"Put me down!" Maris exclaimed when she was free from the mini paralysis she was having with her hands still secured around the unknown person's neck. His smell was pretty familiar.

He didn't stop, he kept running and taking routes Maris wasn't familiar with. She could hardly keep her eyes open because the breeze filled her eyes and made them teary.

With a thumping heart, she yelled again, "Put me down!"

Suddenly, he stopped and released her legs, sending her to the ground on her buttocks. She winced, shutting her eyes tight.

"What the hell?" She tried to catch her breath with her back flat on the grass. "Who are you?"

There was no reply, but the sound of him breathing heavily made it's way to her ears and she raised her head up to look at the mysterious person.

"You!" Her eyebrows kissed each other in anger when she recognized him to be the boy who hugged her at her working place. "What the hell do you want from me?"

He was handsome. His brows were a little bit bushy, but he had a pointed nose that sat gracefully above Cupid bow lips.

She stood up and tightened her fists, wishing she could forget them on his eyes. She eyed him from head to toe and felt a pang of hatred in her heart for him.

"I need your cooperation, ma'am,"  He answered softly with a curt bow.

"I don't understand what is going on." She raked her fingers in her hair and took in a deep breath. "You kidnapped me from my car and expect me to cooperate?"

"You're in danger, Maris." He straightened the collar of his red check shirt.

"What in Sannaville are you yapp-" she hesitated then a frown crawled upon her face. "How do you know my name is Maris?"

His eyes softened and she could have sworn she saw his cheeks heating up for a minute before he wore a flat look.

"That isn't important... You're in danger and-"

"You're a stalker and you kidnapped me," she said through gritted teeth and drilled a hole into his forehead.

"Not exactly, but I'm serious about the danger... Would you just listen to me?" He raised his hands in the air.

"No!" She exclaimed and stomped her feet on the ground, close to a tree with her chest heaving.

The tree shook and the birds flew out from it. Apples fell from the tree.

"Ouch!" She held her head because an apple had made harsh contact with her head. "Did I do that?"

She directed her gaze to the boy who watched her in amazement.

"What did you do to me!" She screamed. "I'm very sure you're the reason my eyes sparked and this," she raised her fist to his face and pointed at the red bruise on it. "You also caused this."

"No, I didn't." His elf like ears moved up and down.

"Yes, you-"

Maris didn't get to finish her sentence because a wolf howled and he glanced at the sky with worry lines forming on his forehead.

Maris crouched with a hand on her stomach when she felt an intense pain in it. She groaned and clutched her stomach the more, feeling like the blood running through her veins had been boiled.

"Oh, no. It's becoming strong." The boy muttered. "We need to get out of here, they are coming." He stated when another wolf howled.

"Who are they?" Maris managed to speak amidst the pain she was feeling.

"Just hop on my back."

"So you could kidnap me?" She stood upright with bug eyes. "No, thank you."

"We do not have much time, hop." He tapped on his back.

Maris folded her arms against her chest with an 'I don't care' face. "No."

"That's it." He growled and his fangs elongated, but he shielded them with his lips and marched towards her.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"This." He lifted her up from her knee and placed her on his shoulder, her head and limbs hanging down his body.

"Let me be!" She banged her fists on his back, but he was way stronger than her.

"Brace yourself." His voice sounded deeper than before.

"W-"

He cut Maris short by running so fast, she was bopping up and down on his shoulders.

"...hy me!" She cried.

*************

Something tugged the insides of her stomach and she peeled her eyes open. She found herself in a cave and on a mat made out of straw.

Her heart skipped a beat when the thought of being devoured by wolves filled her head and she turned to the right, only to bump into the chest of the guy that had abducted her.

He didn't have any shirt on and his long eye lashes hugged each other. She instantly became jealous.

How can a guy has longer lashes than me?

Her subconscious questioned and she rolled her eyes before concentrating on his face. His lips were alluring and they matched her pink nail polish. He breathed softly and a small smile graced his lips, which she couldn't help, but to mirror.

He was fast asleep and innocent looking like a baby. Her heart fluttered when his dimples were in sight.

She drifted her gaze to his chest and studied every mark and hair on it, wondering where he had gotten a particular scar on his shoulder. She was comfortable in his arms for some reasons.

Her eyes went higher again and her stomach tied itself into knots.

His eyes are beautiful when he's asleep. Wait, what?

"Staring must be your hobby."

She sat up immediately and her cheeks heated up when she realized he was awake. Her red hair covered her face and he sat up, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Calm down." He tucked her hair behind her ear and it sent tingles down her arms and ankles. Weird.

"Why have I been abducted by you to live in this," she paused and looked around the cave. "This stinky cave."

"I haven't abducted you, Maris." He answered, his hands on her shoulder.

"Then what have you done?" She shoved his hand and got to her feet.

"Protecting that belongs to me." He replied and got to his feet.

"You're insane, how do I belong to you?" She questioned with disgust written all over her face.

"Consort is how." He moved closer to her and grabbed both her shoulders. "You have to trust me, Maris."

His voice was raspy and the way he called her name did something to her insides. She shoved the feeling off and replaced it with anger.

"What ever." She pushed him away and sat on the mat, pulling out her phone and going through her gallery.

She stumbled on the disturbing image of a naked man who appeared to be a Greek God. Her nose wrinkled when she looked below his waist.

Wait, so it wasn't a dream? Her subconscious asked and she gulped. Was she really in danger?

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Just stumbled on something disturbing." She reluctantly answered, her eyes never leaving the phone screen.

"Can I see?" He asked, extending his hand to him and she obliged.

"What, you have the devil's nudes?!"

"Devil's nudes?!" Maris' throat went dry and her heart picked up it's pace, followed by sweaty palms.

"You're in great danger, Maris."

    There was a pallid look on Maris' face by the time she strode deeper into the place that was dimly lit by a light, reflected from metres away.The discoloration on her face meant one thing–she was uncomfortable and something dark was lurking in this room, which pricked at her skin, causing her to swallow hard. Eyes scanning the place that looked like an ice cave, she was mesmerized amidst uneasiness.She led them, following the blue light with Dracula by her side. She could hear just how his heart was beating in anticipation."Maris." Egon called and she froze in her tracks, taking her time to glance over her shoulder. "Come, I have something to show you."Maris chanced a glance at the devil's displeased demeanor. He wore a mask of irritation as he watched Egon whisk her away to a darker path on the right."Where are you going?" Dracula and Logan asked, distaste laced in their words as they quickly shared a look of hat

    "Why should I trust you?" Dracula gave Egon a long skeptical look with both his eyes squinted."Because it's fact. I mean, why do you think the devil made it a forbidden place and doesn't allow us sirens and tritons, owners of the land to visit there?" Egon questioned, making a lot of sense. "Because he doesn't want anyone to get a hold of his weakness."Dracula hummed, stroking his chin lightly and thinking deep about what Egon had just said."Think about how powerful you'll be if you get a hold of the Crystal. Give us Maris and we'd take you there." Egon tried to strike a deal, but Dracula shook his head in dismay."No, I'm not letting you have Maris just like that. What if you're lying?" Dracula's brows knitted into a frown as he pierced his eyes into that of Egon's."We'll take you there ourselves then." Egon offered and Dracula gave it a long thought before accepting.They journeyed together again, chatteri

    Cold fear settled in her stomach when she locked gazes with Dracula. Darkness sat on his head like a crown and caused Maris to stop breathing for a minute.His face had a stoic expression on it with dead eyes. He held his index finger to his lips and swiped his thumb on his neck, gesturing for her to keep shut or die.Well, what a zinger. Dracula was breaching the agreement he had with her people for the sake of his own selfish reasons.He pressed his palm harder to her lips and dragged her quietly out of the tent, into the cold night. Bats flew over them and black birds stood on the branches of the tall trees surrounding them.At the drop of a hat, he whisked Maris away and deeper into the forest, carrying her bridal style. Maris had seen enough this season and she would give anything just to be free and normal again."There he is." Dick pointed at Dracula enthusiastically when he had arrived. "Tie her, she's a fighte

    MarisMaris' breathing accelerated, so did her heart beat. Her muscles tensed and she vibrated, palms balled into fists. The sight of Dracula gripping Logan's throat set her soul on fire.Abruptly, she broke the chain around her wrist, turned and grasped the neck of the vampire that was refraining her from going over to Dracula."Dracula!" Her voice sounded like a whistle, causing the vampires to whine, hands covering their ears. "Leave him alone or I'll kill him!"Dracula dryly looked at her like he was bored to death–saying, "Really?"His brows arched and Maris had a firm grip on the vampire's neck who gasped for air. Her eyes turned eerily black. The strength in her multiplied as she gritted her teeth and was slowly raising the vampire with his neck.Dracula wasn't in anyway bothered. He continued to tighten his grip, closing up Logan's windpipe.The fact it didn't make Dracula flinch made her fr

    Dracula"Who are you?" Dracula stepped forward, pushing Lucy behind him to safety, his fangs slowly shooting out."My name is Egon Ajax Kayden and I am a Triton, fill in leader of the sirens." He announced, flames burning in his eyes as he set his staff down. "You have what belongs to us!"Dracula scrunched up his face and glanced around him for anything he might have taken from the siren kingdom. He hadn't even been there before.Maris was excited, she could feel a connection with the man. Could he be her brother or father? But this man was too young to be her dad."No, I don't." Dracula shrugged, interlocking fingers with Lucy in an attempt to walk out, but the Triton stopped him by holding out his staff to Dracula's chest."Yes, you do. You have one of our kind and we heard her cry for help." He stated, still keeping his cool."Wait, aren't sirens just women?" Dracula frowned. "I thought the males got

    Maris~~Azazel's dungeon."Help me, I need to get out of this place." Maris sobbed, tears trailing down her cheeks.With her back against the bars, she slid down to the floor and hugged her knees to her chest."I just want everything to go back to normal, I want Logan." She wailed, earning a pitiful look from Lucy."I wish there was a way to help you, but my fate is even worse than yours." Lucy sighed, resting her head on the wall.Maris sat up, remembering something her mother had told her when she was alive. She pulled off both her earrings and laid them in her palms. The earrings had the same symbol on her wrist and her mother's face flashed in her head."Whenever you're in trouble, cry to this or hold it and scream help." Her mother instructed, pinning the earrings to her ears. "And you'll be saved."Maris snapped back to reality and began to cry, feeling the root of bitterness in the depth
