Kiss Of Death Chronicles

Chapter 2 - Careful Of What You Wish For

What a strange.. man? I tilted my head to side, off and on through dinner. Couldn't quite put my finger on it, but something was definitely off with this man. Sure, he was smart and handsome. All the women kept staring at us as we walked our way to the restaurant. Yet, there was this ache in pit of my stomach and something in back of my mind telling me, I should've declined this invitation. I made a note about him only eating a few bites, his eyes were icy blue with a hint of darkness beneath. His shaggy black locks fell in front of his face at times, it was that smile.

The smile of the devil hiding under the handsome exterior which worried me. He hadn't done anything out of the ordinary, hadn't even made a pass at me. Didn't say anything out of the way to get slapped. I was a respectful girl, was waiting til marriage. May have dressed sexy to show off my curves in this red dress, my lips matching it, and my locks blending in with it. But I liked this dress, didn't care what someone else thought of me in it, most certainly not a man who pushed around his food thinking no one would notice his lack of eating it.

A sudden slam into my shin from under the table caught my attention. "Owwwww!" I grinded my teeth together, glaring at Val. She motioned her head towards the bathroom. We excused ourselves, grabbing our purses and soon being inside there. Looking to my shin while she used the bathroom, I saw a light bruise already forming. "You know, you didn't have to kick so hard!" I explained sighing, going to the mirror and messing with my makeup. "And I thought you were taught better. Staring isn't polite, Heather." My eyes rolled back unamused. "Am I only one he seems to be giving off bad vibes too?" Shrugging, I pulled out my lipstick, reapplied it. "I think you are just hard on men. Can't seem to find one to deal with all that is.... well... Heather." Val admitted, flushing and coming out to join. "Yeah well. I am not just going to settle. Look at what my dad turned into." A alcoholic wasn't the kind of man I needed. I wanted someone who could handle the bad times with the good.

Twenty minutes, we were all leaving. Val and her boyfriend headed off in the opposite direction. While he had offered to take me home. Thankfully, this would be the last time I would go out with him. Done made up my mind. He wasn't a bad guy, just I couldn't shake off that creepy vibe he gave me. "This was fun." I threw into the silent, only able to hear the low wind blowing and insects around us. Unsure of the time, I was in a hurry to get home. Being off the next day, I could get a lot of chores done. "Yes it was. Care to take the longer way home?" He asked, brow raising to wait on an answer. "No, I need to get some sleep." He cleared his throat leaning in to whisper in my ear. "I want to show you something." Odd, how I wanted to obey him. My mind screamed needing me to disagree, and my legs were following him.

What the fuck was I doing? I wanted to scream for help, call out through the night hoping someone would come save me. But each time I opened my mouth, the sound of a squeaking mouse would come out. He had me, his arms around me and the strength of multiple men. I couldn't break loose. Pushing up my knee, connecting to his male area didn't make him move either. What was going on? How did I get here? What was he about to do to me?

It had happened so quickly, one moment we were walking through an alley, next he had turned me on my heels, I nearly had fallen sideways. His arms were wrapped holding me against his chest, mouth close to my neck. I could have sworn he even sniffed me? But yet I couldn't scream for help, unable to from the spell he placed on me when whispering to me. A single tear spilled running down. I couldn't do anything, the one thing I could do, I tried and failed when he didn't go out for the count like most men would. What was he? And why did he have an obsession with me?

His breathes were ice cold, cold as the orbs he used to watch the world. "I've waited so long." He whispered blowing across my neck. "This hasn't been easy, waiting this long for you." I wasn't sure what he was talking about, but I could feel my heart racing, heart pounding so hard I thought my chest would burst at any moment.

Hopefully, I would die here before he could do whatever he'd planned to do with me. But I didn't have the best luck, if it were bad luck. I had tons of it and here it was striking once more. He'd kill me most likely, leave my body here to be someone else's problem. I shuttered in his touch, it felt like winter time when I would slip outside without a coat on. He was cold as death.

One quick dip backwards, I rested in his arms lifeless and unable to stop him. Sharp surges of pain drilled into side of my neck, skin making a popping noise. I wasn't sure what he was doing, but I closed my eyes awaiting to see my mother on the other side. Be reunited with the one being whom was once here, I couldn't stop missing.

It was hard, to know me wanting a life and agreeing to go out all lead up to this. Faith I believed in, if this was the end, it was meant to happen. Wished it wasn't in the hands of a weirdo though.
