The Cursed Human

Chapter 23



Warm rays of sunshine hit my face as I pulled duvet over me. My eyes were still sleepy even though I had slept for….. I didn’t knew. I blinked on confusion. The last thing I remembered was—© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

He was feeding me.

My eyes shot open as my eyes scanned my surroundings. This room was not where I was staying. This room was more darker than previous one. Only light from sun was coming through ceiling to floor window. Dark curtains were drapped down the other windows, making this room seem more—

My thoughts stilled as I felt something or particularly someone, moving behind me. That’s when I realised that something was smacked around my waist. Cautiously, I moved duvet off me and looked down. Strong, muscular arm, particularly belonging to someone, was smacked around my waist.

Someone was sleeping behind me.

No! no! no! no! no! no!

Oh my god!

I gulped down the fright and tried to move away. When I felt I succeeded, I was pulled towards hard chest as whoever was sleeping behind me, tightened his hold on my waist. A whimper escaped my lips. Adrenaline pushing through my veins.

“Don’t move.”

My eyes widened as his voice ranged in my ears.

He… he was sleeping behind me.

No, he was sleeping with me!

My heart accelerated with the speed of light. Beads of sweat started forming on my head, my chest, my armpits. Suddenly breathing become irrational. I was sleeping with my captor.?

“Stop!” He growled again.

I didn’t know what he was referring to until I felt my hands trembling. I was shaking violently, my hands were trembling, my whole body was in shaking mode like a leaf. The growl reverberating from his chest made my knees weaken.

“Stop shaking!” He commanded.

I couldn’t stop. He got me so scared. Only thought of me sleeping with him couldn’t set well with my brain. I almost screamed as he flipped me around on my back. He hovered over me, eyes penetrating through my soul.

“Stop-” He leaned in as he become more annoyed. Nothing seemed to work. The more frustrated he get, more worse I get.

“Pl.. plea.. se!” By this time I didn’t know what I was asking for.

“I said stop shaking!” He growled like a beast as he punched the headboard. Loud crack could be heard. He was getting frustrated, it was visible.

My body was not ready to stop, I was terribly scared. I put my hands on his chest to push him away, and immediately shivered from the contact. His eyes dilated from the sudden contact, turning red. Fear overkicked my senses and retracted my hands and tried to slide from under him. Before I could move, he grabbed my both wrists and pinned them above my head with his one hand.

“L.. let go… Ple.. please—” I whimpered. Tears were at rim of my eyes.

Something flashed through his eyes as he leaned in my hairs and inhaled deeply. His hold tighten around my wrists making me hiss in pain. I was completely at his mercy. Suddenly, I felt myself being released. He let go of my wrists and abruptly pulled away and get off the bed, leaving my panicked self. I quickly pulled duvet upto my chest.

I went to crawl out of bed when he growled warningly. Air left my lungs as I saw him, he was almost naked only wearing dark sweatpants, leaving his chest bare. His body was? well sculpted, well defined. He was tall in statue with broad shoulders, making him look more intimidating then he already was. The absence of shirt on him made my heart race with anxiety.?

He was sleeping with me like this.

My lips trembled as I clutched sheets tighter to my chest. He raised an irritated brow, as he took a step towards the bed. He didn’t liked me hiding myself.

“Drop it.” He demanded. I didn’t even dared to looked at him, shifting my weight, moving back until my back was against the headboard. And clutched the sheets tighter.

“Drop the fucking sheets… or I’ll rip them off you.” His brows narrowed, making my breath hitch.

I dropped the sheets and avoided his eyes, my eyes lowered down. And that’s when all hell broke loose.

My eyes widened as I take in my clothing, what I was wearing. A white button up shirt was clinging to my body, it was loose, very very loose. The tracings of my nipples were visible, making me shudder in fear. My hands involuntary move to cover my chest.

How… how did this happen?

As far as I remembered I was wearing that red dress, I didn’t remember changing my clothes! Then— how?

After he feed me, I didn’t remember anything. My breathing shortened as epinephrine released, I was confused, angry, scared.

How dare he?

Fury overtook my senses as I glared at him, not caring if he was human or inhumane. I didn’t cared if his eyes were red or blue or grey or any of fucking colour Not caring about my almost naked self, I get up and strode towards him. I raised my hand to slap him across the face.

A loud thud echoed around the room.

Before my hand could colloid with his cheek, everything happened with speed of light he wrapped his hand on my throat, and smashed me against the wall.

“That was a fucked up move.” He grinned, making me shiver. No, this was not supposed to happen. He was supposed to get slapped, not other way around. His grip tightened up as my eyes bulged out. I opened my mouth, grasping for air, but nothing. My feet dangling from ground.

So this was how I was supposed to die, in the hands of my captor.

Black dots started dancing in front of my eyes, as I tried to pry his hand off.

This waa it.

I ws going to die.

As I thought my heart was going to stop, he harshly let go of me. My knees come in contact with floor, as I grasp for air. I take big gulps of oxygen, fulfilling the need of lungs.

My eyes started burning with unshed tears.

“You don’t listen, don’t you!” He growled. I jumped slightly, afraid he might snap again.

“Perhaps I should just tie you up to my bed, if you don’t want to listen.” He mused. Threat was evident in his voice. Nothing was calm about, he was a monster in disguise. How can he be so cruel, he almost killed me three times. He manhandle me like…… like I was his, his to play with, his to do anything he pleasesed.

The burning in my neck was painful, making me hard to breathe. I was afraid that he might have squeezed my windpipe. He was still standing near me, towering over me. I couldn’t bring myself to look up at him, afraid that he might choke me again.

I screamed when he grabbed me by my upper arm and started dragging me, air left my lungs. I was not ready for his torture…… not again.

“Le.. let me go! Please…. I’…. I’ll ne.. ver disobey you.! P…. please!” I begged as he threw me on bed. My body bounced with sudden force. But he just stood there, looking at me with blood red eyes. And instead of doing anything, he disappeared in thin air, leaving me terrified. For a moment I didn’t understand what just happened. But soon composed myself.

He left.

Thank god he lef—

The door opened with loud thud, scaring the hell out of me. I looked startled as Sandra came in, looking…. was that fear I see? Yes! She was scared. Her hands were shaking, her face was sweaty, her breathing was abnormal.

“My lady, p-please get ready, Lord is waiting for you.” She said. Her words were shaking, making me more scared.

I was going to say no.

But then sight of him choking me again doesn’t sit well with me. I immediately stood up and take the clothes from her, rushed towards bathroom. I closed the door and stood in front of mirror.

This was not me.

The girl stood in front of me was unrecognisable, with dark circular ring decorating her neck, hairs scattered all over the face, face flushed, tears dancing in her eyes.

My eyes lowered down as I take in my body. I was wearing a white button up shirt, reaching my mid thigh, the sleeves were too long, my nipples were clearly visible.

Making me shudder in disgust.

He didn’t only strip me off my clothes, he stripped me off my dignity too.

“Hurry, My lady.”

I wiped my tears and undressed. Warm water felt too good on my skin. After taking shower, I put on clothes, which consist of a light pink colour dress with dark pink flowers. The sleeves were bell type and dress reached my mid thighs. It was beautiful. Nude colour heels were already beside the bed when I opened the bathroom door. I pit it on and pin two strands of hair from front, to back leaving rest of them flow like waterfall. It was not like I ha e to impress someone. I just want to get out of here as soon as possible.

Sandra motioned me to follow her. We reach same dinning room.

Looking at this room brings back not so old memories. I gulped down the fear. My eyes scanned the whole room. It was same like before, only difference was that there were people present here, whose faces I don’t want to see.

Falcon.

Angie.

Nancy.

Alexa.

A man with blonde hair.

A women with silver hair

A man with silver hair.

And a women. I must say she was beautiful. Her long raven hairs were shining like stars. They looked soo smooth and shinny. Her flawless skin looks untouched, spotless. She was wearing a green floor length chiffon dress. Making her look epitome of beauty.

She smiled at me. I was going to return her smile but then—

They eere not human, Sarah!

I averted my eyes and froze there.

“We’re getting late.”

My eyes shot open as cold hand made contact with my back. It was him. He gently pushed me forward, making me walk. His hands were on my waist, making my skin tingle. This was not what I was suppose to feel. I could feel everyone’s gaze on us, well particularly on me. I looked down, didn’t wanted to meet their gazes. He pulled out a chair for me, I sit there and then he sit on head of table. I was sitting on his right, with Falcon on my right, women with raven hair was sitting on his left, opposite of me, and Angie was sitting on her left, women with silver hair was sitting next to Angie and blonde was sitting next to Falcon, and silver haired man was sitting on blondie’s right. Alexa was sitting on blondie’s lap, why I didn’t know?

Maybe he was her father, stupid!

“So… umm.. Kendrio want you to come over.”

“We are not here for this discussion, Aphrodite.”

Okay, so her name was Aphrodite. Well this name suited her beauty.

“But you have to, you know what will happen if you will deny that, Lucifer!”

I didn’t know what they were taking about, but whatever it was, it seemed important. I did one one thing which I find moat appropriate at that moment.

I minded my own business. I dig in whatever was placed in front of me. I was hungry.

“I will REPEAT, We aren’t here for this discussion.” Lucifer aka red eyes monster, growled.

Aphrodite sink in het seat, afraid probably. I would have done the same. He scares everyone, I see.

Whatever it was, it was delicious. It seemed like pancakes but they were little—

“So when is the wedding?”

Wait, wait, wait!

What!

Wedding!

I quickly looked up to find everyone looking at me but this is not what scares me. My blood drained as my eyes bulged out.

Lucifer was smirking at me.

This was what scared me.

Was I forgetting anything?
