3 Beautiful Angel

"Wait! Where are you going?" Sabrina asked him.

"I will wash away the blood from my hands," he said and walked away.

Sabrina followed him to the deepest part of the cave. There were torches in every corner of the cave.

They walked in the passages for a few minutes.

She saw a small body of stream a few meters away.

The guy reached the stream and lowered himself on the ground, washing his hands on the water.

Sabrina glared at him. "Did you do it on purpose?"

He looked at her. "What-?"

Sabrina pointed at the cut on his hands. "The blood on your hands. You cut yourself so that I will enter the cave?" she asked angrily.

The guy nodded his head and sighed deeply. "That's right. Since I can't leave this cave no matter how I tried, I might as well have a company to keep me going through the lonely days," he said and winked at her.

"I don't wan't to stay here with you! I want to go home!" Sabrina exclaimed.

He took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, you and I can never leave this cave. You can enter but you can never get out. That's the way it is. That's what the witch told me before she left me here to suffer for the rest of my life. So, get used to it from now on," he said calmly.

Sabrina was horrified. She can't accept that she can no longer leave this place for the rest of her life. She needs to return to the hut because Grandma Azere is waiting for her. She set aside her anger. "Y-you have to help me get out of this cave. Please?" she pleaded. Maybe he can help her.

The guy looked at her and saw the tears in her eyes. For a moment, he felt guilty for tricking her in coming to the cave. "What's your name?"

"Sabrina, and yours?" she asked.

"My name is Rhett and I'm part human and part wolf," he explained.

Sabrina's eyes widened in fright, fear leaping from her eyes. "Whaaat-? You're a wolf?"

"Yeah, and I'm human too! There's nothing to fear, I don't eat humans especially beautiful girls like you," he grinned.

Sabrina lowered herself on the rock and began sobbing hard.

Rhett groaned. Eh? What now? How to pacify the crying woman?

"Stop crying, I didn't do anything bad to you," he said in a frustrated manner, running his hands on his messy hair.

"You tricked me!" she accused him between sobs.

Rhett shrugged and took a deep breath. "Follow me. I will bring you to the chamber where you can take a rest," he said and walked away.

Afraid of being left behind, Sabrina followed him.

They walked in the passages for a few minutes and arrived at a chamber.

There's no wooden bed on the dry ground, only a bed of hay covered with a thick blanket made of wool.

"Here is my chamber, you will share it with me starting today," he said.

"No way! I'm not going to sleep in your bed!" Sabrina yelled at him.

Rhett shrugged. "This is the safest chamber that I have found all over the cave. Some chamber will get filled with water if there is a heavy rain. This is the only one elevated from the ground. I can't guarantee your safety if you sleep on the other chamber because there are deadly scorpions residing in the cave and they love hiding in the wet ground. You will die if you are bitten by the poisonous scorpions," he explained.

Based on the guy's explanation, Sabrina has no choice, she can't die here inside the cave. She must find a way to get out of this place. She lowered herself on the makeshift bed.

"Wait here and don't leave the chamber without me. You don't know this cave well, you might find yourself in danger if you explore on your own. I'll get our food from the entrance," Rhett said.

Sabrina ignored him.

Rhett left the chamber, heading towards the mouth of the cave.

When he arrived there, he picked up the garment from the ground and draped it over his arm, it can allow him to extend his arm outside the cave and get the basket from the rock. He can't stay outside the cave for a few minutes, the invisible spell will kill him. He tried it several times in the past, and the result is the same.

The moment he will leave the cave, the invisible spell will choke him, and he will have a hard time breathing, killing him in the process.

He grabbed the basket at lightning speed and went back to the chamber. He found the girl lying on the bed in a fetal position. She's still crying hard.

"Beauty, let's eat!" he said.

Sabrina didn't reply.

He put the food on the table and began eating. "Did you cook this food?"

Sabrina nods her head.

"Thank you, you're such a good cook. Your dishes taste delicious!" he said, praising her cooking skill.

Sabrina was deeply annoyed and upset at the guy. She stopped crying and sit upright. She stared at him. Waiting for him to finish eating his food. She had to ask him a lot of questions.

A few minutes later, he finished eating.

"Why the witch cursed you and imprisoned you in this cave?" she asked.

Rhett smiled. "It's a long story. I'll answer that question only if..."

"If... what-?" Sabrina asked.

Rhett smirked. "If you start trusting me, then I will start trusting you and I will tell you everything..."

Sabrina pouted. Grrrrr... So much for asking!

She looked at the table, there was clay cutlery above it. "You brought those things here?" she inquired.

Rhett shook his head. "No. When I came here, those things are already here. It probably belong to the previous occupants of this cave," he answered. "If you want to use the toilet or you want to take a bath just inform me. I'll show you the way," he offered.

"Okay," Sabrina said with a nod of her head. She lies down on the makeshift bed and closes her eyes.

Rhett stared at the girl, her back facing him. He grabbed his blanket and wrapped it around her.

Honestly, he's happy with her presence inside the cave. It's the first time that he had a proper conversation with a fellow human being after a long time of imprisonment in the cave.

Sabrina is his beautiful angel fallen from heaven. Her physical feature is just perfect for him. She had long wavy black hair cascading on her back, a round face, brown eyes, a slim body, and she was medium in height.

He had seen her a few times before outside the cave, and each time he saw her, she's growing into a beautiful woman, he was captivated by her beauty.

Until one day, he finally decided that he needs someone like her inside the cave.

Especially when he remembered what the witch told him before...

The witch told him that the curse she put on him can only be lifted once a beautiful virgin maiden will enter the cave and share a kiss with him willingly, that will be the time he can finally leave the cave, but on one condition. The girl can not leave the cave, and her face will turn ugly. She will become the sacrificial lamb, his replacement inside the cave.

Since he'd already chosen this girl, it looks like she's bound to him for life.

The witch also told him if he and the girl will kiss again in the future, the curse on the girl will disappear.

Should he believe the witch's words?

Why not? He can try it. Since the girl is already inside the cave, nothing to lose!

It's either he will try to gain his freedom back or do nothing at all.

But one thing is for sure, he will take care of this girl. He will be responsible for her from now on.

Wherever he is, he will keep her by his side. Even if... he will find his Luna one day.
