Kendric's face leaned forward, close to hers. "Why is your heart beating so fast? Are you hiding something from me?"
Leigh looked like a cornered and scared rabbit. That made Kendric grin even wider. He likes to prey, especially if the prey is a woman as beautiful as herself. Once he catches her, he will never let her go, even if she rebels, he will make sure he never lets her go.
"Huh…. No. W-what am I hiding?" in a stuttering voice, she replied asking back. Her rebellious nature emerged, every time she was cornered. However, her face still looked alert and anticipatory.
"Are you sure?" Kendric confirmed while grinning. His hands trapped Leigh from both sides. Got count and didn't know what to do. Leigh swallowed deeply.
Now she not only felt wary, but scared, scared to death. her face flushed red from holding back fear. Makes her look like a baby who has been tickled. Funny.
"Where-where do you want to take me?" Leigh blurted out, wanting to divert the attention of the ferocious predator in front of her.
"We need to calm your heart first here," Kendric spoke in a deep and heavy tone. emphasize on the word heart.
"M-my heart, s-fine" now her body was shaking, her voice stammered, holding back the fear that rising up to her face that appeared, sweet and adorable.
"No, is not," his eyes stared sharply, fixed on Leigh's eyes, which gave off an increasingly uncertain aura of fear and alertness.
What she felt right now, made her choke, she didn't know what happened. She couldn't afford to let down her guard now. She wanted to run out of the trap she was currently trapped in. Run fast and don't want to look back. For herself. Kendric's eyes looked like she wanted to immerse herself in the embers that were burning in the campfire. Where the flames spread high into the night sky. The sparks of fire that touched her skin made it difficult for her to breathe.
In the end she gave herself up "H-how y-you going to ease my heart?" she asked with her head lowered unable to look any longer at Kendric's hungry eyes.
Silent fill the long corridor, a moment later "Come" he said, standing up straight, his left-hand holding Leigh's right hand again, and guiding her again to walk down the corridor which now felt long to leigh.
Spontaneously surprised. Leigh immediately raised her head in disbelief. He said they needed to calm her heartbeat. She was already anticipating what action he would do to her. But why was he leading her again, who knows where he wanted to take her all along. She bit her lower lip anxiously.
Once again, she felt like she was walking amidst burning fire that were ready to devour her. But this time the fire not only did not devour her but made her seem to be walking towards a bottomless abyss and falling free from the edge of the abyss, deliberately slowing down his heartbeat, dying. The unique and ancient designs along the corridors are no longer the center of her attention. But this kind of heartbeat race like want jumped out of her ribcage. Until it made him walk in dazed. Anticipate what will happen.
She continued to follow Kendric's steps with great anxiety. The corridor felt so long that she couldn't help but feel anxious. With a trembling voice she asked "Wh-where are you taking me?"
"You'll see" was Kendric's only answer, short, concise, and confident. Convinced that wherever they were headed, it would make Leigh's heartbeat subside. But that answer made her even more anxious and restless. From the tone of his voice, it gave the impression that they were going to a place that was even more terrifying than the incident she experienced in her own house.
They continued walking until they stopped in front of a door. Tall, wide, and looking heavy, the gate was the same as two days ago. It made Leigh wonder whether all the doors here had the exact same design, this made her anxious, worried if she lingered here, walking alone to explore this big house like a palace. She Worried she would get lost, not knowing which door was the room she was staying in.
"Are you ready," shouted Kendric with sparkling eyes, turning to her, whose face now looked like prairie meat, ripe and ready to be eaten. And Kendric can't wait to devour her whole.
Leigh could only look at him and swallow hard, her face looked scared to death. Not sure what was waiting for her behind the door in front of her.
Kendric removed his grip from Leigh's hand. Step forward and push both doors open.
Leigh's heartbeat almost exploded as the door opened. Her face grimaced in fear. Leigh felt like time was slowing down. The door opened slowly, very slowly for her like. She was impatient, she wanted to step forward and push the door roughly until it burst open and slammed into the wall and cracked the wall, leaving a mark of her roughness. But her feet were rooted in place, unable to move. Her own hand was also numb. She stood there as if standing in the middle of a criminal trial and waiting to be arraigned.
All her wild imagination, the opposite happens. What was in front of her when the door opened wide. is a closed garden, fresh, beautiful, full of color. Just like the previous garden, here it is also filled with various kinds of flowers and plants. Not enough there. There are many types of butterflies, their wings are colorful and quite large, flying around the garden. There are various types of birds such as parrots, doves, canaries, and others flying here and there, there are also luminous twinkles flying in the air. Maybe if it was night, the light coming out of the animal would be clearly visible, firefly.
On the land itself, there are many rabbits jumping from one place to another. Turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, there are chihuahua dogs. Hanging from the tree itself was a Koala, and there were other types of animals that Leigh forgot the names of. She felt like visiting a zoo, the difference was, there were differences in the types of animals and put them in their location in each type of animal each place. But here, everyone is in the same habitat, living side by side, not attacking each other, living in harmony.
Once again, she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her eyes were wide open, amazed, mesmerized. She stood rooted there, stunned. A moment later, she absentmindedly walked in, looking happily as far as her eyes could reach. The heart beats race fast but for a different reason. Her face, which had looked worried, was replaced with the biggest smile Kendric had ever seen since meeting her. She looked happy beyond words.
Standing in the middle of the garden, she stopped. Birds and butterflies flew around her. Her head was thrown back with a laugh on her lips, soft and sexy. She looked around in all directions. spinning slowly, dancing happily. Kendric's intimidating existence was forgotten.
In the midst of her happy feelings, a rabbit with white fur approached her feet. Hugging one of her legs. Seeing this, Leigh bent down, lifting the rabbit in her arms "Hi there, I'm Leigh, what's your name?" she asked, stroking its soft fur, so soft that she thought that its fur was made from the finest and most expensive silk in the world, which only rich people could afford and wear.
Leigh's question was answered with the rabbit stroking its tiny nose, very cute. He couldn't help, but stroke her tiny, smooth and adorable head.
"You must be made of the best material that has ever existed on this earth," exclaimed Leigh, like an animal whose were made by humans who had now experienced rapid progress saint dan technologies, but she doubted that was the case. Why not, it's just a compliment to it. She smiled happily, continuing to talk to the rabbit in her arms.
Meanwhile, her smile continued to adorn her face, as if it would not disappear even if the sun was replaced by the moon. Day turn to month, month turn to year dan year turn to decade and so on. As far as Kendric saw it, this was the best scene he had witnessed since meeting her. He stood at the door, his eyes never leaving Leigh, from the moment she stepped into the garden. Every movement she made, he loved it. Like he was reminiscing about the past, which was happening again now. he will cherish every moment with her, making sure she always smiles happily from now on. Bitter past, let it pass, now there is only happiness.
Kendric's pleasant moment was interrupted by the sound of a servant came and standing not far from him, call. "My Lord"
"Hmm" he answered without taking his eyes off the interesting scene in front of him.
"Apologise My Lord, Ezra came with Ociel and wanted to meet you." The name he heard caught his attention. He turned to the servant. He opened his mouth to speak. But the next second happened so fast. from the corner of his eye, he saw Leigh in grave danger.
