Escape 4

Paige ran through the dark forest. It was already pretty much dark and the tall trees that covered the whole forest didn't help much either.

Centuries-old trees with sprawling limbs guarded the darkness, and that made it even more difficult for her to look where she was going. The climber hung from one tree to the other like a web of spider. But despite all of this, she sprinted through the dense, dim, tall and endless trees of the dark forest.

The hanging lower branches of the small trees where barely visible in the dark. And while running, she looked up, and saw the patchy sky through the gap of the trees. And before she could rest and see where it going to be completely dark or not, she heard footsteps and she stilled again.

The only sound that was visible now was the whisper of leaves , creaking of tree trunks and crunched of dried leave and the footsteps approached closer and closer.

She took a deep breath to calm herself. And as she breathed in, she could smell her surrounding. The sent of wild flowers, earthy fungus and the musk smell of wild animals made her still.

She licked her lips and gulped a lump that form in her throat.

She was regretting this decision. All she wanted to do was scream and ran away. But now she was lost, that too in the middle of the scary looking forest. What could be more wonderful that this?

She pursed her lips and kicked the small stone near her feet. And that's is when she realized the big mistake she did again.

She stilled and tried to heard each and every noise in the dark forest she was in. But except the sound of leave and crickets, she found nither.

For a second she looked around her surrounding thoughtfully. This tress were long enough to protect her from wild animals as well as the man who has kidnapped her.

She knew that she won't be able to escape this forest in the darkness, so she decided to camp in one of the tree and spend the night.

And just when she was about to climb a tree next to her, which she tough would help her hide, but instead of climbing, she was pulled backwards, and the next second, she was pinned again.

Paige closed her eyes tightly, not wanting to look into his heterochromatic eyes.

"Open your eyes I said!"He commanded.

Finding no other way, Paige opened her. And that when she saw him, in the darkness his eyes looked like a wounded tiger's. She noticed how his right eyes was brown with a splash of blue in colour ,while his left one was electric blue, just like hers.

"You keep quiet like a good girl and walk after me!" His voice held certain authority. And finding no other way she nodded , helplessly.

He pulled her up and that when she noticed the gun strapped in his belt. And her eyes clashed against him.

May be the way she was panicking was visible on her face, he shook his head and said with a blank look in his face, "This one is for the wild animals here, princess. Don't worry, your punishment is waiting for you in the room." He tilted head slightly to have a look at her face.

And when he was fear in her eyes , he was finally satisfied.

He pulled her and made her stand, and the nest second, he interwined his hand with her ad ran through the dark forest.

She knew she lost her fight.

But there was hope. She hope to free herself from this mad man again , but right now, situation demand this action to be taken.

"I told you not run, but you did." He said darkly as he ran through the zig zag path with lead to the mansion.

"And I told you to leave me ,but you didn't" She gritted her teeth and said.

"Keep all your anger for that things that are coming your way, princess. Because I promise, the things that are going to happen from now on, you won't be liking them at all." And with that, he pulled her closer and picked her up in a bridal style.

Paige squealed in surprise and then she squirmed against his hold. She scratched his shoulder and hand as hard as she could, she even tried to headbutt him again, but as if understanding her next move, he pulled her head away and glared at her.

Once entering inside, he placed placed her on the same bed and tired her with a rope. A lethal smile made its way towards his lips as he looked at her form.

Helpless, scared and but not even a hint of vulnerable.

He pursed his lips as he looked at her from head to toe, sending shiver down her spine with his dark gaze.

"Now, now, princess. It time for your punishment. Are you ready?" He mocked and Paige looked away in anger.

" Are you not going to fight anymore , princess? Gave up so soon?" He pouted and looked at her. Paige fist clenched in anger. If only the ropes in her hand were untied. She would have taught him the lesson, that he won't have forgotten through out his entire life.

He looked at her for a moment and then slowly walked closer. With each step he took, Paige's breath hitched in fear.

And one he was close enough for her, he slowly opened his shirt buttons with look of satisfaction in his face.

"W–what are you doing!? Stay away from me!" She warned but he didn't even listen to her. He opened his shirt and threw it away.

His tan ,sculpted bare body was on display. Each dip and and muscles that flexed on his body made Paige panic.

And with one single move he hovered over her. His hand placed on the either side of her face, while his eyes stared at her with amusement.

"Are you going to headbutt me again, Princess?"
