Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Uncontrollable

Adan

Evelyn's eyes were tearing, and they looked at me with fear, hate and disgust. Her hands were trembling and I could hear her soft whimpers. I didn't show it, but my heart clenched whenever she showed evidence of detesting me, which happened to be all the time apparently. It made me want to go down on my knees, say sorry and appease her. But that was just weak, unlike me; my affections made me so weak.

Truth was, the minute I set my eyes on her, heard her speak, a feeling that we were meant to be struck me. I wanted to take her down to my quarters, keep her there, so that she would be just mine. It was a feeling so strong, impossible to ignore. Though, it seemed so irrational, and it left my emotions completely at her mercy. No way in hell was I going to show that. My mind told me to hate her, since she was the cause of all my emotional torment. My heart however, begged for her attention and care, like how any pathetic human being would need consoling from their spouses.

"Drink," I said. My tone was hard and stern. Her frail slender fingers wrapped around my wrists, trying to pull the glass away from her mouth. "Drink it," I commanded once more, pressing the glass harder onto her mouth, hoping that she would give up soon. I couldn't stand torturing and tormenting her like this, she looked like she was in pain.

Soon her lips parted slightly and gave way to the red substance. Only a small amount seeped in, but that was enough. Her face contorted at first, she found the blood sickening. I willed my mind towards her and prodded her thoughts.

What have I done to deserve this? He just wants to ruin my life; wish he could just burn in hell where he belongs. I tried my hardest not to show the grimace on my face, if only she could understand.

After her first taste, she started enjoying it. Evelyn took a few big gulps, emptying the martini glass quickly. Her eyes widened when she realized what she had done. She took a few wobbly steps away from me. What happened to me? I was drinking that like I was a demon. A demon. That was what we were trying to make her. We needed her to be one. Not for our own personal gain, Hollie and me, but because she was of age. There were so many reasons why other monsters were going to try to kill her now; to make me or Jason fall, to tap on her powers. She needed to learn to protect herself. This was the first step.

"What have you done to me?" She spat at me. Evelyn was enraged, she looked at me like she wanted to kill me, glaring at me with her eyes squinted. I wanted to hug her right then, tell her that it was for her own good and it needed to be done. My stubbornness wouldn't let me. I stilled for a minute, and then smirked when I thought of what to say.

"You didn't think that you'd be able to be my bride being so weak did you? I like my women strong, and that blood was to make you strong woman," I sounded like such an a-hole every time I spoke to her; ironic, since she was the only person I wanted to be nice to.

She hated me more than anything else now, I was sure of it. "I'd be the last person to want to marry you Adan, I hate you, you've ruined my life and you don't care. Monster!" The words rolled off her tongue quickly, like she found them distasteful. She uttered them venomously; I wanted to flinch, but I didn't want to show that I cared. When have I ever cared about anything? I never did. And yet, past all that venom and madness, I still found her the most amazing person in the world. See what she does to me?

"Think what you want, I'll make you do it whether you like it or not," I actually didn't want to force her to marry me, I'd have preferred it if she chose. Everything I was doing was all wrong.

"I wish you were dead."

"Too bad most wishes don't come true," I shrugged.

It was then when Hollie decided to step in. She gave out an exasperated sigh and rolled her eyes. "Cut this out guys, you're giving these monsters too much of a show." Why did that matter? I'd burn them all dead if I wanted to. Evelyn seemed to care though; she peered around, and seemed to shrink a bit, embarrassed by her actions. "Besides, I think Evelyn really needs a good rest." I agreed with Hollie.
