I woke up when I felt myself being dragged toward the forest, I grabbed a tree branch and held on for dear life.

It would have been funny, if it wasn't me who was being dragged or kidnapped.

That women from my nightmare -Oh god! Was this another nightmare? - snarled at me and pulled my hair so my chin was up and I was looking directly at her. I flinched and stumbled back, my head was throbbing and I felt as if something sharp held me.

And then, slowly, slowly, my mind began to clear and I felt myself returning to reality. My eyes opened to the pain I felt - it was real.

How could this be! What was happening?

I began to remember the events before darkness consumed me.

I remembered someone did this. This means - It.Is.All.Real! I soon realised.

She then hisses at me, with her thrashing hands into the air. She crouched, reminding me of an animal stalking prey. Also adapting a predatory mindset, I was ready when she jumped at me. My foot hit her square in the chest.

I smirked, she got what she deserved.

I felt the violet guy eyes held amusment. Deep behind those eyes lays hidden secrets and an abbundance of emotion waiting to spill out over the brim of his eyes.

Oh, so he thought this was funny? Was he laughing at me or at her?

Then I saw his eyes on her, like he was happy I hit her.

Aren't they a team? Shouldn't he be angry I hit her and shouldn't he held his patner out? What was their deal? So many questions swirled my mind.

She got up and walked toward and said "You shall pay for that you b***!" and she put her hands around my neck - pst, so, you came to say sorry now? I thought but she started strangling me - not what I had in mind.

She made a hissing sound like the rodent sitting in the middle of the sidewalk on my street. She smiled a crooked smile. I thought of as many curses I can think of!

"That is nothing compared to what I can do to you, you pathetic human!" Her words were cruel like her.

She was really strong. I couldn't breathe, my eyes felt like they were popping out, and legs struggling and I was kicking and my face turning red until I couldn't hold my breath any more, and I fell to the ground.

I want to strangle her so much!

I couldn't turn my face from her, because my neck was too stiff, The deadness invaded my arms and shoulders.

It entered my trunk and strangled my lungs. For seconds, frightened I couldn't breathe in there, I reacted as if underwater.

"Leave her be Priscilla!" The guy was glaring at that her, there was something in his voice, a hint of hidden anger,

"This isn't why Lord Derek send us here. Our job is to get her and bring her to him."

"Who are you to tell me what I should do and not, Jeremy, I shall do as I pleas-"

"I said leave her and let us carry on our journey!" he growled.

As he spoke, I couldn't help but stare into his eyes. They were enthralling, like sparkling kaleidoscopes of color. They were celery violet, but also dark violet. Dashes of emerald speckled his irises. And for some reason, they looked like they had seen a lifetime.

A quiver of something that was not quite fear and not quite desire went through me and I knew he sensed it from the way his eyes narrowed to me.

Could he, somehow read peoples minds? Of course not.

His voice was warm, deep and rich and his eyes were beautiful, surrounded by a large mass of jet-black hair half pulled back into a thin strap of leather.

It was the first time he spoke, and there was something about his eyes that was so familiar, or his voice. I felt like I knew him forever, But of course it was just my imagination.

Those dark violet, glorious eyes were lighted with a sparkling brilliancy - the lips were beautifully crimsoned and slightly apart - oh god. What was wrong with me. His eyes are all I am taking about.

Then I saw Priscilla curse under her breath - something about Jeremy taking the side of some insolent human, but she did stop strangling me - perhaps frightened of this 'lord' of hers.

I saw Jeremy crounched beside me, and his eyes softened as he skimmed his hand up my arm pushing my sleeve up. Slowly, he glided his fingers down causing my flesh to break out in goose bumps.

With little thought, I whacked his hand away.

"Don't touch me." I gritted through my teeth.

He startled me when his rough hand gripped my hand agian and he tightend the rope oh, of course, it was just to tie me with the rope. What was I thinking?!

He tied me with the rope like, I would escape.

Yes, I thought, I would have, If there was a way, but they would hunt me down and I wouldn't even escape.

"Perhaps I should let Priscilla do what she was doing?" He questioned, I was unable to read his expriesson but I thought it was amusment when he said that, but I couldn't see him because of the mask.

"I'd rather endure it," I gritted through my teeth. "I'm tougher than that!" I heard him chuckle.

So he find this hilarious? Would he still be laughing if it was him that was getting kidnapped.

He let Priscilla drag me head hanging down, my toes scraping against the concrete floor.

I didn't dare look back to my house, in fear that I might burst into tears. We entered the line of trees. Darkness beckoned beyond.

Priscilla head snapped towards me and she motioned for me to follow her but my stomach clenched so tightly it ached.

Mum was de- No I couldn't say it. It can't be true. Maybe I was dreaming, maybe somehow she is alive, but of course my hope was little. Who could have done that to her? Could it be these disgusting creatures, do this!? I couldn't even think of them as humans, for humans do not to thinks such as that, but they migh've not done this... my thoughts were muddled up.

As for my brother, what would he think? They would be searching for me, but the hope of them finding me was low and I didn't want them to get harmed because of me, because I knew these people or creatures were dangerous people.

What about Jem? He was avioding me since that almost-kiss. What did he think of me. I for once would miss him, even thought he might, or might not. I felt apang in my chest at the thought of him not missing me or any harm coming to him, and although I hated to admit it-

My heart ached at my thoughts and my shoulders slumped.

I was starting to panic. I had to get out of here, and my mind was imagining an array of horrible outcomes of my kidnapping.

My palms had become sweaty and my racing heart was thundering in my chest as I half-walked and half-ran, desperately trying to keep up with their strides.

"Why are you doing this?" I pleaded with my kidnapper.

But both of them said nothing, they didn't even look at me. They just kept walking ahead and dragging me along behind them. with no more explanations as to what they were planning to do with me.

I was terrified, and I had no idea if I was going to survive this. But I tried to be brave. Maybe I could talk my way out of this?

"You do know that this is called kidnapping?" I said, trying to reason with them.

They didn't bother to answer.

"What will happen to me now?" I squeaked, my voice breaking, as I tried not to cry.

"Lord Derek will decide what is to be done with you, but first we will be going throught the forest to Dythian." said Priscilla - that women, finally. This lord derek didn't seem nice, if it was him who orderd them to kidnap me or even, kill.... my... NO! for if he did I would kill him, I would have my revengue.

And once we went through the invisible wall, once we were in
Dythian, there was no way for my brother to ever find me. I'd be little more than a lamb in a strange kingdom with people with different colored eyes!

When I said different coloured eyes I felt as if someone was gazing at me. When I turned towards him, he pretended as if he had been looking somewhere else. It was not the first time. From the time they kidnapped me he was gazing at me like this.

There was something in that face, in those eyes, which told that he knew something I didn't.

When he felt me looking at him, he turned back to gaze at me.

His eyes were fixed on me all the time as if he was daring me to tell him something. He did not take his eyes off me even though his face was tightened and contorted, I felt inanticipation to punch him in the face.

His eyes slowly softened. His sadness and pity and fear dissolved into pure love. Radiating from those glimmering eyes, it traveled the short distance to the one standing in its way, and completely obliterated me.
I was unable to dodge it.

How dare he? He kidnaps me and gives me those pitying looks, like he feels sorry for me. If he really did, why? Why, didn't he stop her?

As we carries on walking, I was looking for a lookout, but there wasn't any. So I had no sense of where they were taking me. Just the endless forest, and the endless climb, and the endless mist.

Every step toward the line of trees was too swift, too light, too soon carrying me to whatever torment and misery awaited.
