He immediately turned to her, walked towards her and touched her face.
"Rise and walk to the end of the row" He said to her.
Manandra stood up and walked to the end of the role. You don't need to tell her twice.
"And back to me" He said to her again.
She did as he said and came back.
"Akstravinut". Manandra heard some group of people say. What the hell does that even mean. And what in the the world is that. Well... Akstravinut, was a way of greeting, roughly meaning: "He who is back from the dead." And what she saw were creatures with pitch black eyes, and grey skin
"Oohhh tree witches, that's great. Good to see you all. Saves me the stress then."
Manandra looked in awe, they were freaking tree-..... what exactly is going on? She asked herself.
"And it is really great to see you too" They replied together."
"You know how I've missed all your accordance and unity" The guy said to them.
"Okay, please could you guys head start the building of the castle while the humans will do the rest."
He said to the tree witches and went to a particular spot. He raised his hands up, stones, rocks and vines appeared and came out of the ground and in a few seconds, a throne was made. A spooky creepy-looking throne was made. It gave that Halloween vibe.
"Just how I remember it." The guy said.
P.S guys: The guy, is the bitchy monster who is now the breath taking handsome cute guy, with blue eyes that Manandra is having thoughts to escape from. His name is currently unknown.
Manandra was left in shock. Is this humanly possible?. But she noticed that, no-one was really focusing on her, so she guessed, it was the right time to escape.
"You may begin". The guy said, to the tree witches.
They began to raise their hands and chant some things and every where began to shake. Manandra wanted to stick around and see what would happen next, but she didn't even know what they were doing so she needed to escape.
As the whole place shook and things fell off, she decided to take the back door of the church and escape. But by the time she had reached, it was blocked by some rocks which was climbable. Manandra had no choice. She began to climb but every thing moved around magically making it harder to climb.
She climbed the best she could, almost reaching the top. She noticed that every thing was changing shape and colour. And some of the magic stuff started dissolving out. She had never seen anything like this before.
Manandra climbed until she could see the sky, she could taste freedom and when she was almost at the top, the walls straightened up and she lost balance and fell. All the movement had stopped, and every where was quiet, and her body made a loud thud. Very! very!! very!!! loud thud, considering the height.
It was so loud that she was sure the guy heard it. She tried staying quiet, closing her eyes and pressing her lips into a thin line, hoping they did not hear her. Unfortunately, they did.
"Who is there?" The guy asked.
Manandra sulked on how she could almost taste freedom but she didn't. She was so frightened and afraid, she didn't answer. She just laid there stiffened, closing her eyes so tight, as she clutched her self not knowing what else to do.
"I said who is there?" The guy still asked.
But Manandra still didn't answer and just laid there. Before she could lift a leg, she was dragged by an unknown force and when she opened her eyes she was right in front of the guy on his throne. When Manandra saw that it was him, she immediately began to act possessed.
"Drop the act at once! this is one of the most stupidest things you've done." The guy said, "Also sensible though" he added with a reconsidering face.
"What! you knew from the start?" Manandra asked.
" Obviously, you didn't think I'd know? I know the people I possess and obviously you weren't one. But you're quite a good actor"
Manandra noticed that the place was no longer a church, but a sophisticated palace-like castle, and looked like it dated back to first century. Mandy twisted and turned her head looking around with a dramatic music playing in her mind until she was distracted by the guy's voice.
"Ohhhhh my runaway bride! why did you try to escape?"
"Ohhh my God, how dare he". Manandra thought.
"First of all, I am not a runaway bride or your runaway bride. Second of all,I didn't try to escape, I left. "
"Master Damon...." The three witches said, they were shocked at Mandy's words, she ought to have been killed by now.
"Feisty", He said calmly. "Who are you" Damon added.
"And who the hell are you? You can't just tell me what to do, and where the hell are my friends, I just want to see them right now, not all this your..... She said looking at him from up to down demonstrating her disgust with her hands.
"What utter disrespect! do you know who I am?"
Yup, the guy's name was Damon and he looked very mysterious. He just stood up and went straight to her and held up her chin then said;
"You know I could end your life in just a second but that's not the case, you should learn to watch your tongue when talking to people you know nothing about" He said letting her face go.
"Okay now, he's advising me like my dad" Manandra said very quietly.
"Okay dad, thanks for the advice but that's not my problem right now, I just wanna see my friends" Manandra said to him.
Damon only chuckled and said;
"You have so much guts, because everything is fine on your side its fine on theirs as well, but the question is, do they want to see you?"
"Yes they would, why wouldn't they.."
"Well I don't think so."
"I don't care what you think, you weren't there."
The three witches gasped again. Is Damon really tolerating this girl's nonsense?.
"Ohhh I wasn't, then could you explain to me in details what happened and then the reason why they should see you?"
Then manandra thought, how could she explain to him that she was truly the one at fault. But before she could say anything, Damon said;
"So forget it. And you're not leaving." He said the last words mockingly to her face. Manandra stared at him angrily until she heard a group of voices.
"Akstravinut"
It was a group of people that had snakes for hair, and some had pale white skin, and some where extremely black skinned.
"Ohhhhhh gorgons, thou had come so soon. Smiles on my face just to see every one bright and well.
"It's been so long, how long have we waited?" One of them said.
"Longer than expected." Another one said.
"All that matters now is that we are here" Damon said
While they where talking Manandra thought it was the best time to escape. She scanned around and saw an open entrance leading to a hallway, she guessed. It was most likely a hallway. Even if she didn't really know where it led, it was a great head start.
Just as she quietly crawled to the entrance, she peeped and realised it was a hallway. She beamed in excitement. She stood up and was about to pass. She could feel freedom, once again. Damon noticed her and said:
"Going some where?"
Manandra stopped in her tracks, with one leg out and one leg in. She turned as pale as a ghost. Intense fear gripped her. Why, why, why!!!!!! she thought. Once again, when she got so close to freedom, when she could almost touch it, she missed.
"No no, what!. What are you talking about?. Just looking around you know, taking a tour" Manandra said going back to the throne looking around.
"Drop it, drop the act, it's obvious you were trying to escape"
Manandra cleared her throat and gulped uneasily.
"What the hell are you talking about!?"
"Just stop! you know I warned you" He said waking towards her.
"Wait, you did".
"I wouldn't waste my energy trying to repeat my words. Let me actually possess you to be very sure that you wouldn't escape. Saves you the stress of acting, don't you think" He said with a smirk, as he got very close and raised his hand.
"Okay. fine. I did try to escape but I swear it wouldn't happen again," Manandra said. Damon turned his back and waltzed towards his throne
"Please don't do this.... I beg of you". Manandra begged and begged while Damon was already seated. For a moment Mandy thought it was over. And he had heard her pleads.
"Too late".
He said and blasted her, that same blue light to her chest. Manandra screamed in pain, and she unwillingly dropped to the ground. This lasted for about one minute and then he stopped.
Manandra sat on the ground, she felt dizzy. She placed her hand on her head, confused. Why could she still feel her mind. Why is she still aware of her environment. Didn't he possess her? She tried to stand up but she fell back down. Her hands were shaking and she could barely feel her legs, so she kept on falling. Finally she stood up and said:
"What did you do to me? how can I still feel my mind? why am I aware and still able to talk"
"You're possessed doesn't mean you can't talk," Damon replied.
But Manandra still didn't have balance, so she kept on tripping, and holding onto close by things, still felling very dizzy. AS Mandy was able to stand but her legs where shaky.
" Ughh. No no, that's not what I meant, what did you do to me."
"Something that will always bring you back to me whenever you try to escape"
"What!, why...."
Manandra couldn't complete her sentence, cause she lost balance and fell right on top of Damon. Everybody's eyes grew wide, they where shocked including Manandra.
She fell right unto him, with one hand on his chest and the chair was quite bent, so it was almost as if they where lying down. Her hand could feel his hard rock chest, and their faces almost touched. In reality, their lips almost touched. She was on top of him, and their eyes met.
She stared deep into his eyes, and was literally mesmerised. The more she stared the more she got mesmerised. She was just lost in his deep blue eyes.
She could feel pain and evil at the same time kindness, she didn't fully understand what she felt, but for sure it wasn't normal. He's not human.
