His Dark Side

Seven

"You can't keep dancing with the devil and ask why you're in hell."

As I try to open my eyes, Alex was carrying me but I don't know where. I am too weak to fight him.
"Put me down." I murmur trying to open my eyes but I can't.

"Hush baby... I'm done with your smart mouth. Save it for later." He says and lays me on the bed. He slides a new shirt on my body and covers it with the sheet.

"I'm gonna make your life a living hell." He says while moving a strand of hair from my face.
I try to say something but he covers my mouth giving me a warning look. That do not say a word!!!!

I drift into sleep dreaming of dark places.

I woke up with a jolt. As I feel something heavy thing is on my stomach.
I try to move my head to see. And I'm surprised to see its Alex head which is resting on my stomach.

I remembered what he said before I sleep took over me.
"I'm gonna make your life a living hell." He's words were echoing in my head. I started to shake at his words.
"Why Alex? Why?" I said looking at his beautiful face which looks so peaceful and innocent in his sleep.

I shake him off of me making him jump at my reaction.
"What? What happened?" He said scanning the room. And finally his eyes stopped at mine.

"Why Alex?" I said with tears running down my face.
He's still confuse at my outburst. That lousy bastard!
"What wrong have I done to you?" This time my voice is louder.

He finally seems to understand what am talking about. As a smile crosses his face.

"You look more sexy when you're angry. And the fact that you're wearing nothing under my shirt. It. Really. Turns. Me. On." He says each word by taking one step at a time towards me.

As he took few steps toward me. I also took few steps trying to get away from him. But I fail! I tremble and just about to hit the ground.

When Alex caught me. "You're weak Eve. Take rest." He says and stands me up.
"I'm weak that's only because of you." I'm in his bedroom and see the red faint blood on the sheets. I blush.

He pulls me close to his chest making me jump. "I know I want to make you suffer but right now we both are tired. So let's go to bed." He says and pushes me on the bed with him.

"I can sleep in the room. Which I slept yesterday night." I said while trying to get up but he won't let me!
"It's okay. I can share my bed." He says and buries his face in my hair inhaling deeply.

I try to calm myself as I'm crying. It's just these silly tears just won't stop flowing.

I wasn't able to sleep. But Alex was all souring and cuddling me. Keeping me close to his body. I can feel the heat radiating from his body.

Suddenly he tightens his grip around my chest. He's murmuring something in his sleep. And starts to scream making me jump, he's having a nightmare. "Alex!" I got up and started to wake him.

He hurriedly opened his eyes scanning the whole room. At last his eyes lands at mine. His whole body his dipping in sweat.

I don't know what happened. He suddenly grabs my throat squeezing it slowly. He has lift me from my feet by my throat. I try to scratch him on his hand on my throat with my nails but it has no effects on him.

"Your parents killed my parents. Now I'm gonna take my revenge on you." He's growling at me.

He's squeezing the life out of me. As my visions were started to blurry.

He drops me. I started to cough taking the precious air in my lungs.

As I get the strength to get up. I ran out of his room.
I was almost going to fall on the stairs, but luckily I didn't.
I went out his house, towards the big Lawn he has. I trembled and fell on my knees.

"What the hell he was talking about?" I'm panting from all the running. The sun was setting, the little warmth it's providing feels good on my bared skin. As I was only wearing his shirt.

"My parents killed his parents ?" I fell on my back landing on the soft grass looking at the sky.
"No."
"No."
"He's talking nonsense. It's impossible." I shake off that thought. He almost killed me. Though he looked scared.

"What he saw in his nightmare that he almost killed me?" I said while looking at the sky as clouds pass by...

"Today's my birthday. But it feels like I've been punished for my birth in this cruel world everyday!" I closed my eyes as my tears started to flow.
I covered my face with my hands and started to scream.....

"I hate you Alex." I say as I wipe away my tears and closed my eyes feeling the warmth of the setting sun in my skin.

"This feels good....." And I start to process everything that happened today and yesterday night...

"The drinking.....The sex... The truth....His parents.....
