3 CHAPTER 3: ARE YOU CRAZY?

I was still in his arms, confused, dumbstruck, paralyzed, I couldn't move I couldn't think, what was he saying?

His words were repeating in my head 'I found you, finally'... finally? Was he searching for me or... someone else?

I couldn't handle all the pressure and stress; I felt the washroom becoming a blur and within seconds I fainted all I could feel was the strong arms holding me and carrying me further.

__________________

I am in a field, an open field, running, as fast as my feet can carry me, I can feel myself getting tired and all the energy of my body draining.

Slowly everything in front of me becomes a blur and I fall down.

I wake up!

Panting, sweating.

I take a moment to check my surroundings, I am in my room, somewhat I felt safe, but it took me a moment to realize that someone else is in my room too.

"Hey!" I shouted; at this point I was pissed off.

"Hey." He looked at me, oblivious to my anger.

"How are you?" he asked.

"I... what are you doing in my room and what happened how did I reach here?" I asked oblivious to his question just like he was to mine. I am also stubborn.

At this moment there was sadness filled in his voice and his eyes were low.

"Do you not remember me?" He asked. How am I supposed to remember him when I don't even know him? I am confused.

As if reading my mind, he answered,

"Don't be confused I will tell you everything...and yes I did read your mind."

Wait, what? How?

He sighed, "You are my soulmate."

What?

"yes, you are my soul mate- the one made for me, haven't you read about soulmates?"

Finally, I muster the courage to speak.

"Are you crazy?"

He sighed again, what's with him and sighing at everything I say?

"Dahlia, you and I are meant to be we are soul..."

I cut him "I heard you the first time but who are you and how do you know that I am your soul mate are you playing a prank on me where are the cameras?"

I couldn't believe my eyes and ears there is some handsome guy on my bed in my room and claiming me as his soul mate is this guy for real?

"Yes Dahlia, I am for real, very real and wait...did you just say I am handsome?"

"That's not the point uh..."

"Zayden."

"Yes Zayden, why are you in my room?"

"Well since you are my soul mate, I have come to take you to my...uh...palace."

"Your what!" I shouted.

"Shush, don't shout you will wake the entire neighbourhood"

I remembered the aunties does he know about the aunties for a second, I thought about shouting and making a scene so that he would be arrested and kept in the mental asylum but I decide against that.

"I am not going with you." Is all I say.

He sighed again; I swear if he sighs again, I'm going to strangle him to death.

"Lia, I am not from any mental asylum can't you see how I look and the way I am speaking do I look some crazy guy? Am I wearing something different that makes me look crazy?"

I took my time looking at him and observing him, he was right he looked like a business person, but all he wore was black that was strange but it matched his complexion – fair body. His voice was also deep and manly and he had that different accent which would bring any girl to his feet begging for attention but no! I am not that girl.

Dahlia comes to your senses.

He had muscles which were damn... woah I haven't seen anyone like this before.

"hmm...checking me out, I like that."

I scoffed. "No, I'm not."

I said that but my face said something different as my cheeks were flushed.

"It's ok Lia, once we get married and stay together you can check me out whenever you want. Also, no girl will ever look at me then."

I looked to the side my cheeks flushed, wait! What did he just say?

"Yes Lia, we are going to get married."

"I heard you Zayden but that's not possible I'm just 17 years old and my birthday is 12 days away. And why would I marry you I barely know you."

"Well it's legal for my government or for you we can wait till you become 18."

"Well what stupid government is this?"

"The underworld government."

What!

"Yes Lia."

Ugh! Why can you read my thoughts?

"Oh, I am so sorry I will explain everything to you. Let me introduce myself."

He stood up and I could see his muscles flex and he was tall, taller than Mason too.

His jaw clenched.

Why?

"I don't like you talking about that boy, do you know he is in love with you?"

"What! that's not possible, we are just best friends." I was shocked mason and I have been best friends since forever, I know 6th grade but that seems forever.

"Ok forget it."

He came closer to me and I immediately stood up.

"Hey Dahlia!" He said in a funny voice. I guess out of nervousness.

Are you serious this guy and nervous woah!

I was going to laugh but I stopped I tried keeping my face as serious as possible.

"Hello, Dahlia Marino, I am Zayden Eastwood, from Mecca, the underworld. I also happen to be the prince of The Underworld and you are my princess, my soulmate and soon we shall be married and turn into king and queen of The Underworld. My dad is Mr. Zion Eastwood the current king of the underworld and my mom Mrs. Zabrina Eastwood, the current Queen of T.U. I have a sister named Zarina the princess of T.U."

He said in a very royal way which was actually .... attractive? I do not know.

I was speechless, he took a Tab out from his pocket and showed me their pictures one by one as in they were paintings of them. I wonder why? I also got to see a glimpse of The Underworld. The queen was seated on a throne and beside her was her husband I suppose the King. Their thrones were beautiful and intimidating. He then showed me a painting of him and his sister Zarina to show that they were actually beautiful she looked 12 years old and had an innocent face just like her brothers.

"So are y'all like mafia types and deal with guns and drugs?"

"No, no we are dangerous than that."

At this point I was scared. I don't know what to do my instincts told me to run but where would I go?

"Don't even think about it Love."

Love?

"Yes, you are my love."

"No, I'm not."

"We'll see that later but do you believe me now?"

I just nodded my head.

"Good now let's go." He grabbed my arms and started pulling me.

"Wait you didn't tell me who you actually are."

He turned looking straight at me, there was fear in his eyes, I was confused and what he answered next left me screaming for my life.

"A vampire."
