Kiss My Name

Chapter 16

Ms Venable sat you into her room, checking on you. "That was very unlike her." She quietly commented, mildly bitter about it. She didn't pay Langdon much attention as he stood in the shadows. You could only really see his eyes, like some kind of alternate shadow. "She's lost her mind to these halls." You quietly joked, earning a snort. The sound of Langdon's quiet chuff silenced Venable swiftly, her small smile reduced to a cold stare of terror and annoyance. "Good joke." Langdon chirped, coldness rushing through her veins. "I'll let you take (Y/N) to her room." He spoke up, Venable getting up slowly to not spook him with sudden movements as though she was moving around in front of a bull. "Thank you."

Venable guided you back to your room, eyes darting around. She was honestly terrified, terrified of Langdon. She was seen as the biggest threat around here, then an even bigger threat came in. She glanced to you, smiling softly. As long as she had you to herd them, she could systematically still be a threat. "Lady Venable, is it possible to love and still be scared?" Your question made her smile drop, mulling it over. She, of course, was head over heels for you, but to hear you still feared her? It made her heart drop, a twinkle of doubt of her actions embedded itself into her mind. "I won't hurt you again, ever." Venable promised quietly, now outside your door. "I love you." Venable quivered at your words, smiling softly. She broke into a run, running away from you as quickly as she could.

She didn't want to admit that she felt the same if she scared you, she wanted to be able to hold you without you having the fear of getting hurt. She made it to her room, bearing her teeth as she slammed her back against her door, tears starting to form.

Please kiss my name when all the music's over.

I don't want you to define me by my sins, (Y/N). Please... Please..!
