Chapter Nine

Blake slammed the doors to the castle open, his eyes glowing a dark red with his demonic powers activating. The wood crashed against the stone walls, leaving a deafening sound echoing across the castle.

He didn’t take a second of hesitation to head up the stairs, boots crashing through the ground, leaving the stone to crack.

After storming up to Ella’s room, he threw the door open, the hinges breaking as it was thrown across the air.

“Ella.” His voice was deep and cold, he could hear the anger in his tone.

The bed was empty, so he scanned the room, searching for life.

“Ella, where are you?” he growled, though he tried so hard to calm his tone. He didn’t want her afraid... but he was pissed...

In the silence, Blake heard quiet whimpering... Almost as if it was muffled.

Then he walked further into the room, glancing around for signs of Ivy or Olivia.

When he moved passed the corner of the bed, there was a body sprawled across the floor.

A slight rush of cold ran up his spine, but he saw she was wearing a grey dress, and her hair was black. Though her originally golden eyes were shaded over with a dark grey

Not Ella...

Mia.

Blood was spattered across the floor from where she was, staining the blue rug red.

“Ella!” Blake screamed. “ELLA!”

Someone muffled a cry in the room, and Blake scanned the area. “Ella?”

The voice sounded as if it was sobbing, though he wasn’t sure.

When he turned to the desk in her room, there was a girl sitting on the floor. Her wrists were tied behind her back tightly, pinning her to the legs of the table. The ropes were making her creamy white skin glow an angry red, and there was blood dripping down her forehead, arms, and legs. Bruises scattered across her skin like she was hit several times.

“Ella!” he exclaimed. “Baby!”

Blake ran over to her. She flinched away when he reached for her. Her mouth was taped shut, though he could hear her muffled cries.

Clearly, she was trying to move away from him, but she was held so tightly to the desk that she couldn’t get very far.

“It’s okay,” Blake whispered. “It’s okay, Princess.”

Ella flinched away again when he tried to take the tape off her mouth.

“Princess...” he breathed. “It’s just me. Can you see me?”

Ella closed her lashes that stuck together with blood. She tried to sob something, but nothing auditable came out.

Blake saw tears slip down the length of her cheeks.

“Are they still here...?” He managed to calm his tone. “The people who hurt you?”

She shook her head, still trying to move away.

“It’s okay, Sweetheart,” Blake murmured. “You’re safe now.”

Her response were strangled sobs.

He reached for her again, and she started squirming, crying.

“I’m just going to take the tape off,” he assured her. “That’s all, Sweetheart. Will you let me?”

She was still for a moment, studying him. Then she nodded.

Blake pulled the tape off her mouth, making Ella gasp for air.

Ella’s eyes were wider than they’d ever been. She was crying, tears streaming down her blood stained cheeks.
