cut her traveling distance down considerably, she's not about to risk getting lost out in this frozen forest hell anytime soon.She briefly wonders what Christian may be feeling right now-"Stop it," Elizabeth snaps over the sound of her teeth chattering. "Stop it." Christian's not her concern anymore.Truthfully, Christian should never have been her concern, and he shouldn't be anywhere near her mind right now when she has so many more significant problems, like how the f*ck she's going to get home, or she's going to explain this whole thing to her family or to her children.Even though she is the Greenwood family's matriarch the side family still has a say in the family's major decisions. And they will not leave this chance to pull her down or to seriously punish her
Christian walks into the dead silent house, and the guards lower their heads in fear when he passes by them. What Christian finds strange is that they don't even lift then heads after greeting, which is suspicious.He enters the house, and the hall is empty. There are no servants or people doing their daily activities or someone who would always be ready to attend to him when he is back at the mansion."Where is everyone?" Christian mutters and walks towards the couch in the living hall and tasks his seat. "Stella," He calls out, but there is no response in any part of the house. "Stella?" He calls out again with irritation and annoyance.Still no response...He rests his head on the backrest and closes his eyes, waiting for anyone. His ears are stretched and alert for any sounds he could hear, indicating any movement or signs of life in the house. But even after a few minutes, the house is dead silent.He slowly opens his eyes, and the ceiling comes into his vision. The only sound he
Elizabeth slowly turns her head to look behind her back. She notices one of the guards approaching her. She is behind the bush, hiding her body as much as possible. She holds her breath and stays still, afraid of making sounds while moving.But the guard still proceeds to move toward the bush. Her heart races with fear, and she tries to be invisible as much as possible.The guard looks around, trying to guess where the sound came from. It was too loud to miss, so he headed toward the group of bushes, trying to see if anyone had sneaked in or broken into the mansion.He peeks behind the bush and stills when he sees the wolf sitting silently, looking directly at him.Elizabeth, who was sitting on the opposite side, didn’t notice the wolf. She covers her mouth and shuts her eyes tightly, praying to god. The wolf looks in the direction Elizabeth is hiding, then it gets up and launches toward the guard, and when the guard ducks, it jumps and runs in the opposite direction.“Catch it. There
Elizabeth waited for her family to come and get her, she was confident they would come, but it never happened. There was no shadow of her family near Christian's mansion.Elizabeth couldn't understand why? She was required to do a ritual to complete the pact in two days, but nobody was there to look for her. She got no visits except for Christian and Earl. Even the maids were not allowed to come to her room.Elizabeth would have been entirely bored these two days if she wasn't worried about the ritual. It will be a crucial period where she will be vulnerable. She will have no control over the flow, and everything will depend on her inner power. Christian has been mysterious and disappears from time to time which makes Elizabeth even more worried. She wants to confront him about that, but she is angry at him right now and is not willing to talk to him.Soon the day for the ritual comes, and Elizabeth can't get an ounce of sleep because of stress and worry. Christian god knows where he
