Chapter Twenty Three | Acting on Your Word

Everything was moving in slow motion after Kylo had beat you for something you weren't really sure about. First he dropped you to the ground, landed painfully on your tailbone, and then watched as your son and ex husband ran after each other. You sat there powerless, unable to move fast enough as you heard the zipping noise of Kylo's leather belt flying from his pants. You were already slow and sluggish from the fact that Kylo had punched you in the face twice and slapped you once, but as soon as you heard Griffin's pained screams coupled with the heart breaking sounds of the leather making contact with his bare skin, it was as if your bruises and blood has been lifted out of your skin and you were healed.

You stood as fast as you could, scrambling to your feet as the beatings became louder and more frequent, sending you into full panic mode. You ran out into the living room where you found Kylo bent over Griffin's small frame, holding him down to the floor with one hand and whipping him with the belt with the other. Griffin's face was red, he was no longer crying but sitting there just taking the abuse. His mouth hung open in a ghastly O, his eyes rolled into the back of his head as he just sat there. You imagined that while you were lollygagging and not chasing after Kylo Griffin had tried to put up as much of a fight as he could, but he was no match to his much taller and stronger father.

You couldn't believe your eyes, you had to do something!

Without another thought you ran full force at Kylo, like a bull running after a bright red cloth. You jumped onto his back and sunk your teeth into his neck, evidently you had caught him off guard as he didn't even look in your direction until you were leaping onto him. He dropped the belt and released his grip on your son, crying out in agony as he reached both of his hands behind his neck and clawed at you. You refused to loosen your jaws, if Kylo thought it was acceptable to cause a child this much pain then obviously it was acceptable to hurt Kylo in a much smaller way. This was nothing compared to the lashes he had given Griffin.

Eventually he did manage to throw you off, moving his body to the left so quick that you flew to the right. Your teeth unlatched from his neck creating a set of bite marks that bled out all over him. He turned and looked angrily at you, holding the side of his neck as his hands began dripping with his own blood. You clambered to your feet as Kylo let out an animalistic roar, you had never seen him so angry in your life. You turned and looked at Griffin, he was sitting like a rag doll sprawled out on the floor, not moving a single muscle or making any noise.

Your number one goal became to protect you and your son, you took a dive toward your lifeless child just as Kylo swung his arm to tackle you to the ground. You lifted Griffin into your arms, he was completely unresponsive and unreceptive to your actions as well as his surroundings. The space between the two of you and the door seemed to be much too long, you didn't think you would even make it there in time.

Regardless of your fears, you trekked on. It was like you were running in slow motion, behind you Kylo was a fearless predator; running as fast as he could after you in order to consume you in his uncontrollable rage. It was terrifying, you knew if you didn't make it to that door everyone in this household would end up dead. In your arms Griffin sat lifeless, his limbs simply swaying with your body movements. You feared Kylo had taken his anger way over the line this time, injuring Griffin to the point of no return. He had never been hit with anything before in his life, he had responded well to verbal punishment instead of physical, time outs and taking toys away instead of spankings.

But what Kylo did to him reached well over spanking limits. You were certain Kylo was unleashing all of his might, energy, and anger against that boy's bare skin. He didn't deserve it, why couldn't it have been you?

Once you made it to the sensor you slapped it, taking a look back at Kylo who now had his lightsaber drawn. He wasn't moving, he was just standing there looking at you as you began to dash out of the door. "Go on. Get out of my sight! Get out of my house and don't come back!" Kylo said, you took a step back out into the hallways and turned on your heels, ready to run as fast as you could away from Kylo and get your unresponsive son the help he needed it.
