CHAPTER TWO

As I stood there, freezing to death, I only had on a breathable dress, then I remembered the dog door behind the house which entered in the corridor of the basement, I pulled him to the back and luckily, the dog door was bigger than I thought and his body would fit to squeeze through, I wrapped his cold body in the blanket, I passed half of his body through the dog door, squeezed it in, I carried my backpack, went to the door, opened it and entered, after I locked the door behind me, I turned and looked at the matron nun who was staring hard at me. I walked as if nothing had happened and when I got closer to her, I greeted her.

“Good evening Mother,” I said with my head bowed. I hoped she didn’t notice me struggling to keep my composure.

“Why are you, late child ?” She asked while looking at me like she was searching for something, perhaps a reaction.

“ I, I,” the words stuck in my throat. I fidgeted on the hem of my wet dress.

“ Get out of my sight, Go and repent of your dirty sins, little devil ” she grumbled as she struggled to get up from her seat and walked to her room, when she was finally out of sight, I then walked to the corridor opposite the basement, then to the dog door, grabbed the blanket and pulled it through the dog door, slowly to avoid being heard, then to the basement, I sighed in satisfaction, inside the dusty, dark, old basement, other inhabitants ran around immediately I walked in.

I mean the rats and cockroaches rambled to get away from the floor, the stench of rats' urine, dust, decaying timber, and the stench of forgotten filled my nostrils.

I slowly reached for the switch, the dim old light came on, the old dusty piano, wardrobe and everything not wanted feel into sight, cobwebs surrounding the whole place, except for my small bed which lay in the corner of the room, with my small bag of clothes on the corner of the bed, the old torn blanket covered the bed, even my efforts to clean this place were not enough. I turned and pulled the stranger to the bed, unwrapped the blanket away from his body, and laid him on the small bed. I covered him, collected some antibiotics from my bag which I had saved from the last time I was sick, crushed them, opened his gorgeous lips to a gorgeous pair of teeth, I picked warm water from the flask, from the kitchen, and cleaned his wounds, then made a warm water bottle using my old bottle for cramps treatment, finally placed it beside him in the blanket.

I felt tired, hungry, and sleepy all at once, but I couldn’t eat because the time for supper was already past, I collected some of the old clothes tossed in the basement, made a heap on the floor, and collapsed into them, slowly , I whisked away into an endless pile of sleep.

BACK AT AN UNKNOWN MANSION.

The familiar black rolls Royce pulled up in front of the house and the two men dressed in black tuxedoes came out, the unwavering number of soldiers surrounded them, one of the guards dressed in soldiers attire walked them inside the mansion, while inside, a lady finely dressed in red sat in the chair, smoking her cigar, her lips painted blood red, her aura cold that it lingered in the room, they walked in and bowed their heads.

“ Is he taken care of ?” She asked calmly as she pressed the cigar on the ashtray

“Yes ma’am,” their voices trembling.

“Now finally, my son can become the alpha,well done,leave, I will call you when I need you,” A sinister smile spread over her lips, they slowly walked out, hopped in the car, and drove away.

STRANGER’S POV.

Everything that had happened lingered on my mind, I slowly woke up to an old, dusty ceiling,is this hell? I thought, Had she finally succeeded in killing me?, Did the vaccine in my watch not work? The pile of questions roamed my mind, I scanned the whole room, the cramped room, dusty filled with tiny creatures moving around, I felt vivid anger instantly, did she decide to keep me prisoner in this old place, I looked at the light peering through the small window, the stench hit my nose, rotten card wood mixed with a slight smell of hair shampoo and perfume.

I then tried to get up but my whole body felt weak, painful, my head weak and drowsy, I turned to the floor to try to find the bathroom, I found a pile of clothes on the floor, slowly, I pulled myself up, gathered myself, stepped from the small bed to the floor, my legs touched the cold floor which almost jolted me back to bed.

Then something in the pile of clothes moved, I jolted back, and a small figure rose from the pile of clothes, her red hair curled on her head in a messy bun, her amber yellow almond eyes shone as the sun hit them like two golden gemstones under the sun, stared at me in confusion, her pale face, clearer as the sun fell on her skin, her pink blushed cheeks as thou she had rubbed red berries on them, her nose covered in small freckles, her small pink lips pounted in confusion, she looked effortlessly beautiful, her small hands brushed the curly hair into a neat bun, then her gaze fell on my body and never left, I wondered what was wrong with her. I felt confused.

She slowly raised her hands and pointed at me as if searching for something.

“Where are the wounds?” her small voice muttered with confusion evident in her eyes. That’s when I noticed it too, but this was unexplainable,she slowly got up, walked closer to me, her small satin dress curved out her petite body slightly, her perched breasts on her broad shoulders fell into my gaze as she leaned closer to examine my body. Her small fingers caressed my body sent shivers to my spine, I felt ashamed, my face burn with guilt immediately she noticed my boner, of course I was just from bed, the chemistry that happens early in the morning in a man’s life, you all know, she pulled back and stood up, then I caught her rather tempting figure, I stared and she noticed. I felt awkward and embarrassed at that moment.
