Hurried footsteps echoed through the eerily silent alley, each sound magnified in the stillness
Clutching steadily on a tree branch sturdy enough to support her weight, heaven's ears perked up whenever she heard the slightest rustle
Her glowing golden eyes dilated, as she narrowed her eyes into slits. Glowing in the dark like a cat's.
Heaven knew that she had to be careful in her hiding place as to not be caught. She scanned the ground below, trying hard not to make any sound.
Just as she feared.
Those hoodlums drew near
Heaven sighed exasperatingly, as she carefully balanced her weight on the branch and then wrapped her hair into a bun
How bothersome.
Just when she had packed up with the intention of heading home for a good rest; These hooligans had to show up.
while she was capable of taking down one or two individuals, Taking down a group was beyond her imagination
Trying hard to settle herself comfortably, her back stiffened when she mistakenly knocked down a small tree branch
"Wait…up there! She is up there!" One of the hoodlums who heard the sound immediately raised an alarm
Heaven knew that she couldn't hide up there forever, so she immediately jumped down; accidentally landing on one of them.
Pheeeew. At least she didn't land on the hard ground
"You bitch!! Damn, catch that cunt!" The hooligan yelled, pointing at the girl who had abruptly absconded after painfully landing on him
There she was, running for her life.
The young girl ran as fast as she could, it would not be a complete exaggeration that she had never run this fast in her entire life.
Of course, her vision was not even a bit clear, but she had no choice. She would preferably die in a dark alley that give those hooligans the satisfaction of torturing her until death.
That was how determined she was!
Yes. She suddenly remembered something.
Fumbling her pocket, she reached out for her mobile phone. At least she could make do with its torchlight, why on earth did she not think about this before!
But alas, her battery was too low to put on the torch light.
Darn it!
Currently, heaven could only inwardly curse at Sam for extending her shift.
Clenching her fists, heaven silently muttered something under her breath.
Behind her, All this while there were even more hurried sounds of running accompanied by unbearable curses
"Quick catch that bitch! How dare she hit our big brother!"
"Damn…run fast, run fast!"
"Fuck! My light is out"
Without halting, heaven instantly increased her pace, making sure to leave a massive gap between them.
Heaven grimaced, her lungs were on fire; her limbs were slowly beginning to ache badly.
On second thought, heaven considered negotiating with them, but then she would rather not take such a risk.
She had seriously beaten the head of their gang; for that reason, they sought for their life
well, too bad she had other plans….
Countless times she stumbled and fell, bruising her knee.
Almost there.
Heaven did not look back.
Not even a swift glance behind her
The ground was wet and muddy, from the misty rain which showered down the sky.
Her previously tied bun had long cascaded down her back; clinging unto her body
Then it happened again
She stumbled…but this time she found herself falling deep into an unending Abyss of darkness; Darkness which enveloped her whole being
Heaven felt dizzy, her head was spinning like a rollercoaster.
What was going to happen to her?
Was her life meant to end in this way?
For the first time in a long while, fear gripped her heart, its tentacles springing out like limbs from every side.
Just then she, she felt her consciousness slowly slipping out of her, soon she black out.
Heaven was welcomed by darkness when she slowly opened her eyes. She strained to see, but not only was she unable to tell her current situation, she wasn't even able to see her feet
Heaven reached down to feel the surface beneath her.
It was nether wet nor muddy.
Where was she?
A rising panic consumed her who being when she realized that she was lost.
But at last, when she thought that her hopes were drowning, her vision immediately lightened a bit.
Heaven was stunned.
What she saw before her was simply magnificent!
Before her was a gigantic mansion which seemed to have been deserted for ages.
It emitted a horrendous aura. Although she had seen countless mansions in magazines and on television, non was as imposing as the one before her. Heaven became curious as to why she felt such familiarity with this place
"What on earth am I doing in this place? " Heaven was convinced that her medications were probably the reason for her hallucinations.
All she recalled was that she was being chased by some thugs, but then she accidentally stumbled into a dark Abyss and then blacked out
Heaven sighed. She was very sure that her mind was playing tricks on her again. Reluctantly, heaven got up and began walking towards the mansion in other to get a closer view.
Taking another step, heaven's brows twitched as the sharp metallic smell of fresh blood ran pass her nostrils.
Honestly, she wanted to find her way back, but still, her curiosity got the best of her.
Her mind was willing, but her body was succumbing!
"I promise you'd rot in hell! You heartless beast!"
Heaven's heart almost fell out from her mouth When she heard that agonized scream
'What?'
She immediately hid at the back of a locust shaped statue In other not to get caught in the act of trespassing,
Oh good lord… Now she was in real trouble!
Although it was dark, the moon illuminated the butchery scene where two masked men in black Brutality tortured a man who was drenched in blood.
Shifting her gaze from the scene, heaven's gaze fell on a man whose back view she could only see.
Just from his majestic and elegant pose, Without even looking at the face of the man, she could tell that he was a dream boat. The air surrounding him was simply sophisticating.
Only his back view was an assurance of his extraordinary features.
Heaven almost urinated on her pants at the thought of being in a place like this, her legs began to turn jelly, but thankfully she held on
"Really?" The mysterious man's head was tilted, suddenly he let out cold laughter which sent chills down her spine
"See you in hell then"
"Slaughter."
Suddenly, a huge white furry ball jumped upon the man, who was soaked In blood. Soon his hands were ripped apart from his body, followed by every other part.
Heaven felt her legs tremble and her teeth chattering in fear When she saw the white furry animal
How could she not know what that was?
It was a wild tiger.
Which normal person on earth would keep a wild animal at home?
Heaven couldn't remember when last she had prayed, but currently she prayed that this was a nightmare and not reality.
At that moment, she felt a piercing gaze but surprisingly, no one was looking in her direction.
"Come out, I know you are there. NOW" the man commanded,
Heaven's heart drummed, was he talking to her or what?
Inhaling and exhaling Heaven shut her eyes and counted to ten, She needed to first calm down before anything
"who do we have here?"
That voice. In front of her.
How did he get here so fast?
The man whose back was facing her was currently standing in front of her.
And he was so…
Heaven felt her body growing lighter....almost like a feather, it seemed like time had stopped
Her vision became blur.
Soon she lost consciousness.
