The Creature Of The Man

Chapter 5: Sadest Smile

I leaned back from his intense glare.

"What are you?" Asking again for an actual answer.

Silence spread  I'm through out the room.

"Your question is non important to why I am here." He tilted his head.

"Wh-why are you h-here?" My voice becoming more unsteady with every sentence.

His glare becoming more disturbing. Achilles turned his head the other direction giving out a growl. Turning back his head and letting it tilt downwards.

"Please, for god sake, stop asking questions!" Achilles ready to pounce at me as he gripped my bedding in anger holding himself back.

I leaned further back hitting my head board.

"Don't fear me. I'm just a friend to you beautiful." His rumble of  a voice sounded more soothing again.

His grasp released. My stomach dropped as the faint grin widen to release a sadest smile as he lifted his head up.

"I'm not that scary, am I?".

My Heart racing he then arched an eyebrow.

"I'm so dead... stop being curious Spes!.."  my thoughts screamed. He arched an eyebrow in wonderment of my actions.

"What? Don't like me? You're not going to have to deal with me to long I promise sweets.". 

"What do yo-" before I could finish my question, with a flash, gone again. The shadowy creature had vanished before my eyes.

At this point of questioning my sanity I was truly needing meds now. I called Eric, of course no answer. To scared go out my door I hear my front door open. Only wondering what else was coming my way?!

"Spes?!" Eric's voice never sounding more peaceful than ever.

My heart became joyful! I ran out my bed to the door. *BANG* a bang hit my door. The rooms walls started to rattle. Black smoke came from the cracks of the door as the banging continued. I screamed in horror. I backed up grabbing a candle stick lying on my desk, trying to be prepared the best way I could. Everything stopped. Rattling of the walls, the smoke didn't continue to come in the room, a rush of calmness ran through me. I dropped the candle stick and held someone myself In comfort. *kkhm* someone cleared their throat behind me.

"You know it's not very polite to not open the door to a visitor?" He
growled.

I didn't want to turn around to see it, to see him.

"I said don't be afraid Beautiful." A huff came out of him.

Foot steps speeding up their pace towards behind me, a grip wrapped around my arm.

"Spes talk!"

He ripped me from my stand to be eye to eye to him. A different man stood before me.

"What? surprised?"

My eyes scanned every feature. Thick brown hair, and a humorless smile he wore well. His eyes a dull glowing purple, almost glassy. A hand that had rested on my cheek had then  glided down my face and hooked around my waste.

"I didn't mean to scare you love. I just wanted in." Achilles whispered.

His eyes glaring into mine... Eyes still breathtaking. He squinted,

"Spes, why didn't you open the door?" his touch got more aggressive and needy.

"I-I was scared..." silence over took the room. He pushed me away slightly to look at me, an eyebrow rose from him.

"I said not to be. Don't you listen? You are going to have to get used to me doing that, understand?" He expresses with a passive aggressive smile.

"What do u mean by "used to?" You're not staying." I snap away from his grasp.

I point my index finger at him so I could make myself even more clear. Before I could he grabbed my hand and started to crush it in anger.

"Oh, Im staying. I'm staying for awhile." He gave me a devilish smirk.

I fell to my knees from the agony.

"Stop it! Now please! Please!" I screamed.

He smiled again, his eyes seeming to look like black pearls again.

"That's all you had to say beautiful."

He dropped my hand.

"Just imagine what I could do to you." He said with a deep raspy voice. My teary eyes looking at him in shock.

"I mean, what I would do to you if you ever tried to snap at me again like that!" The soft rumble from his voice occurred to be gone.

He seemed somewhat embarrassed. He quickly looked for something else to talk about. He looked at my hand. I was holding it as I cried from the pain.

"Stop crying. I didn't even used a quarter of my strength." Achilles complained.

"Achilles! Or what ever you are! Does it look like I care what the hell you have to say. Wait! Let me answer it for you, I don't!" I smack my hands against my face to give him a fake surprised look.

"I don't appreciate you being here." I then shake my sore hand at him.

"As you can obviously tell why! Now go take your shadowy ass out of my ho-" he jolted towards me and covered my mouth.

"Be quiet!" He aggressively whispered.

Just as I was about to bite his hand off of me a chill shot through my bones as I heard footsteps come up the stairs.

My heart racing, he released his grip and headed to the door. He slowly degraded into black dust.

"Spes?! You here?! I got your text!" Eric shouted from downstairs.

The sound of his voice was such a relief. I ran down the stairs almost falling.

"Oh Eric!!!" I ran into his chest with an open embrace.

"Where have you been!? I Texted you hours ago!" I yelled.

"No. You texted me exactly two minutes ago." He hugged me back.

I pushed off of him

"What do u mean two minutes ago? I texted you hours ago." I squinted my eyes in concern.

"No no no." He grabbed his phone from his pocket and showed me when the message sent.

The time was now 1:09 a.m. and the message sent at 1:06 a.m.

"Come with me." I said while scratching my head.

I dragged him up the stairs to my room. I grabbed my phone off charger.

"What the?! My phone never charged! That's Impossible! I put it on charge as soon as I went to bed. I know I'm not crazy!" I scrunched my eyebrows in disbelief. The time it sent was 1:06.

"I know I'm not crazy, damn it!" I dropped my phone.

"You're not. For what ever the reason Spes." Eric hugged me from behind As I cuffed my hands on my face.

"Remove yourself, I'm fine weirdo." I lied through my teeth.

As long as I told him I was okay, the less he would worry. Right?
