Star Crossed In Time

Chapter 18 - The Devil And His Rules

"From now on, your clothes will stay on especially when you're in front of me." He says in a low voice making me shiver again. I quickly nod my head and watch with relief when he starts to pull back. Suddenly he stops and stares at me for a few silent seconds.

"I don't know where you came from, what world you dropped out of but here you will behave especially as my future woman. You can act like this now but as soon as I regain my strength, we will be going back to my realm. Act up like this and you will be killed do you understand?"

I nod my head again as he gets up and quickly leaves. Good lord, he's terrifying! Note to self, don't strip in front of him ever again! Not that I planned to but... I turn my head and look at the door he just walked through.

He just said something about going back to his realm? What does that mean? I suddenly have a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach... I need to find a way back now! I quickly finish my bath and dry off. Once I'm dressed I sit at the end of the bed and close my eyes.

Log off... log off! Over and over I try to log off but nothing I do works. Think Nova... If I'm stuck here... I need to find a way to survive. I need to get away from this devil... he seems like bad news. Plus I refuse to marry! The guy doesn't even like me! If anything, he barely tolerates me...

Wait... then why does he want to marry me? Suddenly the old lady walks in with a tray of food. She places it down on the table and says "Dinner is ready." I look over to her and say "Who is Bai Lei?" The old lady looks at me with a look of disbelief as she says "Stop playing around and eat your dinner!" She huffs and quickly leaves.

I stare at her retreating back with a blank look. I blink my eyes several times in confusion "Did I look like I was playing?" Sighing I throw myself back on the bed. I look up at the top of the canopy bed as I try to think about my entire situation.

Okay... if this was a real world... if I somehow traveled here through the game, I need to learn how to survive. I feel like Bai Lei is someone who will be trouble in the near future so I need to get away. I push myself up and walk over to the food.

I slowly eat the food as I begin to seriously think of a plan of escape. I'm not very strong but I'm fast... The next few days went by in a blur, all I could do was think of my plan of escape. Bai Lei had come by several times but I remained quiet and "well behaved" He seemed to like the new changes.

The night he had guest visiting I used it as my means to escape. After the old lady checked to make sure I was asleep she quietly blows out the candles and closes the door. After waiting a few minutes I quietly slip out of bed and get dressed.

I would have loved to be able to dress like a guy again but all I had were these dresses. I packed two of them in a small bag before climbing out of the window. After another thirty minutes or so I find the front gates to the entire manor.

I look around to make sure it's clear before casually walking out the gates. Two guards by the large front gate look over to me. I nod my head elegantly at them and they quickly returned the gesture. If I went sneaking out or running they would definitely suspect something but if I walk out calmly I'll blend right in with the guest Bai Lei currently has here.

I calmly walk down the large stone steps with a frown. How had he brought me here in the first place? We were in the middle of the woods... suddenly we're here, in what looked like a city of some kind. I walk down the street at a relaxed pace as others walk past me in cheerful chatter. I stop and turn back to look at the large estate. He definitely wasn't normal...
