Wind echo's through her ears, her long dirt blonde hair chasing behind her, sprinting through the empty dim and dark town. Turning into a tight alleyway, her trembling hands covered her mouth as he walks past, hard steady footsteps echoed through the alleyway before his large hands reach in and grip her arm tightly pulling her out into the open.
" you didn't really think you could escape đ⯠did you?" His tone is low and threatening, his body pressed against hers, his white hair covering his eyes , her whimpers filled the air.
" let me go!" She cried out trying to pull out of his grasp.
" why should I? You need to be punishedâŚ" he leaned down his hot breath against her ear causing the hairs on the back of her neck to stand up
" you should have known better than to go outside when we so clearly have a cerfew set " he added his grip tightening around her arm causing her to whimper.
" be a good girl and tell me your name." He says his tone threatening and dangerous.
She looked up at him her eyes a soft lavender yet filled with fear.
" I-it's Lila, Lila SullivanâŚ" she stammers out
" Lila huh?" He repeated testing her name out on his know tongue a soft smirk crosses his face, he slowly releases his hand from her arm.
" a-a-and you are�" Lila hesitated
He glanced over at her.
" you'll find out soon " he said in a deep voice " now go home " he added before walking into the shadows disappearing before her eyes.
The next morning Lila wakes up to a letter sealed letter stamped with the kingdoms sigle imprinted on the front, apone opening, Lila heart drops to her stomach, hands trembling as she reads a dark invitation.
