Roxie clenched her fists around the shopping bags and stepped back— the guy stepped forward. She gasped, looking straight at his face, and unfortunately noticed he was rather appealing. If the scenario had been different, Roxie knew she would have whistled...perhaps asking if he was single, but it wasn't, and she was going to die!
Roxie panicked and took a step back again as he closed the gap, his golden eyes looking her down with a blanket of blankness. She didn't want to notice how incredibly charming he was but she did—he was fine. How stupid Roxie!She took another step back, this time intending to flee, but when she quickly turned, she collided with another board chest. Her breath caught in her throat as she looked up to face a set of violet eyes.What was with the eyes? Roxie couldn't help but grimaced. She nervously licked her lips and giggled. "Please believe me when I say that I have never offended anyone. I'm innocent!"Maybe she wasn't entirely innocent. Gloria and a few others would like to cross her off their bucket list. Damnit!Her words were met with nothing. Roxie looked between them. It was just two charming guys, she could outrun them—the fine ones were always stupid. She turned to her left just as a third guy appeared out of nowhere.The one in front reached out to grab her wrist, but luckily Roxie was light on her feet as she hopped off onto the sidewalk. "Fuck you!" she spat before fleeing into the unknown.Being the captain of the cheerleading team and taking a few running classes, these guys were nothing, but when Roxie glimpsed back, she was wrong, completely and utterly wrong. They were gaining on her fast—too fast that it would seem abnormal on a normal day."SOMEBODY HEL-"THUD!It was like the breath in her was knocked out as she collided with something stark and solid, the force and impact knocking her down to her ass. Roxie gasped in agony. She couldn't help but yell out in exasperation when she looked up."Another one!"Where did all these guys come from? It was just her and four of them! Please be reasonable world!Before she could get up, Roxie was seized by both arms and dragged to her feet, her grocery bags forgotten. Hey! She'd spend a lot of money on those!"Please let me go. I swear, I will be a good girl from now on!" She begged pathetically but was bluntly ignored as the new guy said."I thought you said you’d take care of it."When he met her gaze, he looked unimpressed while Roxie felt her breath become trapped in an instant, and she ceased struggling or begging.Crimson eyes, strong jawlines, prominent cheekbones, and whitish hair as well as well-defined facial features. Roxie thoroughly ran her eyes shamelessly over him, seemingly taking her time as she realized he had the physique she'd want in a man.What drew her attention the most were the strange tattoos structured in that of a leaf beneath his right eye and near his ear, and then she saw they all had the same tattoos in the same places.Was she being kidnapped by some sort of gang?Roxie kept her gaze fixed on him. She suddenly felt a burning desire to get closer and take a sniff of his cologne because the little adorned her nostrils was above ground, almost addictive.This was not typical behavior in a scenario like this, but she almost didn't care as she spewed out."You're hot."Roxie was inebriated with sensations as she stared at him while they looked at her sharply like she was out of her mind. Maybe she was as she suddenly didn't care that she was possibly going to die shortly. It seemed like a triumph to catch a glimpse of his face."Take her to the van." He ordered and she couldn't help the whine that came out as they took her away from him, towards a massive black van she hadn't noticed before parked at the side. Her life was really getting shitty now.She was pushed inside the vehicle, which had benches on both sides. As she sat down on the left side, she snarled, and three of the guys took the other bench while the new object of her obsession slammed the door shut behind him.Roxie grumbled and tossed her head back as soon as the vehicle began to move. So, this was where her life came to an end— being trafficked and converted into some pleasure slave? Or maybe, kill her and sell her vital organs?She folded her arms around herself and tried not to tremble at the thought of it. Just then, Roxie noticed the third guy had snow-like irises—If he wasn't just as appealing to the eyes, he'd emerged as a ghost—he looked too pale just like his eyes. Cold and icy. The mere sight was enough to make her shiver. Was it possible for humans to look like that?Unless they weren't human? "Are you some sort of superhero gang? What's with the eyes?" Roxie knew she should keep her mouth shut but she couldn't, she needed something to keep her mind occupied from having the most terrible ideas. Her mind was pretty imaginative and creative—could make a really good horror writer.As if she hadn't said anything, she was again ignored. Fine then. Who needs to talk to them anyway? Roxie shut her eyes and tried to pretend all this was a nightmare and she was going to wake up on her bed soon.*~*There were times Roxie was impassive to feeling. She didn't feel frightened when she was supposed to, feel sad, shaky, or cry like a normal human being in situation like this, instead, she felt bored.After driving for a few minutes to an unidentified place, Roxie couldn't stand the solitude any longer. "Is it hot in here or is it just me?" She grilled and fanned herself with her palm because it was scorchingly hot, but they were scorchingly hotter. Really.She watched their blank faces. "Can you please say something, I can't take the stillness anymore!" She was infuriating, she knew. Maybe they would find her too annoying and drop her off somewhere.Roxie waited for an answer, but they only stared blankly at the wall behind her.She scowled. "Are you deaf, perhaps dumb, or maybe you don't speak English?" Being so desperate for some sound other than hers, Roxie blurted the only Spanish words she knew. "Hola. ¿Puedes entenderme?"Again with the silence glances. Maybe they didn't know Spanish. How about French? "Pouvez-vous me comprendre, beaux enfoirés?"Maybe not French. She threw her head back and cracked her head for more languages she could speak a few words. Maybe latin? Maybe not. She sighed in defeat and clicked her tongue.The handsome ones were always so dumb. What a waste.This better be a late birthday surprise.When Roxanne opened her eyes again she found herself looking at a wooden ceiling with a throbbing in her head. She winced and pushed herself to a sitting posture on the little bed. What the hell! She rubbed against her forehead and took a quick check of her surroundings, but there was nothing to gaze at, save the little bed she was sleeping on; there was a door but no windows. This was no late birthday celebration; she'd been abducted! Roxie realized with a gasp. How long did she sleep?! Her cellphone. Roxie forgot the pain in her head as she checked her pockets, only to discover her phone missing. Those scumbags. What did they even want from her?! Roxie sprang out of bed and began hammering on the wooden door. "Hey! Let me out of here. I didn't do anything to anybody!" In this life, she'd done plenty to people but only because they came at her first and she didn't go down without a fight. "Please let me go, you've got the wrong girl!" She shouted again, and the door swung open,
Screw it! Roxanne knew she was going to die the second four more wolves appeared behind the first one, their black eyes looking more lethal and their fangs ready to rip some skin."Ciel, take her and leave; we will keep them at bay!" Roxie snapped her head to violent eyes who yelled and she almost wanted to bite off his head. There were plenty of places to kidnap someone but instead, these cretinous yet gorgeous guys thought it would be best to take their victims to a wolf-infested forest, and now they were all going to die as a result of their stupidity!Ciel sharply turned to face her, taking hold of her wrist. “Let’s get you out of here!”Roxie knew she should keep her mouth shut and just follow the man but she ended up shouting before he could start pulling her. “Wait!! Where’s the handsome one?” That was stupid, but she had not yet fed her eyes sufficiently enough. He was not permitted to die!Every human head in the room snapped around to look at her in bafflement.“We are all
"Hey! I need to pee!" Roxanne bashed the door, each bang was louder than the last. "Is there anyone out there? I'm going to pee on the floor! Open the door damnit!" She pressed her ear against the door, hoping to detect the sound of footsteps and a grin stretched on her lips when she did. She footed away from the door as it finally unlocked, disclosing a bearded man with a fatigued expression."What?!" His tone came out brisk but he could go fuck himself for all she cared.Roxie clutched her legs together and bent with her hand over her stomach. "I need to pee."He did a speedy scan over her with his dull eyes. "Do you take me for a nitwit? This isn't a fucking movie princess. Stay there before I tie you to the bed." He hissed, striving to shut the door but she grabbed it."Please, I swear I'm not fibbing. I really need to use the toilet. Please, please!" She bit painfully on her bottom lip and clenched her legs even tighter. Again, his eyes went aimlessly over her before he blew ou
She sat on her throne with an impious grin on her lips as the guards dragged a servant girl by the arms roughly into the throne room and threw her at her feet. “Please!” the servant pleaded with tears streaming down her face.She got up from her throne and approached the servant with a malignant glint in her eyes. She stopped in front of her and squatted to her level. A queen didn't go down for anybody but this one, she was ready to make an exception. “You tried to poison me, servant?” She laughed; her voice echoed throughout the hall; her aura was felt by everyone. She held her hand out and a goblet of wine was placed on her palm. She held it to the servant's face. “I saved this just for you. Want to have a taste?” The servant shook her head in fear but a Queen didn't take no for an answer as she grabbed the servant's mouth forcibly and with a laugh, she dumped the liquid of poisoned wine in her mouth and made sure no drop touched the floor.Feeling satisfied, she threw the goble
Roxanne was starting to believe all this was a fucking nightmare because there was no way her once-perfect life flipped just upside in the snap of a finger.They said she was one of them and that was the most bullshit Roxie had ever heard in her entire life. She could swear that she was human and had always been human.There was a moment when she spaced out, she didn't know when the unknown man left or when she was forced to take a bath and put into a dress that graced the floors beautifully and her face was beautified with makeup.“What do you think?”Roxie immediately came back to her senses and the reality before her.She was standing in front of a full-length mirror and the image that stared back at her was stunning, Roxie almost didn't recognize herself.The dress was beautiful, a red dress that cinched to her tiny waist adding to its flattering and streamlined silhouette. It had a v-neckline that spilled soft light fabric downwards with a gentle sway. It was flowy, delicate, and
Roxanne wanted to sleep and never wake up but when had things ever gone the way she wanted?She let out a grunt of exasperation as rays of sunshine punctured her eye as Bloom pushed the curtains open, making her presence known without hesitation.“Rise and shine!” She exclaims, and Roxie lets out another piqued sound from the back of her throat before throwing the covers over her head.“Go away!” She mumbled as she felt herself drift back to sleep almost instantly, only to have the covers yanked from her, causing her eyes to pop open and her body to jerk into a sitting position on the bed. “You took away my freedom and now you won't let me fucking sleep!” She cried and gave Bloom a sardonic glare, but the girl laughed and looked exactly like her name. "Today marks the start of the Dance of the Moon Ritual, which calls for all the champions to get to know one another over breakfast every day. You are already a few minutes late.”Dance of what? "I refuse to go. I don't want to meet any

She sat on her silver and ebony throne, a queen. With an exhilarated expression in her soulless eyes that suggested a fire blazing inside them, she fixed her gaze on her prey. As her aura changed to something ominous and oppressive yet attractive, she lay back on her throne, one leg crossed over the other, and allowed her control and aura to be felt in every corner of the space. It was just as delicious, and once you took a sniff, you quickly became hooked and killed without realizing it. She glanced at them, a smirk stretching over her bow-shaped lips that seemed to have been colored with something bolder and darker than blood, and her eyes glittered with a predator's gleam. She watched them more like prey and pawns than her people. “All hail the Luna!” They fell to their knees and bowed until their foreheads touched the glossy black floor tiles at the thunderous and unrestrained order, hailing the powerful Luna. She watched them with thrill, and as she laughed, the esoteric and
