A Fatal Passion Forged In Black ~Motionless In White

~ Chapter 8 ~

Abigail's POV

-

I run my fingers through my hair and Ricky looks at me.

"Are you okay?" He asks. I'm not. I'm far from okay. I shake my head and start to cry again.

My mind goes to what he just told me. He loves me. But I was too selfish to see it at first. I ignored him, and I hurt him. I steady my breathing and look up at him.

"I'm sorry," I tell him and he looks at me funny.

"For what?"

"You loved me and I was too selfish to see it. I'm sorry, that I hurt you," I say ashamed. "And for punching you in the face," he laughs at that.

"No, its all my fault. I never should have done what I did, but I did it. You have nothing to be sorry for," he says shaking his head. I really don't want him keep putting himself down over the past. Again, as I get ready to speak, my phone goes off again. Its a text from Victoria.

Hey, sorry but i wont be back home tonight or tomorrow~Vic

I sigh. I really don't like the thought of being alone tonight. Or ever again.

"What's wrong?" He asks with concern.

"My roommate isn't coming home tonight." I say pulling my knees up to my chest.

"I-I could stay here, I mean if you want. If you don't, thats fine to, I mean whatever." He rambles and I laugh.

"Sure, thank you."

Not long after, we decide to get some rest. Im so tired and I fall asleep in minutes.

***

My eyes flutter open and I'm in a room lit by a red light. It isn't very bright, but I can see out for a few feet before my eyes adjust. I try to move my hands, but when I look down I notice that I'm only in my bra and underwear and my hands are chained to the wall behind me.

"Help!" I scream, horrified. I hear a chuckle come from the corner across the room. After staring at the place it came from for a moment, I can make out a figure sitting down. He rises up and slowly makes his way toward me.

"Help!" I scream louder.

"Don't bother sweetheart, no one can hear you." He says so calmly that it send chills down my spine. As he steps closer into the light, I can see his face, it's Balz. He smirks at me and softly strokes my face, his hand slowly trailing down my body.

"Please," I beg, "don't hurt me." He just laughs.

"Poor princess, little Ricky isn't here to save you now, is he?"  he speaks cooly. I lower my head as tears stream down my face. He's going to kill me.

His head all of a sudden snaps over to a table a couple of feet away. He walks over and picks something off of it, a whip. Oh god. He looks back at me smirking.

"Stupid girl, almost too easy." He grins and cracks the whip below him.

"Please," I choke. Again, he just laughs in response and swings the whip across my chest. I scream out in pain and he lashes my legs. Then my stomach, then my arms. Then my face. Over and over again and I can feel myself getting dizzy. I drop to the floor in pain.

"Get up." He growls and his foot crashes into my stomach.

"I said get the fuck up!" Someone shouts, but it isn't Balz. Its father.

He bends down to my level, "You fucking, ungrateful bitch." He spits, "I said get the fuck up!" He shouts. Slowly, I force myself to stand up, and almost fall over. I'm about to pass out.

He walks over to someone else chained to the wall opposite of me. Oh god, it's Devin. He then looks back to me and smirks as he pulls a knife out of his pocket.

"No! Don't hurt him!" I scream so loud it hurts my throat. "Let him go!" Its no use. Devin looks at me sadly and he plunges the knife into his side. I watch in horror as he slides down the wall choking. Blood pours out of his wound and all the life leaves his body.

"No! No!"

"Abigail!" Someone else shouts.

Ricky's POV

-

I wake to the sound if Abby whimpering in her sleep.

"No, don't hurt him," she cries. She's having a nightmare.

"No! No!" She screams. I get out of the bed and run over to her.

"Abigail," I say, shaking her. "Abby," I say again louder. She wakes up and looks into at me. The look in her eyes is awful, and as she realizes it was a dream she starts crying. I pull her into my arms and ship grips onto me and she sobs into my bare chest.

"Shh, it wasn't real, you're okay." After a minute she calms down and I let her go. "You okay." She nods slightly but doesn't look at me. I get up from the bed but she grabs my hand.

"Please, don't leave me," she whimpers and it almost breaks my heart. I nod and climb into her bed and wrap my arms around her.

"I won't let anything hurt you, I promise," I whisper into her hair. And with all my life, I will keep that promise.
