The footsteps following me sounded closer. I ran through the empty corridors of the hospital, my heart pounding with terror.
I turned a corner and stopped short. I had reached a dead end.

"Shit," I screamed.
It was the end. There was no way to run. I could hear him saying my name aloud as if it would calm me down.

"Oh, here you are," he said, pleased to find me hunched up into the corner. He smiled and rubbed his hands together.

"This won't pain, Avery," he said taking out the long injection which was filled with some unknown, black liquid.

"Please, Maven I would do anything, just don't...don't inject me with that," I cried in horror.

I knew what would happen afterward. I wouldn't be able to remember anything. I wouldn't remember Sarah, Ash, or anyone. I would be his forever.
That thought made me want to kill myself.

He came closer and kneeled beside me, taking my hand in his.
"Avery, I love you. I would burn this whole world and dig into the ashes just to find you," he said. He then placed a kiss on my hand.

His other hand came down on my waist and pulled me closer. He leaned over and whispered into my ear.

"I would never leave you, Avery," he said, his lips brushed my ear. I shivered.

I tried pushing him away, tried to run but he had gripped my hand tightly.

"No," I screamed. It was of no use. It was his kingdom and he was the king and if anybody dared to lift a finger upon his act, he would be sure that that person would be burned alive, mocked my thousands of his believers.

I felt the needle puncturing my skin, I felt that liquid run through my veins and I knew that I had lost. I screamed again, louder this time.

He released the grip on my hand. I looked at him as my vision doubled and I toppled over. His hand came in, catching me before I could hit the marble floor.

I tried to focus on his face but it wasn't much of a help. He smiled as he lightly traced my lips with his thumb. He picked me up and gently placed me on the hospital bed and kissed me on the forehead.

He again came closer, so close that I felt the warmth of his skin.
"Now you're mine forever. My queen forever," he whispered in my ear.

That was the last thing I heard before I went into a deep sleep.
