Chained to the prince of darkness by Lunasads (books for 10th graders TXT) 📖

My mind stopped working the moment he said those words. These four words held so much shock and disbelief. I tried to sink in his words but my mind was not working anymore. Marry? Like wedding? Our wedding? 

Why was he so adamant to ruin my life more than he already had? Was this his another one of the ways to break me? Or was he trying to conquer me?

Wasn’t breaking me enough for him that he decided to break my soul and dignity too. How could I marry him? How in the hell could I ever thought of marrying him?

"No." I screamed as I tried to scrambled away from him. I wanted to get away from him as far as possible. A threatening growl reverberated through his chest as he extended his arm and pulled me towards him, making me wince in pain. 

"I'm not asking your for your acceptance. I'm telling you, we are getting married." He nearly growled in my face. How could he expect me to marry him when he had broke me beyond repair?

Marriage was the beginning—the beginning of the family. Marriage was protruded by love and care and was a life-long commitment. And I would never ever commit my life to this monster.

I was angry. I was not going to marry him. My brain refused to think anything, only his words were running in my mind. 

Marriage, wedding.

Anger get the best of me as my hand collided with his face. His face didn't even moved an inch, instead my hand started stinging with pain. My eyes widened with fear as I thought what had I done. I backed away from him as his eyes looked up at me with so much rage and anger.

"I—I," my words remained in my throat as he grabbed me by my hairs and pulled me up. A scream left my throat as he dragged me by my hairs and walked out of the room. 

"I did-didn't mean.....Ah!" I screamed loudly as he slammed me against the wall of the hallway and gripped my throat in tight hold. By now I was panicking. My eyes were watering with pain and my whole body was throbbing with the impact.

"One more fucking word and you are fucked." He growled in my face and leaned down and circled his huge arms around my knees and hoisted me on his shoulder. Whole hallway turned upside down as blood rushed in my brain making me dizzy. I tried to wiggle but nothing worked. 

I screamed and cried despite his warnings but he didn't even paid any heed to my cries. My heart was thumping loudly in my chest making my breath uneven. I feared him, I feared the consequences, I feared his anger. I was clearly and utterly scared. 

He kicked opened the door with his foot and my eyes widened in recognition, this was his room, his dark hell. Sight of his room was enough for making me more panicked. 

"Leave me." I screamed until my voice become hoarse. He loosened his hold and threw me on bed making me bounce. I scrambled away from him as soon as he backed away. My eyes were trying not to look up at him but I did. His eyes were glowing red with fierceness and madness. The veins of his arms were protruding like roots of tree. 

His veins were black, making me shiver more. 

Everything about him screamed danger. His eyes were already making me fear for my life.

I backed away as he moved.

"Wa—wait I...I didn't mean to.." I cried out, fearing his next move. My throat was already sore by all his choking and my scalp was already burning with intense amount of pain that he made me go through. No words could describe the amount of fear I was feeling.

"Please." I almost begged. My voice was shaking with immense amount of fear. His presence was intimidating and dangerous.

"I am not a human, I never was. So why are you expecting me to act like one." His voice resonated in whole room. I knew that very well that he was not a human. I wanted him to kill me right? Then why? Why was I fearing?

Something snapped in him as he closed his eyes and clenched his hands, like he was trying to control himself. After what felt like hours, he opend his eyes. His eyes flickered between his original color as his black veins vanished. 

His blue eyes glared down at me, his eyes held so much anger still. His blue eyes were more darker than brown one I've ever seen. I gulped as he smirked.

"Take a bath and go to sleep." He said and vanished into thin air. 

I remaind glued to my spot, waiting for him to come back and start choking me again but nothing, nothing happened. He didn't come back. I quickly get up and ran to bathroom and closed the door behind me. 

I washed away my tears. Maybe he had forgave me. I was too shocked to register what had happened few minutes ago. After taking few deep breaths and making sure he was not coming back, I brushed my teeth and jumped in shower. After taking a thirty minutes long bath, I walked out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe and walked in the closet. 

I shuffled through closet as I tried to find something to wear, but didn't find anything. I sighed as I take out his shirt and boxers and changed into them. I walked out of the closet and get under the sheets. Thinking about all the events that has taken place in recent days. Sinking in all the information that has been told to me.

My eyes watered with all the memories but there was nothing left in my hands. Fate has decided to play cruel game with me and I was a mere pawn in the game. My eyes closed automatically as my body felt exhausted and tired. It didn't take anymore time for me to drift into darkness.

As morning came, the golden sun covered the whole dark sky with its rays of sunshine, converting it into bright blue sky. The trees around castle danced with breeze as large grand garden filled with colorful flowers, blossomed in happiness.

Sarah groaned as rays of sunshine hit her face. She tried to pull the sheets on her face but her eyes shot opened as someone snatched the duvet off her. She quickly get up and glared at the person.
