The Devil's Daughter

8

I quickly put the photo back in the box and hide it under the pillow in the cot. I wipe my eyes and take a few deep breaths. Who are the people in this photo? Who's house was this? And where the hell am I? I'm not anywhere normal thats for sure. I can now hear voices coming from down stairs.

I try not to make any noise as I head to the wardrobe to try and hide. I can't make out what they are saying but they seem to be getting closer and I hear footsteps up the stairs as I make it into the wardrobe.

Then I hear one of them say

"Come out, come out, where ever you are. We won't hurt you princess we just want to talk." The depth and tone of his voice and the way he says it. I know they will hurt me.

"Where is she? She has to be here somewhere." says another voice.

"I know that Tony you i***t. I'm trying to be friendly so she will come out by herself."

"Well I don't think it's working Sam. Maybe King Anon should be doing this himself. He is her father maybe she would come out for him."

"We are his guards for a reason. We do his dirty work remember? He can't touch her remember? That stupid b***h Sophia put some kind of spell on her so he can't see her." The one called Sam says.

Who are these men? Guards? A king? I am so dead and in hell this definitely isn't heaven I don't know why I thought I would ever get anything nice in my life. Why would the after life be any different. I peek out the hole in the wardrobe to see them head toward the main bedroom while Sam kept calling out.

"Princess Charlotte we know you are here. Just make this easier on your self. We have called for your father he will be here shortly. There is nowhere to hide from us. You might be hiding your scent but we know you're here we all felt your presence."

I try to hide further in the wardrobe. If that was even possible. I close my eyes take deep breaths and pray, not that it would do any good I am already in hell. But you never know.

"Please, please someone help me. I didn't do anything to deserve this hell. I'm a good girl. I didn't mean to start any fires, I didn't mean to hurt anyone, i don't even know how it happened. Please. I want to go home."

I hear alot of loud growling noises and yelling from downstairs.

"WHERE IS SHE? HOW DARE YOU CALL ME WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE HER. I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME TILL YOU FOUND HER."

"We... we... we are sorry my King. She is here but we can't scent her anywhere in the house. The floor boards in the main bedroom have been lifted but we can't find her."

"YOU ARE ALL USELESS. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY I KEEP YOU AROUND."

This must be King Anon. He doesnt sound happy. No way in hell am I coming out now. Not that I was in the first place.

I hear them coming up the stairs. I peek back through the hole to see them stop in the door way. The man at front I'm assuming is the one they call King. He fills out the door way he needs to bend to fit through. His shoulders hit the door frame and he needs to step through sideways. He has short dark brown hair, black eyes. I've never seen anything like them in my life. I can't see the other two behind him yet I hope I don't.

I get a flash of purple eyes in my mind. He said he would always protect me where is he now?

"Drake won't save you this time princess. I'm guessing your hiding in the wardrobe? I'm coming to get you my dear daughter. There is nowhere for you to hide. I will find you eventually my dear. Did you check the wardrobe you idiots?"

"Um....um no?"

My heart starts racing at the thought of them ripping the door open and pulling me out.

I start to panic. I picture those purple eyes that always made me feel safe. Then I start chanting the name Drake. I hope that's purple eyes. Please let it be purple eyes.

As soon as the wardrobe is ripped open I scream drakes name. Seeing three huge scary looking men with scares over their arms and face. Three pairs of pitch black eyes staring ready to grab me.

Then it all goes dark
