Castle Of MILLERs, NY

In the middle of the night, the silvery moonlight spilled from the hands of the night sky, seeping into the shimmering, calm breezes that were accompanied by a thin sheen of fog hovering over the forest.

The dreamlike scenery was almost like a painting.

Amidst the calmness stood a young man in the forest trapped in the fog, walking right into the darkness slowly with his body that was shivering uncontrollably.

He didn't know how he got wet but the coldness was the least of his worries. After all, his mind was somewhere else. Like he wanted to obtain a treasure or solve the biggest mystery of the night.

Everything was dark, too dark and he was sinking in the pool of darkness.

Then suddenly, something grabbed his body forcefully and pushed him forward. Letting out a shocking yelp, he struggled to release himself from the force but darkness swarmed in on him quickly as his heart pounded furiously out of fear and importantly to survive.

His body was in good force and it was futile to fight against it. He struggled and at last, watched helplessly as he was dragged into another deeper ocean of fog and darkness.

'No! No!'

He screamed and used his all strength and then suddenly, he was free from all the force.

He quickly took a few steps back and from a distance, a pair of energetic lights that contained only blackness stared back at him.

He was speechless.

That ray had a mysterious but familiar aura. He stood dumbfounded as his soul was trapped in those black eyes that were staring quietly at his glowing Onyx orbs.

He snapped out of his trances when that mysterious aura turned around in an attempt to leave.

"Wait", He called out loudly.

His trembling voice made that aura stop.

And then he asked again, "Who are you? Did you help me in freeing myself from that force?"

He stared at the aura but only silence answered him.

That aura started to vanish in the darkness as he quickly spoke, "Tell me. Who are you? It's the King's order"

Confused by the events that had just happened made him more confused as he only wanted to know about that familiar aura.

That aura again turned around and walked towards him. He watched that aura with his wide eyes but his heart shook when his eyes found that the entire incident was weird and full of negativity.

Everything was wrong, dark and negative.

Soon, that aura became visible to him only to scramble his world.

That familiar aura was wearing a powder pink gown which turned into the colour red.

"Baby Bubble?"

Zane's heart dropped at the sight of her soaking in blood and thousands of knives were poking her body, slashing her skin, making blood cover her body in it.

His mouth went dry and he marched towards her but she stood calmly at her spot. His eyes wavered and his heart trembled to see her in all blood.

He reached out to pull the knife out of her. He was scared and felt pain crawling into his body making him lifeless.

One by one, as fast as he could do, he pulled the knives out of her body but neither she flinched nor did she cry, y lp or scream in pain.

She stood motionlessly and watched him attempt to save her with her black blank eyes. Like Nothing wrong happened to her.

"Baby Bubble! Why? What happened?"

His mind was unable to form the correct words to ask her. His hand was near to pulling out the last knife which was stabbing mercilessly her heart but Oozing blood twisted his stomach as he felt nauseating and urged to throw up made him turn around and move away from her.

Arika's eyes smiled evilly at seeing him tormented by only seeing blood. But this blood was her strength. The metallic smell of blood gave power to her to fight the enemy and not surrender this early.

Zane threw up, and when he cleared his head and searched for her. He found her again vanishing in the darkness with those thousands of knives cutting her body, blood making her soak.

"Don't go. You are hurt", Zane yelled and tried to walk behind her but again a sudden force stopped him from following her.

"Don't worry. I'll give it to you, your share of pain and suffering soon", Arika stopped and didn't look back at him and then said enchantingly and vanished into the darkness.

Zane woke up pantingly as his heart was pounding frantically inside his chest. His entire body was trembling and covered in sweat.

He saw a dream. No, it wasn't a dream. It was a nightmare that knotted his heart in two different ways.

First to protect his Babby Bubble and secondly, he didn't want to give any wrong sign to her. His mind was trapped and his heart was confused, causing him to face difficulty in making decisions.

Zane stood up from his bed and entered the bathroom. He turned on the water tap and stood under the shower. The chillness of water washed his sweat but didn't clean the fear that was already rooted in his heart.

He washed and wiped his body wore his comfy clothes and walked fast to the study room.

Without knocking and prior notice, he slammed the door open as his chest was heaving up and down fast.

Another Alpha man was sitting there, working hard in the middle of the night, leaving his beautiful queen in the bedroom all alone.

"What do you want, Zane?", Chase asked Zane whose face was pale which didn't go unnoticed by Chase.

"Baby Bubble! I'm going to India right now", Zane said without beating around the bushes.

"You can't act like this now. You are a King", Chase's authoritative tone didn't make Zane flinch instead it added fuel to his fear.

"I'm going right now and I'm not a king. You know this very clearly", Zane's voice was loud enough to echo in the castle.

Chase slammed the table and hovered over Zane in a completely Demonic cold aura that was oozing out of him.
