Chapter 10 BACK WITH THE DEVIL.

Hazel opened her eyes slowly, and when she recognized where she was, she burst into tears.

She layed on her bed just crying and Wondering why she has the most tragic life ever. First, her parents were taken away from her leaving her as a traumatized orphan. Second she had to deal with things she never understood, and deal with people calling her names and looking down on her. Third, she had to work 3 to 4 part-time jobs to keep living even though everyday she felt worthless. And when she had just gotten used to her miserable life, she got kidnapped for no reason and by some weird people. When she thought she had found a way to escape. somehow, somewhere she ended up here again.

Tears gushed down from her eyes and her loud sobs could be heard by haze who was in his bedroom, but he refused to check-in on her, he refused to see her.

Scott and Henry walked across the room when they heard the loud sobs, Scott gave Henry a one sided eye, urging him not to go. But Henry being the curious cat that he was, opened the door and walked in.

"Sorry, for barging in, but you were crying so loudly that I couldn't ignore".

Hazel sobbed softly as she cleansed her tears and covered herself with the duvet. Ignoring Henry, she continued crying.

It's been two days since her failed escape. Two days and haze never set foot in her room. Hazel was looking pale and weak, she had refused eating and barely even drinking water, all she did was bathe, think and sleep. She had finally decided that it was best to just go numb and end it all, since her life was worthless.

"At this rate haze she might die," Scott reported to haze.

"Scott, just do something, talk to her or use force, I thought you knew how to handle humans?" Haze replied to him.

"Umm, that's offensive, I know how to handle humans better," Henry chipped in.

"Then what's stopping you from making her eat like every other human being".

"Oh, I have tried, but she is one hell of a stubborn human". Henry said, casually biting his fingers and ignoring haze glare.

"Haze, if she dies, then it's not worth it. I think it's time you start practicing what needs to be done".

"Yes bro, make her faaaaaaall in love with you". Henry sang with his cricket voice.

"Shut up!" Haze replied.

"First step we need to take is keeping her alive". Scott said he was tired of both haze and Hazel.

Suddenly a maid rushed in with her head bowed.

"And who gave you the right to barge in without knocking? Haze angrily asked.

"Am so sorry my Lord, but I had to report an important issue".

"What is it?" Scott asked.

"The lady in the guest room suddenly fainted". She said, shivering.

Haze felt a brief pain in his heart, and the thought of losing his mate made his heart ache more.

He stood up with an angry face.

"Punish all those who were supposed to be in charge of her".

. Hazel saw herself in a white long gown. Everywhere was painted in white and nothing was there, it was just like a white blank sheet of paper.

But she suddenly heard footsteps and she turned back, she saw her mother who was also dressed in a white long gown, her black hair was tied in a ponytail and her skin was as white as snow. Hazel's mother smiled at her, and Hazel smiled back. She rushed in an attempt to reach her mother, but she suddenly hit her body on what seemed to be a thin transparent glass.

Her mother blew her a kiss and proceeded to leave. Hazel called out.

"Mum! Mum, please take me with you", she yelled with teary eyes.

Her mother's soft voice echoed in return.

"You are home."

Hazel opened her eyes, waking up from the strange dream. She looked up and her eyes met haze, they both stared at each other until haze eyes slowly turned light red, and Hazel was left in shock.

Henry coughed at the awkward moment, bringing them back to reality.

"Have you finally come to your senses, or do you just wish to die?" Haze asked

"I wish to go back to where I belong, but if that's not possible, then dying is also an option".

"How about we make a deal until I get what I want from you, you get to stay here. But when I have successfully gotten it, I'll give you a huge amount of money. You can start a new new life with your supposed brother".

"What is it you want from me?" Hazel asked.

"You don't need to Know, but my money can sponsor you for a lifetime and more". He said.

"And what if the thing you requested from me would take my soul and make me a living corpse?" She asked back with her eyebrows up. And for the first time, haze eyes twitched, like though he cared about her.
