Natasha's POV:
Natasha felt her head pounding as she woke up. What the heck had happened? How long had she been out? She slowly opened her eyes and only saw darkness with a little spotlight not too far away. Everything was so blurry! She rubbed her eyes and slowly started to see things clearly. She sat up slightly and saw that she was in a basement or dungeon of some sort. The walls are made of stone blocks and the floor is solid rock too. The light from earlier, she now saw was a lit torch on the wall. She shivered and glanced around the room and found something she missed the first time she looked around. There was something in the corner of the room.
She squinted her eyes but couldn't make out the dark image in the corner. She slowly and cautiously crawled towards the corner. As she's getting closer she noticed that the thing in the corner was of pretty big size. The size of a man. She gasped when the figure moved and she saw red eyes on her. "Back away" it hissed. She scrambled to get as far away from the thing as she could. She watched the thing breathe heavily. "You've been out for about a week. We've been down here for about a week. You've been fed. I have not" the gruff voice of the figure spoke.
The figure moved more towards the torch and Natasha's eyes widened when she noticed a wild looking Emen. His eyes were fully red and his moves were jerky and crazed. "He comes down every day you know. Waiting for you to wake up and for you to tell him that you'll marry him" Emen told her, but it sounded more like he was talking to himself. "I told myself the very first night you got here that I wouldn't drink from you but it's becoming so hard" he whispered to the point where he could barely hear him.
"I don't think I can hold off much longer. When he comes down you need to marry him. I'll kill you if you don't" He told her. She looked at him in disbelief. "I will not marry him. I'd rather you drink me dry then marry a monster like him" she snapped at him. "I'm not going to argue with you. You are going to marry him. I can't kill you. I won't" Emen told her. If vampires could cry he would at that moment. "I don't mean anything to you" she yelled at him. "I love you" he cried out. She was shocked into silence. She slowly started to walk towards him but he yelled at her to stay back and backed away from her.
She watched him through sad eyes as he tried to desperately find an escape. There was none. He crumpled to the ground and watched hopelessly as his body shuddered over and over again. She felt her breath catch when she heard the creaking of a door open. Her eyes widened as she turned around and to her horror, Sam was standing at the door of their cell. "He needs blood" she told him. "I know that, you know that, and he knows that. To get the blood though, you need to marry me" Sam smirked at her. "You're a monster" she spat at him. He grinned at her like it didn't bother him at all. "Come with me and he'll get blood" he tempted her. She looked back at Emen and closed her eyes.
"If you loved me Emen. Then why would just let me go off and marry him" she whispered as her eyes filled with tears. Emen glanced up for the first time since he started trembling. "I'd rather see you marry him and live then to watch you die because of me" Emen told her. "I couldn't live with knowing that I killed you" Emen admitted. Natasha closed her eyes when Sam started laughing. "This isn't some television show. Either you come with me or you stay down here" Sam told her holding out his hand for her. "On two conditions and I'll go with you and marry you" Natasha told him as she looked up into Sam's eyes. "One, you have to give him enough blood so he can go back to normal. Two, you have to let him go" Natasha told him. Sam smirked and looked at her. "I'll agree to the first one but I won't let him go. I can't. you might take it back if I let him go. I'll changed your second condition though. I'll let him go after we're married" Sam told her. "How do I know you aren't lying" Natasha asked him. "You don't. But this is the only chance you have right now" Sam told her with a shrug.
Natasha looked back at Emen who was now shaking furiously. "Fine. I'll do it. If I can add just one more condition" Natasha told him. "What's that" Sam asked her getting irritated at all of the conditions. "I'm able to see him at least once every day for an hour. Alone" she told him. Sam looked at her like she was crazy and was about to refuse but she held up one hand. "If you don't agree then I will decline all together. I don't care if I die" Natasha told him. Sam sighed frustrated but nodded still holding out his hand. "I'll do it" She whispered. And as a guard threw two girls into the cage that Emen is in as the guard locked the door behind them she heard the screams of the two girls as the big bad wolf led the innocent girl to its den. The only thoughts she could think about at that moment was the fact that she was doing this for Emen. Even if she didn't understand why she was doing it for him.
