There's a demon inside.

Chapter 13- Forgive me

(Ricky's POV)

Ash came back after about an hour and took me back home, relaxing in my palace of lust whilst I fed.

"So, Ricky, did you two talk things out?" She mumbled softly as I grabbed some girl who was knelt down and forced a kiss upon her lips.

She melted into the kiss and whilst she did, I indulged myself on the lust emanating off of her. I ended the kiss and wiped my lips harshly.

"Yeah, kinda." I said, trailing off as I remembered the passion in the kiss, his heartfelt words. He told me he loved me, and that he wanted me to rule with him.

It was alot to comprehend if I'm honest. Ashley snickered and tilted her head with a small smile. "You two sure are something."

"What's that supposed to mean?" I said darkly, sitting down with my legs and arms crossed. "Nothing." She sang softly before sighing.

Before I could ask her what was wrong, I felt a sharp pain in my head. I frowned before shrugging. Maybe it was just a side effect of the transformation.

Chris came over to see me shortly after Ashley left, which cheered me up a lot. He bent his head and kissed me with a small smile playing on his lips. He had come to me, with no warning just to see me. I felt so important and loved.

"I missed you." He breathed softly, pulling me into his arms. I rested my head against his chest and sighed happily, it was so easy to relax and be myself around him.

"Now!" I frowned, thinking I'd heard him wrong until two pairs of hands grabbed me roughly and pulled me away. I looked around in alarm, and lashed out. What the fuck was happening? I glared at Chris. "You bastard!" I snarled, struggling more and more.

Justin grunted but more people came until I couldn't move. "No! Stop! Let me go!" I growled until something hit my head hard and all I saw was darkness.

I awoke tied, well chained, up to a chair. I was at Chris' mansion, but why? Chris was stood in front of me, wearing a suit with a red tie. I felt my eyes well up. Why was he doing this? Rage also fulled my veins as I glared at him. Oh if only looks could kill.

"Please forgive me, Ricky. This is for your own good." I flinched as he grabbed my head and glared into my eyes.

I yelled in pain, I didn't know what he was doing, but it was agonizing. Is this how he treated Angelo? "Get the fuck off of me!" I shouted, my body convulsing.

He was in my head, digging, searching. But for what? What had I done? I kicked my leg out and laughed bitterly with tears running down my face. If he didn't stop, I'd kill him. Chris fell backwards and looked at me.

Guess he didn't expect me to lash out at him.

"Was it something that I did? Did I do something, Chris? What the fuck have I done?" I screamed, unable to contain my sadness and rage. "No..I-I can't tell you what I'm doing but please...trust me."

"Why? Why the fuck should I trust you?! You SICK BASTARD!" He didn't answer, in fact he went completely silent. The next hour was torture, he prodded every part of my mind he could until I ended up throwing up. Multiple times.

After I was cleaned up, he carried on with the prodding. Until I snapped the chains, and the darkness within began to consume me again.I had had enough, he was going to pay for this. l This time I was in control.

I grabbed his hand and growled, hellfire consuming his hand until he pulled me in for a kiss. I shoved him back into the wall, and held him up by his throat. "I'm going to fucking kill you." I snarled.

He shoved me back, pouncing on top of me, trying to pin me down. I kicked him straight in his stomach, and as he fell forward, I headbutted him will all my strength. Blood coated his face as I shoved him onto the floor.

Suddenly, Justin charged back in and froze as Ryan and Vinny came barging in from the other entrance, rage in their eyes. They pulled their swords out and pointed them at Chris.

"Leave him the fuck alone." Ryan sneered, looking at him with pure hatred. Chris opened his mouth but was cut off by the dark look he received from Vinny.

"Don't you dare. Ryan take Ricky home, make sure he's okay and go get Ashley. I'll deal with this cunt." I was momentarily taken aback by his language before Ryan grabbed my hand and pulled me away.

We went back to my palace where I collapsed and started crying. "Shh, Rick its okay." Ryan murmured, pulling me into his arms. The rage had ebbed away, only leaving the sorrow and the heartache.

I relaxed briefly in his embrace, and a brief thought crossed my mind. What would it be like if me and Ryan became a thing? He always looked after me and held me when I needed it, like now. I shook my head and snapped myself out of it before pushing him aside.

I loved Chris, and I loved Ryan as a very dear friend. Thinking these thoughts was pointless, it wouldn't happen and even if it did, I'd still love Chris no matter what. Even if I didn't want to.

"Where were you?" I said, glaring at Ryan. He looked down.

"Chris ordered us to wait outside, I didn't know he'd teleported you to his palace or did any of that. If I knew I would've stopped him." I sighed and nodded before standing up. I couldn't sit there crying, doing nothing.

It wouldn't get me anywhere.

"It'll be okay, right?" He asked, looking worried. I shrugged, I honestly didn't know. I didn't want to know, either. Ashley ran in and pulled me into a tight hug.

"He was out of order. Are you okay, Rick?"
"I'm fine, Ash. Don't worry about me. Just keep Chris away from me for a bit please. Otherwise I'll kill him." She nodded slowly, caution written all over her face before she let go.

"I want to be alone. Ryan stand guard outside of my bedroom with Vinny. Get the other guards at the front of my palace and at the gates. He isn't coming in here. Do I make myself clear?" Ryan nodded as I went into my bedroom.

I laid down and stared at the ceiling. I didn't want this. I didn't want to be a demon, I wanted to go back to the way I was before. I may have been afraid of loving who I wanted to, but at least I didn't feel this pathetic, worthless and low. Why didn't he try to talk to me about it?

He could've told me what he was looking for and he didn't. How could I forgive him this time? I couldn't.
