CHAPTER 02

EVE'S POV:-

I was curious to know who was at the door. I tried to go after Justin but Calvin stopped me. I sighed and huffed in anger. I sat on the chair near me and crossed my arms above my chest. "Now as I have paid you, she is a slave for our Master Adrian from now on" I heard that voice that sent chills to my spine. I hopped off of the chair and looked if my mind was playing games with me. I wished it would be a sick game of my stupid mind. But it was something I had never expected in my life. It was Master Salvador Cerberus.

It felt like my soul left my body for a minute. I wished it would have happened. Death was better than being a slave for Master Adrian Cerberus. He was my worst nightmare. All my life I had prayed to God to never let me cross paths with Master Adrian Cerberus. But looks like even God did not like me. God sent Master Salvador into my house so I could be Master Adrian's slave. I just learned that my brothers sold me. I did not know what I did that made them hate me this much. Everyone knew Master Adrian and what he did to all his slaves. 

Justin came to me and grabbed my hand. "Justin, no please, I beg you. Don't do this to me. Kick me out of this house or kill me but please don't do this to me." I started sobbing hard and Justin started pulling me towards the door. I tried to beg him. I even held his foot not to do that but he did not listen to me. He dragged me towards the door and threw me in Master Salvador's feet.

"Justin please, I never did anything to you. Please don't do this to me." I begged him but in front of me, he opened the bag that was filled with gold coins. They all sat on the ground and started dividing it between while I was still in Master Salvador's feet. A vampire came and grabbed a fist full of my hair. He did not pull me up but dragged me towards the cart. He threw me in and then the Master also stepped into the cart. Master Salvador signalled the other vamp and he bowed his head. He shut the door and the cart started moving.

Master Salvador did not even look at me. He took her a seat and opened a book. I laid there, in his feet and kept sobbing. My life was hell ever since I was born and whatever my brothers had done to earn money, they made it even harder. It was not my fault that I was born with hybrid powers. I never knew why my parents then my brothers punished me for something I did not do at all. I only asked one thing from God, to never let me cross paths with Master Adrian but here I was. I would be his slave and just that idea was enough for me to shake in fear. I did not know when, but I fell asleep while sobbing.

I felt someone patting my head. I opened my eyes and sat up abruptly on the dusty ground. "Wait what? Dusty ground, I remember being lying in Master Salvador's feet." I thought to myself and looked around. I gasped loudly as I found the one who was patting my head. My shock changed into joy and I wrapped my arms around his neck. It was death who woke me up. And I was happy that finally my God listened to me. He decided to take my life before Master Adrian would make my life worse than death.

He slowly broke the hug and cupped my face with one of his hands. "I can not believe, how can they be so cruel with an innocent butterfly like you? Your pure flowing tears and your dark as grave eyes make me shiver. How could someone be so cruel with an innocent bunny? How could they, when it was not your fault?" He said while wiping my tears with the pad of his thumb. I sniffed and started sobbing again. I hugged him again and cried my heart out.

"That is what I have been asking them. To tell me what I did? Why do they think death will not be a punishment for me? But at least, God heard my prayers. I will be dead and no one will ever hurt me again. Tell me, you are here to take me away? Tell me, you are here to kill me? Tell me, this is the end of my painful life? I just can not take it anymore. Just tell me the good news god has sent for me." I asked him in a hopeful tone. Yes, hope! Life was hope for the whole universe but for me, death was my hope.

Hearing my begs, he broke the hug and stood up. I frowned and tried to get up. Only then I noticed that my ankles were chained with the ground. I gave him a pleading look and he turned around so he would not have to face me. "Please, tell me you are here to take me away. Even if you want to throw me to hell, I will not argue. I will be happy in hell as well but don't leave me here." I begged him while I hugged the ground.

"My innocent little bunny, I am afraid I can not give you whatever you want. You have a life here and you have to live in this world until your time will come for the next life. I am sorry my bunny, I can not take you, even if it is God's permission. I just came here to tell you, don't give up. Be strong, my bunny. I know you can not take it anymore. I know it pains you like hell. I know your life is not hope for you but your death. But you have to stay here until your time will come." He said and I started sobbing hard.

He said he understands but actually, he knew nothing. I sat up on the dusty ground and wiped my tears. I giggled looking at him. Then I looked at the sky and started laughing hysterically. I was laughing at myself and my destiny. That contained nothing but darkness and pains. He frowned as he saw me laughing like a crazy person. I was not crazy, I was just hopeless. I could not help but laugh at my life.

"I can not believe it. I was bathing in my bloody tears. Then I prayed to end my life. What I got? Death came to me, making fun of my already painful life. What you wanted to see? Did you come here so you can laugh at me? Come on, join me, laugh at me. That was the reason why I was born. I just don't know why I was given a heart in my chest? It should have been a rock, so I would not feel anything. Am I that bad?" I asked him with my shaky voice. He came to me and sat beside me. This time, he was the one who pulled me into a hug. I did not know why but I felt safe with him, maybe because of my hell of a life.

"You are not bad, my little bunny. It's just… you don't belong here. I wish I could do something to ease your pain. I wish I could do something to make you feel better. I wish I could see your smile, your beautiful smile. But I am as helpless as you are. That is why I came here to tell you to be strong. Keep one thing in your mind, they can hurt you as much as they would like, but in the end you will be free. You just have to wait for that day. You have to be strong by then, my little bunny." He whispered in my ear but it felt like he was singing a lullaby for me. I closed my eyes and for the first time in my life, I slept carelessly.
