Elle stood there in utter shock for a moment. But she soon struggled and tried to get away but Elijah's grip on her seemed impossible to escape from. It was as though his hold was comparable to an iron cuff around her wrist.

Chills ran through her being as she felt him move her hair off her neck. She needed to get away. Immediately!! But her fear was so paralyzing, and he was too strong.

"Se… Sebastian's going to… to go after you… if you… if you do something… to me…" Elle stammered, gritting her teeth.

"I'm sure he will…" was his response.

"P-please… let me go, Prince Elijah." She finally begged, realizing that she could not escape from his hold no matter how she tried. It seems that she was right all along, no matter how much she trained, she still could not do anything in reality. She was still so powerless against these very strong men. It was so unfair… that these men were just too strong.

"I have told you, haven't I? I will let you go. After this…" came his dark whisper and then his hand was on her jaw again, tilting her face up.

The next thing she knew, his mouth was latched onto her throat, sucking hard.

Elle gasped out loud at the unexpected indecent assault on her and she struggled violently from his hold, not caring how her arm twisted in pain at her desperate movements.

He loosened his grip on her and the moment he pulled away a strong punch hit his jaw. And then a kick followed, hitting him right in his chest, causing him to tumble on the ground in a heap.

"Wow!" he glanced at the fiery woman standing, panting before him. "I didn't know that you're –"

Another vicious kick landed on Elijah's face and then another. Elle came at him with rage and Elijah did not bother to fight back, defended himself or even dodged each fierce attack. He had just let her hit him until Elle was heaving and out of breath. There were two bright red spots high on her cheeks as her eyes glared at him with a deadly quality.

"Why… why did you that?!" she shouted at him, looking down at the man on the ground, still clenching her fists. Her eyes felt as though they were burning hot. Her entire body was still shaking from the explosion of anger.

Elijah propped himself up and sat. He wiped something off his face which Elle knew should be his own blood. She still could not quite see his face clearly save from the gleaming grey eyes. It was not the full moon, and the moonlight was not enough for her to see his face.

"Hmm…" he looked up for a while and cracked his neck, causing Elle to become alert again, ready to kick his face once again if he dared to make another move on her. He should not be able to still look so relaxed anymore after all the beatings she had given him! She was certain her rage had unleashed her full strength a while ago. He should not be able to even sit up anymore after the vital points she had attacked! She had not been holding back at all and was even hitting with intention to hurt.

"I'm sorry for that unforgivable action, Princess Izabelle. Ah, I'm not asking for any forgiveness though." There was a peculiar smile in his tone.

"You didn't answer my question." Elle clenched her fists even tighter as she growled at him. "Why did you do that?!" she could still feel her skin crawl at the touch of his lips on her skin.

He then turned his face to her and his eyes glimmered. It was the kind of glimmer that would be enough to paralyze anyone. That moment, Elle felt as though danger was right at her doorstep. "I…" he paused and stood.

Elle could not move. Something seemed to happen to her when he looked at her with those unsettling, indescribable gaze. She could not even take a step back. It was as if she was suddenly stuck in a dark spell, restraining her from any movements no matter how much she fought back.

He stopped a step before her. His gaze seemed to fall to her neck again. "Alright, I'll tell you, Princess Izabelle…" he bent closer and whispered, "What I want is for Sebastian to go… insane. I want him to… lose his mind… completely once again…" his soft voice had been wrapped with deep and undiluted hatred and malice as he said those last lines of his. She did not understand what he was saying but the emotions in his voice was enough to drive deep and bone-cold fear into her heart.

Pulling away, he stared deep into her fear-struck eyes. He could feel how her entire frame was frozen in fear.

"Good night, Sunshine. I'll be seeing you around soon." He uttered in a dark melodious voice before he walked past her. The light brush of weird fragrance that she realized only belonged to Elijah seemed to be the thing that snapped her out of her frozen stupor. She blinked a couple of times before realizing that she could now move.

Forcing herself, Elle turned around robotically but found that he was already gone. Her knees weakened and turned jelly-like before she fell to the ground. Panting hard at the ordeal she had just experienced.

She did not know how long she had spent just sitting there and panting. But soon, she finally forced herself to stand. She walked towards the direction that Elijah had disappeared to and she stumbled back to see that it was a steep cliff.

She took another deep, shaky breath, and she was about to turn around when someone grabbed her from behind and whipped her around. Just by the touch of those hands was enough for Elle to know who it was.

"What the hell are you doing here–" Sebastian broke off as his eyes fell to her neck.
