23 Hagride (1/2)

Zeri's POV

I was in chaos how was i responsible for her sister's demise, all of my life i was in my castle. Villintine was first place where I've been to, it was the first time i went out of Aaira, my father never allowed me out of the castle, our gardens were only place i was allowed to go and that too surrounded by maids and knights, then how in the world i was responsible for her sister's demise.

My hands were bruised by the chains which were causing me burning pain, i was missing my father I've never been away from him my whole life, he never let me out of his sight he always made time for me.

i silently sobbed by resting my head on the wall, Remus's words still ringing in my ears ' betrayer ', i feel so broken now i just want to see my father desperately, the door creaked open snapping me out of my thoughts, i wiped my tears hastily.

Corin entered the chamber with the same man following her, ”are you enjoying your sojourn Princess Zeri” she asked smiling slyly.

”who are you?”

”why are you doing this to me, i want to go back to my father please let me go please” i pleaded tears rolling down my cheeks.

”when time comes you will know everything” she scorned and nodded her head towards the man, he walked to where the chains were attached there was a handle he was rotating it and my chains were becoming smaller making me stand, he rotated it until my hands were wide open and i was standing, he brought a whip and handed it to Corin ”let's make your sojourn more joyous Princess” she said.

She started whipping me with the whip, as it struck my body it was peeling off my skin it was inexpressible pain ”please stop please it hurts so much” i wept in pain.

She stopped whipping and said ”it's just the beginning of your torment, i'm going to make it whole a lot worse for you”.

She started whipping again making me yelp in pain ”your yells are melodious to my ears” she said with a triumph smile, the pain was crawling all over my body i was unable to stand but she still kept whipping until my wounds were bleeding, ”Corin stop you will kill her” said a man who came with her, ”okay” she raged and threw whip on the floor leaving the chamber, he loosened the handle and the chains were released making me squab on the floor, i hollered in pain when my body hit the floor, he scrammed out of chamber locking the door behind him, i don't even had a strength to open my eyes, my face was soaked in tears my body was on fire it felt like i'm burning, father please save me, what did i do to have this tribulations, my sobs never stopped until i gave into darkness.

Remus's POV

I don't know what was going on in head of King Edward it's been three days since Zeri was abducted and he wasn't doing anything, not even letting me out of the castle, it mad me ornery.

Before entering into his chamber i knocked on the door, he was sitting on the bed depressed he didn't even looked at me ”i want to talk with you King Edward” i said by closing the door behind me.

”what is it Remus” he asked by raising his head.

”what did you exactly saw on Zeri on the night she was attacked at Xenia” i asked looking at him.

”it was an emblem of Vampire kingdom Remus” he walked towards the bookshelf and took out an emblem from a book.

”here it is” he quoth and gave it to me, it was in bright shiny silver color.

I returned it to him and went back to my chamber.
