Do not be misled by his charms and beauty.

Even the devil was said to be the most beautiful angel.

.... Oct pretty..(poem)

"Ahhh, it's good to be back home," a pale man with pale white skin, short brown hair and black eyes said to the man staring outside through the window, he twirled the wine in his hands as he sipped it slowly.

"Are you okay?" he asked the man who kept staring outside the window.

"Am craving" he said and turned his face, he had a long black hair which was neatly tied behind his back, his ocean blue eyes that could make someone drown in them and his kissable pink lips, he stood up slowly, he was tall with broad shoulders and muscles, he was putting on a black shirt and black pants, he was breathtaking.

The brown haired man widened his eyes when he heard what his master just said.

"Didn't you feed during the last full moon?" he asked but earned a glare as an answer.

Ignoring his question the breathtaking man said.

" Guard the place, I am going feeding", he said and left the room.

"Wait, what, haze, haze", the brown haired man called as he rushed to catch up with him.

The breathtaking man could be seen in the forest, his blue eyes replaced with the color red, his eyes scanned the forest like though it was anticipating something. He sighted a white rabbit and licked his lips in anticipation, he was about to approach it when a sweet alluring scent filled the air, the scent refreshed him and he felt satisfied just by perceiving it, he followed the scent as his red eyes scanned the area but strangely the more he got closer to the scent, not only did he feel satisfied, he felt a strong power and a strong force, he allowed the scent to lead him.

He stopped on his track's when he saw the source of this scent and power. A girl with brown curly hair and hazel brown eyes leaping and staring around, it looked like she was lost, but that was not the question, the question was, was she the source of this strange scent and power?

His red eyes turned darker and his canines elongated he tried to control the beast side of him that wanted to taste that sweet scent, he was able to tame the beast because something else was more important than her scent, the power that eluded from her made him feel stronger, the kind of strength that he had yearned for. In a twinkle of an eye he stood right in front of her, he could hear her gasp loudly, shock written all over her face and next, she fainted in his arms.

This was strange, hazel thought. Why was she lying on a very soft bed, she doesn't remember the orphanage having such a soft bed, but soon memories of last night came flooding in her brain and she snapped her eyes opened, she scanned her surroundings, but every where was so dark that she had to blink to make sure her eyes were opened, she touched her body and noticed her clothes were still intact, the only difference was the bandage on her leg, thankfully her savior was kind enough to treat it, but she couldn't remember the face she saw, the image was blurry in her head, she came down from the bed and slowly leaped forward, her leg was sprained a little and see tried to use her hand to get to the window.

"You are awake", a hoarse voice said and Hazel almost screamed, she thought she was alone.

"Hello, who is there? Can you help open the window please?"

"Can't you see me," he asked

Was he drunk, how could she see him when everywhere was thick black, hazel thought.

"No I can't," she answered politely, after all this person might be the one who saved her.

"Too bad, I like the darkness" the voice said and Hazel didn't Know what to reply to that, so silence filled the room again.

2 seconds

5 seconds

10 seconds

30 seconds

1 minute

2 minutes

Hazel couldn't take the silence anymore.

"Hello" she said, and then a bright light lit up the room, hazel blinked couple of times as she tried to adjust her eyes to the light, she could finally see where she was, the room was painted in black, it had a big bed which she layed on before, she scanned the room, forgetting that she wasn't Alone.

"The darkness was better" the voice said and she turned abruptly only to meet face to face with the most breathtaking creature she had ever seen, his skin was so white, his black hair looked so soft and was arranged neatly behind, his soft pink lips and his blue eyes stared directly at her, oh, those broad shoulders and muscles, hazel had never stared at a man before, but this man was so breathtaking that she almost drooled, she got back to her senses when she noticed how close they were and she took a few steps back, but he took a few steps forward, she stepped back again and he moved forward until he caged her by the wall.

In the light he could actually see her, brown curly hair, white skin and red rosy lips and those big hazel like eyes that made her look like a doll.

"Can you move back please?" Hazel found her voice.

The man straightened up and went back to where he sat.

"Who are you?", hazel asked.

"I am me" , he answered, "who are you?" He asked in return Hazel was so speechless for a second, she couldn't help but notice the dangerous aura that eluded him, and her instinct kicked in, even the devil was said to be very beautiful.

"Did you bring me here?" she asked.

"Where you lost?" he asked in return, none of them were willing to answer each other's questions.

"If you saved me and brought me here, thank you, I am sincerely grateful but I would like to go back now", Hazel said as she walked towards the door and tried opening it but it was locked. She hit the door again and again, then gave up.

"Who are you and what do you want?"

"You were in my territory, didn't you know that anyone who enters the forest never comes out alive" he said.

"I am so so sorry, but I have to go. I was chased by some men, So i had to run into the forest. Please let me out" Hazel pleaded, she felt his aura becoming more dangerous.

"You can't leave", he stood up and approached the door, but Hazel blocked him.

"Let me out! She emphasized, but he simply stared at her.

"Let me out or I will scream," she said.

"You can try," he replied and opened the door casually like it was never locked and walked out

Hazel ran to the door and tried opening it but it wouldn't even budge, she ran to the window and tried to open it but to no attempt, it was covered in thick glasses, she looked around for a hard object, she saw a jug and tried hitting the window with it, but not even a crack appeared, she tried over and over again, but neither the jug nor the window had any single crack.

She looked through the window and saw that the ground was far below, how many storeys was this, and how high was she, even if she did Break the window how would she get down.

"Help!!" She screamed her lungs out.

"Someone please help!!" She screamed and screamed over and over again until her lungs went dry, she wasn't even sure if someone could hear her through those thick windows, where was she? She asked no one in particular, having tried every idea she had to escape, she slumped back on the bed tired.
