To Love A Beast - Absalom x Reader

Chapter 7

(Your POV)

*BOOM*

I stayed on the floor in shock, Absalom had just fired something at my friend. I couldn't really see the damage because of all the dust that surrounded us.

After the dust has settled I noticed that theres a hole on the wall. Luckily the floor we were in wasn't under the ocean but a big wave could still bring some water in.

I also noticed that my zombie friend was still standing and he looked completely unharmed.

I saw that Absalom had missed him by about a foot. Was his aim really bad or did he do it as a warning shot?

Absalom slowly put his arm down and he slowly walked up to me and looked down towards where I am.

He didn't look as angry as he did a while ago, but there's something in his eyes that say otherwise.

Absalom- "My plan was to kill that filthy creature for taking my bride away.....but if I did....then she would hate me forever...."

I saw his eyes soften a bit at that last part.

You're worried about losing me? I had already told you that I was never yours to begin with, what he frick is your problem?

Absalom then glared at the zombie, making him flinch.

Absalom- "You have 30 minutes to patch up that hole on the wall, and if I EVER see you near this room again....I guarantee you that I won't miss."

Zombie- "Y-Yes sir!!!"

I watched as my friend quickly ran to go get some supplies for the wall and you couldn't help but feel sad.

Does this mean I'll never see him again? Am I completely alone now? Why must this jerk make my life a living hell?

While I was deep in my thoughts, I noticed that Absalom had put his hand in front of me to try and help me up but I just slapped his hand away.

You- "I can get up on my own..."

I see him look down with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

He's sad? I'm the one that lost a friend thanks to him..

Absalom- "Did he hurt you?"

You- "Go away..."

Absalom- "(Y/n) I just wanted to make sure that you're okay."

You- "Why do you care?"

Absalom- "Because I love y-"

You- "SHUT UP!!!!"

You slowly got up and he noticed that one side of your right knee was scratched from when you were pushed to the ground.

Absalom- "(Y/N) you're hurt! let me help y-"

You- "DON'T TOUCH ME!! I CAN TEND IT MYSELF!"

Absalom- "(Y/N) why won't you let me help you?"

You- "Because I hate you!!"

Absalom- "But...but why do you hate me?"

I don't know why but I suddenly felt tears rolling down my face. I turned away from him so he wouldn't see me like this.

You- "You tried to kill the only friend I've ever had since I was taken from my home....not only that but you kidnapped me and you're forcing me to marry you.."

I heard a deep sigh come from Absalom. He sounded tired, maybe he didn't sleep well last night? Well I did lock him out of his own room, guess that wasn't very nice of me. Maybe I should apologize to him once I cool down.
