Evil Falls for Evil

Will you stay?

Cara's POV:-

'Cara, where are you? I am coming to get you.' Echoed a voice in the hall. A voice still haunts me to this day, A Voice that still makes me feel vulnerable, A Voice that still can fill me with terror.

A voice I can't seem to remember...

I ran and ran and didn't even stop to catch my breath. The voice seemed to get closer and closer and I ran continuously before storming into the nearest room came into my view.

I closed the door behind and finally caught my breath. I glanced around the darkroom but as I was to turn on the light. I heard heavy footsteps.

"I am coming to get you..." The voice repeated itself followed by a very dark laugh, "You can't hide from me, Cara" it continued.

The footsteps stopped right in front of the door and I just shut my eyes, hoping that someone would get me out of this darkness.

"Please, don't hurt me" I murmured and murmured until...

.....

"Claire, Wake up!"

I felt someone shaking my body and I shot up my eyes open. I blinked my eyes a couple of times, not believing them for a second, but it felt real as I felt him touching my cheek.

"Are you alright?" He asked with a concerned tone as he gently creased his thumb on my cheek.

I shook my head and realized that I was covered in a cold sweat," I am fine, Santiago" I murmured before shutting my eyes for a moment.

"No, you're not. You were screaming ' Please, don't hurt me' in your sleep. How that sound fine to you? I know, we don't like each other but at least for once, let me help you... Please?"

He gave me those puppy dog eyes to which I just couldn't resist and slightly nodded in his direction. He gave me a smile before pulling me into his arms.

"Wait, how am I here?" I asked as my eyes met his once again after I took a look around the surrounding which looked nothing like my room.

"Oh, well, you kind of passed out and I sort of convenience Ashton to leave you to me. I can take care of my girlfriend after all" He winked at me before chuckling softly.

"I am not-"

He shook his head and cut me off"I know just stop talking about that and tell me about your nightmare. If you don't mind?"

I let out a deep sigh before hiding my face in his chest. I know I am not supposed to be doing this but for once I feel safe around him.

"It was horrible..."

"Let it out, you'll feel better but it's alright if you are not comfortable talking about it" he murmured as he gently played with my hair.

"It was like someone was chasing me. I ran but then there was this voice. It sounded... Familiar but I don't remember who was it. It said it's coming to get me..."

As soon as I finished, tears started to roll down my cheeks and I couldn't help but tear upon his chest. It felt real. So real that I can still feel myself trembling in fear.

"It's alright, shhh. I won't let anyone get you" he whispered soothingly in my ear, "you're safe here, in my arms and I won't let anyone hurt my pretty little thing"

I smiled slightly before looking into those mesmerizing hazel eyes of his. For a second, it felt like the time has stopped. Sounds bullshit but for once I don't hate the person I am staring at in front of me.

He smirked slightly as he stared back at me. He leaned in and whispered in my ear, "What is it?" I couldn't help but smile more before clinging onto him

"Will you stay?"

"Of course I will"

His words sounded like a promise like he means it more than anything. I never got to see this side of Santiago but now that I did. He doesn't look like a bad guy anymore. It feels like I am safe where I am and I don't want to let go.

I sigh in relief as I felt his fingers stroking my hair gently. His Heartbeat was like a song to my ears and his touch was addicting.

He started to hum softly whilst playing with my hair," you should go back to sleep. I'll be here when you'll wake up"

This moment was perfect and in my life, nothing can be perfect for too long but I didn't care about it right now. I feel happy with someone I hate with a passion but at this moment it's like... it's all gone.

He annoyed me since college until now and I hated him for it but at the same time, I liked him. I liked him when he gave me that stupid pet name for god knows what reason. He is a dickhead but he can be nice too sometimes I guess.

I never got to knew who he is. I was taught to hate Torres but I never questioned why. I regret that now, I should have asked dad when he was around but I suppose, some questions can't be answered.

I proceed to get closer to Santiago and chuckled, listening to his rambles but as I was about to drift off to sleep. A phone ring ruined our perfect moment...
