Ryan took another step in the direction a disgusting smell was coming from. Ryan was about to go further in that direction, but Gwen called him.

"Ryan, where are you going? This way!" Ryan turned around, he saw Gwen behind him looking at him, she stretched out her arm and pointed in front of her.

"Y- yeah," Ryan let go of the smell and went behind Gwen. They both continued running straight ahead till they reached the dead end.

"I think this will be safe enough," Gwen muttered, she threw herself down and sat on the ground in the corner.

"Are we.. sitting here? I mean, we can just wait till someone comes and then hide-"

"So you do not want to sit with me, is that it?" Gwen looked at Ryan from the top of her eyes.

"N- no. I mean-" Ryan sighed, "Fine." Gwen smiled. Ryan took a step forward and threw himself down on the ground.

Inside the gloomy, dark Cinderella castle which was the total opposite of what it is right now a few minutes ago. No lights were turned on, Gwen had even switched off her mobile phone's torch.

Here they were, sitting in the big, empty, dark castle with no light, no food, no water, no resources but the fear of being found out.

Ryan was sitting silently and staring at the space, he felt something touch his thigh, "I always wanted to do it," He heard Gwen muttered beside him.

"What-" Ryan's voice disappeared, he lost his senses. Gwen moved her hand over Ryan's thigh, up and down. She then gave them a tight squeeze.

"I can not believe I am doing this while our lives are in danger," Gwen shook her head.

"What are you doing?" Ryan managed to ask. Gwen moved her hand away, Ryan was not able to see clearly in the dark.

"Just what I should be doing, or should have done." Ryan felt Gwen's voice closer to him. Although he could not see, he could sense.

"No, seriously, this is not the right time-" his voice choked in his throat again.

Gwen threw her hand over Ryan's guts. She moved them up to his abdomen, then his abs. Slowly going upwards as if a reptile moving on your body, Gwen's hand reached Ryan's chest.

Ryan could not muster up the courage to push Gwen away, like, he was enjoying it himself.

Ryan believed that this is not the right thing for doing dirty things. He actually wanted to push Gwen away and stop it right now.

Ryan started turning his head in Gwen's direction, Gwen was coming closer to Ryan herself, Ryan could feel her warm breathes on his neck.

"Gwen-" Their lips met. Gwen's head was right beside Ryan's. As soon as Ryan turned his face to face Gwen, their lips met.

Gwen did not hold back, she pushed her hands deep into Ryan's chest, she threw them through under his shirt. Then she pulled her hand out.

Gwen got up from the ground without pulling her lips away from Ryan. She was the only one kissing him right now, this all was too much for Ryan to handle, he could not kiss Gwen back.

Gwen got on her knees, she threw her left leg around Ryan's legs, one leg on the right, another on the left. She was standing on her knees in front of Ryan.

Her hands went up to Ryan's face, she grabbed his jawline, pulled his face closer, finally, she dropped herself down on Ryan's lap. Her thick thighs were now touching Ryan's little buddy, his.. you know.

[ I can not take the risk to type that word here. God knows in what fucking way the people reading this book will get offended. Some might even get offended at me for writing this note. Enjoy. Some just do not like this. ]

"I- I- I can- I can not wait no longer," Gwen pulled her lips apart from Ryan's lips and whispered in Ryan's ear.

"No.." he stood there overwhelmed by all of this happening to him.

'I literally feel like I am being raped.' Ryan thought monotonously in his mind.

Gwen was about to push herself into Ryan once more when a disgusting burst of smell brought Ryan back to his senses.

"Wait," Ryan brought his palm in between his and her lips, "What is this smell?" Ryan asked.

"Who cares." Gwen pulled Ryan's arm down and kissed him one more time.

"N- no, wait. Seriously, kissing in this smell feels like I am kissing that smell, so please wait!" Ryan pushed Gwen away.

Gwen dropped down on Ryan's laps but did not move away from him, "Man, what is wrong?" she asked.

"Do you smell that?"

"No,"

"You really do not? It is such a disgusting smell!" Ryan pushed Gwen further away and got up from the floor.

Gwen clicked her tongue in annoyance, 'This is the problem with men.' She thought. Gwen pulled herself off the ground.

"I need to check it, it is just too disgusting."

"What does it smell like?" Gwen asked, she patted per butt and thighs after getting off the floor. Gwen pressed her dress back down and pulled her black jeans down a little bit.

"Similar to the smell of a died mouse," Ryan replied.

"Then it may be a mouse, what is wrong with that?"

"No, this smell is worse than a rotten rat," Ryan added.

"Then? What do you plan on doing?" Gwen asked as she came forward and stood beside Ryan, "Want to check it out?" Gwen asked.

Ryan nodded, "Hm," he looked down at Gwen, "If you could please turn on your mobile's-" The flashlight lit on.

"Let us go, where is it coming from?" Gwen moved forward and asked Ryan, she held the flashlight in front of her.

"Straight ahead, from another corner of this floor maybe."

"Are you sure though?" Gwen asked, she started moving in the direction directed by Ryan.

"No.."

"Okay," Gwen nodded and continued walking ahead, "Inform me when we get closer," Ryan nodded and continued walking behind Gwen.

Gwen took a pause, turned around, and asked Ryan, "Ahead?" when they reached the staircase.

"Yeah, closer but.. not close enough."

"Tch, I am here smelling rats instead of smelling Ryan," Gwen murmured under her breath.

Ryan's eye went wide, 'She wants to do it even in this situation?' Ryan wanted to ask her but, it would not be polite, would it?

"Still not close? We are past the staircase."

"No. the smell is coming from right in front of us but it is still far from us," Ryan informed.

"We will be approaching the end corner of this floor soon. If both sides are built similarly, that is." Gwen told him.

Ryan sniffed a few times, "Hm. We care close," Ryan informed.

"Yeah, you are right, even I can smell it now," Gwen grabbed her nose, "Man~ this surely is worse than a rotten rat's smell," Gwen replied in a nasal voice.

"And now imagine kissing me under this smell,"

"I can. I can kiss you even now, this smell does not bother me by one percent. I am ready to kiss you anywhere, anytime.."

Ryan was surprised at Gwen's reply. He never imagined anyone would want to kiss with this gross smell around them.

'So this is how men usually fail to satisfy women.' Ryan nodded, he came to his own conclusion, 'Do not worry. I will do you some better,' Ryan decided with determination.

"Ah! I can not take this anymore," Gwen stopped walking, "Can we go back?"

"Yes, after we see what it is,"

"No, Ryan, this smell is killing me!" Gwen turned her head back.

"Close, it is close, just a few more steps!" Ryan encouraged Gwenn to continue walking.

"Tch, this is the worst smell I have ever smelled." Gwen declared.

After walking a few more feet, Ryan brought himself to a stop, "Right here, stop." Ryan ordered Gwen.

"Here?" Gwen asked by pointing her finger down at the floor.

"No, in front of you. Right in front of you, move your flashlight straight ahead." Ryan instructed.

Gwen did as follows. Her torch light slowly fell on something in front of them and the first thing that appeared.

"Fuck!" Ryan took a step back.

"Oh, God!" Ryan moved away from the place. She landed against a railing, reading to poke anytime.

"What the fuck is this?" Ryan asked, he could not manage to pull his eyes off the thing in front.

"Here, take the flash," Gwen who was still standing away from Ryan, held out her mobile to Ryan.

Ryan grabbed the flashlight and gulped, preparing himself to deal with the worst.

In front of them was a dead body. It looked like a decaying matter. Its skin was falling off, its hair was drained down, its eyeballs were fallen, there was a big dip in the place of its guts.

Gwen could not take it any longer, she threw up from the railings, down on the floor of the entrance.

There were pests moving inside out the dead body, rats, insects, lizards, and flies covered the dead decaying corpse.
