14 Barbaric Outlander (2/2)

”no it's not” i said by looking down.

he raised my face to meet his gaze and leaned so closer to my face ” did you forgot about your punishment” i mumbled against his lips.

his warm breath raising goosebumps on my skin and shivers crawling down my body his touch always has an amazing effect on my body.

”forget about it Zer” he muffled and brushed his lips against mine and kissed gently,i let the mask fall off from my hand on the floor and wrapped my hands around his neck, before i could respond to him i heard footsteps approaching towards balcony and moved away from him keeping fair distance between usband picked up our masks from floor.

Remus was so irksome now, i just gave him a naughty smile by trapping my lower lip in between my teeth.

”what you two are doing out here??” he asked.

i thought it might be Bloom but i was surprised to see him,” i-i was feeling suffocated in there with mask so i just came out here for some air and Remus was helping me” i quoth and turned my back on him holding the balustrade.

Raiden stood beside me and asked ”are you okay now Princess”

”yes i'm fine now” i replied whilst playing with masks in my hand.

he stood beside me keeping good distance between us, i could imagine Remus's angry face but i didn't dared to turn around to see his face.

”you are so beautiful” he said, it sounded more like a whisper and i immediately looked at him.

”thank you” i mumbled.

He moved bit closer before he could get too close to me Remus hastily entered between him and i saying ”are you enjoying the Ball Raiden”

”yes i am I've never attended any Masquerade Ball before” Raiden replied and removed his mask he was good looking masculine man, he had blonde hair which was covering his forehead, Hazel eyes and when our gazes met he just flashed me a sweet smile and i returned it back.

”what are you all doing out here leaving the Ball” he asked skeptically.

we turned around to face him his gaze was struck on me.

”just enjoying the view” Raiden replied to Bloom by moving his gaze from me.

”brother father wants to see you” Bloom said to Remus.

”okay, i'll go see him ” Remus quoth and gave me his famous heart melting smile.

”come with me Raiden i've something to show you ” Remus said with smile and Raiden's smile was vanished on his words. i know that Remus took Raiden with him purposely, because he was being so close to me even in front of him, he didn't want him to be alone with me.

”okay” he sighed.

they both walked out of balcony passing over Bloom.

Bloom he was holding a glass of wine in his hand and took a sip of it staring at me, i just turned my back on him. I miss the old Bloom he was nothing like him.

In a jiffy i found an arm wrapping around my waist turning me over placing a quick kiss on my lips, i was bewildered by his haste kiss i didn't expect him to do that ”i will continue later” Remus whispered.

”forgot my mask” he said and took it from me placing a quick kiss on my cheek and scrammed.

the mask was only a excuse for a kiss, he didn't needed it.

i was left stupefied with his kiss i was pretty sure that my cheeks were crimson now, i felt so hollow without him. he wasn't bothered about Bloom he just kissed me in front of him.

Now Bloom must be so infuriated Remus don't know that Blooom has trouble seeing him doing all this things with me. when i saw his face he was so raged, he threw the glass which was shattered on the floor into pieces ” how dare he kiss you in front of me ” he miffed.

”he don't need any dare to kiss his Princess in front of you” i scoffed and turned my back on him.

”how many times should I have to tell you that you're mine Zeri, don't you comprehend” he exclaimed and turned me around holding my arms. he just removed his mask and threw it away, showing me his fiery face.

”and how many times should I have to tell you that i'm not yours” i exclaimed in anger by moving away from him.

”it doesn't matter what you say Zeri”

”then same here, it doesn't matter for me too” with that i left him there and i walked into the corridor when i was about to walk out of the corridor, a muscular hand wrapped around my waist and jerked me into the dark chamber covering my mouth with his hand. He tied a blind fold around my eyes another fold on my mouth and tied my hands on my back.

With one stroke of his sword he ripped upper front of my gown but he didn't rip my corset for which i was thankful to him. He shoved me on the floor, i squab on the floor with thud and hit my nose pretty badly a sharp pain crawled into my nose making it bleed, with that he was gone because after he shoved me i heard the sound of the door closing, i tried to loosen my self but he bounded my hands so tightly on my back. it was more than an hour and i was still in that room tied and lying on the ground probably the Ball would be over by now, father and Remus must be worried about me, i heard some voices outside the chamber, they must be knights looking for me i heard them say ”Princess Zeri is no where to be found, King Edward is so worried about her” and their voices were getting muted as they walked away from the chamber after half an hour i heard Remus's voice he sounded so apprehensive” did you find her” he asked ” no yet prince Remus ” the knight replied.

”send a group of knights out of the castle in search for her” he almost hollered.

”where are you Zeri?” he said to himself.

tears rolling down my eyes he was so close to me, but he can't hear me and i can't invoke him.

Remus's POV

where are you Zeri' i said out bit loudly, how she can disappear so suddenly where she would be, i can't survive if something happens to her i love her so much words can't explain my love for her, i walked out into balcony where i've left her it was almost two hours since she got missing still there was no sign of her, i was going insane my mind was crossing numerous thoughts.

when i was walking out of the corridor i saw something on the floor behind the drapes i bend over and had closer look at it, it was Zeri's mask i picked it up and i looked at the door she might be in there i opened the door hastily and found her lying on the floor, her hair was falling over her face covering it, it was dark in there light entering from corridor lit the chamber dimly, i rushed towards her and took her into my lap her gown was ripped at front, there were bloodstains on the fold which was tied on her mouth her hands were tied on the back and there was another fold on her eyes, in a swift i untied her folds on eyes and mouth, her wrists were bruised badly because the rope was bounded tightly, i clutched her to my chest and heard her fragile sobs i pulled back and looked at her, the light from the corridor was enough to see her face she looked so fragile, her nose had become red and blood was smeared on all over her cheeks, i cupped her face ” Zeri who did this to you” i asked but she was not in a situation to answer any question, i heard knights coming in this direction as she heard them coming over she covered her corset with her hands and leaned closer into my chest i pulled her more closer to me by wrapping my hands around her back.

as the knights came in ”bring a cloth” i ordered one them rushed out and brought a cloth handing over to me i wrapped it around her body and ordered” inform King Edward about Zeri” and they were gone.

i pulled back to look at her but she fell motionlessly on my arm ”Zeri- Zeri wake up” i patted her cheek, i was freaking panicked when she didn't moved i held her so close to me repeating her name,”Zeri please wake up” but she didn't moved a bit, i felt tears rolling down my cheeks..

”Zeri”..
