Hi everyone, sorry for the super long wait. I'll try to upload it faster next time, but now its final exam week and I have to go to Houston to get a Spanish visa and its been difficult trying to contact them. Please R&R. :)
With a great gulp of air, I felt my eyes pop open in shock, feeling a dull ache along my body. I must have fallen pretty hard. Before I could even move something sharp pressed into my throat cutting the skin and causing blood the well up under it. I swallowed dryly sucking in air, but that only caused the blade to go deeper and more blood to bead up. I felt flight or fight rush through me, but was dominated by the fear of the blade and I remained completely frozen. I've never felt my mind be overtaken so completely by fear that it wouldn't commute a plan of action.
My eyes took a couple blinks before adjusting to the reddish light caused by torches. I wasn't able to move my head to look down where my throat was under pressure or see past the torches lining the sides of the room. I couldn't even see where the ceiling met the walls because the darkness only increases the higher I tried to look up.
With trepidation, my eyes caught onto the blade higher up from my neck and followed it up to the arm that was holding until I finally found the owners face towering above me. I choked back a cream of panic as my sudden jerk of terror caused the blade to cut even deeper. eyes locked onto mine and he spoke harshly, pretty sure it was a he, in a terribly grating language and my eyes tried to look around as a softer voice responded back in that unfortunately horrid language.
A golden god, that's all I could think to describe despite having a faintish red tint or glow about him, strode into my line of sight. He had the straightest hair I've ever seen flowing down his back in a rich reddish gold color and he put slim fingers under the sword and slowly lifted it off of my neck. I let out a breath of relief and the one with red eyes let out a faint snort of displeasure, but sheathed his sword.
I stayed where I was on the floor not daring to move with my eyes firmly trained onto red eyes and shivering in faint discomfort at the gaze of interest the golden one was leveling on me. The golden one approached me and spoke in a different language, a wayyyyy prettier one to listen to, but at my confused gaze tried yet another one, even more pretty and almost sounding like a song. I cocked my head sideways on the floor in confusion and felt my heart nearly stop in terror as one side of his mouth curled up into what seemed a terribly threatening, to me at least, smirk.
A scream erupted out of me as red eyes had darted back, faster than anyone should ever have a right to move, and lifted me up by my throat. I kicked at him as he was exceptionally tall, even to my pretty tall height, but couldn't make contact and tried prying his fingers off of my throat to literally zero effect. I felt tears prick my eyes was my vision wavered black and felt my body shutting down.
A deep commanding voice resonating with power, enough to catch even my fading attention, spoke authoritatively and I felt Red eyes let go. I collapsed back to the ground in too much pain and confusion to even try and stop myself from falling. I felt tears roll out and quickly raised up my arm to wipe them away so I didn't appear too weak. I peeked up through my arm to where the voice had resonated from and strangely enough it still seemed like the room was resonating power just from those words.
I felt myself get entranced with such spectacular beauty that I've never before seen in my life. It was like pure light, purer than sunlight in some way, shining through both white and colorful. There is almost no way for me to even begin to describe how it pulled my attention and kept it there. Three of them, all set into a crown of pure black metal, steel or something I guess because I don't know metals but what does it matter with those three things as decoration. They would look good on anything I'm sure.
With serious effort I brought my attention to the matter at hand and followed hair so black that it seemed to absorb the light of the room to a pair of eyes. Utter evil and malevolence emanated from those eyes and I couldn't break my gaze away as a sudden intrusion and blinding pain hit my head like a train. My body wouldn't even obey my commands an as I sat with gazes locked, I saw visions of my life and past flash through me very quickly. I knew he was watching them too and it made me furious and tremble, but I couldn't stop him. Curiosity and fascination came to me through our locked gazes and some visions floated clearer than other, like riding a bike for the first time and flying on an airplane.
I never have felt such malice, but the curiosity seemed to keep it away from destruction. I felt my mind and gaze released, but not even a second of relief was afforded to me as I felt myself being lifted up to my feet. I stood, swaying listlessly with Goldy's hand clasped the back of my dress keeping me from falling over. I felt a vague shiver of surprise worm itself through me as I became aware that red eyes had black hair, not quite as deep black as the magic rock dude, with horns curling up from the sides. I briefly considered if I was in hell, but my mind, and gaze, somehow ended back up to the gems. The three of them began conversing as I stayed my gently wavering form upright with assistance.
Snapping fingers in front of my face drew my mind back to my current reality. Goldy put his fingers under my chin and tilted my face up towards and studied in closely. I tried to pull my head away, but he tightened his fingers up around my cheeks so I wasn't able to pull away.
"let go of me" I demanded in English and he tilted almost imperceptibly to the right in a considering look. He obviously was unfamiliar with English. "Lessei-moi" I tried again in French which was the language I had studied all throughout high school and was currently taking classes in. His gaze intensified and he spoke rapidly, but red eyes quickly interrupted much to goldy's displeasure as I saw his gaze darken infinitesimally in displeasure.
He released my cheeks and I backed away quickly, but managed to bump into red eyes. I paid for that mistake dearly as I felt him fling me away. I practically flew across the room slamming heavily into the wall. I tried to catch myself with my hands but as my first palm connected I heard a terrible crack echo in the room.
As I struggled to get up blinding pain jolted up my arm like lightning and I couldn't help myself this time. Tears poured out of me and sobs erupted as I tried to reign them in and gently cradle my arm. I could hear Red eyes and Goldy seemingly argue in distance as my tear blurred gaze latched upon my slightly bent wrongly wrist. It was swelling up pretty bad and even feather light probes from me were causing pain to continuously accompany to ache running up my arm.
The mind readers voice managed to grab my attention again as power resonated around the room from it and I looked up still sniffling to the three of them. Goldy gave a terrifying smile in my direction and flicked his fingers at me in a "come here" gesture. I swallowed thickly through the tears, but found myself both too scared to move and too scared not to so I only managed to rise up and then just stayed still. His smile went down a fraction and I felt my heart, yet again, tremble in terror as I thought to myself that my first impression of him being a golden god was totally wrong with such dread radiating from him.
I cowered back in dread at his strode toward me not making any sound upon the floor despite how tall he was. He made a tsking sound and stopped in front of me gently running his fingers down my hair and catching a piece to rub between his fingers. I pulled it away, but he only looked amused and without warning had lifted me up into his arms. He was radiating a lot of warmth and I found myself blinking blearily, after a moment of tensing up as my gaze caught on red eyes and gaze a smile of sharp teeth, and fell into darkness.
