All Beauty Lies Behind The Beast

Last Stop To Hell

I wanted to believe Damien was right that we would make it out alive, but there was a part of me that had a feeling we wouldn’t. I just danced in that same circular pattern with Damien until Tyler had cooled off enough to talk. He walked over to me apologizing for his actions.

“How are we going to make it out alive?” He asked smiling.

  “You two follow my every order; do not leave my side unless instructed. We must gather a group, start our own army against him” Damien said slamming his fist on the table nearby.

“I am going to go recruit some new members, so take care of Nicole while I am gone, please” Tyler said as he walked out the front door.

Damien grabbed me in his arms and smiled at me, there was something about him that I just couldn’t trust though. “What shall we do now?”

  “You could put me down for starters” I said trying to push myself away from him.

“Okay, I will put you down” He took me to his bedroom and gently plopped me on his bed.

At this point I was beyond uncomfortable, I wanted Tyler there and I wanted him to be holding me. “I have to go to the bathroom”

  “I can wait, go ahead we have plenty of time” He waved his hand for me to go.

I went in there and locked the door thinking I was safe, but I wasn’t because I tripped over a towel and fell right onto his razor set. I tried to move but I only bled more, I began to scream I needed help.

He burst through the door picked me up threw me down on the bed and began to take the razors, that had gotten stuck in my skin, out. “You are scared of me, but why?”

  “You tried to kill us before, and I don’t trust you with me alone” I was shaking by now; I just wanted to sleep and be with Tyler. I immediately remembered all the things we passed that night, all the houses and the children, I wondered if I would ever have time again to sit back and enjoy those things. Damien finished cleaning me up, and then got onto the bed with me. He pushed my hair back out of my face and kissed my forehead, “Rest up, there is nothing you should worry about with me” He held me in his arms and I fell sound asleep, I didn’t even care anymore. I needed the sense of comfort to have someone there with me. “Sweet dreams, Nicole”

 I awoke in the middle of the night, I was freezing. I couldn’t get comfortable and I was for some reason hungry. I rolled over and Damien was still there, he was passed out there was no waking him. I crawled out of bed and walked out into the living room, there sat the luminous silver beast. Tyler looked over at me and motioned for me to come over by him.

 “Did you sleep well?” Tyler asked.

“Yes I did, Damien made sure I was warm and safe he never left my side”

Tyler smirked. “Good, I am glad I chose him”

  “Chose who, for what?” I asked shocked by even the thought of him choosing somebody else for me to love.

“I have no chance at survival Nicole, and if anybody takes over for me, I want him to be the one who loves you and takes care of you” Tyler said grabbing me in his arms.

He was warm, and even warmer after he transformed, that’s one of the things that I was starting to like about him. He held me in his arms and nuzzled against my cheek, I enjoyed it and all of the hunger I had subsided. I curled up in his arms and fell back into a deep sleep.

Tyler woke me up in the morning and helped me up; Damien had made me a huge breakfast. I didn’t ask for much and was shocked that they had made a full course meal. I sat down and began to eat everything in sight, Damien and Tyler just looked at each other smiling.
