3. Those Red Blue eyes

When they finally arrived the quests were climbing out of their cars and entering through a enormous gate that followed by a massive park with dining tables and bars. Rose and her friends hopped out and walked through the gate. “Miss May I have your name?” One of the bodyguards at the gate asked Rose. “Uhh. Sure it’s Rose Darsen.” She’d reply a little shocked. When she turned around the bodyguards were asking her friends the same question as well. Probably quest lists or something. “Thank you miss. Enjoy the night.” He said and a eerie smile crept on his face. “O-Okay...” Rose replied walking quickly to her friends. “Guys did anyone find that a little suspicious?” She’d ask. The feeling then crept over her skin. It felt as if a predator was stalking its prey. Someone’s watching us or rather watching me... Stephanie and Juri looked at Rose as if she was overreacting again. “Girl you feeling okay?” Juri asked. “That’s just what they do, I guess.” Stephanie added. “Let’s just start partying!!” Juri shouted rushing into the crowd. “Better follow her before she does something stupid.” Stephanie chuckled before giving a wink and following Juri. Rose sighed heavily. And alone again, great! She made her way to the bar as she walked through the crowd. She’d glance around a couple of times making sure no one follows her like the night before. Nothing. “Odd...” Rose mumbled. “Excuse me miss, did you say something?” “Hmm, Ohhhh!! Sorry mumbling to myself.” Rose smiled. “Want something to drink miss?” The bartender asked. “Uhh a small strawberry cocktail please.” She said. She never drank and she wasn’t into drinking, but tonight she was nervous. Just when she wanted to take a sip she heard a familiar voice. “How’s it going girl?!” Rose gazed into crowd. Juri?! She spotted Juri swaying around as she slowly walked to her. “O-Okay I guess?? Are you alright Juri?” Rose said as her friend basically fell into a hug. “Y-Yeah girl!! You should taste their drinks! I-It’s magnifico!” Juri loadly said in a single breath. “How much did you drink?” Rose aksed a bit worried. “O-Only 5! That isn’t much right? I-I should d-drink mo-” Juri then suddenly passed out and slapped the drink out of Rose’s hand. The glass shattered everywhere and Rose quickly covered her friends face. Rose felt the stings as the glass cut through her skin. She was still barely holding onto drunk Juri when she looked at the crowd ignoring the blood on her face and arms. The crowd started passing out as well. Only she was still fully awake... “J-Juri you gotta wake up!! Something’s not right!” Juri’s fingers slightly twitched and she tightly squeezed Rose’s hand. What is Juri trying to say?? Rose thought and then she heard it. Someone was talking on the intercom or mic. *“Ladies and gentlemen!! You may already be paralyzed by now. My oldest son may decide his prey and after that his younger brother will also do so. Soldiers, citizens and family if my youngest son then gives the signal you may feast!” ** *She heard someone laugh at the end and goosebumps started appearing on her skin. “I won’t leave you Juri, I promise..”

Rose struggled as she dragged her friend away from the bar and into a huge maze. Wait there’s a maze? She’d glance around. Sh*t. This isn’t good. Hopefully it’s safe. She dragged her friend a couple of meters into the maze before walking into a dead end. She’d sigh as she dragged Juri in and setting her down behind a barrel full of flowers. Rose felt confused, scared and weak as she slowly sat down and watched the entry. She’d wince when she accidentally brushed her bruised arm against a bushy stick. Sighing she rested her head on the grass. Just when her eyes were starting to close she heard a faint chuckle coming closer. “Silly mortal girl. You think you can hide from me?! The rest are already paralyzed as well as your pour friends.” It was a dark and low voice. Rose’s breathing picked up and she felt the same way she felt the night before. Under a predators gaze. Glancing at her friend she stood up and hesitated, before running out of their hiding place and into a different direction. It’s my time to be brave and save my friend!! “Human you can’t escape me.” He’d chuckle. Rose ran as fast as her legs could carry her, but she couldn’t help but feel attracted to the low and reckless tone of the voice.

She ran through a wide passage and saw the exit. Just when she thought she made it out someone grab her by the waist and turned her around. Rose closed het eyes while she twisted and turned, but the person holding her was to strong. The person made a weird rumbling noise. Growl. She’d thought before she opened her eyes and found that the person’s face was just a inch from hers. She could feel his breathing. When Rose then looked at his eyes she felt a sharp pain struck through her heart. Those blue and red eyes. Where did she see them before? I-It’s the same guy as the one I saw in my room. She remebered. The person then stopped growling before picking her up and walking back to the bar where everything first happened. Rose tried to move again, but she couldn’t. She felt like a animal that knew it wasn’t going to survive. Rose started to see speckles of darkness around her eyes. No no. Not know, I don’t wanna pass out. Trying to stay awake Rose’s eyes flickered open and close. Her captor slowly nodded. He slightly made a rumbling sound before he glanced at her with those blue and red eyes. She tried to stay awake a bit longer, but her eyes wouldn’t let her as she felt the darkness surrounding her...

When she woke up she wasn’t at the celebration party anymore. She was laying on a cold concrete floor surrounded by metal bars. A Cell!! Was the first thing that crossed her mind as Rose slowly pushed herself off of the ground. A look at her filthy dress she felt a slight of guilt and sadness wash over her, but then she quickly pushed it away. Rose felt for the bruise on her arm, but it was gone. Strange. A memory flickered in her mind. A man was standing next to her. He touched her bruised arm gently. She could feel the pain lessening and then it was gone. When she slowly looked up to see who it was she saw red and blue eyes.

The memory then faded. A faint blush appeared in her cheeks. H-he healed my wound?! What the hell is he? She gave herself a pinch on the shoulder. This isn’t the time for boys!! Rose took a deep breath before she examined the metal bars. She could get through them. They aren’t that close to each other. She made a attempt to walk to the bars, but then felt something heavy on her right leg keeping her away from her escape route. She looked at the staircase a few meters away from the bars. A small light shone at the top of the staircase. Rose glanced at her leg. The metal chains were firmly and tightly wrapped around her leg. Sighing deeply she checked her surroundings for another way out. Then she saw it. In her cell there were yellow glowing eyes staring straight at her. She defensively put her arms over her chest. “W-Who are you? S-show yourself!” She shouted rather frightened. The figure walked out from the shadows and surprisingly it was a girl with blonde long hair and yellow eyes. “I’m not here to harm you. I’m a prisoner just like you.” The girl said. Rose stayed quiet. “These bastards turned me into a beast!!” She hissed. Rose stepped back a little. She felt her back press against the wall. The girl turned her head towards Yunji and glanced at her with sorrow. “I-I’m sorry.” She apologized before walking back into the shadows.

She felt sorry for the girl but didn’t say anything. She sat down in the corner with her legs against her stomach, burring her face in her arms as tears started flowing down her cheeks and landing on the cold hard floor. She heard some faint footsteps in the distance, but that was all before she fell asleep.
