Hell's Empire

Soon ; Ch.22

I stopped walking, even if I didn't trust Edward I knew it was better than facing a monster.. Wait.

"I just wanted to apologize for my brothers awful behavior." He cooed, Im not buying it.
Harry and him are one, technically he made the same mistake. He held his hand to his chest and gripped it acting hurt. What an awful act. I just hope he can't read minds.

He then looked at me and smiled, wait can he? He spoke softly, "I'd treat you much better than him. I'd give you everything you want, everything." Emphasis on everything.
I laughed, what is he trying to say? That he could be better? Harry said he tried to mark me, I don't trust him anymore than I trust Harry's left pinky toe.

"Do you know what you do to me?" Edward spoke and I felt like the floor dropped three stories, shit. This isn't good, I began walking on my new noodle legs, in hopes of dodging the question.

"Why did Harry avoid the whole 'Athena takes me to safety?' Operation?" He grinned and eyed me, "Like I said, do you know what you do to me?" I felt like I was talking to a child. I huffed then rolled my eyes at this clown and kept walking.

His tight grip caught me and pulled me back onto his figure, "Why avoid something that's bound to happen?" I could feel his breath on me and his lower region. I felt so uncomfortable, I quickly elbowed him then spun around; he didn't seem affected. He stood smiling sickly at me, it didn't even hurt him. At least I was out of his grip.

"You can't touch me, Im not real." He grinned stepping closer. I took a step back and kept my full attention to him.

"But you can touch me? That's not fair."
He chuckled, "What's not fair is you being here, but not with me." His face turned to a frown and his eyes looked glossy but still malicious, "I want to mark you. I want you to be mine." He whispered at me, only causing me to stumble back and keep all eyes on him.

"Soon." Was his last word before turning to a dark cloud and vanishing. Soon. His voice rang in my head like a telephone.
