Rejected And Reclaimed novel Chapter 4

The darkness began to fade as I struggled to open my eyes. My head was pounding and my eyes were adjusting to the bright light as I took in my surroundings. I was in a new room, and this one only held a bed with white sheets, a dark brown dresser and a small book shelf in the corner with several books. I didn't understand what happened and why would I suddenly black out from the pain medicine, and another thing, how did I end up in a new room?

Once I felt like I was strong enough I decided to try and sit up. Managing to get myself sitting to where my feet were touching the ground I give my self a few moments before I push myself up so I can walk to the door. Turning the door knob I noticed it wasn't locked, thank the goddess. I didn't hear anything through the house so I was hoping nobody would be home. Trying to stay quiet I moved slowly down a hallway towards what I was assuming was my way out.

Finally reaching the door I opened it and saw that it was busy outside so I didn't know how I would managed to sneak past everyone. As I stepped out of the doorway a hand wrapped around my ankle, startled I looked and saw a handsome man sitting by the door way. He had messy dirty blonde hair, honey brown eyes and a sweet smile on his face.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not supposed to let you run away", he said in such a friendly tone.

"I don't understand where I am and what happened", I replied.

As he stood I noticed how he towered over me, having to lift my head to look at him I said, "Can you help me since I can't leave?"

"How about we get something to eat then we can take a walk and I will answer any questions you have?"

As he said that my stomach growled loudly bringing a small smile to his face. Before I went to get something to eat with him I wanted to know his name, so I asked him.

He seemed schocked but replied,"Damian, and may I ask yours?"

"Lilith", I mumbled, "Where are we going to eat?"

Not answering me he just took my hand and led me towards a cabin that was longer and wider than the rest. I had a feeling that I needed to pull my hand away, but another part was feeling comforted by his hand holding mine. As he opened the door and led me through that is when he finally let go of my hand and I noticed the cabin was a dining hall. The smell made my hunger grow stronger if that was possible, and as I followed him towards a long table that had some muffins and fruit I started thinking about why he was being nice to me instead of locking me back in the room that I was at.
