S2 Chapter 11 - ''Who am I?''

Razor Jenkins

I strolled through the woods heading towards the underground base of the Dark Kingdom in search for Miko.

My name is Razonya Emilia Jenkins. Razor for short. People always had trouble pronouncing my name. 

I'm twenty two years old and a high school dropout with no family. My mother died of thyroid cancer when I was in my sophomore year. As for my father he was shot in the spine as a teenager. He was never in my life but I always wondered what it would be like if he was alive.

It's always only been me and my mom, she's the only person I've ever had in my life. When she died it broke my heart. It shattered my world. I didn't know what to do. She's all I ever relied on, all I ever knew. The only person I opened my heart up to. And she was just gone.

I fell into a suicidal depression. I had no other relatives, they were all dead. I had no money, no family. I was going to be evicted soon and they were going to put me into foster care.

I didn't want that. I was planning to run away with everything that I had left. My allowance, a few snacks, two outfits and a bottle of water. 

But it didn't go as I planned. The world is a cruel place. And I understood that even more once I stepped out into the streets that night. I was robbed of all my belongings. My clothes tore up. My legs and arms all cut up. There wasn't a light, there wasn't a savior. It was only me, all alone, bleeding out on the sidewalk under a blinking streetlight.

Or so I thought.

That night, he found me. Miko. I never knew him, I always saw him around school hanging out with the other seniors but that was about it. Up until now this was our first ever interaction.

He was out on his way to the pharmacy to pick up some medicine. But instead he stopped and helped me. Listened to my story. Offering to take me in and make sure I don't get thrown into the foster care system.

From there on he became my knight in shining armor. He was all I lived for. I naturally fell in love with him. How couldn't I? He saved my life.

However, one thing I failed to realize is that he is the definition of toxic.

It started out mild. A few signs here and there. But it became frequent. Constant. Almost every day he would come home drunk or drugged up, high out of his fucking mind.

Apparently he was notorious for shooting up heroine. Him and his friends would do it every day. They even sold it around. Made loads of cash off of it.

I didn't know his past. I didn't know the reason he was doing these things. It felt kinda scary not knowing anything about him because he knew everything about me. And whenever I tried to take one step closer he would push me away. Whenever I asked he would yell at me.

I tried to ignore it since I couldn't approach the problem. He wouldn't let me. It made me fear him. But what really got to me is the night he came home fucked up out of his mind and his sex drive high.

I didn't want it. I tried to stop it. But I couldn't deny him. He hit me for the first time. Blow by blow. I couldn't even breathe. He was knocking the life out of me.

That was only the beginning of the abuse to come.

I took a deep breath trying not to think about it anymore as I stopped in front of my destination. My palms were sweaty but I gathered my courage and entered the place.

It's okay. It's all in the past.

All that matters now is stopping him. That's the goal.

''Hello Razonya.'' Miko greeted. I freaked out almost jumping out of my skin since he was nowhere in my line of sight. Quickly thinking I turned around only to be face to face with him.

''... I knew I would find you here.'' I stated sounding breathless due to all the fear.

He chuckled. ''You always knew me the best.''

''I know nothing about you,'' I spat bitterly. ''Even what I do know now I want to forget.''

''But I love you.'' Miko expressed out of nowhere, making me freeze up and speechless.

He's lying. He's doing it to trick you.

''Why are you doing this?'' I asked, changing the subject.

Miko smirked. ''That's a secret..'' He stepped closer. ''That only Sci-fi can tell.''

I backed away from him. ''You want something, right? If you get something it'll make you stop, right? What is it?''

''You.''
