Revenge from a Broken Heart

Prologue

　

She never expected him to show up. She never thought in a million years that he would come after her. After all, it was just an empty threat. At least, that is what Holly Willow thought. She could now just hear the repeat of the memorable words from two years ago that rang in her ear. "You will regret this. I will make your heart end up like mine." She let a silent tear fall. She wanted to wipe her tear away, but was far too restrained. She could do nothing but lay on the musty old bed that wreaked of dust and dirt. There was no doubt that this was their old secret hideout that they would go to when they wanted to be alone. It was the small two room house located in the dark forest that was five miles from Holly's house. She let out a cry behind the cloth that prevented her from talking. It is just a nightmare is what she was trying to convince herself. She thought if she just woke up then she would be back home. She wanted nothing more then to go home. She wanted to apologize to her mom and dad for saying those horrible words that parents never want to hear. She wanted to hug her little sister, Sophie, one last time. She wanted to just be in her room. She wished she had never stormed out into the evening by herself. She wished she had a chance to run away and find help as soon as he put the chloroform over her mouth and nose. She just wished.

She heard his car pull up. He was back. God knows from what. Lord give me strength is what she thought after his engine turned off. He footsteps were gradually getting louder as he was walking up. Her heart just dropped when the footsteps came to a halt. "Hello, Sleepyhead," the cockiness of his voice pierced her hears. She slowly turned her head to face the man that she dreaded to see. She thought she was finished with him two years ago. They soon made agonizing eye contact. All she could see in his eyes were cruelty and revenge. "I've missed you," he teased her. He moved closer to her until his face was inches from her's. She flinched as the chill from his breath grazed her skin. He whispered, "I told you. You will regret what happened. I will make your heart end up like mine. I will do everything to make sure of it."

Holly started sobbing. He glared at her, but smirked. "I'm sorry, what are you saying? Oh, let me help you with that." He pulled the cloth down and Holly gasped for air as soon as it was around her neck. "Please, just let me go! I'm so sorry! I'll do anything!" He just laughed in her face. Holly continued to plea for her life. "I'll give you money! I'll keep my mouth shut and won't tell anyone! Just please, J-" "NO!" he screamed. "My name dares not come out of your mouth! My name means nothing to you!" he yelled in her face. He went into the other room hastily. What seemed like seconds were minutes to Holly. He came back in the bedroom with something behind his back. "But if my name ever does come out of your mouth," he whispered in her ear as he raised the sharp knife to her throat. She sucked in the air as the cold blade made contact with her. "I will kill you instantly." Holly knew that if his first threat was real, he was dead serious.

He put the knife in his back pocket and put that arrogant smile back on his disguntingly gorgeous face. Holly always fell for the gorgeous ones. Especially him. She thought he was the one for her. He treated her right and they loved each other. They eventually fell madly in love to the point where they absolutely needed each other. But he turned insane. Every guy she talked to ended up injured in some way because of him. He was constantly stalking her and she was limited to where she went because of him. Holly finally ended it and never looked back. There were days when she missed him, but she knew she had to stay strong. She dated different guys and eventually forgot about him, but always felt something was strange at school. She could never shake the feeling that she was often being watched.

He got closer to her, snapping her out of her thoughts, until their noses touched. His piercing green eyes just gazing into her sparkling blue eyes. His gaze was much more intense up close than they were from a distance, causing a chill to crawl down her spine. He moved his head down to her neck and placed small kisses. He picked one particular spot to start going mad with his kiss. Holly let out a little whimper and continued to sob. He was being rough until her delicate skin was blue and purple. He then blew on the spot causing goose bumps to rise from the bruise and around it. Her sobs became silent as she avoided his contact at any rate it took. He saw that she was in pain. In the beginning he would've done anything to prevent her from crying, but that was before she broke his heart. He liked her pain. He grabbed her chin and forced her head to face his. "Look at me," he whispered. She quickly looked in his eyes to avoid any pain that could come from not obeying. "Let's have some fun like we used to," he said with that ugly smirk that was plastered on his face. Before she could object to that horrendous idea, he placed the cloth back in her mouth.

He stood up and started removing his shirt from his model body that she would've done anything to get. He then started unbuttoning her cream colored blouse that she would always wear to special occassions. She started to sob even harder. He got on top of her and whispered, "I'm ready." She couldn't help but try to squirm out from under his muscular body. Holly tried everything in her power to kick him, but the ropes were far to strong for her small body. He grinned and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry. This is just the beginning."
