Chapter 11: A mysterious injured young man.

I was walking in the great hallway when thunder and lightning were echoing the house. The rain was tapping on the window that was completely shut. It looked like a movie for me, a dark academic classical novel. I felt more than secure in these hallways that were decorated with old paintings and sculptures which I walked in every day, and every hour. The chandeliers were moving slowly, their light was warm enough to light up the emptiness in the hallway.

The servants were standing next to each other like soldiers at the corner of the hall, they had their heads up high, bowing to me as I walked. The doorbell rang, and it opened wide, as a young man collapsed in front of me. I rushed to help him as he was lying unconsciously on the floor.

"Hey, are you okay?" I asked, holding him. His body was cold, and he was shivering. His blond hairs were wet, and his button-up shirt was wet and bloody. As I was looking at him, his pale skin, and, his mesmerizing eyes. He suddenly opened his eyes, leaving me shocked on the floor. His green eyes had a tint of red in them. Suddenly, he grabbed my neck, pushing me on the floor. He was on top of me. I kept struggling to break free. I couldn't, he was way stronger than me.

"Your, killing me. Leave me alone" I asked. My voice was shivering.

"HELP. SOMEONE HELP" I screamed. the next thing I see is Lucas getting him off me. He threw him to the wall and carried me. I was choking when he hugged me tightly. I looked at him as he took care of me.

"Hey, are you okay?" He asked. I looked at him, trying to catch my breath when our eyes met. He leaned closer as I closed my eyes, and our lips touched. it was the softest and, I felt butterflies all over my body. He checked my temperature and carried me.

"I can walk by myself babe," I said, but he didn't put me down.

"No, I'm gonna bring you to your room myself," he said as he walked away.

"Guards, take him to the dungeon" he ordered and took me to my room. After some time, we were both in bed, cuddling each other.

it was midnight when I felt Lucas sitting on the bed. I woke up, as I saw his hand covering his face.

"Babe, are you okay?" I asked my hand over his shoulder.

"did, did I woke you up?" he asked me. I looked at him, confused. His shirt was covered in sweats and he looked scared. I grabbed his hand and looked at his face.

"Gosh, your face is red, let me bring you some water," I said and ran to the kitchen. As I arrived, I saw my best friend sitting in the kitchen by herself. She was looking at her phone all along and stared at me. She looked at me and smiled.

"Can't sleep huh?" she asked.

"Lucas had a nightmare, so, I gotta bring him some water, it'll help," I said while opening the fridge. I took out a big bottle of water and a glass and headed to my room. He was looking pale; I sat down next to him and handed him the glass of water.

"Thank you," he said as he drank and put it on the small table next to him.

"Are you okay?" I asked him as I took his hand. He looked at me and told me that he thought that I was in danger, he said that he got scared and that he didn't want to lose me. Time passed, and we sat in the room talking together. I've never felt this close to him like I've known him for a very long time.
