Landon

11

Kate's POV:

Just as I'm about to fall asleep the shoot of a gun is heard and someone opens the door quietly.

I open my eyes frightened and come face to face with Landon.

I didn't expect him here!

Thinking about if I should scream at him or not I faint.

Black surrounds me and it's what I need.

Maybe I don't need to wake up at all anymore.

Panting I woke up.

Did that really happen? Oh my freaking potato!

Wait...where am I even? I looked around the room panicked that the evil boy kidnapped me.

Most things in here were black, even the hair of the boy next to...what?!

"Aaaaaaah!" I got to the other side of the room where the door was as fast as I could. He's crazy!!!

His reaction was also shocking. The monster woke up immediately and his cruel face got even more cruel while looking around frantic until he found what he had been searching for.

Me pressed against the door.

"Landon?!" I squeaked hysterically and ready to faint.

Landon's eyebrows shot up and he stood up and wanted to walk towards me but I moved along the with every step he took towards me.

It was a stupid move.

"Don't touch me!" My arms covered my head as he stood above me. I shivered and sank down onto my knees the fear I felt evident. You could smell it ten miles against the wind.

He sat down in front of me a sick and scary desperation in his eyes and took my arms away. "I would never hurt you Katie." As if! "But you killed him." I whispered back shaking. "You killed my father why shouldn't you kill me?"

I tried to crawl back but my back hit the corner I was in. There was no way I could escape this misery, was there?

Landon looked at me wide eyed. Yes sherlock I discovered what you did no need to stare me down...

"You remember." He whispered and my eyebrow shot up.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Kate where exactly does this confidence come from? You're talking to a killer no need to provoke him.

"You-- but you were, you lost your memory and now...now it's back!" I had forgotten...oh shit. His eyes as wide as they could be looked at me scared.

Why? I've got no idea. Did he do something he regretted?

"What's the last thing you remember?" The man towering over asked his voice trembling.

He totally did!

"You killing my father, what in your sick mind did you do to me while I didn't remember!?"

I thought it wasn't possible but his eyes widened even more. I waited for them to crack at any moment (ewww what did I think???).

"I did nothing inappropriate I promise! Oh god what you must think of me now..." He closed his eyes and leaned back, his hands on his face while a sigh escaped his throat.

"Please Katie trust me. I could never hurt you, I could never lay a hand on you or treat you bad. You need to believe me. I would do anything to keep you happy and save. I know I killed your father but he wanted to kill you. If I hadn't come to your house that day you would have been dead!"

A single tear streamed down his cheek and I didn't know why but my hand reached out wipe it away.

It broke me to see him cry.

What was this feeling? Had I gone insane too?

As if it wasn't a part of me my mouth opened and I started to speak.

"I trust you."

This simple words and gesture made Landon's head shot up and pull me into his arms.

Shaking I slowly hugged him back, still feeling afraid and he seemed to notice.

"Kate I give you all the time in the world to get comfortable around me, don't worry you'll get the best treatment!"

Sounds like he wanted me to stay with him. Holy what am I gonna do?!

In moments like this I really missed having a best friend I could talk things through with.

"W-What do you mean Landon?" I asked eyeing him carefully.

"Eh I mean you stay here and you get to know me and stay with me the rest of your life."

His smile and the happiness in his eyes...a demon must possess him.

Did he mean it? Oh god of course he did! Please help me...

"Katie my love please say something!"

I couldn't.

My arms slung around my legs and I began to cry.

Landon began to panic as he first hugged me and tried to comfort me.
As I didn't stop crying he took me up and placed me around him like a baby.

Means: My arms around his neck, my legs around his waist, his hands at my bottom and upper back.

I tried to free myself by struggling and screaming at him but nothing helped.

Soon, it felt like we had walked through the whole house, he placed me onto a bed and another man stared down at me.

"Doctor why is she so scared of me?" Desperation could be heard in Landon's voice as he looked at the doctor.

This guy really is sick. It seemed like he didn't understand anything.

"Is her memory back?" The doctor asked and Landon nodded.

"Ok please leave the room Landon." He wanted to protest but the doctor just shushed him out and shut the door.

As I calmed down the doctor started talking. "Ok Kate tell me about it. What's it that you're so scared of him?"

I stared wide eyed at the middle aged man in front of me.

Didn't he have eyes? It was obvious!

"He's scary and he killed my dad." My expression turned cold thinking about my dad.

He didn't deserve to live but no matter how much I hate him he also didn't deserve to die.

Nobody did.

"Ok that's a good point." The doctor chuckled and shook his head.

"I'm gonna tell you a story dear. Ever since you've arrived here Landon couldn't stop taking his eyes off of you. It was love at the first side for him..." I listened to everything he told me and for the first time in a while I understood that I was loved by someone.

In a weird way but it was love.

I decided I should give Landon a chance. But if he was stupid and broke the trust that started to build I would get going out of his door immediately.

Should I stop or continue this story?
