Devon is to the Right!
Chapter 3- the Castle
When I woke up I felt groggy. I wiped my eyes and saw I was in a weird looking room. It wasn’t mine. I took in everything. I was on a four-post bed in an old looking room. It was all grey bricks with an old fire-place. if you have ever watched any kind of Arthur movie then you would know what kind of room it was. It belonged in a castle. I rubbed my eyes and noticed how the sun was down. But the room was alight with small candles. It sent a sort of weird glow around the room. I gently slid off the bed and walked towards the door. I rested my hand on the cool doorknob but it would budge. The door was locked.
“HELLO?!” I yelled through it. suddenly the door burst open and whacked me in the forehead.
“Oof” I grunted as I fell to the floor.
“You’re awake” a voice said.
“Barely” I replied groaning and holding my throbbing head. I felt myself being cradled in arms and then the person rested me on the bed again
“Eat this” he commanded. I frowned unable to see his face properly.
“What is it?” I asked looking at what he put in front of me
“Food?” he said it as a question.
“Who are you?” I asked
“That is none of your concern” he replied and then I heard the door slam shut. I jumped off the bed and had to wait a few minutes before the black dots subsided and then I was able to look for my bag. I found it hidden amongst the blankets. I searched through until I could find my phone but it wasn’t there. I felt my breathing becoming rapid and I was getting scared. I looked out the window and saw I was very high up in the castle. Maybe if I climbed out of it I could run to home. Dad was probably worried.
“I wouldn’t even think about it” a voice mused from behind me. I gasped and spun around. My eyes widened. I have seen him before. He was the guy from my dream last night.
“I know you” I said in a breathless voice. He raised an eyebrow
“What is your name?” he asked
“Amalia” I replied. He nodded and then was in my face in a second. I yelped and backed away slightly.
“Please don't be afraid” he whispered. I still didn't move and he then looked angry. He slammed his fist on the wall and it left a huge hole. He stormed out of the room slamming the door and I heard it lock. I ran to the door and tried to open it before I felt my eyes fill with tears. I walked back to the window and sank down to the floor and bringing my knees to my chest. I bawled my eyes out. I was kidnapped by some weird, hot guy and I was being held in a weird room. Wait a second. I know where I am! I stood and looked out the window and at other parts of my location. I was in the castle! The creepy castle. I had to get out of here
I walked to the door and banged on it until I heard it unlocked and he walked into the room.
“I need the bathroom” I said with an innocent expression. The guy before me sighed and grabbed a hold of my wrist and began yanking me out the door.
“Ouch loosen your grip” I begged. He looked at me and sighed before slightly loosening his grip. He threw me into a bathroom which looked newer than the actual castle. He shut the door behind him and was just standing there staring
“Go” was all he said
“I can’t go with someone watching” I said putting my hands on my hips. He glared and then stepped out of the bathroom door. I walked up and locked it. as soon as I did that I began looking for an escape. I found the window and it was just small enough for me to get out. I tucked my dress into my underwear and as silently as I could, I opened the window. I looked and saw a small distance between the window and a small ledge. I climbed out and stepped onto the ledge. I breathed in the night air made my way towards a balcony that stood above another and then another and then there was the ground. I was halfway to the balcony when I heard the bathroom door burst open and then seconds later his head was poking out of the window
“Get back here Amalia” he yelled to me
“No” I called back I took another step when the brick under my foot crumbled and I screamed as I fell. I grabbed onto the ledge and was dangling there
“Hold on Amalia I will be right there” he urged
“Well I’m not going anywhere am I?!” I yelled back. He muttered a curse and then was gone from the window. Within seconds he was on the balcony just a few meters from me
“I’m going to climb up and get you” he stated surely. I rolled my eyes and tried to change my grip on the ledge. It was hurting so badly. The look he gave me had me thinking that I was in so much trouble when he saved me and I didn't want to be in this situation. I took one look at him and knew I would rather die than be in this castle any longer. He frowned and then his eyes widened
“NO don't do it!” he yelled. I clenched my jaw and let myself drop. I let out a scream and then I was in solid arms. I looked up and stared at this stranger. I noticed how the guy who kidnapped me was still on the ledge
“Trying to escape huh Drake, good start” the guy called up to my k-napper. I gulped and struggled to get out of his arms. He let me go and I stood there looking for the front gate or something
“Yes can you please hold her there?” the guy- Drake called down to the man who caught me. I took this opportunity to run for the gate. I got there and gripped onto it before the guy who caught me grabbed onto my waist and pulled. I started crying and struggling as I held on to the bars
“HELP!” I screamed through my tears. But there was no response. I was yanked off the gate and I curled into a ball and sobbed. I was going to be killed most probably. There was blood on my hands from the ledge and I had a cut on my lip and a cut on my forehead from the wolf thing. the person carrying me walked right into the castle and then put me down beside him. I noticed actually lights in this part. To me this place looked re-done. Like marble floors and lights and a television. I wiped my eyes but the tears kept falling. It had finally hit me that I was kidnapped and I was never going home.
“Now are you going to run again or does Drake have the chain you to something?” the guy asked. I now had a good look at his face and he was as flawless as Drake. I was breathing hard and then Drake was down looking at me with a tight jaw.
“Your little stunt could have gotten you killed! Good thing he was here to catch you” Drake said through a tensed jaw
“I wanted it to kill me! I am not going to be trapped in some castle with some creepy guy who have unbelievably odd skills and is forceful. I would rather die!” I yelled. My voice was shaky through my tears. A look of hurt crossed his face and I instantly felt slightly bad but the moment the hurt passed, the guilt was gone. He gripped the top of my shoulders
“You are not going to die. Are you listening to me? I am not going to let you die for god’s sake! You live here now and no-where else!” his grip was tight.
“No I don't. I live with my dad because my mum and four-year-old brother was slaughtered! I live with him. And you are just a creep kidnapper!” I screamed struggling free of his grasp. Before I knew it he had pulled me into his chest and was holding me tightly. I struggled and hit his chest but he held me and eventually I broke down and started crying. I was finally letting my mind know that my family was dead. My knees gave out but Drake held me up.
“I know who she is!” the guy said.
“Devon shush” Drake snapped.
“It’s her isn't it? the one?” he asked
“Yes Devon now go” Drake said like he couldn’t be bothered fighting anymore.
“Whatever dude but I will be back tomorrow” he said before leaving. I heard the big door close and then Drake gently stroked my hair
“How about some food?” he asked gently. I nodded and he scooped me up into his arms and carried me into this massive stainless-steel kitchen. He set me down on the bench that was near the stove and next to the fridge. I slumped against the fridge and closed my eyes whimpering. When I opened them I noticed how Drake was cooking and it looked yummy. He had a glass of red wine next to him. he sipped it and then put it down.
“Can I have some?” I asked quietly. He looked at me and then at his wine
“Not this stuff. I will get you something else” he said showing a small smile and then reaching into the fridge and handing me a bottle of juice. I drank it gratefully
“Am I ever going to get set free?” I asked. he grimaced
“You aren’t here to die. I just want to get to know you. This is your home now” he said. it was like we were married.
“What did Devon mean?” I asked
“About what?” his jaw was suddenly tense
“About me being ‘her. the one?” I asked
“What? Don't listen to Devon he is weird” Drake said waving it off. I wanted to know what he meant. Drake handed me the plate and I took a bite of my toasted sandwich. Drake leaned against the counter in front of me. He folded his arms and watched as I ate.
“those wolves, were they going to kill me?” I asked. Drake grimaced
“Yes” he replied
“Were they hungry?” I asked
“No they wanted to kill you” he said. I nodded not digesting it properly
“But you killed them first?”
“Yes”
“Thank you” I said taking another bite. I watched as the sun rose behind Drake and it illuminated his silhouette like an angel.
“Anytime” was his response. I took the last bite of my food and then placed the plate on the sink edge and washed it then wiped it
“You didn't have to do that” he said
“Yes I did” I replied. he smiled then. A real one and it made me kind of melt. I felt like I have known him from somewhere.
“Do I know you from somewhere?”
“Your dreams?”
“That and somewhere else. I don't know but you know how you get those feelings that you have met someone before. That sounds crazy I must be over-tired” I said frowning.
“I have that feeling too” he said so quietly.
“Will I ever see my dad again?” I asked
“Maybe?” he didn't sound so sure of himself.
“I think I need a long sleep” I said wiping my hands. Drake nodded and he offered me his hand. I don't know why I took it but I did and he led me back to another room. One that was more modern
“You can have this room” he said smiling and then heading out. I sighed and fell on the bed falling asleep instantly.
