As Nyx screamed, she had expected a wave of endless pain to pass through her but she was shocked when she didn't feel anything.
She snapped her eyes open as she saw someone standing in front of her. Not someone, rather, something.
"Woah there tiger, she's trespassing" the man who had tried to hurt her said, throwing Nyx a quick glance.
"Get lost Kael, I don't care. She's mine and you do not have anything right whatsoever to hurt anyone that belongs to me" The man who had saved Nyx said. His voice was calm and cold, it was devoid of any emotions.
He just called me 'mine'. Nyx couldn't help but blush but she soon reminded herself that she was in grave danger. She looked at the two men having a glaring competition.
Ever slowly, she crawled away from them.
"You little dragon has flown away, better go get her and keep her out of my territory. Last warning" Kael said as he threw the cloaked man a weary smile before disintegrating.
The cloaked man turned as he looked around. He wasn't in the mood for all these child's play, he closed his eyes for a brief moment as he took a deep breath before slowly walking to the direction in which Nyx had gone to.
Nyx had been walking for a while, her feets were bare and injured from the constant running. Her hair was messy and glued to her face, she was hungry and thirsty. As she sat on the floor, her eyes scanning through the woods, she suddenly saw someone approaching.
She stood up about to run when she found herself rooted on the ground. Nyx couldn't move, she stared at the cloaked man walking towards her with fear in her heart as she shook her head.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Nyx suddenly asked once the man was close enough to her. She had no idea that this man could even hear the sound of her breathing and heartbeat even from miles away.
"That's a funny thing to ask the person who just save you now. Isn't it little dragon?" The cloaked man asked as he stood in front of her. His eyes ran down her body ever slowly, he took his time to stare at all her features and every curve of her body that made her so alluring.
"Thank you sir. But I'd really like to go home, I don't know who you are or what you are but what I know is that you most certainly aren't human!" Nyx said determined, she saw how his eyes glowed under the moonlight and she knew he wasn't human.
When she was little, she heard of tales of rather stories of mysterious creatures that lived through the world's. The most famous one's were vampires. Nyx had been so frightened of them when she was little but she had a feeling this man was something more than a vampire or even a demon but she couldn't place it.
"I'm most certainly not a human, Nyx. But what I am you'll surely know in the future, we need to get out of here for now before you get your head slit open" The cloaked man said. Nyx didn't know who this man was, but she felt safe with him in a way. She wanted to go home and not some place else.
"Are you going to take me home?" Nyx said but it was more like a whisper.
"We are going to my home, Nyx. You are my wife, after all" He said as he turned walking to the opposite direction from which he came. Nyx tried to move and suddenly she did, the thought of running came to her mind.
"Don't even think about it" the cold voice of the cloaked man reminded her she was no longer a free being but sold off for marriage.
Nyx sighed as she looked at the direction she had ran from saying a silent goodbye as she followed the cloaked man. One of these days she would escape but instead of being killed it would be better to just accept whatever life brings her way.
Nyx followed the cloaked man for a while, but it felt like the walking wasn't going to stop. Nyx stopped as she bent taking a breath, the cloaked man stopped too allowing her rest.
"We'd soon get to the inn the rest of my men are, from there we would he'd to the kingdom" cloaked man said leisurely as nyx stared at him like some mad man. He sounded arrogant and sassy with his cold, nonchalant voice.
Arriving at a dark and shady inn, three horses were mounted right in front with two men dressed in armour's on them.
"Welcome back my king, shall we?" The one who had a large body frame asked as the cloaked man hummed in agreement.
"I-i don't know how to ride a horse" Nyx felt the need to say that but the three men glanced at her boredly.
"I must say though boss, this one is quite the catch. Nothing like any of your concubines" the second man with a small body frame said as Nyx glanced at him with a glare.
"Hands and eyes to yourself Malcolm. Nyx, I want you to meet my two right hand men. Malcolm and Gregory. Boys, meet your future queen. She goes by the name, nyx" Cloaked man said as he glanced at Nyx who stared back at him almost immediately.
"Shall we?" Greg didn't acknowledge nyx as he asked the cloaked man. The cloaked man nodded as he stared at the beautiful white horse in front of him.
"I'll lift you up Nyx" the cloaked man walked behind nyx, giving her a reassuring nod as he wrapped his hands on her waist. As he helped her on the horse.
Nyx was a bit frightened but stayed out as cloaked man climbed on almost immediately. As he grabbed the horse by it's reins as he looked back at Nyx.
"Hold on tight little dragon" he said as he smirked, a smirk only he could see.
