HUNTING LOVE

"Our little kiddo grew up so suddenly."

Agnes was crying yet was deep down happy. Their not-so little daughter was now going to start her own practical life.

They blessed her again when the driver came to fetch her outside the church gate.

A white limousine was waiting for the newly wed bride.

"Where"s Blayze, why haven"t he came ?"

Jairus inquired the driver out loud. Who became puzzle as sweat popped out from his forehead.

"Sir, master send me to bring his wife. He-he"s out for an urgent meeting."

Jairus wanted his anger to burst out on the driver. As his eyes began to glow red and fangs about to shine out when Agnes held his arm and rubbed his chest. She sure knew how to control her husband"s anger by now.

"You take her now to Xavier mansion."

Agnes ordered the driver who nodded in response. Took a few steps backward, afraid of Jairus he glanced at him hesitantly. Sure the whole world by now knew that this greatest billionaire is a vampire.

Agnes kissed her daughter on forehead & Jairus hugged her. And Uri left for Xavier mansion.

"Good bye mum.

Good bye dad."

She waved from the car as she left with the driver.

---------------

The total drive was of half an hour from the church towards the mansion. Uri kept on glancing at the driver. Who seemed to be kind hearted, yet young.

Drenched in someone else"s memories she sobbed from time to time. With closed eyes, her mascara melted down in the small streams of charcoal from her eyes towards her pink cheeks.

Her love life ended___though it never started properly. Uri sighed gazing out of the window towards the huge building by which they just pa.s.sed.

The driver perhaps got irritated or got her feelings so took the courage to speak.

"Madame don"t worry master is a nice man. It"s just he"d to do some work so left. He sure will keep you happy."

"Hm. Hope so."

Was all she replied in a weak voice.

How could she imagine or what she"d imagine about the guy whom she"d never seen before. He just appeared with a mask on his face upto his eyes, covering his all features, almost full face.

He vowed & accepted her as his bride. And then vanished from the church placing a kiss on her forehead. During these a few moments she"d just seen his eyes__honey colored.

She settled back and the next minutes pa.s.sed quietly. Didn"t knew when she fell asleep. And the striking voice of the driver woke her up.

"We"ve reached madam."

Uri stepped out as the driver opened the door. And a palace was waiting for her !



Sure Blayze was rich but it was huge___magnificent.

Yet beautiful and yes of course dream like.

Don"t know what overcame her Uri became gloomy though she was amazed & happy a few moments ago when she saw the majestic castle.

It was evening & the driver showed her way in. A number of servants were standing in a line. As she entered they all bowed to her.

The senior one__Isabella greeted and introduced her to other servants.

Uri stood there dumbfounded as she felt herself like a princess but she was the Rapunzel trapped in this huge castle !

".....and this is Peterson, the driver."

Uri"s ear caught this name and she glanced at the driver. He was quite manly with handsome features. Everyone was friendly except their master Blayze. Who was cold as a glacier.

Uri was led towards her room. And she was informed that her in-laws will come late as they"ve another important marriage to attend.

Uri felt a pang of pain & her heart sank further. Maybe she wasn"t important to anyone here. Blayze left her in this vast palace & now her in-laws went out too. Maybe she was destined to be alone & trapped here forever.

Isabella kept on talking while she strided with Uri towards her room.

Controlling her tears she felt herself worthless. Her parents forced her to marry a person whom she didn"t love. She protested & asked more time to find that man she truly loves. But they were consistent as Uri would turn 24 her vampiric senses will start to rise. She"ll need a mate then. Little they both knew that her transformation was already began which neither Uri imagined nor she knew.

The whole castle was designed in modern way from side. The color schemes were somewhat royal but Uri found the maroon & blue combination gloomy.

Isabella opened the door & Uri went in. She felt a shudder don"t know why. The room wasn"t cold. Maybe fear of a stranger overcame her.

"Your clothes are in the cupboard dear. Other accessories are also placed. If you need anything just ring that bell."

Isabella pointed out which Uri nodded with a weak smile.

"Master will be back soon dear. I"ll take my leave."

And she left. Isabella was working here from 15 years now she was in her fifties. A graceful old lady warm & with motherly vibes.

Uri was left alone now. The room was decorated with roses. Sweet fragrance was in the air along with the smell of incense sticks. Everything was neatly placed. Maybe Blayze was crazy about neatness.

The walls were dipped into ash color quite resembling to her current state.

Uri sat by the side of bed and cried. She cried upon her fate till her eyes became red and she fell asleep.

------------

"Why this stupid woman is sleeping on our wedding night."

Blayze wasn"t in a good mood when he entered but it became worse when he saw Uri sleeping on the edge of the bed.

Intentionally he made a noise by breaking an expensive flower vase. And immediately Uri opened her eyes.

"Ww-why the lights are off ?"

She questioned in a frightful voice.

To her horror Blayze growled in response.

"I cut the light out."

His cold & stern voice strike her ears and her heart raced faster.

"Ww-why ?"

"I didn"t wanted my prey to get scared and runaway."

He laughed wickedly.

"Ww-what do you mean ? "

Uri gulped her fear as in the darkness it was only that devil"s voice she"d hear.

"Ah !  You poor girl.

Don"t worry I"ll keep you with me, trapped here forever."

And he let out a loud laugh.

The storm outside went high as the lightening pierced the sky and laughed out loud.

The clouds wept at her fate and the h.e.l.l mocked at her with the lightening which  welcomed the damsel into palace of devil !

"Blayze...."

Her lips muttered with fear in a low tone which was audible in that quiet room.

"Don"t ever speak my name again !"

He yelled in rage and threw another vase in the wall. Which shattered into small pieces.

Uri kept her hand on her mouth, terrified. Though she couldn"t see anything in the dark but her heart was pounding as if was about to explode.

Blayze at once leaped towards her holding by shoulders he badly pushed her and Uri"s back touched the side table.

A bolt of lightening strike illuminating the room for a few seconds and Uri glanced at the person in front of her.

A burned face___his right cheek was badly burned till his lip corner. Veins visible in that area. Extreme grey lifeless eyes thowing spades of hatred___cold & ruthless. Blayze was indeed a reincarnation of devil !

"Aaahh !"

Uri tried to snap but Blayze pinned her by holding her wrists. Her heart sank further in despair her husband was cold & ruthless she knew. But he was ugly in addition.

Another bolt of lightening laughed at her condition and Blayze whispered in her ear emphasizing every single word.

"DON"T EVER TRY TO ESCAPE FROM ME. OR I"LL TURN INTO SOMETHING YOU WON"T LIKE. AND DON"T DARE TO SPEAK TO ANYONE  !"

And again silence crept into the atmosphere. Uri didn"t knew what to say or how to react. Her life was going to be h.e.l.l with this man. Tears left her eyes and kissed her cheeks. Though being a vampire she"s was emotional & don"t know anything about her gifts. A weak vampire indeed.

"Do you understand ?"

Blayze yelled his voice echoing in the vast room.

Uri felt chill down to her spine a shudder by his cold words. Still she managed to reply him somehow.

"Yy-yes"

Her voice so weak unfamiliar to herself.

"Good !"

And he left the room.

The tense atmosphere lowered down as the devil left the room. Uri felt like seeing nightmare. But it was true__very much true.

She was now the wife of Blayze Xavier___the devil. Who is going to make her life h.e.l.l & will treat her like NOTHING.

Uri cried again, burning her past down she decided to accept her fate.

"I-I can"t tell anyone about this. Mum, Dad, Xander I can"t tell anyone about this. I"m not going to make them worry."

Her voice hitched in the room as the sky cried with her in the grief.
