Darkness

Chapter 14

~Ava's POV~

Oh my god! What if she's getting hurt right this instant! Or or what if she's..no she can't be! She's darkness for gods sake.

Ohh god this is all my fault!

Pacing my room nervously I feel my powers pulse within my veins and clench my fists to suppress it. Taking deep breaths I try ringing darkness again but just like Lilith said it just goes straight to message bank. One thing I haven't felt in a long time has resurfaced, my anger. And boy have I tried for many, many years to control that!
When darkness basically shoved me out of the kitchen this morning I was in a state of shock when hades touched me that I didn't even realise my friends worry and fear. But no, instead I focused my attention on the hit and gorgeous, most sexy...argh I'm doing it again!

Reaching up I fist my hair and pull on it slightly in frustration.

"This is all my fault...this is all my fault.." I repeat over and over again.

Wiping a single tear away hades walls over and releases my hands from their tight grip on my hair. Looking at me in concern hades shakes his head.

"She's gonna be fine-"

"She's not fine hades!" I shout at him with angry tears spilling out "do you know what she's going through! Do you!"

Sighing hades ruffles his hair in a way that would have made my heart skip a beat but right now it's just making me boil even more.

"Of course I do. Her dad just hits her a bit to teach her lessons. He's been doing it for years. It's nothing Ava, to be honest she quite deserves it sometimes" hades shrugs sadly.

It's as if a fire has gone odd in the room because just as the words left his mouth I felt like my eyes were seriously burning from the anger enveloping me.

How dare he say that! Nobody even knows what she goes through and he just thinks she deserves it! Un..fuck..ing..be..lieve..able!a

"You think she deserves to get hit!...is that all you think she gets huh? Just a few hits! Well you must be fucking blind if you think all she does is get a 'few' hits!" I yell clenching my fists tightly.

Closing my eyes i take a deep breath Before I turn away from him without another glance and walk over to the window seat.

"Nobody deserves to get hit..not even the rapist or the murders in prison.." I say looking out the window.

Without looking up I can tell by the creak of the floorboards that hades has moved closer..and maybe also that heat radiating from him...but I'm meant to be mad at him right now so let's pretend I don't feel it...

"Look I know darkness is your friend and you may think you know her better than we do but...you don't. Darkness is not a person that has done good things, she's not that perfect girl you've made up in your head Ava. She's just as evil as her dad, youse two are too different...it'll never work" hades says taking a seat beside me.

Feeling my anger dissolve I now turn and look at hades with sadness.

"You may have known her longer, but I actually know 'her'... So don't tell me I don't know her because I do, because I bet you didn't know she not only gets hit by her father but abused, tortured, beaten, whipped..." Hades reaches out and wipes away my escaped tears with sad eyes now.

"Also I didn't make up an image of this perfect girl up in my head.. I'm not stupid I know w darkness is not good, I know she's anything but perfect but so am I...she and I have endured about the same amount of pain and heartache a girl should ever have to face. The only difference between me and her is that I deal with it in a different way" with that I push away his hand, standing up I walk to the door.

Opening the door I open it wide for him to leave. Sighing hades gets up after a few seconds.

Just before he walks past the door he turns back and looks at me wanting to say something.

"Oh and darkness isn't evil... She's just broken. I guess another thing we both have in common." I mumble before closing the door shut in his face.

Closing my eyes for just a second I regain my self and walk into the bathroom. Turning on the tap I wet my face and look up into the mirror thinking long and hard.

Ok...now how are we gonna save darkness Ava?
