I'm In Love With a Killer ~ Sonadow

Chapter 5 |Hide and Seek|

|Shadow's.POV|

We were both sitting on the couch watching tv, wrapped up in warm blankets. Every once in a while I stared at the side of his face. I saw that he was still shivering a bit from the cold air that lingered, so whenever he wasn't looking I scooted closer to him. One thing led to another and we were practically cuddling, even though it looked more like a hug.

"Are you okay, darling?" I ask him. This broke a barrier between us. The cuddling was one thing. But calling him this nickname was apparently the line that was crossed for him. He turns to me with a puzzled expression,"Uh yeah..." He was weirded out and he lightly scooted away from me but I didn't let him. In fact I sort of...forcefully pulled him back in my arms. Denial. Rejection. I'm not getting an answer I don't want. I will have him and I will take him.

"Shadow, what the hell are you doing?" He nervously chuckled, trying to pull away. He thought I was joking, that I was doing this to play around. I wish I could be so innocent. So naive to the situation at hand. What am I doing? Simply embracing.

"Why are you resisting, love?" I asked, holding him tighter in my arms. I didn't ask him in a confused way, I know exactly why he's resisting, it felt like the fantasy I was living in my head was coming to life. I didn't know how to act. "Love? Shadow, let me go!" he squirmed around my grasp but that only made his scent more intoxicating. My expression remained blank with the thoughts of him racing through my head.

|Sonic's.POV|

"Even since you stepped into my home, you became mine. All of you belongs to me." He says blankly. My heart was beating fast and maybe even faster when he wouldn't let me go. It was childish but I started to cry, I just wanted to go home where I was safe from all this. He looked at me with sympathy and lifted my chin up and frowned. "Aww, I'm sorry my dear," he said, I thought he was finally gonna let me go. I thought he was gonna laugh and say he was kidding. I felt unsafe and fear took me over for a moment. I was confused because Shadow was a friend, he's supposed to be safe. He wasn't kidding with the way he was grabbing me. Digging his fingers into my skin, clawing my arms like he would die if he didn't.

"Maybe if I stitch a smile into your lovely face, I'll never have to see you so miserable," he stares into my eyes. My eyes widened and I squirmed around harder "No- Please don't do that!" I shuddered at his actions. I knew he was weird but I genuinely couldn't fathom the fact that this was happening. I couldn't believe someone like him was doing this to me.

"Or maybe I should stitch your eyes shut so that you can't cry anymore." his voice was sinister. I couldn't take it anymore, I bursted out of his grip and made a run for it. I heard his loud footsteps chasing me and I still cried trying to leave this place.

I ran to the front door and it wouldn't open, either he somehow locked it or it was jammed from all the heavy snow outside. It only took me 3 seconds to process this when I heard his loud footsteps coming, I panicked and ran over to a closet and hid in the darkest corner.

"Oh I see...you want to play hide and seek...fine, let's play hide and seek." he talks to the nothingness. My heart was beating so fast I felt like I was gonna have a heart attack at that moment. I took a second to breathe and calm down. I was still all jumpy but now I could at least think about an escape plan. I hurled up in the corner and tried my very best not to make a sound. I no longer heard the TV anymore so that means any tiny little sound or movement that I make gives me a very high chance of getting caught, then again I am hiding in a closet so no doubt he will look in here. I heard his footsteps approach the closet door and I panicked trying to put whatever was in there over my body so he couldn't see. But unfortunately it was too late and the closet door sprung open hard. I cried in the corner as he pulled me out "There you are my love!" he pulls me by my arms. I had no choice but to stare into those awful eyes. He stared back at me with a loving gaze and that creepy smile. I got too scared and peaked back at the closet to see pictures that spread out to the floor. These pictures contained the awful images of the murdered victims of that one...killer. I saw that one girl that got murdered the other day, it was a close up and personal picture taken by the killer himself.

I put it all together in my head when I turned to him.

"Y-You...it was you the whole time." I choked that out. "Yes love...I did it for you." His gloved hand slid up my arm and held onto my hand tightly. My cheeks felt red and puffy from all the crying I did. If being seen like this wasn't embarrassing enough, it was my vulnerability that scared me.

"Shadow...please...let me go...I'm scared...and I wanna go home....I miss my best friend....I don't feel safe with you." I said with the softest and saddest voice, looking down. His face was empathetic but his aura was dark. Those eyes of his have seen better days but I can see from right here that he enjoys staring at me through them. In a poor attempt to make me feel better, he pulls me in for a tight hug. This embrace was cold. The fur on his chest wasn't the same as it was the night before when he held me...

I didn't want a hug, I nearly wanted to die after realizing this. "I worked so long to have you my darling, I'm not letting you go." he said in a determined tone.

"Think about all the stuff we'll do together!" He aggressively grabs my shoulders and forces me to look into his eyes again. His face was insane and his fur was messy.

"You'll be my lovely Darling who always obeys. We can go out on long bloody dates and slaughter to our liking." He spun me around like we were dancing. Grabbing me and shouting in my ear about all the ideas he has. Who is he?

He tightly grips my hand and squeezes really hard. "You'll be all mine...and...I'll be all yours.." he leaned in to kiss me but I turned my face away before he could even try.

I was trapped here....
