Something About Him

Chapter 27: Beginning of something

Cynthia's POV

"You are hurting me...please, let go off me" I added as I felt his nails piercing into my skin.

"Let her go..." A deep, familiar voice boomed into the silence of these dense woods.

"Now!"

I froze on my spot as I recognised who's voice it was...I could recognize that voice from thousands...it was him...it was Damien.

Ishaan looked up at the source of the voice, who was Damien, but I just stood there with my back facing him, for some reason I couldn't bring myself to look up at him.

Yes, a few minutes ago I was dying to see him, but now when I knew that he was standing right behind me, I just couldn't look at him...maybe it was because I was mad at him...mad at him for not feeling the same way as I do for him.

Why was he even here?

What was he even doing here in the first place?

Why was he trying to save me? When he couldn't even stand the sight for me...when he hated me so much.

Why?

"Why are you here? Damien" I mumbled to myself while shutting my eyes close.

"What? What did you say?" Ishaan asked sarcastically. God! He was way too drunk, he couldn't even stand properly.

"I said let her go, right now..." Damien replied firmly.

"Before I rip that hand off your body that's hurting her" He continued as I felt Ishaan's grip on my arm loosening up a bit before he tightened it again in the next moment as I opened my eyes.

Ishaan was scared shitless, I could sense it by his body posture, heck even I felt chills running down my spine when I heard what Damien just said.

"Stop trying to be the hero, Damien, and just go...find a corner to be alone somewhere" Ishaan said mockingly before harshly jerking me around by my arm so now I was facing Damien but I kept looking down as I didn't want to look up at him, I didn't want him to see me as a weak, crying girl, I didn't want him to see me this vulnerable.

Ishaan purposely tightened his grip on my arm even more, most probably to throw it in Damien's face that he was hurting me and he couldn't do anything about it while I bit my lower lip in pain and also to suppress the painful groan that was trying to escape my mouth.

"Ah!" I could no longer hold back the pain and a painful groan managed escape my lips and in the next fleeting moment, I don't know how but Ishaan's hand was harshly ripped off my arm and I couldn't help but sigh in relief.

And that was also the moment when I finally looked up, only to see that Damien had Ishaan's fingers interlocked with his and he was brutally twisting them backwards and I'm also sure that I heard the sound of the bones in his fingers breaking.

I shut my eyes close as I couldn't bare to look at the way Ishaan was screaming in pain. Yes, I know he was trying to moleste me not even minutes ago but yet I couldn't stand looking at the sight that was unfolding before me.

I jerked my eyes open as I snapped out of my trance realizing that I must stop Damien before he does something that cannot be reversed and I know that I don't know him much, but by the murderous look on his face and the rage in his eyes I could tell that he was capable of doing much more than just breaking his fingers.

"Damien, stop" I said, my voice barely audible even to my ears.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself before speaking again.
