Sleepless nights

Chapter 6

I turned away from the graveyard and took out phone calling my parents to tell them to come pick me up at the library near the center if the town. I heard them get their keys and knew they were on their way to the car.

I wasn't going to the library and there's a reason I chose a location that far. I needed them out of the house long enough for me to pack up a few things and leave. I wasn't sure if Cassius was at home but I really hoped he was asleep. He needed to calm his mind from what happened earlier.

I walked near the house and opened the front door to see the TV was on and Cassius was sitting on the couch watching Shrek. I wanted to say something but closed my mouth and turned around walking up the stairs.

In my bedroom I found my brown satchel that Pansy got me for my 18th birthday. Coming from a witch this was clearly not an ordinary satchel because it had a bottomless spell on it.

I could through as many things in the bag and it'll never get full. I just have to think about what I needed and I could take it out without problem. The only problems that I've had in the past were that I lost quite a lot of things in the bag and I'm still not sure what's in it.

It was safe to say that I almost had everything in it and I really meant everything. I took a couple shirts, pants and undergarments and through them in my bag. I looked at my closet and saw a black box staring at me and I wasn't sure if I even needed to take it, but in my mind I had this idea that literally anything could happen on this trip so I took out the contents and put in my bag.

The rest was normal stuff like a stack of cash and maybe toiletries that I knew I needed. When I was done packing in my room I went to my parents room and looked inside my moms locked chest that she kept at the foot of the bed. She had all sorts of things inside and most that would come in handy. I saw the old lock picking kit that ny dad got me as a gift once and sneered knowing she hid it in the most obvious place that I didn't bother looking when she took it.

Next was a potions kit to help with mixing a few different ones that were simple enough that I could make them and I took a couple of herbs and jars full of other stuff and threw it in the satchel.

I went downstairs but as soon as I stepped down the last stair I felt his eyes on me. I looked at him, yet he didn't say anything. The silence was awkward and I moved towards the kitchen to get something to eat for when I was out.

I heard his footsteps behind me and when I was opening the fridge he slammed it shut and turned me around to face him. I had to crane my neck upwards to look into his  because he was standing so close that I could see his eyes and the way they turned dark. His head came closer and I walked backwards only to feel the cold surface of the fridge.

I could feel his breath on mine and he stared into my eyes not moving from the position we were in. When he grinned I was confused. I didn't exactly find this very amusing yet his smiled continued to grow. I was starting to get get scared when his hand came up to cup my face in a gentle manner. I closed my eyes and took a small breath when I felt his hand move towards my neck. He lightly brushed at my throat with the backside of his knuckled and I felt the cold metal of his ring.

I took another shaky breath and heard his chuckle and it was a deep sound that made my knees want to buckle. His other hand came up the side of my arm and found it's way to my shoulder. In one rough motion he took my hand and held it above my head and I was startled at the motion at first and then he took my other hand and held them both above my head with one hand.

His other found it's way back to my throat and brushed it lightly. My eyes fluttered open and I looked deep into his eyes finding that they were even darker than before, almost a dark shade of black. I didn't want to ruin the moment by saying something about it but he did when his hand at neck started to find its way around it and started pressing down. His hand was big so when it covered almost my whole neck and I felt the air slightly leaving my lungs.
