HE KILLED HER

CHAPTER 5.

He killed her.

My body froze in shock, as I was suddenly being pulled away by some mighty hands. Swiftly, I was picked up like a piece of trash, and thrown into a large black van, which resembled an ambulance. 

Then, the journey began.

As I sat behind that van in darkness, the wave of uncertainty suddenly hit me. I slowly realized that I was long lost in a far away land that no one even knew my whereabouts. 

Aside from the exhaust sound of the van, I couldn't hear any other sound... Not even that of the guards, nor the supposed Alpha Kieran.

The journey continued until after about three long hours when the car came to a sudden halt. I was then pulled out of the car.

Standing in front of me was a black gigantic castle, which had a very bizarre sculpture at the front yard. Its surroundings looked scanty, like it was a ghost town. 

It was surrounded by long fences which stood above ten feet long, and had a pool which was bloodstained. The stench from the left hand side of the castle hit my heavily, that I turned and saw what resembled an abattoir. 

At the other end of the gigantic castle, just beneath the abattoir, I could see maids who were dressed in black clothes like funeral undertakers. They each scampered around with a firm and fearful gaze. 

"Untie her, and take her in!" I jolted back to reality, as Alpha Kieran's voice echoed throughout the secluded castle. 

Immediately, two young hybrids, who I supposed where in their early twenties, came running out. Coincidentally, they also wore black clothes. 

They helped me rise up to my feet, as they both led me towards into the castle. Just as I stepped into the castle, I was mesmerized by the exquisite luxury and beauty which engulfed me.

The chairs were designed with gold, while the walls were painted with expensive natural crude. 

"Who is she?" An evil looking elderly woman of about seventy five years, asked Alpha Kieran, as she looked at me with pure disgust and disdain. 

However, he didn't respond immediately, as he first walked over to the golden couch, and sat down. 

"I claimed her..." He mumbled.

"Nope...!" The woman screamed in fury. "You'd do no such thing."

"Well, I already did!"

Sitting on the ground while watching them yell at each other, was confusing to me.

Who was the woman to him?

Maybe, his mother, I think. 

Why was she yelling at him.

"Kieran... You dare not talk to me in that way!" She kept yelling. 

"I claimed her, she's mine, and there's nothing no one can do about it... Not even you..." He responded to her in a nonchalant tone.

Suddenly, the woman stood up from where she sat just opposite him, and immediately charged towards him in fury. In anger, she raised her hand to strike his face, but Alpha Kieran, caught her mid air.

"Don't!" He said to her sinisterly, but she didn't flinch. She ran back and picked up a knife to stab him, but Alpha Kieran, did the unthinkable. 

He brought out a dagger from the back of his pocket, and instantly began to stab her neck, until he completely mashed it.

I think I lost count after the seventh one. 

My body in sheer horror, as it was my first time of encountering such gruesome evil. I felt pale, like my stomach was about to rumple. 

"I warned you..." He kept yelling at her dead body, which was down on the pool of her own blood. "I warned you..." 

Alpha Kieran, continued to yell over and over again, like one who had been possessed by a strange spirit.

"Clean this mess up..." He said to none of the guards or maidens in particular. "Arrange her parts in the abattoir, while you refrigerate the rest."

With that, he proceeded to walk upstairs, but he turned back evilly, while piercing through my soul with his evil gaze.

"Take her to the virgin's room, and clean her." He mumbled, and turned his back. 

I heaved a temporary sigh of relief. If this was the man who had purchased me, then, he'd not think twice before ending me.

*****

The new room which was assigned to me, was just an embodiment of perfection. 

It was painted all white, and had all the designs that I had ever dreamed of. However, I was just there with a maiden, who had refused to say any word to me. 

She was dressing my wounds, and oiling my body. After we were done with that, I went into the bathroom, where she massaged my body with ancient drugs, and ointments. 

"My name is Rory." I gulped down a huge lump which had formed in my throat. "I was kidnapped, and sold in an auction to Alpha Kieran. What about you?" 

The maiden paused for a slight second, like she was studying me, and still kept mute. She looked like she had something to say, but I could also see fear in her eyes. 

"Ma'am... Urghs!" She breathed a long sigh of fear. "We're not allowed to speak here. My life is at great risk. If I'm caught, I'll be punished with death." She explained, and I froze.

At that instant, I could feel cold shivers running down my spine. 

"Who is he? Why are you here? Why am I here?" I asked in sheer panic and uncertainty. 

She paused for a slight second, and looked around the room like she was checking to see someone.

"My name is Akira, and I was sold to this man by my wicked stepmother. I've been dealing with living here with absolute carefulness, because I know that my next second isn't certain." She narrated.

"So, what does he do? Why does people fear him?" I asked. 

Her mood suddenly changed.

"Alpha Kieran, is the most evil and richest mortuary attendant. He kills, extract souls, imprisons spirits, and sells the bodies of his victims." She explained, and I gasped in shock. 

If that be the case, I was doomed.

"Then, why am I here?" I asked in fear.

"Sad to say that you might be the nex

t victim." She announced, and I gasped in fear.

Just then, the wall ripped open, and the worst happened.
