Chapter 3
When I finally opened my eyes, I almost wished I hadn’t. That was it. I too had been taken like the rest. I was in a completely unfamiliar place. It was what appeared to be the inside of a hut made of hay. I was actually lying on hay, save for the fact that there was a rough cloth spread over it. In the middle of the hut, unlike a fire place which I had expected, I found a hammock. And that was as far as my eyes could see. But it was enough, because inside the hammock Caeden Valour was asleep. Perhaps this was my only chance of escape.
I quickly got to my feet, realizing I still wore my ball gown. Not the most discrete attire, I had to admit. But I had no choice in the matter. I walked toward the hut’s opening, and exited easily. I was almost surprised at how effortless it all was. Of course, I should have realized it then. It would not be that easy to get away. I could not just walk out and leave. And as I saw the nothingness surrounding me, I realized that if I left now, I could never make it home. A vast field was stretching in every direction, the hut appeared to be in the middle of it. In the middle of nowhere, to be precise. This was not Cot Island. I did not recognize this place. There was something strange in the air, something almost unearthly. It smelled differently. Strange. It smelled of danger.
‘Going somewhere, princess?’ Someone said behind my back. I turned around and looked at Caeden. Really looked at him for the first time. Concentrated on something else rather than those horrible grey eyes, that were as terrifying as beautiful. He was sure not your typical boy band guy. He was tough. He had the body of a warrior, with large, muscled hands and a square frame. He was tall too, towering over me by at least half a foot. He had dark brown hair in bad need of a haircut, sticking out messily in every direction. And those grey eyes.
‘You do know that kidnapping someone constitutes a crime.’ I said.
‘I hardly kidnapped you, considering your own father had this arranged.’
Why was it that every time he spoke, he left me speechless? He just blurted out shocking truths, making me unable to come up with a reply.
‘Won’t you tell me what’s going on?’ I said.
‘You have to save us.’ He said. For the first time he looked weak, pleading.
Now, I was really lost.
‘Save you from what? And who is us?’
‘Perhaps you haven’t noticed Cordelia, but you’re not on Cot Island anymore.’
‘Oh, I have noticed, thank you very much.’ I said, sarcasm dripping from my voice.
‘Well, you’re not on Earth, either.’ He said.
I blinked.
‘Okay.’ I said. ‘That’s great.’ I knew that when in a dangerous situation, one had to remain calm. Panic was not an option. Obviously, this Caeden boy wasn’t all there. Perhaps if I humored him he would be discouraged from using violence.
‘Okay, Caeden. Where are we?’ I asked.
He smirked.
‘You don’t believe me, do you?’
‘I do.’ I said quickly. I wonder if he had any idea how quickly my heart was beating at that very second. Or how I’d started sweating under the suddenly itchy material of my dress. Keep calm. Keep calm. Keep calm.‘Look behind you.’ He said, bored.
I did. I stood in shock for quite a few minutes as I watched the action unfold before my eyes. In front of our hut, a pretty butterfly was flying around. At first, I thought Caeden was joking, but then I noticed something strange. The butterfly distorted its shape becoming thinner and longer, until it just appeared to be a gleam of light, save for the slight fluttering on the sides- a reminiscent of the wings. Soon, it began to take new shape, that of a human. A thin woman emerged, entirely white with the exception of her black pupils; I looked at her in awe.
‘Hello, Seed.’ She said. Her voice was different to anything I had ever heard.
I didn’t speak. I was afraid I’d scream if I opened my mouth.
‘We have waited eons for your arrival.’
This was just my imagination.
‘You know what, if I really wasn’t on Earth, you wouldn’t be speaking English.’
‘Well, that is what you’re here to fix. See, we have been enslaved by someone from your planet. Someone who has tried to wipe out our heritage and has taught us your language, in an effort to make us pleasing to him. You must destroy him.’
I could not believe this was happening.
‘Don’t worry, Cordelia.’ Caeden said. ‘I’ll help.’
‘This is too much.’ I said, falling to my knees and burying my head in my hands. I was still wearing the ball gown. It was a sad reminder of my ignorant existence. Ignorance is bliss. How very true.
Because, just like Caeden is manages to make Cordelia speechless every time he spoke, you make me speechless every time you write another chapter. That's an important skill in writing, because surprise is a great way to keep the reader's interest up. 
Just read this sentence, and tell me if you, yourself can imagine the women if read only this sentence.
