Obsessed (Spoby)

Past.

She opened her eyes in the bewitching hour at night, finding it difficult to breathe, someone was strangling her, suffocating her with their bare hands. A familiar hand, a familiar body, straddling her, holding her tight against the bed. She knew who it was, she knew him all too well. His touches, his body, his hand, his scent, his features, the way he felt against her body, how can she ever forget? She was unable to move, unable to speak. Her body is drowning in shock, amaze and fear. He locked her legs and her hands in his. Starring straight into her soul with his blue eyes, those eyes she once loved but now, they're ice cold. It’s not her beautiful ocean blue eyes anymore, it’s the color of ice, no love, no emotions, just a wall of ice, freezing to the bones. There’s only hate and loathe in those eyes, all towards her. 

"Let me go!" she roared.
 
"Where is she?" he speaks up with his stern voice, gripping her hand even tighter. 

"I said Let me go!" She bark, attempting to get someone’s attention, anyone’s attention, anyone who can free her from the man who she once loved with her whole life. 

"You never learn Spencer!" his grip on her neck tightened. 

"I will never tell you..Never!" she shouted again. He slapped her right cheek, leaving a red mark on her soul.

"Tell me where she is? Give me back my daughter you slut!!" he shouted furiously.

"No! I'll never let you see her..ever again!" She shouted at last.

"She's mine!" He shouts in anger, claiming back what was his. 

"No, she isn't...She's just my child. Do you understand Toby?! She's mine!" she shouted once again, wiggling under his strong grip, trying to free herself. 

"You stole her from me...You're a whore! You deserve to die and then I'll take her back..back to where she belongs...and I wish you'll burn in hell" he strangled her hard to the extent she stopped breathing and started choking.

In the middle of the night, panting and sweating, Spencer woke up holding her neck, coughing and crying, trying to calm herself down from the horrible nightmare.

"Spence! Spencer, it's okay...It was just another nightmare" Emily ensured. "Here..have some water"

She drank a few sips from the glass still holding her neck.

"What happened? Do you wanna talk about it?" she asked trying to get a word out of her to understand her situation.

"He's close!" her lifeless, breathless voice said.

"What?" Emily said, half asleep, half thinking her friend is going crazy.

"I can feel it! He's close somewhere..He'll kill me and..and then he'll take Cinder with him" Spencer said, starting to shake. 

"Who Spencer? What are you talking about? Who'll kill you?" Emily asked, confusingly. 

"Toby! H-He's close...I can feel it...I can feel him...He found me" she panicked.

"He won't hurt you, Spencer!" Emily assured her, trying to get Spencer to calm down. 

"Says who? I-I'm the one who has his daughter and he'll come for me..and he'll kill me and take Cinder with him!”

"Spencer! Do you think he just found you out? After 4 years?" She said, trying to slap some sense into her. 

"Y-yeah that's what I was thinking..I-I didn't leave the country..It was it was just a city why did he take so long?"

"You don't even know what you're saying right now! You need sleep, Spencer...Tomorrow is a big day" Emily convinced her.

She nodded in response.
