but he was surprisingly chivalrous when it came to keeping me alive. I knew that he hated sleeping on the small sofa in my room; he tossed and turned every night because it was incredibly uncomfortable, so it was a refreshing sight to see him sleeping so soundly. I decided to leave him there for a couple more minutes. From the looks of it, I doubted he’d drown.
    I sat back down on the bed, drank a bit of my soda, and tried to study, but still found it to be useless. I couldn’t concentrate. All that assaulted my mind was the fact that I was in another city, staying in some weird inn while on the way to my hometown—on my way back to the house where I murdered my family. And in the midst of all of this, I was supposed to hope and pray that I’d somehow find the missing part of my soul so that I could be human again. It was an understatement to say that I had lost my appetite for studying after I ran through my entire to-do list. There was so much pressure riding on this trip alone—and so many dreaded things that I had to do here—that I couldn’t stop the migraine that had started to plague me.
    “Augh . . .”
    With an exhausted groan, I turned on the TV to take my mind off everything. Almost as soon as I rested my head on the pillow, I could hear the muffled moans coming from the couple next door. My skin crawled. I felt like I was in some bad porn movie. I turned up the volume of my TV show to drown out the extra sounds. While I was falling asleep, the screams coming from the TV were so loud that I could’ve sworn the screams were occurring right next door. However, because I was so tired, I kept my eyes closed and rested . . .
    It wasn’t until I sensed someone standing above me and staring down at me that I woke up. I opened my eyes, expecting to see Eclipse’s face. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the elderly man and woman staring down at me instead.
    The woman was sitting on my bed, her long gray hair spilling over my shoulders. Her knees were on either side of me, caging me in while the man stood above me, his eyes as dark as the night.
    Holy sh—!
    “Ahhh! Mmm! Mmm!”
    I tried to scream, but the woman placed her hands over my mouth and blocked any sounds I could emit. With hands firmly wrenched on my shoulders, they pulled me up, lifted me from the bed like I was a rag doll, and forcefully dragged me out of the room before I was able to scream for Eclipse.
    They were so fast that within the blink of an eye, I was already outside in the main hall, being dragged mercilessly over the carpet and into a dark corner of the inn.
    I couldn’t believe it.
    Kidnapped.
    I was being kidnaped.

 
     
     
     
    “Let it burn with the fire of a thousand dead suns . . .”

03 : Kidnapped
     
    “Augh!”
    My pained groans poured throughout the hall as they ruthlessly dragged me over the carpet. In the midst of this abduction, I still couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that an old grandma and grandpa were kidnapping me from my own room. If I weren’t in so much physical pain from the carpet burns, I would seriously believe that this was a screwed up dream.
    “Let go of me, you wrinkly old freaks!” I managed to screech out once I was able to shift my mouth from under the woman’s hold.
    Like a bird caught in a net, I became uncontrollable. I squirmed my body every which way to extract myself from their hold.
    “Ugh!” the woman cried, struggling to control me while they continued to drag me across the floor. “Stop moving so much, you short girl!”
    The old couple groaned in indignation and fought to steady me. Once I felt them loosen their holds, I extracted my arm out from their grasp and did the first thing I could think of: I elbowed the person closest to me, which happened to be the woman.
    Thwack!
    The sharp tip of my elbow slammed into her jaw, causing her teeth to violently clack together. As an added measure to get her off of me, I punched her in the eye.
    “Ahhhhhh!” the old woman
