The Bride of Chrysalis

chapter 3

OK" Thomas says "let's just head back to my house. I need time to think" Without another word he walks off. Aurora then looks at me.

"Come one Dawn, Thoma's house is right around the corner" She says before following Thomas.

I follow behind her and Damien follows suit. It's only now while I'm walking that I'm able to take in just how beautiful the forest is. I could almost feel the life in everything around me. I was surrounded by beautiful greens that ranged from this stunning deep green color to an almost glowing bright green color. Everything is covered in a light layer of dew that makes it look as if it were sparkling. It is stunning and not just that. The air is so fresh and clean. It almostfeels as if all the bad stuff in my lungs are being filtered out by this fresh crisp air. We eventually come to a clearing in the mass of trees and my jaw drops at the sight before me. This house is stunning. It is just so unique and in one of the best locations possible. We walk up the stone pathway towards Thomas who is waiting for us on the porch. He then opens the front door but waits for Aurora and Damien to enter first. I follow along behind them into the house and just as I enter the front door I feel someone grab my arm. I look up to see that it is Thomas but he is not looking at me. He is looking in the direction of Damien and Aurora.

"I will meet you both in the study"

Thomas states over his shoulder. I watch as the other two make their way down the hall opposite to the one I'm dragged down. He keeps a firm grip on my arm as he walks me down the hall. We eventually reach a set of double doors which he slams open before finally letting go of my arm .I look around at the room he has taken me to. It looks to be what I can only assume is the living room. I can't help but be in awe of the beauty of the room. It's a combination of both modern and vintage decor. The room is made up of shades of black,grey,nude and midnight blue. There is also a vintage fireplace that seemed to be the centerpiece of the room. It was just stunning. I can see that whoever owned this house for sure had a lot of money. I flinch a little when he suddenly speaks up.

"Stay here" he orders before turning around and slamming the doors close behind himself.

A second later I hear a click and realize it is the sound of the doors being locked. I felt glued to my spot as I stood there, staring blankly at the door. I listen to his footsteps get fainter and fainter as he walks away.

Thomas POV

I enter the library and head straight towards the desk before leaning against it. I could feel Damien and Aurora looking at me. I knew they were waiting for me to speak first. I try to ignore them as I think about what to do. I mean I can't just let this poor girl get killed. As hard as it is to admit it, it is my fault she is stuck here. How could I let this happen? I have never made such a big mistake. I don't understand how I let things go so wrong.

"Damn it" I say out loud. "Well now what, I can't just let her be killed"

Yes I've killed people myself but I don't kill without a good reason. Even though technically I wouldn't be the one killing Dawn myself, her blood will still be on my hands. She is young, she still has her whole life ahead of her. I look over at Damien who I see is facing the ground and laughing to himself.

"Can you please share with me whatever it is you find is so funny Damien" He looks up at me with a big grin on his face before replying.

"Are you joking the Thomas Heisenberg just made a mistake. I never thought would live to see the day"

His remark did not annoy me. He is like a brother to me just like Aurora is like a sister to me. I was used to Damien pulling my leg. Don't get me wrong, he is an excellent fighter. He is also the most stealthy person I know but he does have a tendency to make silly mistakes. So it's no surprise to me that he is loving this.

"Yes haha very funny but seriously what are we going to do"Aurora speaks up then

"I have no idea as to what we should do but what I do know is we should probably explain to Dawn what is going on. I think you locking her in the living room just may have given her the wrong impression".

She has a slight smile on her face as she says this and I can't help but grin at her remark.
