Black Beauty [ON HOLD]

Black Beauty: Chapter 5 - Secrets

Just one minute left. You almost reached.

"I know."

Will you make it though?
30 seconds left.

"Fuck."

I reached my wreck of a cottage coated in black. It was all I had left of me after he arrived.

I scrambled for my key and shoved it in to the lock.

10 seconds left.

"Bloody hell, open!"

Click.

I pushed open the door, slammed it shut and ran to the restroom.

3, 2, 1.

Shutting the door behind me and turning on the lights, I slowly looked at the mirror, which threw back a horrifying creature.

Red spiky skin, bloodshot yellow-coloured eyes, 5 inch claws sticking out of its knuckles and a sharp set of jaws tucked in its mouth. The real me.

Next to the creature hovered a dark shadow. It slowly crept up towards the creature's head and stayed there. 

Ahh. It's so refreshing to come out of that confined space.

"I'm sorry."

No, dear. It wasn't you to blame. Meeting that man was a mere accident.

"Right."

I sighed and opened the bathroom door, to see a pair of painfully familiar red eyes staring back at me.

After escorting him to his side of the cottage, I placed him into his case he had arrived in. It was built out of black wood and the design that was carved into it was marv'. I never knew how it looked on the inside, as I wasn't allowed to enter. All I know was that inside that case was a whole new world.

Planting a kiss on the shadow, I whispered, "Goodnight, love."

Goodnight, dear. I love you.

"I love you too."

I don't love you. I fucking despise you. I hate you.
