"Bloodthirsty One"

He carried her from all the way to her room.
When he reached inside the room he locked the door first.
Then he laid her unconscious body on the bed very carefully like a piece of marshmallow she was.
He did not panic, seeing her losing her consciousness because he had seen it coming already. And it was not his first time seeing someone losing their senses. Because he often saw this happen to people because of his fear.
So, it was normal to behave this way after facing this kind of situation, for his little one.
He checked her pulse. It was normal, meaning, she was just sleeping now. She'd be fine when she gets up in the morning. He assumed.
Rayven grabbed her frail feet and gently freed them from heels. He grabbed the covers and pulled them over her, more likely tucked her into it.
He wanted to leave there but was forced by his heart and then stopped.
"If she wakes up before dawn and needs me then? His heart spoke to him.
"If she wakes up in the morning and sees me here, she will be furious!" This time his brain said.
"I will worry about her after I leave here!" Rayven thought, staring at her little unconscious figure.
Whatever it is, if I want to say, I will stay. I have not come under anyone's pressure till today, so what will this small fragile soul do to me? Rayven playfully smiled.
Then he removed his jacket and shirt. Now he was only in his pants and singlet.
Next thing he did, he hopped onto the bed and moved her close to him in his embrace leaving no space in between.
"You are taking advantage of the situation, Rayven" his inner voice called him but he totally ignored because he was not afraid of anyone's father but she was a fragile soul of his.
He had trouble falling asleep, but surprisingly, the soft smell of Emilia's hair was lulling him into the valleys of sleep.
A few moments later he had descended into the valleys of sleep, alienated from everything around him.
He was holding her in his embrace all night long.
Emilia's eyes flickered open with an unfamiliar feeling.
She had no idea how long she had been unconscious.
She sat up on the bed and looked around worriedly.
She realized that she was in the same room Rayven had prepared for her.
She felt dizzy and confused!!
Her eyes wandered to the window. it was dark outside!!
"Had she spent the whole day sleeping or was it still night? Her mind just refused to work at the moment.
Suddenly all the memories started coming back to her mind.
"Gunfire, blood, loud noises, his devilish laugh"
The moment he shot Franco, that scene kept replaying in her mind.
She started to panic and felt afraid! She was unable to think straight at the moment. She was just thinking that someday he would kill her too.
He was the Mafia all last! And above it the bloodthirsty one!
Sweat began to form on her forehead even when the air conditioner was running efficiently.
In between panicking, suddenly, she felt something very soft and tangled in the grips of her fingers.
Whatever it was, it felt so good to run her fingers through it.
When Emilia tried to look closely, she realized that it was someone's hair.
Suddenly a bell rang in her mind that someone was enjoying the dream bunny besides her.
She jumped up from the bed with a shock and started fumbling with the light button.
When she managed to turn on the light, she turned her gaze to the bed to see who dared to sleep beside her.
"Rayven!" Her lips played his stiff with pride name.
She was already very scared and didn't know what his reaction would be if she woke him from sleep.
She couldn't even step out at this time of night. Because she well remembered that on looking out of the window she had seen six of the most dangerous dogs in the world roaming around in the garden area which was spread on all four sides of the mansion.
On one side was Rayven on the bed and on the other his hundred guards and dangerous dogs.
Now the will was her, on one side death was moving towards her very slowly while on the other side death was immediate!
Unwillingly, she chose her own slow death and slowly climbed onto the bed, but keeping a distance from Rayven.
She started to examine this dark angle face as sleep was not even around her and he was sleeping.
His hair seemed so silky and soft that anyone would want to touch it.!
Then the next moment unintentionally and subconsciously Emilia's hand was in his hairs as she started to comb his hairs with her delicate fingers.
"He looks so damn fine while sleeping!!!" She thought.
"How can one be so beautiful and possess all the virtues at the same time?" She asked herself.
While sleeping he looked just like a teenager looking for his lost love.
Suddenly Rayven changed his side and made her startle.
Emilia instantly withdrew her hand and luckily Rayven did not wake up. But surprisingly, he turned his side again to Emilia while still sleeping.
"Right now he is sleeping looking like a sweet child of a dark angel but in reality, He's a devil in disguise of a human"l!
Even thinking upon these lines Emilia couldn't help but admire his face! How tempting it looked! But why did she feel it was impossible to fall for him? Why couldn't she love him?
With those feelings in heart she reached out and was about to touch his face but-
Immediately as if on "high alert" his eyes snapped open and the next thing she knew,
Her hand was caught in Rayven's big one and he was looking at her with a piercing gaze while Emilia herself looked at him with her own startled wide eyes!
