Ellyan continued to follow the woman's steps, down a long hallway.
In her heart, Ellyan kept wondering what building she was actually in. This building is not at all suitable to be called a company in terms of its silence.
As if this skyscraper was just a building with empty rooms that were deliberately not occupied.
"Enter."
The woman commanded as they stopped right in front of a large, fiery red door. A door with many patterns etched into the edges. And the most striking is the carving of a snake wrapped around a mouse at the top.
Ellyan's hair immediately stood up. Her brain began to give a warning to Ellyan immediately turned around and ran as fast as possible, escaping from here.
However, in contrast to the sound of her head, Ellyan's feet continued to step forward, as if a strange force was pushing her from behind.
Krieet ..
Ellyan pushed the door, making a loud screeching sound. As soon as the door opened, a bright light suddenly appeared, making Ellyan immediately close her eyes because she felt dazzled.
"Shit !,"
"You have to run Ells."
The voice in Ellyan's head grew stronger. But to no avail, Ellyan is still standing in her place. Until finally the light slowly disappeared.
And again, Ellyan's body seemed to be pushed forward, making Ellyan immediately enter the room. As soon as Ellyan's body entered, the door suddenly closed with a loud sound.
Unlike the bright light that appeared when Ellyan opened the door, now all that was around Ellyan just darkness. It was so dark, Ellyan could not see anything around her.
Suddenly, fear swelled up in Ellyan's heart. All bad thoughts started running through her head. What if it turns out that Ellyan is in a criminal den?. Or, what if it turns out that the person she is going to meet is the head of a human trafficking syndicate?.
No, no.
Ellyan shook her head vigorously, slapping her cheeks to regain her sanity. It's impossible, Seira will never possibly harm her.
"Don't panic, Els, don't panic."
She muttered, inhaling and exhaling many times to calm her feelings. Slowly, Ellyan started walking, trying to grope around with her feet.
"Hello?."
"Madame?"
Ellyan called. More precisely, trying to summon the woman who had led her here. However, all Ellyan found was the echo of her own voice.
"Madame ?. Where are you?."
Ellyan called again, while continuing to feel around her. She hopes, she can find an escape route, even though it seems impossible.
Ellyan's body suddenly froze when her hand touched a cold and wet object. Even her nose was starting to smell the fishy smell, like human blood that Ellyan believed was coming from the object in front of her.
Deg ..
Ellyan's body suddenly jumped backwards as the object in front of her throbbed. Panicked, Ellyan started to move backwards. Even though Ellyan couldn't see what object was in front of her, for some reason Ellyan's feeling said that what she had just held was a human heart.
This time, Ellyan couldn't calm down at all. desperately she began to walk backwards, trying to find a way out
However, Ellyan's steps stopped when her body hit something. Not something, but rather someone, because Ellyan could feel her shoulder being grabbed.
"Hem,"
"Looks like the offerings this time are pretty good,"
"A virgin with a sweet scent."
Ellyan's heart was pounding even more with fear when she heard the voice of a man who was very close to her ear.
With all her strength, Ellyan tried to release the grip on her shoulder. But, the grip got even stronger, making Ellyan's shoulder ache.
"Where are you going to run, dear ?,"
That man made a sound again, then laughed, perhaps laughing at Ellyan's futile attempt to escape,
"Once you enter here, you will not be able to get out."
That man gave a low laugh, before continuing his sentence,
"Because, walking voluntarily to this place, means that you voluntarily gave yourself up as a sacrifice."
Ellyan shuddered in horror as he licked her neck, and the next second, Ellyan felt a very intense pain in her neck. Ellyan widened her eyes, as she felt a stinging pain run through her body. It felt like Ellyan's entire organs were being crushed at the same time.
The sound of sipping echoed, entering Ellyan's ear drum, it couldn't be undone, except for a simple thought, that she will die today.
Just as Ellyan thought she was going to really die, her body suddenly pulled forward, causing something that had just stabbed Ellyan's neck to come off.
The room that was originally pitch black suddenly became bright, make Ellyan suddenly squinted her eyes because of the glare.
After the light dimmed, slowly, Ellyan open her eyes. Ellyan's eyes immediately caught the face of a man who is now very close to Ellyan's face.
Their faces were only a few centimeters apart. Instantly Ellyan held her breath, mesmerized by the face of the man supporting her back.
Dark black eyes, just like a starless night. A firm face with a high nose line and a perfectly curved jaw. It seemed Ellyan wanted to pray the god who had created such a beautiful creature.
And that red lip, make Ellyan's mind suddenly wandered, what if those lips touched hers. How did it feel when those lips began to roam on Ellyan's skin... Plakk ..
Annoyed, Ellyan slapped her cheek very hard. There is no time for her to admire someone's face when her life is on the line like this. The handsome man even furrowed his brows because Ellyan suddenly slapped herself.
"Arrgghh .."
Ellyan winced when the intense pain back again. Ellyan's breath immediately rushed, make her spontaneous gripped the man's clothes tightly. Before finally Ellyan's gaze slowly faded, until it was completely dark ..
***
"If you want to survive, live as an ordinary human. Never reveal your identity to anyone. "
Ellyan looked at the figure of a woman in a white hood squatting in front of her. The woman's face was not very visible. Only, Ellyan knew, under the hood, the woman was smiling.
Ellyan nodded her head, thrusting her pinky finger at the woman,
"Yes I promise."
Ellyan said, wagging her finger.
"Hey,"
"Hey."
A deep voice slowly sounded, making the hooded woman in front of Ellyan slowly fade away. And gradually turned into the figure of a man with an angry expression on his face.
Ellyan quickly sat down. Her eyes, which had not yet fully opened, widened open, staring at the strange man with a terrified gaze.
"You ... Who are you?"
Ellyan asked hoarsely, gripping the blanket that covered her tightly.
The man grieved, hands on his hips and looked at Ellyan with a look of disbelief, "Wow, looks like that vampire poison even paralyzes the cells in your brain. Until you can't even think. "
He grunted.
The man's words immediately made the pain in Ellyan's neck come back. But not that bad. Just a little throbbing with a burning sensation.
"Hey, are you suddenly mute too?"
The man asked again, in a curt tone.
Ellyan didn't answer the man's question, trying to remember what happened before.
Ah, Ellyan remembered, now Ellyan should have met Amore, who was going to connect her with Arden. But, who would have thought that Ellyan actually met a strange woman. Being attacked and rescued by a handsome man.
As soon as she remembered the handsome man who had helped her, Ellyan immediately raised her head, staring at the man who glared at Ellyan with an angry gaze.
"What ?."
"Your little brain has managed to remember something?"
He asked again.
Ah, not this man. The handsome man who had helped Ellyan was not him.
"Where is this ?." Ellyan asked, casting her gaze across the room.
Currently Ellyan is in a place that looks like a bedroom. So big, even Ellyan was sure, if she brought her family here, they would surely be able to sleep comfortably.
"You may think as you like where we are now. Let's just say we are in a transition place before you really die, "
The man said again with a shrug.
"After all, once everything is clear, you will really ... Auu."
The man's cynical words suddenly turned into a grimace. The man was holding his head, staring ferociously at a man who had been standing behind him for some time. Even Ellyan didn't notice that man presence.
"Are you awake?"
Asked that man.
Instantly Ellyan's breath caught again when she saw the man who was now staring at her with a flat gaze. That man..
The handsome man who saved her earlier ..
