Chapter 4 Chapter 4

I moved a little I had a peaceful sleep without any troubling thoughts yawning I noticed that I was in someone’s arms. It was Darrin of course no one else was allowed that close to me or Darrin would probably cut off their head. In my mind it was meant as a joke but I wasn’t so sure that he wouldn’t do that. I stared at Darrin as he slept he looked so peaceful and perfect that I couldn’t wake him. I began wondering if he had ever killed anyone. Probably not I tried to reassure myself Darrin was too nice to do anything like that. Remembering the murderous look he had given my father yesterday I began to doubt myself. Was he only nice to me? The sad thing was I already knew the answer to that, he was.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t notice Darrin had woken up he just smiled at me gently waiting for me to realize that I was still staring at him. I almost jumped when I did but managed to remain calm, “Darrin have you ever killed somebody?” I asked tilting my head slightly.

Darrin’s face darkened a bit and he sat up pulling me with him. “Yes”, he replied after a while as he ran his hands through my hair. My jaw dropped how could he say that with that type of peaceful smile on his face? Was he a monster? He obviously noticed my shock because he shook his head sadly, “Just forget it okay.” He said kissing me.

This time I didn’t return the kiss. How could I “just forget” that he killed someone? Did he expect me to? I lightly pushed him away. I knew I didn’t have the strength to actually push him away so at least this was he knew I wasn’t happy. He stopped and looked into my eyes as if asking what was wrong. He bloody well knew what was wrong I thought anger filling me. Composing myself I asked him seriously, “W…Why did you kill someone?” I tripped over the question trying to form the words.

It scared me and I wasn’t sure that I actually wanted to know the answer. In fact I was pretty sure that I didn’t but I needed to know. I refused to remain blind to everything that was going on around me like I used to be. He had controlled my life long enough and now he seemed to think everything was back to how it used to be. It was NEVER going to be like that again I promised myself. This time he would have to be honest with me and actually let me talked to other people.

“Why? You don’t need to know that.” He answered softly kissing my neck.  Really? I thought to myself. I don’t need to know that and yet you need to know everyone I pass by on the street and where I am at all times. Yeah, right. I pushed as hard as I could against his chest and tried to wiggle out of his strong arms. Sadly it didn’t work it just made him unhappy.

“Krystal, seriously? I finally get you to not hate me anymore for less than a day and we are already back to that?”

I looked down at his well-muscled chest and blushed. Why did he have to have that effect on me? Did he like confusing me? I swallowed hard trying to find the right words to say, “Umm, I guess. It is your fault you won’t tell me the truth! You keep avoiding the topics you don’t want to talk about and when it comes to me you always had either a guard or you by my side at all times. Why is it that you can have secrets but I can’t” I said letting all of my anger out at him. Then realizing everything I had said I covered my mouth waiting for him to get mad. Instead he looked at me lovingly and just kissed me on the fore head before leaving the room.

When I realized what he had done I started banging my head in frustration. He did it again! He effectively manipulated the conversation getting what he wanted out of me and not really telling me anything. Why was I so easy to trick? I thought cursing myself as I headed towards the baths where like always there was an outfit waiting for me. This time it was silver flowing dress and a pair of elegant heels. After a quick bath I got ready wondering what the occasion was.
