Chapter 48

Some weeks had passed and I've been avoiding Damian ever since that incident. Today Diamond informed me that they had guests, so I decided to keep myself busy. While they made preparations for the arrival of their guest, I was in the library reading some novels.

I spent the whole day in the library, I looked at the time and it's 7: 00pm. I can't believe I spent the whole day in the library. I decided to go out to stretch my legs. I went to the garden and I heard your name, I looked behind me but there was one there.

I ignored the voice in my head, I went to the garden. I found roses everywhere, I sat close to the rose. I tried to take on but I was pricked by its thorn. I hissed in pain. "Aren't you aware that roses have thorns?" A voice asked. I looked up and I saw a handsome gentleman standing in front of me.

He knelt down beside me, he took my finger and he placed it in his mouth. For a moment my brain completely had a malfunction. His mouth was so hot but his lips were quite cold. Then I realized that he's a Vampire and if he keeps licking my finger, he might get my addicted and then he'd show up my room at night.

"I wouldn't come to your room at night and I wouldn't get addicted to your blood" The guy said. Wait did he just read my mind? "Although I find your blood quite fascinating" The guy said. I quickly withdrew my hand. "Don't be scared.....I'm Sylvester and your are?" He asked. "I'm....." I said but that voice called my name and it made paused for a while.

"You are?...I'm waiting" Sylvester said. "I'm sorry....I'm Lilith.....you must be the person we were expecting?" I asked. "Yes" Sylvester said. I heard the voice again, I tried my best to stay calm but I couldn't. "I'm sorry but I have to go" I said. "Wait where do you leave? Maybe I could come see you" He said but I didn't reply. "If you wouldn't tell where you stay at least can we meet tomorrow so you could join me for picnic" Sylvester said.

"Alright" I said. "Tomorrow by three....don't disappoint" Sylvester said. "See you tomorrow" was all I said. I made my way to my room, I laid down on my bed. I stood up and I went the bathroom to take a shower. I keep hearing the voice, over and over again, Non stop. I stayed under the shower and now the voice is now a scream.

I remember the last time this happened I ended up jumping down a building so it's best I answer it before I get hurt. I got dressed, I closed my eyes and I tried to concentrate. "Where you?" I asked. "I don't know where I am" The voice said. "Can you direct me?" I asked. "Yes" The voice. "OK you direct me so I could come to you" I said.

I wore a black cloak and I followed the voice. The voice directed me to middle of nowhere. At this point it's dark and I have no idea where I am or who am supposed to meet. The most annoying part is that I didn't tell Diamond before leaving. The moon was out and at least I could see a little.

I heard a howl, I saw a woman riding a white horse come out of the shadow. She wore a red cloak, the horse came to a halt when it got to me. The woman jumped down from the horse, I watched as she tied the horse to a tree. I have a bad feeling about this but perhaps she's the one who kidnapped the person I intend for rescue.

She takes off her cloak, this woman wore a red dress. She had green eyes and her hair was as black as coal. "You must be wondering why you're here" The woman said. "Who are you? Where's the little girl you kidnapped?" I asked. "Kidnapped? You're really dumb aren't you?.....didn't your Mother tell you not to talk to strangers?" The woman.

"Leave my Mother out of this. Who are you?" I asked. "There's no need to be scared Lilith" The woman said. "Scared? Why would I be scared?.....How do you know my name?" I asked. "I've read tales of the great sorceress who would one day do something no one has ever done" The woman said. "Woman who the hell are you?" I asked.

"You really want to know who I am that badly? Very well. You must have heard of me, I am Ixia" She said. Immediately I stepped back, I've heard things about her and here I am meeting her right now. "You're the one who tried to kill me.....why?" I asked. "It's simple.... I am your destiny and you are my doom" Ixia said.

"Why am I here?" I asked. "Aren't you scared?" Ixia asked. "How can I? I left my World and I ended up here. Every since I've managed to adjust so there's nothing that can freak me out again" I said. "So your death wouldn't freak you out?" Ixia asked. "You've tried to kill me before and you didn't succeed. What makes you think that you'd succeed now?" I asked.

"Don't worry I would make sure I personally get rid of you" Ixia said. What do I do? I turned around to leave but Ixia appeared to me. "Where do you think you're going? You and have unfinished business" Ixia said. She began speaking in weird language and before I knew it I blacked out.

I was awoken by a hot surface. I opened my eyes and I noticed that I was tied with a rope and I was being dragged by a horse. I followed the rope and Ixia was with the rope.

"You're awake.....rise and shine sleepy head" Ixia said. I observed my surroundings to see if I could mark it just incase I want to escape but unfortunately we were in a desert.

The horse stopped, Ixia came down from the horse. She opened a water can. "Here have some water, we have a long journey ahead of us" Ixia said.

"I would rather die of thirst than to drink that" I said. "I'm being nice but trust when I wear get there I couldn't be this kind to you" Ixia said. I ignore her, she poured the entire water on the ground.

She got on her horse and the journey continued. I walked on the hot sand and under the scotching Sun for hours, I'm thirsty.....I mean how could I feel so wet but yet so dry?. After so many hours of walking we got to an ancient Castle. It had leaves and vines everywhere. "I think someone should decorate this place....it's filthy...EW!!!" I said.

"Shut up....you're not in any position to make any demand" Ixia said. She dragged me to a room and locked the door. I banged the door countless times but she wouldn't open it. I sat down on the ground, I could smell something rotten. I looked around and I saw someone's corpse, I saw maggot come out of it. I screamed in horror. I ran to the door.

"Open the door.....open the freaking door.....let me out....please" I said but Ixia didn't respond. I buried my face on my legs. "Why do you always talk to strangers?" A familiar voice asked. I raised my head and I saw Brandon before me. "Did you miss me?" Brandon asked. "How did you find me?" I asked. "I'm your guardian angel" He said.

"How do I escape?" I asked. "Why did you go with a stranger?" He asked. "I heard he voice" I replied. "Aren't you aware that you can't just answer any voice you hear? No matter how hard you want to save someone. Even if you want to answer the voice you could have at least informed Diamond about it" Brandon said. "I thought....." I said.

"You thought what? That the voice really needed your help?...Lilith this is a magical world, people can use their powers to trick others. As for you, you have someone who has made it her destiny to end you and she never succeeded but now you've given her the chance to literally end you" Brandon said.

"How do I leave here?" I asked. "Unfortunately you can't....She's going to kill you and there's nothing you or anyone else could do about it" Brandon said. "So this is how I finally die? In the hands of Ixia? My destiny ends here?" I asked. "I'm afraid so...." Brandon said. "No.....I refuse to go down this way" I said. "I wish I could do something for you but I can't" Brandon said.
