Taken

"Im hosting a party"

I listen as she yells.im all the way in my room. They took her to the cell and I can still hear her yelling,begging them for some mercy.  then I hear  gun shots. The rest is silence. It feels like I've stopped breathing. The world has stopped moving. I can't believe this just happened. They actually did it. Daniel did this, him and his cruelty. I stay on my bed shaking trying to get the thoughts out off my head but they don't leave.

I hear footsteps. The door opens and I shake in fear "baby girl what's wrong" his voice boils my blood. He sits next to me and begins brushing my hair with the hands that most likely killed her. Daniel let's out a heavy breath and pulls my hair causing me to look up at him "I asked what's wrong"

"N-nothing" I reply till this day I'm still scared of him

"Good" he smiles at me and caresses my cheek softly. I feel disgusted. His smile disappears "she's dead if that's what you're wondering and yes I killed her" he comes closer and breathes on my neck "I couldn't risk it baby I couldn't risk loosing you" he kisses my neck then bites it I flinch a little and try to stay still. He stops and gets up."go make dinner" I quickly get up and hurry downstairs. I enter the kitchen and begin getting the ingredients to make chicken pasta. I get the pots,knife and seasoning I lay everything on the kitchen island and begin preparing the meal I can barely focus I keep thinking about her and how they did kill her. I some how wish it would've been me,my hands begin to shake as I cut the chicken I hear Dylan's voice along with Daniel and my whole body trembles in fear how do they do this to me is this even normal. I pick up the pace and cut the chicken faster as they approach. They enter the kitchen and I feel Daniel behind me I keep cutting the chicken. I feel his hands on my waist the hands that committed murder and my knife slips cutting my hand. I drop the knife and wince as I hold my wounded hand. Daniel quickly turns me around and examines my hand Dylan approaches and checks too but he is mostly looking at my face

"It's not that deep" he gets a napkin and wipes he blood away "the little ones always hurt more" he looks at it once again "you'll be fine,keep cooking" I sigh underneath my breath and turn around my hand hurts to even move it I try to finish cutting the chicken it's very hard but I manage

"I'll be leaving today" I hear Dylan say as he chugs down a can of beer "everything's pack"

"You don't have to" Daniel says as he eats an apple

"Nah it's time my brotha,time for me to live in my house" he throws the can away and sits on the stool. I turn to the stove and pour the now cut chicken in the pan. I grab the pasta and break it  putting it into the pot with boiling water. I turn back to the kitchen island and begin making homemade sauce

"If you say so" Daniel gets up and pats his back "be here for the party tho"

"Wouldn't miss it"

Daniels phone begins to ring. He walks out the kitchen as he picks it up leaving Dylan and I alone. I keep occupying myself once I finish making the sauce. I get the broom and begin sweeping the kitchen floor

"Woah What did the broom ever do to you" he casually says. I ignore him and keep sweeping I try relaxing but I can't not when his presence is here. I have mixed emotions of fear and anger "I must say underneath all the changes  in your face I can still see Bella"

I stop and look up at the ceiling clenching my jaw while I close my eyes shut and then the words come out "I'm not Bella I'm Veronica" I listen to myself in shock but I don't care anymore. He stays quiet. I put the broom back and head to the stove to stir the pot.

"Not to me" silence takes over I feel his eyes watching me as I begin to serve the food. He gets up and starts helping me

"I don't need your help" I spit out taking the cups away from him in the progress our hands touch I quickly pull away and a cup falls and breaks

He gets the broom  " I wouldn't be so sure about that" he sweeps the shattered pieces  of glass while I finish setting up the table

------------------

I watch as Daniel helps Dylan with his bags down the stairs. Once they reach the main floor they drop the bags and give each other a hug "you're always welcome here" Daniel says as they part from the hug

"Thanks " they grab the bags again and open the door and head outside. I watch,staring outside they're not in my sight I could try but what if trying gets me dead don't I wanna be dead? Yes I do. I begin walking to the door I'm about to step outside when Dylan suddenly gets  in my way I jump back from the sudden appearance.

"Came to say bye" I let out a breath I relax as he gives me a smile "I'll visit to check up on you"

I scoff and shake my head "bye Dylan"

He comes closer "I'm serious"

I clear my throat "bye.."

He shakes his head "I'm gonna prove you wrong" he puts a strand of my hair behind my ear

"Don't"I say as my voice cracks. He pulls me into a hug a tight warm hug I forgot how a generous hug felt like but he reminded me. I don't pull away neither does he we just stay there. I pull him closer and tighten the hug. Daniel walks in and stares at us. We slowly pull away

"Till then Veronica" he turns to Daniel  with a smile and walk out. Closing the door Daniel turns my way. I turn to walk away

"You know you're mine right" i stop and nod. He stands behind me "all mine" he adds I can hear it in his voice I can tell he's upset. He grips my arm and turns me around to face him "if I see what I saw a second ago again I'll kill both of you" I nod looking at the floor. Daniel let's me go and I run up the stairs to my room. I jump on the bed and get underneath the covers. Minutes later he enters the room and sits on the bed he runs a hand through his hair and begins undressing. I watch him making sure he doesn't notice as he takes off his shirt revealing his perfect upper body. He begins taking off his pants and I stay watching. He grabs his clothes and hangs it in his neat closet . Turning around Daniel walks my way. I stop staring at him and look down at the sheets. He sits infront of me.

"Look at me" I look up at him. His hair is messy and his jawline seems sharper than ever he is so good looking..on the outside "why are you nervous around me"

"I-I'm not"

"I don't tolerate lies Veronica" he says in a threatening voice

I open my mouth to say it but the words won't come out I finally manage to force them out "I'm scared I might do something wrong"

"And why's that"

"Because I do everything wrong" I'm trying so hard not to make eye contact  instead I  look down at my figity hands "and doing something wrong equals punishment"

"You're right" is all he says we stay quiet for minutes I finally dare to look up i see him deep in thoughts. I clear my throat causing him to snap out of his thoughts "I'm hosting a party" I play with my fingers while I listen "I want everyone to meet my knew wife" I freeze I've forgotten that he made me his wife. "Say something" he demands

"That's-that's good"

" it's tomorrow at noon I suggest you be on your best behavior" he gets up from the bed I look up at his back "or I swear Veronica" he turns my way I quickly look down "why don't you try and find out but a little hint" he heads to the bathroom "you'll end up paralyzed for life after what I'll do to you" he slams the door. I curl into a ball and reminisce. I miss my family my mom,dad,auti god he must be big and Derek I wonder if he moved on I wonder if they all moved on and given up on finding me.
