Chapter 8

"I..." I didn't know what I was supposed to say. To him it seems like such an ordinary request, but to me it was huge and I didn't know what to say.

"It's alright you don't have to answer; I mean we barely know each other after all"

"but wouldn't you like to know?"

"I changed my mind. Maybe later?"

Grams wasn't home when Ethan dropped me off. I lay on my bed trying to grasp in the events that had occur in my life for the past few days. I still can't believe that I was able to escape from the evil beast and moreover I couldn't decipher why a boy like Ethan would take sudden interest in a girl like me. Which led to the big Question: Why can't  I stop thinking about him? his emerald eyes, the way his eyes tinkled when his trying to figure something out or the way he bit his lip when he was trying to concentrate on something and that dimple on his left chick and when the hell did I took notice of all those things. Ugh this is infuriating. I fell back onto the queen sized bed and then I fell asleep.

It's hot. It feels like someone is holding tight on my neck I couldn't breathe. I opened  my eyes only to discover that I'm in the evil beast arms. He was holding me tight, refusing to let me go. I struggle against his inhuman strength. I could not get myself out of his arms, not even a little, and it's getting harder to breathe. I'm going to pass out or worse, die. Oh god no I can't die, not now .I can't lose to this man. I struggle harder, not giving up.

And then he his dragging me outside of the room, or maybe it's a kitchen; there are plates and kitchen utensils around. I grabbed a knife resting on top of the kitchen table just before exiting the kitchen. I  slash the knife somewhere on his face. He screamed and release his fierce hold on me. This is my  chance, I need to make a run for it, I thought. I rise up and make a break for it but it's hard for me to. My neck hurts and it feels like i'm choking on something  and my breathing is uneven. I ran outside and it was cold, freezing even and I didn't even have on a sweeter. My whole body is all numb and it was getting harder and harder for me to breathe. 

Everything is quiet. I tried calling for help but my voice sound hoarse due to the evil beast's holds on my neck, so no one could hear me. I can feel someone or something running towards me  and when I look back it was Ray and even though he's hurt, he can move really fast.

"What do you want from me?"

"You think you get to ruined everything and get away with it?"

"I didn't do anything" I yelled

"you didn't do anything?! you ruined my life everything and you're goin'  to pay for it"

"you wouldn't get away if anything happens to me" I threaten, trying to make him understand that I still have some grounds left.

"oh sweetie but I don't have anything left to lose. You took everything away from me"

 Oh god I can't reason with him I'm totally defenseless. I can't die like this. I still have a lot left to do.

"help" I croak.

"oh but there is no one here to save you not with that pathetic voice of yours"

"you're wrong. someone would definitely save me"  I say with the last bit of strength I have left.

"save you?" he laugh and it is a devilish laugh. It's disgusting and I can't bare to look at his ruin face. My head hit the wall. Hard.

"well look there is no one here to save yo' ass now!" he growled and then I heard fists slamming with jaws. And  Ray collapsing to the ground.
