Author POV
He stared at his own image, standing before him, and staring dangerously at him, like he’ll kill devour him anytime soon. His heart came thumping heavily against his ribcage, as he stared back at the danger before him, wondering where he came from. Balls of sweats formed on his forehead, as he stepped back in fear. He gulped down nothing nervously, as he held on the dresser, for support. As much as he wanted to run for his dear life, he just couldn’t bring himself to moving, as he felt his legs, heavy on the ground.
“Wh… who are you.” He managed to ask, after a long silence, as his voice quivered in fear. He tried to cover up his fear and nervousness, but it kept consuming him. The aura, coming from his own mysterious image, keep driving him to the edge of terror, as he found himself, drowning in fear.
“I am you.” His voice echoed in the room, as he stared dangerously at Khalid, like he’ll devour him anytime soon. He looked so angry, the aura coming from him, is one of the most dangerous and killing auras of the devil, he looked like Lucifer himself.
Khalid stared at him in confusion, trying to process what he just said. He knows the person standing before him, is his own image, but he didn’t want to believe that he’s the same person. How possible is that?…
Alpha Khalid POV
I stared at him in fear, as I gulped down nothing like a million times. I can’t believe I’m scared, I can’t believe the fierce Alpha Khalid, is drowning in fear under his own roof, I can’t believe that in my existence, something like this could ever happen to me, just who is he?
Too many questions came flooding my mind, as I stared into his dark eyes, my heart pounding hard against my chest, like it was trying to force its way out. I tried finding my courage, but it seemed they all disappeared, I tried finding the fierce Alpha Khalid in me, but it seemed that even he, was scared of his own demon-like image, standing before him, all I could see, is the weak Khalid, getting drowned in his image dark and intimidating aura.
I mustered courage, and stepped forward to touch him, I needed to confirm something, I needed to know if it was reality, or just my illusion, but before my hand could touch him, he already disappeared into thin air, as I felt my heart skipped in fear…
Octavia POV
The sound of metals, clattering, jolted me out of my deep slumber, as I forced my eyes opened, to behold two blur figures, doing what I don’t know on the bar. My vision became clear after a few seconds, as I realized that the two figures, are the guards. My heart skipped on fear, and I winced in pains, as I forced myself to sit up. Oh no! Is it time for my punishment again?
I tilted my head towards the small window, and I realized that it was already daylight, it’s time for my punishment. I know it’s not something I can escape from, but they should let me recover from all the bruises and pains from the one of yesterday.
They finally came in, and started walking towards me, while I crawled back weakly, ignoring the pains, that kept cutting through my body.
Once they got to me, they held me, and pulled me up roughly, while I winced in pains. My once flawless skin, have turned to the skin of a tiger, with a different marks and bloodstains. As much as I wanted to scream my lungs out, from the pains they were inflicting on me, with the way they were handling me, I know it’s pointless, knowing it won’t change anything, even if I screamed my whole intestine out.
I endured the pain, as they kept dragging me through the hallway, and I didn’t need anyone to tell me where they were taking me to, I’m going to receive the beating of my life.
Once we got outside to the open place, where there were so many people, gathered just like yesterday, to witness me, go through pains and torture, without any of them, able to stand up for me, they pushed me roughly to the ground, as I felt a strong wave of pains, filled the whole of me, from inside.
Raising my gaze slowly, my eyes met with the devil himself, sitting on a chair, enjoying me, being in pains. I don’t know how it’s going to happen, but if I eventually get out of this pains alive, I’ll make sure I make him go through a million times of the pains, which he’s inflicting on me now, I’ll make sure I torture him so much, till he begs me to kill him.
As much as I was in pain, I made up my mind that I wasn’t going to cry, not in the presence of this bastard, I won’t let him see me in pains, I won’t let him see my tears.
While I was still glaring hard at him, four strong arms, held my hands, and pulled me up, before tying me in between a standing pole, with each of my hands, tied to each pole. As much as my feet hurts, I tried to be strong.
I clenched my fist, and gritted my teeth, as I glared hard at him, with so much hatred, flooding my heart for him.
The sharp pain on my back, jerked me back to reality, as I cringed in pains, and closed my eyes tightly.
With every lash that landed on my back, I felt my heart, shattering into pieces, my whole body was on fire, I felt like crying, but then, I didn’t want him seeing my tears. I closed my eyes, and clenched my fists tightly, taking in the whole pains, and soon, I felt my eyes heavy, my legs couldn’t carry me anymore, as I let my whole weight down, and that was all I remembered…
