Forever Destined To The Silver Shadow

Celestia's POV: 

The first thing I saw after I woke up from my slumber was his green eyes. They were mesmerizing like ever! Once my mind got completely awake, I realized that he had been watching me sleep all this time. 

I grunted slightly and pulled the blanket up to my neck—to cover my bare body. Even though he has seen me a lot of times, my heartbeat gets rapid every time he sees me naked. 

Theo bent over the mattress and gave me a kiss on my forehead. "Good morning, my love—"

I just smiled at him as I didn't know how to react. And I wasn't aware how many days we both had spent in this room. It has been forever since I wore some clothes. I wrapped my body with the blanket and got down from the mattress. The nightgown I wore while I got into this place was now lying torn on the ground, five feet away from me. 

*You should really stop ruining my clothes," I sighed out. 

He held my chin and said, "Come on, my love! No fabric in all three realms can do real justice to your natural beauty—"

He then tried to pull away from the warm blanket that was wrapping my body. But I pushed him away and ran away from him. It is not like he couldn't chase and catch up to me! Still, I ran to the mirror that was on the corner of the room to take a good look at myself. 

There were so many love marks over my neck and chest. I turned to him and frowned at him. "You are a monster, did you know that?"

As usual, he smiled at my insults. "How can you stay cute even when you are angry?"

I marveled at his flirting skills. He really knows what to say to shut me up. If he were in the mortal world, then he would have been termed as the biggest player.

"Celestia, my love," he said and pulled me closer to him by my waist. "I am planning to take you somewhere special tomorrow morning. But for that, I will have to leave you for now—"

He pecked my forehead and whispered, "I hope that you will behave yourself while I am gone. Or else I will have to tame you so hard when I get back here—"

I flinched and moved away from him. Sometimes he gets so intimidated that I get scared to my core. 

"But I think that I can trust you. You have been a very good girl for the past two days," he smirked.

So I have been staying in this room with him for the past two days?! 

"I'll be back soon," he said and vanished in thin air as white smoke.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once he left, I opened the closet door to check if there were any clothes for me. The best I found there were his own robes. Since I was desperate, I decided to wear his robe. But his clothes were too big for me. When I looked at the mirror, I felt like I was a scarecrow from the mortal farms. 

It took me a long time to realize that Darius was actually in danger. He must be imprisoned somewhere in this castle. I should probably go and free him! I immediately ran out of the room and stepped into the hallway. There was no one out here. 

Yet, I didn't know which way I should go. This castle is like a maze to me! The walls and floors of the castles are mostly made up of glasses. Most of the pathway looks similar to me. Maybe I will find my way eventually! I got down to the staircase and stepped into the lower floor hallway. 

Suddenly, I was greeted up by a strawberry blonde-haired girl who had a pleasant smile on her face. "Celestia! What are you doing here? And what the hell are you wearing?"

I didn't have to give her an answer—as she sensed everything that was going on by reading my mind. 

"Well, I can tell the maids to give you clothes," she said. 

"Thank you so much, Amelia! You are a lifesaver—"

"No problem," she kept on smiling. "But the other thing you need. I can't help you with that. Theo will literally kill me if he comes to know that I let you meet up with Darius—and you plan to free him?! That is not going to be possible, dear!'

"But he is imprisoned in the dungeon! He doesn't deserve that treatment. I should do something to save him from that hell—"

"You should probably talk to Theo about this. He will definitely listen to you if you ask him," she said. 

"Fine! At least take me to him now. I just want to see him. I don't demand anything more than that—"

She let out a sigh. "Theo will kill me for this! I hope that you will save me when that happens," she said and held my hand. Then we both disappeared in thin air and reappeared in someplace dark. 

Darius jumped to his feet when he saw me. But he was definitely not happy to see me. It seems more like he was shocked. "Celestia, what the hell are you doing here?"

"I…. I…" I paused. What exactly can I say to him?

He scanned me from top to bottom, and he understood that I was in his robe. Then his skin turned pale like that of the white sheet. 

"Did he touch you?" 

I froze and didn't say anything. 

"You lost yourself to him again, didn't you?"

I started to feel guilty. But everything felt right when it happened. Now when Darius questioned me, I felt like I committed some sin. 

"Why did you come here, Celestia? Why do you always keep on falling in his trap?"

"But I was brought here against my will," I defended myself. 

"Don't tell me that he touched you against your will too! Or did he do something like that to you?"

"No," I shouted. "No…. He didn't force me…."

"Then you went with it?" he almost screamed. "Celestia, have you forgotten the price that you paid for your sins in your last birth? Or do you want to be eternally in hell?"

I didn't know what to say. And Amelia, who was standing beside me, moved near the cell. "Hey, tough guy! Stop manipulating the Dawn. She is in the right place now, and you can't keep on confusing her with your lies—"

"She is in the right place?" he raised his voice. "Being someone's sex slave is being in the right place?!"

Even I was confused by his words. Am I his sex slave now? That is impossible! Amelia then held my hand and said, "Celestia, it is not good for you to stay here anymore. He has already manipulated you enough."

"At least don't let him touch you again for your own good, Celestia," I heard Darius shout out before I appeared back in the hallway. 

"Celestia, listen to me. Don't listen to Darius. He is deceiving you! You can't take him seriously."

I was confused. Who could be lying now? I saw love in Theo's eyes. He can't be deceiving me. And Darius is my well-wisher too! He couldn't be deceiving me either. 

"Stop overthinking through this, Celestia! Just have faith in Theo. He really loves you, and all you have to do is love him back. He doesn't need anything more than that from you—"

My mind was so clouded that I wasn't able to predict what was real or unreal anymore.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Amelia pushed me back to the room and locked me up as she thought that I might run away from the island. I should have run away from here when I had the opportunity. Now I lost my chance.

My mind was constantly thinking about the words that my father had told me the other day. He told me that every time I get touched by him, my father dies a little inside. And he was already sick before I got abducted. What would have happened to him now? 

He must be traumatized that I am missing. I sat down on the mattress and remembered how the healer Fae Lord Aeson was treating my father. Why didn't I think about my father before I gave up my purity? 

It is not my fault! Every time I see him, I get an insatiable impulse to do everything that he tells me to do. Perhaps he is doing something to control my mind! That must be it. 

That is the reason why I get my sanity back every time he leaves me. He makes me go insane by alluring me. That evil trickster! If he appears before me again, I am definitely going to confront him. 

And my wish came true soon. He appeared out of white smoke and stepped closer to me. "My love, are you alright?"

"Release Darius now," I screamed at him. "And also don't ever try to touch me again—"
