i wipe the tears away.

another nightmare shook me out of my sleep this time it was Joshua.

he had come to my room after a long day of training, i was in my night gown reading a book, i used to read a lot when i was younger, my mother would teach me how to write and read in my cell whenever my dad was busy.

"hey princess" his husky voice spoke sending shivers down my back, i knew what was gonna happen in less five minutes. he looks pissed and he likes to take it all out on me.

"hi Joshua" i greet quietly closing my book and placing it on my nightstand.

every since he started to train with my dad he became so different, his eyes no longer soft and loving, his touch no longer gentle and warm, his voice no longer calming, he used to be my sun.

but now he is my storm.

he looks at me with so much hate, he blames me for the death of his mother and i blame myself too.

it was my fault.

i shouldn't have kissed him, but he was my first crush, the first person i befriended, my first best friend, can you blame?

"eyes up here, ant" his voice jerks me out of my thoughts.

"yes Joshua" i look up at him with my teary eyes.

"strip" his cold voice spoke, i flinched at his tone.

i shook the thoughts of my head no longer wanting to think of my disgusting nightmare. i hate how much he affects me and my life. i could try my best to forget him but he's always gonna be part of my life, giving me Elijah was a huge blessing but a huge fucking nightmare. I wanted a child with a man that i adore and love, someone that makes me laugh and smile, someone i was willing to have sex with but i didn't get any of that.

my dreams got snatched like every other one of mine.

"athena" the deep familiar voice spoke sending unwelcome shivers down my back.

"vincent" i mumble pulling my knees closer to my chest.

"what are you doing here, it's four in the morning" he takes large steps to reach me quicker. 

i had sneaked out of my room not wanting to wake up Elijah with my cries and sobs, so i walked out and came to the library.

it's a peaceful and beautiful place, a large library with so many book shelves and a rolling ladder. there is also a fountain on the side of the wall with a statue that makes such relaxing water sounds.

"i just didn't feel like sleeping" i whisper, wiping my tears away and moving my gaze to the window.

for a second i though he had left, but he surprises me when he sits down next to me bending his legs and pressing his arm against mine.
