Chereads / The Dark Lord’s Domain / Chapter 9 - Wish for Death

Chapter 9 - Wish for Death

As Kelsey's vision cleared, her eyes were met by the most powerful enchanting face she had ever laid eyes on as black charcoal eyes stared into her soul deeply almost so captivating that Kelsey forgot how to breathe.

Black shiny hair glistened in the darkness with a hint of blue with matching eyes that somehow were becoming darker by the second attached to the most defined face designed by a god. His cheekbones were defined and visible even with the surrounding darkness and a small dimple was at the edge of his masculine chin which was out more than some men Kelsey had seen at work.

His skin was a golden crisp dark as Kelsey felt the strength of his body by the hand he had wrapped around her neck.

She had to blink several times to make sure her eyes weren't deceiving her, yet she couldn't deny the beauty standing so elegantly. But his frame was terrifying with his black eyes showing her he felt no emotion or gentleness toward her almost like she was some filthy animal. A cold tension was growing strong around them as he seemed like a stone.

And although the man before her was indeed handsome, he was equally as majestic sending danger vibes all throughout her tiny body. His eyes were wide with rage as he jaw was clenched. Underneath his calm looking stature, Kelsey could almost feel his hot breath dripping with hatred at their close proximity. Almost like he wasn't pleased with her personally.

She quickly lifted her hands in attempt to remove his large hand that covered her neck, but the girl was far to weak compared to the tall bulk of a man and his hand only tightened around her making her eyes widen.

"How should I punish you?" His deep voice thundered although he spoke quietly next to her ear making Kelsey's shiver with some kind of unknown feeling. His question seemed perplexed but Kelsey didn't have time to ponder it.

It should be very unlikely that she could be so attractive to such a dangerous being, but even his voice sounded like music to her hears making the whole event very confusing. She looked into his eyes hoping he would feel pity for her small figure since she was weak and tiny, but he stared back at her with cold eyes almost like she wasn't a human in his distant black eyes.

He simply smelled of some kind of expensive cologne making her sniff the air in order to taste it like an addict even though she should have been screaming for help. He was delicious to anyone who was near making her feel some strange twist in her stomach because of what she wasn't able to do.

Kelsey remained silent with her face holding terror making the man's eyes shift slightly as he tilted his head. He was surprised to see such a small woman take on one of his beasts, yet he couldn't allow himself to be too surprised since he didn't have time to care.

Taking a moment, the large man scanned the woman from head to toe looking at her appearance noticing her flawless skin which was something most women were denied unless they had been born noble.

He then lifted his other hand while the other held her throat in a forceful way. He traced her face while scrunching his eyes trying to recognize her before picking off her black set of glasses that laid on her face. She was almost like a phantom of someone he could almost remember, but he couldn't quite place her.

After inspecting the specs he took off her nose, the man quickly disregarded them throwing them behind him as his eyes narrowed once again at Kelsey.

"Do you wish for death? Or are you deaf little girl?" He slowly asked standing closer to her face as he lifted her up higher by the neck. It was becoming hard to breath by the second which seemed to amuse the man as Kelsey squirmed.

"If a man asks you a question, it is your obligation to answer!" He said becoming impatient with the silence not liking how quiet this stupid girl was. But his calm demeanor could have fooled anyone.

"Please…" Kelsey began to beg only to close her eyes unable to make any words.

"Stupid human…" he murmured and his face was directly before hers furrowing his thick black eyebrows. And while he stared at her, Kelsey thought she could faint due to how intoxicating he was, but also how he was choking her a bit too roughly.

He wasn't a man who spoke very often and was use to others being to frightened to answer his questions. But something deep inside him was yearning by to hear her voice more. Even if it was filled with screams which he was accustomed to since so many didn't like to follow his rules and commands.

Quickly he shook his head to ignore the stupid thought of her beauty tightening his grip along the girls neck remembering she was an intruder of his woods seemingly liking how her eyes started to produce tears due to the painful grasp he had. He wasn't one who cared for beautiful humans since they could only satisfy him for one night.

He chuckled darkly which seemed to only add more blackness to the woods. His eyes somehow darkened soon after as he thought of different ways to torture her to make her talk. Even the thoughts of killing her came into his mind swiftly since she had disobeyed his one law, but he remained still waiting for any response which was not like him.

Logic finally won as Kelsey realized this man might actually kill her. She knew this wasn't a romantic setting with the man holding her in the position she was in. And he was beginning to hurt her which meant she needed to escape fast if she wanted to live to see the sun rise again.

She lifted her hands trying to remove his only to see him smirk at her fable attempt.

"Do you think you are stronger than me?" He teased with his face so close to hers, it was hard to concentrate. "Because believe me, it's best to not fight something you'll never win. The more you fight, the more fun it is for me little girl."

"Let me go!" Kelsey managed to say as she wiggled trying to use her strength even though she was becoming more weak by the second.

"Useless." He whispered watching her with amusement dancing in his soulless eyes watching the little thing fight. Finally he learned forward with his mouth close to her eye making her once again feel something strange. "You are all useless. It's just best to get rid of you all together instead of me having to just pick you one at a time…Coming to the forbidden part of my domain has signed your death-"

She then quickly reached her hands toward his face pushing her thumbs into both his eyes causing him to cry out in pain releasing her by throwing her away from his sight as he hunched over rubbing his face.

She hit the ground for a mere second before jumping up to her feet taking a dash in some direction knowing he would be hot on her trail.

The man with black hair opened his eyes while his face contorted with mere rage at the cheap move preformed by the little woman only to see her dashing away. But he stayed still watching her intently as darkness began to spread all around him. The man stood up slowly tilting his head watching the stupid human run deeper into the Black Forest making his lips tug upward.

The atmosphere among them changed into something deadly and almost nerve racking in that moment but Kelsey kept moving with only survival on her mind.

Kelsey began to pray once again as her feet seemed to be moving faster than earlier. Although a terrifying monster first chased her through these bizarre woods, the man himself held a deeper more frightening promise that she did not want him to fulfill.

Her breath began to falter as she felt the trees come closer together making it harder to run through the bushes and branches.
