I paused, I knew I shouldn't, couldn't, do this. He turned back, walked up and grabbed me by the waist like he knew would get me to do anything, he started kissing me down my face, from my forehead down to my neck, where he delicately kissed me. He looked up into my eyes and spoke softly with this soft yet influential look.
" Come along, never leave, or else" he started to get tense and he grabbed me harshly and uncomfortably close
"Do you understand me Carri?!" he exclaimed
"My eyes locked with his and without my mind even processing anything I said yes."
Immediately after I said yes with a stutter, he strikes me across the face, as I broke into more tears. After this he started beating me until i couldn't move, until I couldn't even cry anymore. I was bloody and bruised. he started to drag me along as fast as possible and I felt as if I was being controlled by him, as if I couldn't say no. I started immediately crying hysterically knowing I wouldn't be in my hometown anymore, knowing he has more flaws that I realized, and now he was abusive?! What would I do, more importantly, what should I do. The idea immediately popped into my mind that I could just go along with this, and when we fall asleep I could surreptitiously leave and go to my actual house with the people I can get as close to loving as possible. We moved in, took the boxes and unpacked everything. The whole though, I was creeped out by the abandoned appearance, that gut feeling that something would just creepily pop out and murder me, tear me apart limb by limb. I bent over to unpack some boxes and Jamie came up behind me and reached for my shoulder. Once he touched me it sent chills down my spine and I jumped as I gasped loudly. He calmed me down and spoke to me
" Babe calm down it's just me", although in my mind a ghastly spirit was less scary than him at the moment. He came close and kissed me and told me that I should take a break and go upstairs to see the room he designed for us, with him. I obeyed his wish, because the last thing i wanted to do was get him upset. We arrived he opened the door and I was shocked at what he made of this tiny, wooden,dusty filled room. I was almost exactly like his room! Elegant as could be, but I didn't want that all the time. I wanted my quaint and comfortable room with purple and black sheets, a small bed, and posters and papers everywhere else. I hid my emotions and told him he did a great job to avoid any actual abuse. He picked me up, put me down on the bed, and we started kissing until he got to my neck once again as earlier, he knew I liked that, and I looked up with a smile. I saw something inhuman, a monstrosity, frail and tall with red eyes and long black hair covering it's face. I shrieked and he looked, it disappeared. Its trail of blood from where its heart was missing was left and he wondered what had happened. He started to look, but I couldn't afford to be left alone, so i held his hand and followed behind him. We couldn't find anything, and by eleven o'clock, we were ready for bed. I got into bed and so did he. We both wandered to sleep. I felt a tap on my shoulder, obviously it had to be Jamie again, so I turned around. With sleepy eyes I saw this grim creature again, fiery eyes staring at me, blood dripping, yellowing teeth, but immediately she covered my mouth before I could shriek.
"Get out of here!" she whispered in a creepy childish voice, and a creepier smile on her face
"Yes, yes I will, right away!" I responded vastly yet quietly.
"Good, and take your little boyfriend too, whoever isn't gone by 3:00 will be killed by me.. only their should made evil by me will be able to escape!" She informed me
"So if I keep him here, and I leave, he's yours right?" I asked questionably with a jittery voice
"Yes indeed" she spoke slowly as she was crisp with her words and slithered her s' like a snake, "More like his soul that I will feast on" she finished as she hissed maliciously
I grabbed my bag, It was 2:45, I had only minutes until I would be an immortal evil spirit. I threw my important belongings in it trying not to wake Jamie, for I wanted him to die for what he has done. I dashed out the door and ran and ran as I cried and looked back into the window to see her eyes peeking through the only part of her face that her hair wasn't covering. I looked away and couldn't find my way out of the dark forest, so I slid my back down the tree Jamie had taken me to, laid down, curled up, and I started bawling. I shed so many tears, that i couldn't breathe. A stray cat walked up to me and rub its body, it's tail trailing behind, along me , leaving me to jump. I looked frightened behind me, and this adorable black and tan cat with stunning yellow eyes pecked me on the nose with it's own. it curled up in my arms, and i felt myself starting to fall asleep with its comfort, the breeze, the stars, and the sound of the crickets. I looked at my phone, it was 2:59 a.m., I knew in just a couple of seconds, Jamie would belong to that hideous creature, he wouldn't own me anymore. I dosed off with his jacket around me, and the cat in my arms. The clock changed to 3:00 and I heard shrieks from deep in the forest. I dug my face into his jacket, I took a big whiff. I knew i'd miss actually having a love, but to him I was just his toy. I wasn't a person, just a heart he could mess with. Was the love truly worth the pain, probably not. Would I know now, no. He was dead and gone. This very though of my freedom made me finally wander off into pleasant dreams. I knew in the morning I would wake up in the beautiful meadow, to a beautiful stream, and I would find my way out. Hopefully. All I could do now was pray to god, something I didn't even know was there.
