Don't Believe Everything You Hear- ON HOLD

Blood of a Rose- Chapter 3

“No!” My giggling continued and I rolled around on my bed trying to run from Jason’s fingers that dug into my sides and caused the laughter.

“Why won’t you just answer me one question!?” He stopped his tickling this time and just hovered above me while staring contently into my eyes.

My breathing hitched and I just stared back for a few moments before remember he had asked me something.

“Well, I-I um don’t know the question your wanting to ask and I’m not going to guarantee that I will just answer what you want me to. I can’t do that. There are some questions that I don’t think I could answer.” I smiled slightly at him and waited for him to move off of me.

He didn’t move, instead he rested his head on my shoulder, the rest of his body still hovering above mine.

“I just want to know your name.”

My breath caught in my throat. Not only at his question but because I could feel his breath tickling down my neck.

“I can’t. It’s all I have left.” My voice was small and sad. It was the only thing I had left from my parents. The only thing that was still me.

He sighed and pushed his face a little closer into my neck, nuzzling me slightly.

“What should I call you then? Little one doesn’t really suite you much. Please give me something?”

I shivered as his voice crossed against my neck.

“My middle name is Hannah.”  

I felt his lips smile against my neck.

“It’s beautiful.”

I stared at the ceiling for a few moments wondering if we were going to stay in this position all day. It seemed like he really didn’t want to move.

“Well isn’t this a pretty site?” My body tensed and Jason jumped off only to stand in front of me growling.

I sat up slowly afraid of who I would see.  My body stayed tense as I looked around Jason to see Thomas glaring back towards me.

“I see that you have made your choice, but may I suggest a better man?” In what seemed like slow motion Thomas had Jason pinned up against a wall and shoved his hand into his younger brother’s stomach.  I screamed in shock and Jason’s eyes bulged and blood poured from the huge gaping hole in his stomach.

“STOP!” My voice was loud high pitched and worried. I couldn’t let this happen.

Thomas’ eyes turned to me, his fist still inside of Jason and his eyes matching the red of the blood pouring down the walls and onto my carpet.

“Please stop, I’ll do whatever you want. Just stop!”

Dropping his brother, Thomas brought his wet hand to my tear stained face.

“Good. That is what I enjoy hearing. I believe you remember my room?”

I nodded weakly.

“Be there in the morning or next time he will be finished right away.”

I nodded again and started to run towards Jason as Thomas left my room.

Ripping off my sweatshirt I rolled it in a ball and pushed in onto the wound trying to stop the massive amount of blood coming out.

“You have to leave Hannah.” His voice was weak and his eyes fluttered open slightly to show complete red. Not only his pupils, but everything was red.

“N-no, I need to help you this is all my fault!” Tears continued to cascade down my face and I tried desperately to stop the bleeding.

“You have to leave, it’s not safe being near me right now!” Though his voice was still quiet there was a hint of urgency in his voice.
