(Page 6) Do i need to make the introductions?

I could feel my cheeks getting wet and hotter with the tears and the screams of utter pain."Ngh--!" Without meaning to, my body curled into something fetal, something primeval. The pain was increasing in waves, small lulls giving false hope of an end. Each wave took my ability to speak and think, leaving me only with the option of screaming. It seared through my whole body better than a branding iron, my mind conceding to the torment, unable to bring a thought to completion. It was as though my blood had become acid, intent of destroying me from the inside out. I felt so weak, so defenseless, so powerless before him that i end up whishing he would put me out of my misery.

Regardless my stupid thought, i was fortuned to blackout from all the pain he was making me experience; thank God for that.

It was after a few hours that i once again became aware of the height of my body. I opened my eyes; i was laying down on the corner floor of some room. "Where..." I looked around, trying to figure out to where i was taken; that was definitely not the hallway i had been before seconds ago. My vision was still blurry, so i couldn't discern in which room i was in whatsoever.  "Ugh..." That was irrelevant, I just needed to get out of there... away from those things. Slowly I tried to get up but, soon enough realized how futile it was when, I had to bite my lip to keep from crying out. My head throbbed, colorful spots flashed in front of my eyes and my injured arm still pulsated in utter pain. I felt like my whole body had been beaten and every movement caused some muscle or bone to ache. Wincing In pain I started to grab the corner wall to help me pull myself up, and tried once more.

"Oh oh~ Look who's finally awake." A man's voice echoed. It's timbre sent a cold shiver down my spine. It wasn't necessary to raise my head to figure out whose voice it belonged to. "I was afraid Cyran had been too rough on you." He said, toying with my mixed feelings incited by the whole ordeal i was enveloped. "But i'm glad to see that yo--...." I heard his voice trail off in the distance.

My mind was starting to fail, like an engine that turns over and over, never kicking into action. I couldn't formulate a single and consistent thought. I was full aware that an uncalculated action could lead to death or even more pain. And i couldn't stop myself from thinking that there was no way out of this castle. No way out. I gradded the edges of the wall firmely as I hesitantly and slowly tried to raise myself up. My feet trembled and my legs twitched. I glanced at the only visible exit, no door-trap. My eyes went to the walls, the windows were closed, but without the iron grille that the windows from where i was cloistered had. I breathed in relief. There was a chance after all. I didn't even bother to look at my kidnapper, i just went to proclaim my liberty. So, I released the wall and, still trumbling a bit, took each step towards the door.

"Oh~ You're not staying?" Stefano faked a small whine. "We were having such a great time together, the both of us." It was obvious the true connotation beyond his statement, he was not a good person.

Fear curled up inside me and clung to my ribs, settling uncomfortably in my chest. I didn’t doubt the feeling was there to stay, reminding my of its existence every time i opened my mouth to breathe. I knew very well of what he was capable of doing.

"I thought i could count you for dinner... I even asked the maid to set a plate for you at the table." He said in a sarcastic tone. "So stay, dear Angella. Please, give me the satisfaction of your company."

I gathered all my remaining strength and courage, and tried to mask the fear I was feeling at all costs in my answer. "Sorry, but i have an appointment to attend to." It was like i said. I have stayed long enough, i wasn't going to stay more. I continued walking. I was almost at the door when he said.

"Oh~ It is indeed such a shame." He said. "A peticular heart will be shattered. He made a long way to see you, 'ya know?"

That was enough! Enough of Psychological blackmails! Completly overboard and empowered with fear and frustration, I turned back and shouted at him with all my might. "Why are you doing this?! Why don't you let me go?! I don't want to stay and be you little--...!" I stopped myself from shouting at him. Though my eyes were wide open I couldn't believe in what i was seeing. How? How was that even possible?! My heart was pounding nonstop, and mind was filled with contradictory thoughts and images. Silent took place for a brief moment.  

"Well... Do i need to make the introductions?" Stefano's voice finally broke the sudden silence.
