Kilgrave's Desire

Kilgrave's haunting past

Kilgrave's entire body goes stiff...his biceps bludge as the voice reaches out ears. I have no idea who that voice belongs to but she doesn't sound like a plesant person. I glance up at Kilgrave who clenched and inflected his jaw several times. Is the girl from his past? An old girlfriend? I start to turn to look at who was shouting in our direction but he places his hand on mine pulling my attention back to,him.

"Don't turn around...let's keep going," he whispered through clenched teeth. I can sense tension radiating off of him but we continue on our way putting distance between whoever yelled.

"Hey asswhole I am talking to you," the voice shouts again. I feel my skin crawl from her voice it hits me like ice even though I don't know who it is.

"Miss. Jones I do not have time for your childish antics," Kilgrave called over his shoulder. He knows who it is? "As you can see I am busy."

"Yeah and how long has she been under your control, Kevin?" her voice rings with anger and venom as her mouth wraps around his name.

In a quick instant Kilgrave grabs my arm and twists me around so I am standing behind him as he turns to face this Miss Jones. I bury my face in his suit jacket as I cling to him like a terrified child. I glance over around his arms that tense more as he glares at this girl. I make eye contact with a girl who is not much taller than me, skinnier despite my condition, she is pale, her long black hair hangs carelessly around her face as her dark eyes pierce daggers into him.

"I figured if you were dead you would stay dead," she sneered as she takes a step towards us but he does not retreat, he stands his ground.

"Ah but you are mistaken as always," he retorts remaining calmer than before.

"I thought I smelled shit on the street and look to my surprise you are at your games again...that poor girl is under your control and you probably raped her too," she yelled violently at him as she gestures in my direction.

Rape? There is that word again...is she the reason he hates the word? Is she one,of the girls he put under his control? I watch helplessly but her accusations are starting to ruin my night and I have no clue who the hell she is but I dont appreciate it.

"If you are under his control know this he will not last much longer I'll make sure he is dead," she spits as she lunged towards us. No no no!

I run out from behind Kilgrave and immediately use my gift to stop her in midstep as she already has her arm cranked back ready to hit him. I have my hands raised in front of my face as I naturally winced thinking she was going to hit me but she is frozen. Unable to move...powerless.

"What the hell," she stammered in frustration.

"I am not under his or anyone's control," I hiss as I narrow my eyes. "You tried to attack my fiance and I do not appreciate someone compromising his well-being especially since he is going to be a father."

Her eyes shoot up in shock of my words. Her eyes move from mine to my abdomen...despite the fact that I am standing in front of her She clearly can see my slightly protruding belly. She stammers a few phrases that are inaudible but I know they were along the lines of shock.

"Fiance?" she repeats in disbelief.

"Yes...I am marrying him of my own free will and I don't care if your his crazy ex girlfriend but he is mine now and next time I see you, I will make sure you will never be able to see anyone again," I order my hormones taking over and turning my emotions into rage and anger.

Kilgrave placed his hand on my shoulder which made me to turn around. I released the girl as she fell to her knees staring at me in freight that I was gifted.

"That is enough, Melody," he urged with a smile. I turn around to apologize to the girl but she was gone. I look at him in confusion. Who the hell is she?

"That was Jessica Jones...I am sorry you ran into her," he answered my,unasked question. "Come let's get dinner and I will tell you about her." Like that...we left arm in arm heading back to dinner. As we walk Kilgrave chuckled to himself softly. I glance up at him curious about why he is laughing.

"You called me your fiance," he comments with a coy smile. "So much for waiting until you felt comfortable with us being what we are."

"I said it out of anger," I counter firmly as my cheeks start to turn red. "I still feel firmlybabout that...so please drop it..besides...you owe me an explanation about Jessica." with that we continue down the sidewalk to our dinner in silence.

We walk into a quaint little diner that serves all sorts of Italian cuisine. The smell of frehly made pasta and sauce hits my noise and makes my mouth full with water. We get a table immediately...thanks to Kilgrave...but im,too hungry to care. We both order water and our meals almost instaneously of sitting down. I sit comfortably across from dim feeling eyes on me. I glance around nervously as women and men glance in our direction murmuring to one another. It makes me feel uneasy since I know I look younger than my age so I'm sure compared to Kilgrave I look like a high school student who hooked up with her teacher.

"What is the matter?" he asked quietly with a curious grin as he rests his chin on the back of his hands.

"People keep looking at us...at me," I whisper even though I can still feel his words telling me to not care what other say or think.

"They are simply looking with envy," he huffs with disbelief.

"I doubt that," I mumble as I place my hands on my stomach defensively. "I look like I am sixteen let's be honest they are looking at me like a teenage girl who got pregnant by her history teacher or something."

He chuckled at my words and shakes his head. I look at him in confusion. I did not know my condition and how people are looking at me was amusing.

"If that is the case, I'll set them straight but first I owe you an explanation about Miss Jones," he replied calmly.

I fold my hands on the table as I put the frequent stares in the back of my mind though I know they are stares of concerned people. I watch in anticipation as he takes a sip of his wine as he prepares to tell me,about that girl who nearly attacked him.

"Miss Jones was saving a friend from muggers when I first met her. She had a smart mouth almost like you when I first met you," he begins. "Anyway we had a relationship but she was under my control but I always gave her a choice in things we did and one choice she made was to kill someone and she blames me and she is the very creature who coined the phrase that I raped her when I never touch a woman unless she wants me too."

He had her under his control at one point. Was he in love with her? She accused him of raping her? She killed a person? Is she gifted?

"I was In love with her and after she left of her own accord she made it her life mission to kill me....I however in my own darkest period sought power to control her since no one ever had escaped me before and I knew to protect myself I needed to be stronger and more powerful," he explains. The more he explained the more of him I see. "Well I was foolish and used her best friend against her and she in turn thought she snapped my back to kill me but she really just broke part of my neck and so I vowed to avoid a woman so mentally unstable and bent on my death after I recovered."

"She thought she killed you," I repeat in surprise.

"Yes and as you can imagine she is not happy that I am still alive breathing air which may put you and our twins in trouble," he explains as our food is placed before us.

"Is she gifted?" I ask

"Yes but her gifts are super human strength and she can fly....sort of," he replied patiently.

"How long ago were you two...um together?" I ask nervously hoping I am not a rebound girl. He paused at my question for a moment as if he was doing mental calculations.

"We dated for only a year and two months and that ended five years ago," he smiles as he scooped up some pasta on his fork.

I smiled as I did the same. At least it was not recently that they broke up. I ate my food I silence as the face of the girl who haunts his past now started to haunt my future....our future. Will she come back? Will she try to hurt Kilgrave? Hurt me? Or worse...will she come back and hurt our children?
