Athena
It was late at night and Sebastian had not come to my room yet. As I looked at the clock, I came to realize, it was already hours past the time he'd usually come to my room.
There were far fewer chances of him coming to my room, today. Maybe he was simply enjoying his night with his beloved mistress instead of deciding me torture me like every other day.
I needed to go out of the room to reach Winona and get out of this place, but what if Sebastian comes all of a sudden?
If he catches me trying to escape...I did even know what he'd do.
Surely he wouldn't kill me, but whatever he'd do, I knew it was going to be worse than death.
But sitting like this was not going to help me either.
I might lose a huge opportunity because of my fear.
What should I do?
Sit here and wait for him or just put faith in fate and go for it?
This was my last chance to escape. I couldn't miss it.
Every minute with my so-called mate felt suffocating, I was dying little by little.....
No! I couldn't miss this opportunity.
I had to go.
I pushed away the duvet off of my body, grabbed a scarf, and draped it over me to cover my face before I finally walked out of the room.
The peril shrouded my insides soon as I stepped out of the room.
What Sebastian said to me the first day he brought me from the auction rang inside of my head.
"If you try to show any sort of disobedience or attempt anything stupid such as trying to escape...I'll throw right where I have brought you from and do you know what those auctioneers do to the returned goods?"
His smirk flashed before my eyes.
"First they use them and fulfill their thirst and then they tear them into pieces and share it among themselves."
"No! You can't let the fear of him take over you!" I told myself and shook the thoughts away.
I inhaled a deep breath and look around to make sure there was no one around me and once I became sure of it, I slowly began heading downstairs.
Once I reached the stairs, suddenly I saw a guard patrolling, and then he looked back where I was.
Oh no...
His eyes were seconds away from catching me but I hurriedly hid behind the nearest pillar. Putting my hand over my mouth to stop the gasp that was on the verge of tearing through my mouth.
I held my breath tight, trying not to make any sound at all.
I heard the guard's footsteps getting closer and my heartbeats picked up a pace.
God, please no! I did not want to get caught and be thrown at the same place!
Please! Please! Please!
The guard was only a few steps away from me behind the pillar when another guard interrupted,
"Hey, Mark. What are you doing there? We need to check the garden area, apparently, a few guards have noticed some intruders, come."
Intruders?
"Okay, I'll come." Thankfully he let go of his speculation and walked away.
I released the breath I was holding once I saw the guards walking away.
What a narrow escape!
I waited for a few minutes before I took the stairs and carefully walked down and finally reached the hall.
My eyes instantly spotted Winona at a corner and I hurriedly reached her.
"Winona..."
"Athena, finally you are here," She released a sigh of relief, "Has anybody noticed you coming here?"
"No, none did. Can we go now?"
"Yeah, sure. We should go now," She led the way, "Come with me."
She led me toward the backside of the mansion, this side of the mansion was completely silent and dark; The more we walked, the darker it got.
Suddenly the feeling of someone watching me caused my feet to halt on the way.
I whipped around to look back, but to my surprise I found none. I hastily looked around me and I was met with the same silence.
There was none around me.
"Athena, what are you doing? Come on." Winona ushered in a low voice when she saw me frozen on my spot.
Maybe I was just thinking too much. There could not be anyone here at this hour.
"Okay." I nodded and followed Winona once again.
It took a few more minutes before she finally opened the door of a room and walked inside followed by me.
The room was very dark and full of dust and old pieces of furniture that were no longer of any use. The half-broken lamp was the only source of light and there were spider nets everywhere.
Winona walked towards the window, hurriedly removing the spider nets with her hand to get access to the lock, and then she pulled out a key before she opened the window.
The sudden moonlight fell over my face causing me to shut my eyes for a moment, a gust of wind was second to hit my face.
