BLOOD CROWN: 008

"Hey! I need to pee!" 

Roxanne bashed the door, each bang was louder than the last. "Is there anyone out there? I'm going to pee on the floor! Open the door damnit!" She pressed her ear against the door, hoping to detect the sound of footsteps and a grin stretched on her lips when she did. 

She footed away from the door as it finally unlocked, disclosing a bearded man with a fatigued expression.

"What?!" His tone came out brisk but he could go fuck himself for all she cared.

Roxie clutched her legs together and bent with her hand over her stomach. "I need to pee."

He did a speedy scan over her with his dull eyes. "Do you take me for a nitwit? This isn't a fucking movie princess. Stay there before I tie you to the bed." He hissed, striving to shut the door but she grabbed it.

"Please, I swear I'm not fibbing. I really need to use the toilet. Please, please!" She bit painfully on her bottom lip and clenched her legs even tighter. Again, his eyes went aimlessly over her before he blew out a sigh. 

He put his hand into his back pocket and plowed in front of her a blindfold. "You are going to put that on or pee on the damn floor." 

She flashed him a desperate smile and snatched the blindfold before the asshole changed his mind. Roxie tied the piece of cloth over her eyes and was promptly engulfed by darkness, then he caught her wrist and tugged her along.

She couldn't see anything but she didn't mind, she shadowed him blindly till he was shoving her into a room and the door slammed shut. Immediately, she took off the blindfold and nearly winced at the luminance. 

She looked around the bathroom; there was a toilet and a shower, and then, her gaze plunged to the tiny window above the toilet. 

"Hey, are you done there?!" A knock came on the door.

"Hold on a sec! You need to let a lady take her time!" She yelled while mounting on the toilet seat, reaching the window, Roxie found myself peeking straight out in a green grove. Wasn't her luck just great or it was just rotten?

Roxie descended and opened the door, peeking her head out, the asshole looked at her with a bored expression. "Can I have a shower too? I feel humid and dirty, I promise I won't make much time. Five minutes is enough, please?"

"Just do whatever you want and get the fuck out!" He waved his hand dismissively and she went back in, shutting the door and putting the lock on it.

Roxie moved fast, turning on the shower before heading back to the window, luckily it was just glass as she slid it open.

She looked at the tiny space and down at her figure—She was bigger but she didn't care as she climbed on, sticking her head and the rest of her upper body out, then her hips got stuck—Roxie didn't think they were that large!

She propelled and wriggled till her whole body was out of the window and she anchored with her face on the dirty ground. Roxie held back an utterance and thrust herself off the ground. First, she looked at both sides and then she ran, as fast as her legs could carry her without looking back. She headed for the green, misty forest without a sense of destination—she just wanted to get as far away as she could from that house.

However, she didn't get as far as she wanted because five minutes later, she heard the sound of running steps, voices behind her, and then wolves.

Fuck! She cried out and fastened her pace. 

"SOMEBODY HELP ME!!" She screeched to no one but tall trees that just watched as she ran past them. However, the further she went, her vision began to whirl. "Fuck no, please! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!"

And then, she heard it; the sound of her name.

"ROXANNE!" 

She paused, listening for the direction of the voice till she realized it was coming ahead of her! "SOM-" She opened my mouth to yell but instantly shut it, realizing she didn't know who was yelling her name in a forest but the longer she stood there, she could hear the growls and howls of wolves behind her, getting closer.

At that moment, Roxie realized she was standing at the center of danger but there was no way she was going back, so she took the path ahead, racing towards the sound of her name. 

Dear gods! This was not where her story came to an end right? She sprinted faster till she abruptly came to a halt in a clear opening and front of her were her first kidnapers. Just fucking great!

Should she be relieved? Roxie didn't know what to feel or think as the danger behind her got closer and without a second, she ran straight for the danger ahead—into the arms of her handsome kidnappers. 

"Damn, are you okay?!"

She was boomeranged with questions but all she suddenly cared about were the arms she fell into. The handsome one, then the sound of growls and grunts yanked her out of her thoughts and when she turned, there were five wolves with black pupils. 

Roxie was unable to encompass the loud and startled gasp that tugged out of her but the arms around her tauten and her head was placed on the crook of his neck, giving her a full dose of his scent that seemed to do things to her body in ways she couldn't explain.

"Shhhh. I got you. You're safe now." 

Her mind knew about the precarious wolves about to rend them from lep to rip but her body fell under the spell of his deep, honey-like voice and words that she surrendered without putting up a fight, because in his arms as outlandish as it sounded, she felt protected so she gave in and then, her mind and body gave out.
