Chapter 8 - Red-Eyed Monster
Walking in the gardens, making sure to not get my dress dirty, my high heels hit the pavement crispy as I gave out a long sigh.
Finally, I'm away from that dreadful party!
Most girls would thrive as the centre of attention. Not me.
It reminds me of back then. When I was locked in a cage, kept between bars made of metal with no escape.
However, he was the only one to offer me a hand.
Where would I have been if he hadn't extended out a hand to me?
Offered me warmth, a place to stay?
As Mati says... I'm a Princess.
I then knelt down next to a white rose bush and a smile brushed over my lips again.
Touching the beautiful white rose, I smiled. Suddenly, a prick from a thorn made me jolt backwards.
Holding onto my finger, I watched as a small bead of blood formed on it.
I went to put my thumb in my mouth when I heard a rustle in the bushes.
The shadows of the trees made me shiver as I staggered upwards, nervously walking backwards.
My pulse started to rapidly beat as I suddenly realised that the garden around me wasn't as beautiful as it was scary.
Walking backwards, my back suddenly hit something.
The scent of pine cones and fresh cut grass...
My body started to shiver as I slowly turned my head around, my hands trembling.
When I did, I was about to scream when I looked at him.
A man with hair as white as pure snow and his eyes as red as two rubies looked right at me.
I didn't move. How could I?
I felt like he could have ripped my neck off in a split-second if he wanted to.
Just don't move... everything will be okay.
The man then looked right down at my hand, where the blood had started to trickle down it.
He grabbed my wrist and I immediately forced myself to stop shivering.
Bringing the bloodied finger up, he looked right at the blood and then pressed the finger onto his lips.
My eyes closed tightly, expecting him to eat my finger clean off.
However, to my surprise, all he did was lick at the wound until it was healed.
His first initial lick, his eyes went wide and went back to a more natural deep brown.
He then looked right at me and it was almost like time stopped at that moment.

Why aren't you running?
Why aren't I running? I should have been safely back in the dancing hall by now.
The music echoed throughout my ears, but none of it entered.
Don't be afraid... you swore never to fear another human being again.

You might be a serial killer. Leading you right to the place where the party is going would endanger the guests.
He then brought a hand up to my cheek and I shivered as he brushed a lock of hair behind my ear.

It's been a while since someone hasn't ran away from me.
This man... there is something about him that is simply hypnotising...
