Chapter 10: Between Light & Dark
-------------------------------------------------

Your POV:

"Hey, long time no see~" Justin grinned at me, scanning me up and down as he took a step closer, forcing me to take a step back. Panic rushed through me and I knew it showed. My eyes were wide open, unable to hide the fear and shock I was feeling at the moment.

"Seems like we've got some catching up to do" his tone was sweet in a sick way. "Maybe it's time we talk about what went wrong between us. Think we could get it right this time?" He took an other step toward me, ignoring my obvious need for personal space.

"No.. I don't..- I don't want to..." I stammered, my voice almost inaudible. My heart racing while my thoughts were desperate for Dark to show up.

"Oh, why not?" Justin cooed, unbothered by my protest. "This relationship wasn't thaaaat bad. Everyone makes mistakes and I think I deserve an other chance, don't I?" His hand reached out to grip my arm as I tried to pull away but his grip just tightened.

"I said no!" My voice was trembling, water building up in my eyes but Justin paid no attention to this. Just as his hand tightened around my arm, an other hand wrapped firmly around my waist, pulling me back against a cold but familiar body.

It was Dark.

"There you are, sweetheart." Darks low and soft voice rumbled next to me. "I've got your medicine.." His arm kept pulling me closer to his side as he placed a gentle kiss on top of my head, holding a small pharmacy bag in his other hand.

I looked up at Dark, feeling a huge wave of relief rush through my body. His eyes looked down to me.. Even without him telling me anything, I understood that he knew what was going on right now.

Darks gaze shifted away from me and over to Justin. "And you are?" He asked, his deep voice dropping the gentleness, becoming more strict and dangerous. A single eyebrow raised as he looked Justin up and down, a faint disdainful smirk on his face.

"I'm her boyfriend, who the hell are you?" Justin sneered, crossing his arms as he shot Dark a venomous look.

A low chuckle escaped Darks lips. Justins expression twisted with anger "Something funny?!" He snapped back.

"You're certainly not her boyfriend, she's already taken" Dark began to explain before he looked down at me, still glued to his side "am I right?"

I looked up at Dark nodding before looking over to Justin "Yes.. yes he is. I'm with him now.." I clung to Darks side, trying to steady my voice but failing.

Justin huffed, his expression a mixture of annoyance and disbelief as he glared at Dark. I knew he could be intimidating but Dark.. he was something else. Even with Justins angry and menacing stare, Darks calm dominance made him always seem harmless.

"And since when? Didn't take you long to move on, did it?" Justin demanded an answer as he clearly seemed to be pissed off.

My mouth opened a little but no words came out as I froze in place. Old memories flashing back with that look in Justins eyes. A look that I've seen way to many times and never ended well for me..

Gladly, Dark stood up for me and took the word instead. "Since she decided to stop amusing people who can't take a simple 'no' for an answer." he said, his voice laces with icy authority, tightening his grip around my waist protectively.

Justins face twisted in fury, taking an other step foreward again "this is ridiculous! We just need to talk, that's it!" His hand reached out to me again but this time, Dark stepped in front of me, creating a wall between me and Justin.
