First let me get hold of katherine the next day I go to office. She has to give a lot of answers to me.
I made my mom’s favorite dinner and apologized to her.
I felt so warm and comfortable after my mom came home that I decided to keep Damon aside for sometime.
I took a week's leave from my office and started sending time with my mom
‘Life is so good and happy when she is around me'
After a week I rejoined the office, on reaching there I saw no one.
My fellow colleagues, office staff...nobody was there...I looked eveverywhere
Our new boss Mr.Chris..even his cabin was empty.
Drop dead silence
Suddenly the air started to smell like rotten eggs, exactly the same that I had felt in my dream inside the house.
“ Cait....”, the masochistic voice called me out again
For once I thought my heart has stopped beating. I didn’t want to look back, I shut my eyes closed, sweating and trembling, I wished it was not what I was thinking.
An icy cold hand touched my shoulder and I knew this was my end. I opened my eyes and could feel that my body was getting numb and my hands were turning pale. I could feel I was freezing from inside.
‘No no no.......I cannot let this happen..’
I removed the hand from my shoulder with anger and turned around.
As expected, it was Damon.
‘ Was I dreaming again!?’, I thought
“What happened...why are you so angry!?”,
“Damon what’s wrong with you...what has happened to you?”
“Nothing that concerns you", his eyes burning glow
It was for the first time that I looked into his eyes and got scared.
I wanted to run away but he was in my way.
“Please let me go...”
He smiled sternly
“I need you...remember...how can I let you go!?”
I noticed that Damon’s face was more alive, he had a very vibrant glow on his face but still he had a certain paleness in him.
His lively face was much different from the Damon that I had seen in my dream.
“Come with me..”, said his arrogant voice.
My heart said to me that this was my end but my mind said, ‘run for your life’ .
Gaining all my strength I tried to push him away and run but he got hold of me and banged my head up against the wall so hard that all I could remember in my semi consciousness was , Damon dragging me towards his car...throwing me on his backseat and then my vision got completely blank......
After a long time when my senses started to work again...I slowly opened my eyes...my hands and mouth were tied...I tried to look outside the window, the place looked familiar to me--- I was in volterra.
He pulled me out from his car and dragged me towards the darkness of his evil home. This time the house haunted me even more.
Struggling to get out of his grip was useless. He took me to his room upstairs and threw me on the broken wooden floor and rushed towards an opened coffin.
The room was shabby with huge slit drapes on the windows and was awfully stinking.
‘ Was he going to bury me alive!!!...but why.....’
Suddenly I felt a nourishing touch on my head. With my hands and mouth tied, it was very difficult for me to move but I managed to look up.
It was katherine!
For the first time ever I was so happy to see katherine...
“Sshhh....”, at once she started speaking
“We don’t have much time...listen to me carefully. Years ago our family adopted Damon, but soon we realized that he did something to our mom. People said he infected her but soon afterwards I realized that he has turned my mom into a vampire. In order to save Chris I sent him far away for studies but he got hold of me. I died a very painful death. He wanted to kill me because I was a pure soul and then take my blood and give a new life to his lover
‘ K A S D E Y A’
And he did so but it was in vain... along with a pure soul he needed a look alike of his lover which I was not but you are Cait
I heard him say that he has waited for this day for thousand years.
Cait...he is going to kill you. He needs your blood, your soul, your life.
And he needs to make Kasdeya alive before the first ray of sun touches them, else they will be condemned to hell forever.
It’s half past five...please Cait...fight till your last breath...fight till dawn...don’t give up your life before the first ray of sun touches Damon....because once Kasdeya is alive again...she will bring darkness forever.... she will destroy the entire mankind. She is over powerful...nothing can stop her.
This was the reason why my soul kept warning you.
So tell me...will you fight Damon till the dawn?...”
Katherine’s eyes looked at me with immense hope.
In my front I could see Damon preparing the weapon to kill me and give Kasdeya a new life
I blinked both my eyes in assurance.
“You are indeed your mom’s brave girl", smiled katherine
She vanished in the darkness
I was all alone with this evil now.
I searched here and there for something that will help me to cut my ropes.
My hands felt broken pieces of glasses
I took one and tried to cut my ropes, also keeping an eye on Damon. I looked towards the backdoor of the room
Slowly I stood up and started walking, making sure I make no sound.
While moving I accidentally stepped on a broken glass, crying with pain and fear, keeping it low, I managed to escape through the backdoor.
It was a
