Chapter 17



****************

Her vision became extremely indistinct due to the fact she was about to pass out but there was a sharp glint in her watery brown eyes the moment she noticed something deep in the shadows of the door she just opened. She saw a figure, she couldn\'t tell if she was actually seeing one or if it was her imagination but the figure seemed to be heading towards her direction.

Seeing the unknown figure head her way, she couldn\'t help but stretch her hands out towards it, wanting it to reach for her shaky hands and seeing her gesture, the figure stopped moving.

"Help me." She whispered without giving her choice of word a second thought, she was clueless about who it was that lurked in the shadow, as much as she felt the deadly aura emanating from the being who just stood silently in the shadows, she knew only this stranger was capable of helping her.

The being who stood still inside the darkness of the door she had forcefully opened barely moved, in fact he had his arm folded across his chest while boringly watching the strange lady call for his help with her arms stretched out towards him. That only caused his red eyes to glow in the simple, yet cold manner.

Seeing he wasn\'t going to take any further steps near her, her eyelids grew heavier and finally dropped close as she sprawled to the ground, but before she lost consciousness, she felt herself fall into the strong protective arms of someone before passing out completely.

.....

The guards who had successfully shot their victim with an arrow suddenly noticed for the first time that the door which had been sealed for more than a decade was strangely opened, causing a horrifying gasp to escape from their lips at the mere sight of the figure who lingered in the darkness and not only that, he was carrying someone in his arms.

Stepping out of the shadows, the figure finally came into full view to the eyes of the guards as his crimson eyes burned with insatiable vengeance, dropping the body of the girl while letting her rest on the pillar before turning his attention back to the guards.

His knuckles clenched hard, erupting a thousand fright from the guards who were slowly starting to make a retreat.

"He\'s free! Everyone one, retreat! Now!" A guard immediately alerted the rest of his mates, causing them to turn around and make a run for it but that alone happened to be a big mistake cause within a second, the angry being was already at the doorstep, locking it while flexing his muscles which were starting to heal and leaving his skin spotless once again.

A satisfied sigh escaped from his lips the moment those wounds finally closed up, he had been waiting for this internal injury to recover for years and now was indeed the perfect time.

"Leaving so soon? It\'s been a while since I had visitors." His deep, yet frightening tone resounded along the quiet cella, like a devil who had finally made his way out of hell and into the world of mortals.

He smirked, exposing his sharp fangs that made them shiver at the sight, knowing just what a tear from those fangs could do to their skin. Regardless, they chose to point their weapons at him, feigning bravery which was only a dangerous step that amused the being further.

"You weren\'t meant to be freed!"

"Neither were you." He cocked his head to the side, giving them the go ahead.

"Attack!"

"Pathetic!" He hissed out and just like that, countless of arrows came rushing to his direction which he easily avoided with a speed that was difficult to see with the normal eyes and before the guards realized it themselves, a fellow guards head had been cut off as blood profusely gushed out from it like a bursted tap.

One by one they all died in the most brutal and most painful way as their necks were slit by the sharp fingers of an invisible being, hands were caught off and the others even had their skins torn by the dangerously sharp teeths of Roshan.

With the anger he had been savoring inside of him for many years, he was more than ready to vanquish it out on the peasants whose screams of pain only left him with a half satisfaction, but he wasn\'t done yet.

He threw their bodies into the sealing room and locked it tight after taking off the clothes of a certain guard, leaving them for the spirits to feed on whatever was left of them.

Turning around, his cold bloody eyes landed on the slim figure he had rested against the pillar and that cold look immediately turned into something that was unreadable as he made his way towards her body.

Her milky colored dress was stained with blood, running down to the edges and giving her dress a very odd mixture of red and milky color. Her face looked pale, but that didn\'t hide the beauty she possessed, staring at the long yet scanty dark lashes which rested on her cheeks, down to her dainty nose and those faintly pink colored lips.

Crouching beside her, he could still hear her heartbeat due to his keen sense of hearing which meant she isn\'t dead yet. Obviously he never had the intention of sparing her life from the beginning but the moment she called out to him, his instinct had prompted him to do so without any warning.

His gaze finally shifted to the mark on her forehead, her headband had moved a bit, revealing the crystal meteor birthmark which could be visibly seen on her forehead and something struck him at that moment.

"What is this mark?" His expression turned sour at the thought of it, as much as he wanted to kill her, something told him not to let the girl out of his sight so instead, he carried her in his arms and led her out of the temple.

He sensed something fishy and she\'s going to explain everything to him.

The moment Anna awoke from her subconsciousness, her eyes flickered open only to be met by the intense sun rays of the clear blue sky, making a slow smile form on her lips but that smile suddenly freezed on her face the moment she realized she wasn\'t actually meant to be seeing sunlight, wasn\'t she in the dark woods?

"Why is there sunlight?" She muttered in a half sleepy tone, finding it very queer to see normal trees surround her once again, not until a deep voice sounded right behind her.

"Cause it\'s midday, you overslept!"

Hearing a deep cold voice that wasn\'t familiar to her ears at all, made Annalise sprang up quickly as she sat upright, instantly drawing her sword which hung in her waist and pointing it at the person who dared to speak unannounced and sneak up on a woman like that.

But to her surprise, the stranger was actually sitting on a rock, his eyes closed and his body in full concentration as he seemed to be... meditating?

"Huh?" She cocked her head slightly to the side while observing the stranger before her, her head was hurting badly that it affected her memories, she just remembered that she wasn\'t meant to be seeing light but now...

The stranger suddenly moved, grabbing her attention as she pointed her blade at his direction once again, but was instantly left speechless the moment his eyes fluttered open, revealing a pair of Hazel-Green eyes that were so beautiful, she lost all the threats her mind had managed to pick up.

"Well..." he started in that remarkable tone despite seeing a blade being pointed at his face.

"Aren\'t you in pain?"
