Part 18: Darkness

The Cruel Prince

Author by Natalie Ernison

After telling all his pain in the past, Abed again hoped that Nathasya would really become a wingless angel. Abed had never felt the embrace of a woman he loved so much, including his own biological mother who really didn't want him.

Abed once liked a girl named Ruth, but in reality the love was only one sided. He also began to no longer want to love a girl / woman, although after graduating from high school, he became quite established. He started his business without interference from his parents who no longer even cared about him.

He struggled to work part time while continuing his education to a college. Abed is very famous, because of his academic achievements, and also he who has started a business/business at a very young age.

But when the full moon arrived, he had to endure his suffering. Because on the full moon his form will change to half a black eagle, and only grow big wings. The wings hurt him a lot, and he had to drink pure virgin blood to reduce the pain.

Abed didn't want to drink the blood of a virgin, he didn't want to remember the incident where his biological mother tortured him, and almost took his life. It happened only because he bit his sister's arm.

He was determined to get rid of the curse as soon as possible, in fact he tried his best to restrain his killing instincts and his lustful instincts. The instinct of the curse requires him to have sex with a pure virgin, also drink the blood of the virgin.

It was too cruel and barbaric to do, he thought. In order to contain his lecherous instincts, he had to hurt himself. He often scraped a knife on his arm until he bled profusely. He licked the dripping blood as a thirst quencher.

His loyal servants were very worried about Abed's condition, they were even willing to give virgin blood through blood transfusions by paying the virgins. However, Abed was reluctant to drink the blood.

… … …

“How can I enjoy my life, when I have to take someone's life victim. The future of a girl must be snatched away just for the sake of my recovery. I'm not that depraved and savage..!!” Abed squeaked with sadness.

“Zakra Residence Mansion”

Nathasya curled up on her queen size bed, she looked pale and was shaking violently. For some reason, since the night she met Abed, Nathasya's body temperature became very hot. She shivered quite badly.

“Madam what happened, why is madam like this??” said the maids who looked frightened. How not, if Zakra finds out about Nathasya's condition, then will rage and will not hesitate to torture the servants.

Nathasya just curled up unable to move, she looked very confused and very unwell. Her eyes stared up at the ceiling of her room, her eyes blank and undead.

“Madam please wake up, madam ..” the maids groaned.

“What should we do, should we ask the young master for help?” said a waiter.

“Wouldn't that be a problem? moreover we are acting without the knowledge of lord Zakra!” said the waiter doubtfully.

“Never mind, if there's still something we can do, why make Mr. Zakra go home from his business.” Said a tall guard with a burly body.

“Alright, please call young master. It is likely that the young master has returned from work.”

… …

Not long after that, Abed arrived still wearing his complete neat clothes.

“You come out ..” Abed said as he approached Nathasya.

“But young master..—”

“I won't hurt her, I will protect her. If you can't do anything better get out!” Abed commanded, then with compulsion, the servants and bodyguards departed.

Crackk... The sound of the door locking itself.

Abed started to rub Nathasya's head, then gently stroked the area of Nathasya's face.

“Nathasya wake up my sweet ..” Abed whispered right in Nathasya's ear. Instantly Nathasya immediately refreshed.

“Abed!! How can I..—”

Sehhhttt...” didn't I tell you, I'll protect you..” Abed whispered with a smirk on his face.

“It's almost night, no wonder he changed his personality again...” Nathasya thought.

Knock Knock Knock...

“Young master, madam .. please eat first ..” said one of the waiters from behind the door.

“Well please come in. But just leave the food alone, you guys please get on with your work.” Abed said while reaching for the food tray that was on the wheeled table.

“Thank God, madam is back. Young master, thank you for your kindness sir..” said the waiter with great respect.

“Please come out, I want to talk with Nathasya ..” Abed ordered, then the servant left, and she knew their young master would be nice.

…..

“Abed, thank you. Thanks to your help, I recovered.” said Nathasya who was seen smiling again while lying on her bed.

“Yes Nathasya, I will do anything for you ..” Abed replied proudly.

“Nathasya, I'm sorry. I'm the one who made your situation like this. This way I can be close to you..” Abed thought.

“Abed, may I ask you something?”

“What do you want to ask sweetie?”

“Abed, why does your personality change day and night? why do you seem to have multiple personalities?” said Nathasya who suddenly made Abed's face stiffen, his tongue felt numb.

“Nathasya, you have to eat..” Abed cut off the conversation and didn't seem to want to continue.

“But I..-”

“I will feed you,” said Abed which made Nathasya feel embarrassed.

“No no.. I can do it myself!” Nathasya refused the offer, she didn't want Abed to expect more from her.

“That's good Nathasya, for now you don't need to know about my other identity. You just need to smile again .. “ Abed thought, instantly he smiled faintly.

He was very happy when he saw Nathasya start to smile again. Nathasya's joy began to recover little by little, and it started to happen since Zakra was often out of town/country. Nathasya feels her normal life is recovering little by little, even though she is still in the trap of Zakra, the darkness psychopath.

“Ahkkk ahkkk ... yes faster yes ...” again the screams and groans were very disturbing Nathasya's sleep time.

“Argh... I can't sleep with...-- Nathasya muttered, then suddenly a long scream was heard.

Argh.... ahhhhh... silence....

Nathasya started to wake up from her queen size bed, then tried to get up the courage to sneak up. With a violent shaking body, Nathasya tried to put her feet on the floor.

Zakra's room lights look very bright. What a depraved act that no one can match, thought Nathasya.

When Nathasya was sneaking around...

Grepp...

A cold hand gripped her body from behind. The roar of a cold breath blowing against the shaft of his neck, it made her shudder as hard as it felt.

“What do you really want to peek at their animal deeds, my sweet ..” whispered the figure. A figure that is invisible and can only be felt through the sense of touch / skin. But that distinctive voice she knew very well.

“Abed...” Nathasya muttered quietly.

“Yes, sweet, please don't squat too much, you're making something down there rebellious ..” Abed whispered with an amused chuckle.

“You crazy Abed, let go of your hand!” Nathasya said annoyed, because Abed always suddenly appeared secretly.

“We're going to your room, later I'll help you see what's going on in there without you having to sneak around which actually endangers you sweetie..” Abed said then immediately carried Nathasya bridal style.

“Let go!” Nathasya said with a sour face.

“You want to know don't you, so don't argue.” Abed whispered right in her ear.

“It's very strange, why Abed can have two different personalities...” Nathasya thought.

“Sit on the edge of this bed and close your eyes, no matter what happens no protest!”

Nathasya convinced herself to trust the other side of Abed at night.

“Open my sweet ..” Abed commanded, then Nathasya slowly opened her eyes. It was really shocking, almost made her throw up...
