  [ DESTINY  CARTER  ]

They ran behind me like wolves of woods.I kept running as fast as I could in the quilled downsreets but those bulky men were fast enough than me whom that monster had sent to bring me back in his harem.

"I guess boss won't leave her tonight."One of them said giving a shiver tremble my whole body and courage.

I was in their cage and soon they will platter me to him.The future scenes me under him screaming for my life and he satisfying his never dying lust was enough to suck the confidence our of my will power.

The hooded man who was an African leaned over me and with his nueasated smirk while the other tried to rope me.

They were glaring me with their red bulgy eyes.I pulled a small knife from the back pocket of my jeans and lunged on hooded man.The sharp blade peirced his stomach which made him rattle on the ground .

Taking this as my opportunity to escape,I pushed them with my unsteady hands,I squarmed in the narrow lane.

"Stop you bitch.You don't know what our boss can do with you."They yelled and chased me like wild dogs.

My whole body was burning with pain.My strength was giving up after the hours of continuous running without a single drop of water.

I rotated my neck to glance at the sky which was turning purple at the horizon and the silence was slowly enveloping the city.

I had no idea where to go,whom to ask for shelter to spend the night because there could be those devils smelling for me in the whole city.

My eyes were about to close when I heard the familiar foot steps coming closer along with their shadow on rugged walls of old houses.

"There's she,catch her before she make us roam like stray dogs."They shouted.

"God save me."I sobbed and use all my leftover strength but my  badly bruised feet faltered causing me to tumble on the pebbled road.

My left knee got fresh scar.The pain was worst but I couldn't scream nor let out a moan .

With half opened eyes I found them standing in front of me but suddenly they fell down on the earth one by one . Their bleatings were depicting the harsh blows that had landed

upon them.

Soon they became motionless lying like corpse and a tall male figure leaned over my fainting body.

Finally my vision begun to get blurry.All that I could remember the most enchanting pair of blueish grey eyes staring at me with surprise and his last words that floated into my ears like a sweet melody.

"Sei al sicuro con me principessa".

(You're safe with me Princess)

°°°°°°°°°°°°°

When my senses came back.I My eyes were still drowsy.My whole body was aching with pain but I could feel softness under my back.

It took me few minutes to open my eyes.I expected to wake up in the same rotten cell but it was a totally different place.

Dim light didn't let me predict my location but it was a safer place my sixth sense indicated me.

Indeed it was a huge room with white walls and large window on my left side.The bed itself was larger than

the cell.Certainly it belonged to someone very rich because every single thing of the room was the proof of enormous wealth.

Then suddenly I realised my wounds were bandaged and I had new pairs of clothes put on me.

But how did I land here ?Who brought me to this place.My brain was pounding with pain so I leaned my head back on the feathery pillow.

"Don't exert yourself.It will increase your pain only lady."A deep husky voice floated into my ears.

I snapped my eyes open at the source of the voice.There was a young man standing with a amused smile lingering om his curvy lips.

The scar filled memories started flashing in my vision when something strike my mind.This man had the same eyes I saw before passing out.

It means he was my saviour.Who was he and why he brought me to his place?such questions occupied my that I forgot my courtesy to even say a thanks to him.

He had raven black hairs and sharp jaw.His body was solid.He must had work hard on having a carved muscular frame.The man had a tanned skin,a natural tone in a humid climate,he probably has tattoos on his arms and around neck as they were visible through his flimsy shirt.

The man was radiating intimidation and fear yet I felt secured around him.A part of me wanted to run away but other advised me to accept his shelter.

He covered me properly with the blanket and gave me a glass of water tk drink which I didn't deny to swallow down in a go as my throat was dried.

My hands were trembling to hold the glass firmly but before it could slip from my loose grip he held it and supported my head to drink the water.

"You just take rest.I'll come back with your dinner you must be hungry too."He said putting the glass back on the side table.

"Hey why did you bring me here in your house?"I begged him through eyes for an explanation.

He stopped in his track and craned his face to me with his alluring smile.

"What else you expect me to do hmm just had left you there so that their companion would slaughter you let me add first shred your dignity in the middle of crossroads."He answered with gravity and fear draped tone.

I lowered my head,he was right,he saved me from my doom.I should be showing him gratitude

"Thank you."I chipped gratefully .

He didn't reply but went out of the room while I stared at the ceiling not knowing what to do next in my life.

He came back within some time with a plate full of aromatic food.My stomach churned as soon as the aroma hit my nose.

He put the plate on my lap and himself sat on the last edge of the bed.I glanced at the food with greedy eyes then at my master.

"This food is yours."He pinched the bridge of his sharp nose."You don't need my permission every time to use anything which is in this room because til the time you stay here,you are the owner of this space of yours principessa."

"Destiny,My name is Destiny."I blushed,his piercing eyes were peeking deep into me.

"Contraria al tuo destino Principessa."He repeated slowly in his Italian accent that I couldn't decipher but on his face gave me an assurance that he wouldn't give me those scars,I had been gifted by that  monster.

I finished every bit of the delicious pasta.He took the empty plate from my hands and headed towards the room.

"Hey what yours name."I hesitantly called him from behind.

"Dormi bene Amore."He spoke without turning and closed the door.

Someone please tell him that I don't understand Italian or any other language than English.

My exhausted body soon gave up as soon as it touched the feathery mattresses,the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on.
