Ghoul's Bride is a Witch
He grabbed her wrist and twisted it behind her back. Her face was pressed to the wall and her back hit a hard and firm chest. She was trapped between him and the wall.
“Ahhhh!”, she tried to scream but her voice died down due to the fear. She shivered as she thought it was her vice husband, the ghoul lord, the human eater, who is supposed to behave with no manners, a man of no mercy.
Her heart was in her throat when her hand suddenly touched something sticky and wet. She raised her freed hand to her face and saw abnormally thick and black blood.
She was alerted and she quickly turned back to have a glimpse but she was forced to stand still by the strong intruder. She caught the glimpse of that man; he was tall and his face was veiled in black cloth that looked like some sort of face mask.
She realized that the man in such a hideous clothing on their wedding night could not be her husband. "Has someone sent an assassin to kill her on her wedding night?", she thought.
The girl who just got her freedom by this marriage refused to yield an inch to the intruder.
“Let me GO”
“Who are you?”
“You will get me killed”
“How dare you touch me before His Highness?”
“My lord will think I’m unfaithful”
"His Highness will kill you"
She grew impatient as her life was dearer to her. She just got the chance to live, how could she die just yet? “Please leave, it’s my wedding night, if someone sees you, it will be the end for both of us.”
She realized her threats or pleads weren’t working. She could only rely on her hidden talents.
“You are wounded, not only deeply wounded but you are also poisoned. " She chuckled.
"How long do you think you could you last without treating it”
“I’ll heal you”
“You will let me go and you will disappear from here too”
“If you don’t let me treat you, you’ll die a miserable death”
“Let me go, and I will heal you. I promise I won’t alert anyone, you can leave after I cure the poison and mend your wounds. And if you think I would play tricks on you, remember that you can kill me before the poison kills you.”
She tried to persuade the intruder in her wedding chambers, while she was thinking what to say next, a chilly voice made her go numb.
“Who will mend yours when I’ll make you unable to walk?”, he took a deep lustrous breath and licked his blood-drenched lips.
