Devil's vow

Strom Palace

Russia

Cally's Pov

Surprisingly, last month turned out to be pretty smooth for me, I had grown close to the boys. Tyler seemed to accompany me most of the time. It had become a fashion for all of us to do homework at home together.

But I was not calm, placidity seem to have left my heart. I felt an inconsolable paranoia, an institution so strong that my actions were not only watched but also observed wherever I left home. Terrified was not even the right word to be associated with me, I felt something bad was going to happen, I avoided going out at all costs and liked myself surrounded by crowds always.

Right now I was sitting on my bed with Tyler sprawled on the couch,solving algebra while Ace was busy doing his history project. Ryan was sitting right beside him doing mainly nothing,just watching the ceiling.

Truth to be told I felt happy but the feeling was eating me alive since my father had called me last week. He wanted to talk to me but I refused and as much as I know him,my father- Valace Strom never accepted no for an answer. He was coming to Russia today.

Alaina was pretty much in her own world nowadays and I didn't bothered myself about it, she though had a good heart, could be a ungrateful person sometimes, she didn't realised that she was lucky to have everything.

She never needed to beg for anything and sometimes her morals sucked because she never knew what pain is, what I had gone through, she... she would never survive it,to have your parents around you was a privilege which she had her whole life, actually she was privileged for everything.

"Where is Alaina? she does not hangout with us nowadays." Ace voice woke me up from my chain of thoughts.

"She must be getting wasted at some party, it isn't new of her to mop around for nothing."

"It's midnight Cally, geez do you even have an idea where she could be, if she gets drunk do you realise she could be in a danger?" Ryan asked in a little anger .Ok now I was guilty but soon It got absorbed, he always looked out for her like she was his responsibility.

"Her guards must be with her" I spoke to him mockingly.

"Ok, tell me her parents would give her permission to visit late night clubs,right,so it isn't like she sneaked or anything?" Ace's venom filled voice reached me and to be honest, his voice sounded of rage and I fought the urge to cower under his ferociously gaze.

"W-we must search for her" Tyler announced and Ryan without a second glance at me went outside.

Vixen night club

Russia

Alaina's pov

Not even in my dreams I would have thought that I might be sitting in a club with a weed smoking person beside me, the bartender who didn't knew me two days before now was well aware of my flavor of drink.

I picked myself up and went to the dance floor,bodies grinding with smell of drugs filling up the club. I didn't mind, alcohol in my system had blurred and dulled all my thoughts.

Two hands rested on my hips trailing they way down. I jerked my body out of hold.

"I am not interested, fuck off."

"Give it one more minute and you will think otherwise."

My senses were not working anymore, the figure got hazy and I felt dizzy all of a sudden.

"What..whatt did you do?" My speech slurred as his arms gripped mine harshly.

"Having fun? Don't worry we will have more fun together." his grinned at me showing his pointed teeth to which I reconciled.

His lips attached to my collarbone making their way to my cheek, which made my stomach churn and bile rise my throat, but I couldn't bring myself to fight, what was happening to me lord? a hand rose my top to my naval. His bony fingers tracing my abdomen to which I pushed him away.

"You are sold to me, traded like the whore you are." Tears clouded my vision and the feeling of absolute helplessness washed over me.

Again I was that little scared girl who was being traded like cattle, again that girl who feared men beyond comprehension.

Before I could fully comprehend what was happening his body was thrown off me and my front was pushed in someone's rock hard body.

I met two forest green orbs which were darkened to black, I couldn't make out much but I was sure I saw unfathomable madness in them.

As I stumbled he caught me in his arms,his hands gripping my waist and back with his palms, picking me up in bridal style where I embraced the darkness. I didn't knew much but my soul told I was safe, maybe in the perfect place where I belonged.

"Seize the man" was the last words entering my brain.
