Trapped (z.m)

Chapter 3

I absolutely loathed him. He was so gentle and charming when I first met him. He made me fall for him so hard that I was unable to see the monster he would morph into.

I was so entranced by him. He was an enigma to me and looking into his gentle blue eyes I forgot about everything else. When I looked at him. It was like the world stopped.

Right now looking at Zayn's face I felt something even stronger and that chilled me to the bone.

It sent shivers creeping down my back but it was something that made me feel warm and safe at the same time.

"You don't need to worry about it." I whispered.

I can still feel his abrasive hands all over me. I can hear his sadistic laugh in my head and it makes me so terrified that I want to run into the warm comfort of Zayn's arms right now.

"What concerns you, concerns me too." He said as I turned around gripping my wrist that was starting to bruise as I slowly started walking into the forest.

"It shouldn't. You'll get yourself killed." I said as I stopped in front of a placid lake that seemed to calm the feeling of anxiety in me I couldn't shake off.

"I don't care as long as you're safe." He said as he placed a hand on my shoulder making me turn to face him.

Tears were now rushing down my face which made him pull me into a comforting hug.

"Who slapped you?" He asked making me look up with wide eyes.

"How? What?" I asked my arms still wrapped around his waist.

"Your face has a handprint on it." He seemed calm. Too calm.

"You know..um.." I started to stumble upon words finding it hard to find an excuse but a part of me still wished that he would find out.

"I'm going to kill him." He said coldly.

"Are you psychic?" I finally blurted out and then flushed a deep red when I saw him staring at me with amused eyes.

"He's not good for you." He whispered.

"But I love him." I said but I could hear the lie in my own voice.

"He hurts you so much. Do you really? Amanda Steel I promise you one day I will make you fall for me." He said looking deep into my eyes. He had no idea that I was already falling for him. I just needed to get myself out of this labyrinth I'm stuck in and then we can be together.

"He will kill you." I said to him. I was dead serious. I knew that if anyone tried to take anything away from him they were ruined. And I had no doubt that he would be too.

"He won't find out. I promise you I will get you out of there." he says and for once I believe everything is going to be okay as I nuzzle my face into his chest.

"Promise?"

"I promise."
