Part 35: Darkness

The Cruel Prince

Author by Natalie Ernison

Jenner is different from his usual self, who exactly is Jenner?

“I'm fed up with the atrocities you've done all this time...” Jenner whispered as punched the wall in one of rooms.

“What did you mean by that? do you intend to challenge me!!” snapped the queen mother very furiously.

“Go ahead, or I'll destroy your cursed castle!” Jenner said with a look in eyes that was so angry that she could barely control it anymore.

Arghh.... “what should I do Nathasya!!” Jenner was really annoyed with herself, he hated the situation he couldn't get Nathasya out of Zakra's grip.

“If I come there, then I'm afraid Nathasya will be in danger..” Jenner whispered, he was really confused. He wanted to meet Nathasya immediately, but he understood very well that Zakra would definitely hurt Nathasya.

“Zakra's Mansion”

Arghh..... “get me out of here Zakra!! please, I'm scared, ahkk ....” the sound of a woman's groan from behind the door in the top room, which is precisely on the third floor at the end.

“You better reflect on your mistakes for a moment, after realizing it, then I let you go!!” Zakra snapped from behind the door, then he left the door.

Ahkkk.. hhhhah... please don't leave me here alone... the woman whispered, with sobs that had not stopped.

In a dark and eerie room, that's where Nathasya is currently locked up by Zakra.

Nathasya huddled on the floor and the sides of the wall, her body shaking violently, her heart beating faster. Why not, at this time she was locked in a pitch dark room, she was alone and there was no one to accompany her.

Syhaasss ... chyasss ... the sound of footsteps is now running slowly, and slowly the steps are now getting closer to her.

She covered her mouth with both hands, her tears kept flowing, she was very scared and horrified.

Silence....

The footsteps suddenly stopped right behind her body, where he was currently huddled. Her whole body was shaking violently, the hairs on her neck stood on end.

Hahhhh .... haaa ... cold wind blows and able to make her eyes closed, now blowing behind the trunk of his neck.

She tightened her hands on her knees even more.

Hahhhh... hhh... again the gust of wind hit the skin of the trunk of her neck, she could only be silent and didn't dare to make a sound, she cried profusely.

Grepp...

A touch gripped her right shoulder. Suddenly it made her scream out loud. However, the sound of her screams was not heard at all, she was like a mute who did not make a sound.

Whoosh...

A gust of cold wind hit her face, and a dim light lit up the room. Nathasya looked around her, she saw the figure of a man with back to her.

Nathasya tried to stand up with his legs shaking violently, then she pressed herself against the wall holding herself tightly.

The figure slowly turned itself towards Nathasya, but something was strange. Her head shook, like a half-paralyzed person.

How surprised Nathasya was when she saw the figure was Abed...

“Abbbhhh Abed...” Nathasya mumbled because her voice was barely audible.

Abd looks pale, his mouth is filled with fresh blood, his hands are also filled with fresh blood. It turned out that Abed was scratching a knife in his arm.

“Do not!!” Nathasya immediately took the knife.

“What are you doing Abed??”

“Why do you care?” said Abed with a crooked smile.

“Why are you doing this Abed?” Nathasya whispered, her body so weak.

“Take care of yourself! Aren't you being punished ..” said Abed with an indifferent tone to Nathasya. Nathasya started to remember, well it seems like it's getting late now, so Abed has changed his personality again, he thought.

“Abed why are you here?”

“None of your business..” Abed said in a cold tone.

“Abed, I..—“

“Go!!” Abed snapped at Nathasya to make Nathasya so very surprised by what saw and heard at this time.

“Just enjoy your punishment..” Whoa... Abed instantly disappeared, then the room was pitch black again.

Nathasya groaned again against the cold side of the wall. She started shivering and shaking again. She was no longer able to cry, even she didn't really understand why Zakra had locked her in this dark room.

Several hours had passed, Nathasya had not come out and Zakra had not come to see her.

“I can help you out of here ..” the voice suddenly made Nathasya very surprised and woke up from her embrace.

“Abed!” Nathasya was surprised with wide eyes.

“But I can only take you through Zakra's sphere of power, after that you will go through it yourself, are you able to?” said Abed with a very sharp look in her eyes.

“--I…”

“hey hurry up!!” Abed snapped.

“Okay..” Nathasya answered firmly and confidently.

“Okay, now hold my hand tightly and close your eyes..” Abed ordered, Nathasya also obeyed Abed's words. As they were about to leave, suddenly a woman who resembled Nathasya appeared.

“Abed, who is he?? Nathasya was shocked and shuddered in horror when she saw the sharp look in her twin's eyes.

“He is a demon, as long as no one suspects him, he will be fine and still be you, but he can only be silent.” Abed said then hugged Nathasya's tiny body.

>>>

“Abed where are we?” they arrived in front of a tall and luxurious building.

“I can only take you here, just wait a few minutes, then you'll know where you are.”

“Abed I have to be like...” Abed suddenly disappeared from his sight.

“Remember whatever happens face it with confidence, and I can only help you get here, I will also go somewhere, and if you want to meet me. Bite your wrist until it drips blood, then write my name on your white thigh.. -” the voice disappeared.

Nathasya was very confused, but she was happy now, even though fear clouded her mind.

Nathasya sat on the edge of the lobby and she saw people passing by, but she was confused about what to do. She was not wearing shoes and only wearing a thin nightgown of hers. But Nathasya still believes and believes in what Abed said, she believes Abed is a good-hearted man, after Abed who is a demon.

Ahkk ... a car headlight shone in her eyes, and Nathasya was dazzled by it. She covered her face with her arms and tried to look ahead.

A tall, well-built man got out of a jet black car. The man was wearing a dark coat, he walked towards Nathasya. Nathasya could not see clearly the man's face. But after getting closer, she just noticed the figure of a man who was walking towards her.

Nathasya was really surprised, when she saw the figure...
