Chapter 2 He almost killed her!

Alex's P.O.V

I stared at her through the mask as she opened her mouth wide in shock as a result of what I said. She still looked very scared though she was trying really hard to hide it. I felt my manhood slightly rise up in anticipation when I remembered changing her dress the previous night. "Fuck me!" I whispered to myself quietly. "Who…are you?" She asked. She was shivering like a scared kitten but I still didn't feel a glint of pity for her. In fact, I was starting to regret the moment I decided to help her. I didn't want to guess what would happen if the swordsmen from the Sodinar kingdom got to know that she was with me. I placed my hands in my pocket as I saw in her expression and the way she acted that she was scared of me raping her, or even worse. "Don't ever ask me for my name again!" I said in a threatening voice and I noticed the way she flinched like my words sent a ball of fire to burn her to ashes. I should probably go to the woods and keep her back where I took her from. I desperately wanted to fuck her until she dies ontop of me, but I didn't do it. Not because I couldn't, but because I never took sexual advantage of helpless women. My eyes carefully observed every angle of her face. She was so beautiful, about 5'8 inches tall, big and round hazel eyes, and jet black hair that stretched to her shoulders. It must have taken God some extra days to create her. "But I didn't ask for your name," she replied. "I only asked who you are." I walked up to her and held her neck with my fists, pinning her to the wall so she couldn't breathe. "How dare you?" I said, raising my voice to the extent that I was sure it could be heard from miles away. "I'm…sorry." She muttered; her neck still held captive by my hands. "Please don't kill…me, I beg of you." I stared at her face with my mask still shielding my identity before I let go of her neck. "Food's in the kitchen." I suddenly said. "Make sure not to touch any other thing 'till I come back." I slowly strolled to the door and walked out after speaking to her.

* Author's P.O.V

Nessa looked at his retreating back in hatred as she continued to hold her neck. "He almost killed me." She said to herself; fear evident in her face. But then she remembered something, "He told me that there's food in the kitchen as casually as we've been friends even though he wanted to kill me a minute before that?" "Oh my God!" Nessa exclaimed. "I'm not sure he's from the Sodinar kingdom, what kind of person abducted me? And why was he wearing a mask?" She continued ranting. Nessa stood up from the bed she was sitting on to look around the room. She walked to the door and tried opening it but it was locked from outside. *What does this man plan for me?* Was he paid by the king of Sodinar to torture me until I die?* She let herself slowly fall to the ground with more tears of pain forming in her eyes. "He wasn't even going to tell me his name before he killed me, and he didn't ask for mine either." The constant blaring sound of an object in the room made her shut up. "What was that?" She asked herself in fear; while slowly walking to the direction the noise came from. It was something she had never seen before. Up in a far corner of the large room, she saw a wall clock blaring as a result of an alarm that was set in it. "Oh my goodness!" She exclaimed. "I'm finally going to die and join my parents and ancestors in heaven. "So the heartless horseman left a bomb in the room so I would die when he goes out?" Nessa ran quickly to the room door to see if she could force it open. She continuously turned the door handle with so much haste and desperation like she'd really changed her mind from dying. She banged on the wooden door with her hands continuously, saying, "Please open the door and let me go, I want to at least avenge the death of my kingdom before I die." Tears rolled down her eyes as she shouted the words like a maniac. The door didn't bulge as expected and she gave up at last, walking back to the room to find the kitchen and eat before she would die. She walked around the room for five minutes and still didn't find the kitchen, her throat now dry as she swallowed her spit in the absence of water. The heavy feeling of dying and not avenging her kingdom continued to grow in her mind as she walked back to the bed. "I regret the day I was born." She said with so much pain and tears rushing from her eyes that one would think it could form a river. She dreaded dying and giving the king of Sodinar the pleasure and achievement of being the only king in their continent who wiped out a full kingdom. "Even if I die, my ghost will come back for revenge, and this wicked horseman who starved me to death would be the first person I'd kill." That was all Nessa said before she slept off on the ground.
