He Loves Through a Knife

Chapter 6

~~~
    "Please, stop..." Her voice cracks and sounds terribly weak. The man standing in front of her twirls the knife around in his hand. His face seems as he's thinking. "Oh, but I don't wanna stop.." He pulls the girl up close to his face and smiles. He starts moving strands of blonde hair out of her face. The girl shakes, afraid he'll strike out of nowhere. "Now, who's a pretty girl?" He asks grinning widely. The girl stays quiet not daring to make a sound. His grin slowly fades when he doesn't hear a response and clenches his fists. He licks his lips and takes a breath.

   "Baby..did you not hear me? Who's my pretty girl?" He repeats himself, irritated at having to do that. The girl meekly responds and his wide grin returns. He pulls her toward him and begins kissing her and trailing down to her neck. He leaves little marks as he goes further. She stands there trembling and crying as he takes advantage of her. He rips her shirt and starts sucking just above her breast. Without warning, the girl pushes him back causing him to drop the knife. She runs off but doesn't get far before she feels a sharp pain in her back. She's freezes not knowing what to do next, she drops to her knees. The man stands right behind with the brightest smile on his face. He pulls the knife out of her back and watches as she falls back and begins bleeding out. "You shouldn't have done that.." And with a quick slice to the throat, her life completely fades away.

    Ashton pulls the covers off, sweat dripping from her forehead. She was burning up and felt like she was being suffocated. It was difficult to breathe. She sat up and looked around confused. This wasn't her room? Wait, Andy had brought her here, she shook her head. She needed fresh air. She got up from the bed and walked out the door. She met a long hallway and to the left of her a huge staircase. She walked downstairs where another set of stairs and hallways opposite of each other waited. Her brow furrowed in confusion. Where the heck did Andy take her?

    She continued on down the steps into a huge living area. Massive like doors stood in front of her. She looked to the right and saw a enormous dinning room. Further in she walked into the kitchen. God this place was humongous. Ashton went back to the living space and walked to the left instead. She opened the doors to a grand ball room. She gasped at amazement. "Holy shit.." She said as she step past the doors. "Beautiful isn't it?" Ashton jumped back only to see Andy. "Jesus christ Andy, what's with you scaring the hell out of me?" Andy brought her into a tight embrace and kissed her. "Sorry." He apologized.

   "Oh! I got you something princess!" He ran out of the room leaving Ashton standing by the door awkwardly. He came back in carrying a white box tied with a blue ribbon in his hands. "Here, open it." He handed her the box and waited impatiently for her to open it. "But..it's not a special occasion is it? I didn't get you anything.." Ashton asked worried just as she undid the ribbon. Andy shook his head just beaming. Ashton confused as she was, obliged and finished opening the gift. She put her hand to her mouth and gasped. "Oh my god.." She said lifting up a beautiful, long, royal blue dress. "Ya know..? I'm not much of a dress person but this..this is gorgeous. Thank you." She kissed his cheek.

   "I'm glad you like it, now go put it on!" Andy says with much enthusiasm. "I want to see my princess in her stunning, new dress!" Ashton blushes and hurries up the steps to the bedroom. As she walked back she couldn't help but think how exhilarated Andy was. He was excited, it was nice to see him enjoying things and being happy. And she was beyond happy on how close she and Andy have gotten in the last week. It seemed as though he was meant to be with her. Soul mates. She smiled.

  Ashton walked back down the second set of stairs, while Andy waited for her at the bottom. He looked up to meet Ashton's eyes with his, his jaw dropped. The sparkled straps fell past her shoulders while the dress itself fell to the floor. She had only been gone for maybe ten minutes and had already fixed her hair and had her makeup perfectly done. Ashton knew her cheeks were bright red. Andy took her hand and walked her into the ball room once again. In this lighting she could see that Andy had put on a black suit with a royal blue tie and had cut his hair. One side shaved while the other fell longer but was cut shorter this time past his eyes. He still had littles cuts and a small bruise on his cheek. "What is this all for?" Ashton asked looking all over Andy. He didn't say anything, just smiled. "What is this place?" She asked another question.

  Andy took one of her hands with one of his and place his free hand around her small waist. Ashton followed his lead. "Is it important?" He asked, beginning to slow dance. Ashton slow danced with him, smiling. "I'm just curious.." Andy stayed quiet for a minute before answering. "My great grandparents use to own this place...but due to World War II, they left the place in a rush not bothering to look back.." He continued. "I came here once with my mother a few years ago. She talked about tearing it down but since she's a drunk whore, she forgot about it completely. So..now I come here, and admire its beauty and wonder how my family  once owned something so elegant and beautiful.." his voice was soft and soothing. Different from his normal tone. Ashton looked at Andy's beautiful blue eyes and gave his lips a small peck. He kissed her back with a  soft kiss then pulled back slowly. " This place is very special to me, I would like to share it with you.." he kissed her again but this kiss was different. It wasn't demanding or rough but instead soft and tender, full of care. Andy took his time with the way he kissed Ashton, making sure to be patient. Ashton felt his lips move slowly against hers. She wrapped her arms around him, taking in the kiss. Warmth and butterflies was what she felt, like she had kissed Andy for the first time, she loved it.

   He pulled away making Ashton sad that the beautiful kiss had ended. The warm feeling going away. But Andy  smiled and with three small words made her heart jump. "I love you, Ashton..."
