Falling For A Murderer

Charlie, Charlie

"Talk about a freaky dream." I muttered to myself as I got up out of bed.

Xander groaned as he pulled me back down to him, "What's the matter baby?"

"You stay here, I am gonna make some breakfast." I replied kissing him and unwrapping myself from his arms.

"Okay." He said, soft snores following his statement.

I got off the bed and after brushing my teeth and doing my business, I left the room. I walked through the hallways that led to the kitchen, trailing my hand across the black walls. My feet thudded against the dark wood floors. I walked down the stairs and through the kitchen door. Today for breakfast, I planned on making some snickerdoodle muffins. I got out the ingredients and went to work mixing it together.

Arms wrapped around me as I started pouring the batter into the liners on the pan. "I am making snickerdoodle muffins babe, I would have brought some up to you when they were done." I said, finishing up the rest of the batter.

"Oh, but I'd much rather be down here with you."

It wasn't Xander.

I gasped, "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, just felt like a nice, friendly visit to my girl." Charlie said, turning my body around and trapping my body against his.

"I am not your girl." I whispered, looking up at his blue eyes.

He smiled down at me and tapped my chin with a slender finger, "Oh, but you are sweet Allie."

"What are you going to do to me?" I ask cautiously.

He strokes my hair in between his fingers, "I don't know yet."

My blue eyes meet his own blue ones and he glances at my lips. "Are you scared Allie?" He asks.

"I don't know yet." I say.

"Well, you better figure it out real quick babe." He shoves the cloth against my mouth and nose and I gasp. The bitterness of the cloroform fills my nostrils and I fall limp into his arms.

***************

My eyes open slowly, and I sit up in the bed.

I hear a click and the lights turn on, blinding me momentarily. "Hello Allie." Charlie says, his long brown hair flopping against his forehead as he walks towards me and sits on the bed.

"What is going on?" I ask, my mind groggy.

He takes my hand in his and kisses my fingers. "Oh, just had to get my girl back."

"I know that you're mad." I whispered.

"Oh, honey. I am not mad, I am ravenous."

"Even better." I mutter sarcastically.

He let go of my hand and pulled my body towards his. "Don't make this harder than it has to be darling." He whispered into my hair.

"Make what harder?"

"Letting me back into your life."

"I was happy where I was thank you very much for the offer but I decline." I ground my teeth together and shoved away from him, getting off the bed and leaning against a wall.

He got up from his spot and placed his hands on each side of me against the wall, caging me in. "Oh but I don't think you really want to decline my offer my little muffin."

"Oh but I do."

Anger flashed in his blue eyes, causing them to darken and harden. One of his hands went to my thigh, squeezing and causing me to gasp with my own boiling hatred.

"Get your meaty hand off of my body!" I yell into his face.

*SMACK*

I collapse to the floor, grasping for my burning cheek.

He pointed an accusing finger at my face, "Don't you dare talk to me that way Allie! I loved you with everything I had and you went back to that fucking imbecile!"

Tears streamed down my cheeks. "What did you expect me to do?" I asked quietly, so low you wouldn't think the words had passed from my lips at all.

He dropped down to my level and took my hands in his, I shrank back. He looked.... Defeated, like he couldn't take it all anymore. He looked woeful and angry at the same time, tears glistened in his eyes, making them shine. "I am sorry Allie."

"But I do not like what you did at all. You and Alexander will pay. I got into his house once, I found you. I will kill him. Be grateful if I save you." He finished, getting up and dusting the knees of his pants off. He held a hand out to me and I quietly took it.

Yanking me off the floor, he told me one last thing before the placing the cloth into my mouth and nose.

"If only I didn't fall in love with you."

Xander pov

"We have to get her back!" I yelled, running throughout the mansion. I had gotten up to see what was taking Allie so long to find her gone. There had been signs of a struggle and I already knew who it had to have been. Charlie. He had taken her away, and this time I planned to kill that fucker.
