Lucci stood right by the window within your room. The night was quiet as all nights are here in the village. The door opened as you walked in ignoring his own existence just as he ignored yours in the woods.
“Do you hate me?” Lucci's voice was low
but it was enough just for you to hear. “For what I did?” His eyes remained fixed on the reflection of your body on the window.
Lowering your hands down you sigh deeply but force out a smile. “I forgive all. Even men as yourself.” Lucci's jaw twitches hating himself. Never has he had someone escape his violent world. No one but you, how ironic has this life become. Mocking the both of you, forcing all of your strengths into weaknesses.
“Men like me…” whispering out those exact words he suddenly feels unimportant in your life. As if he were just someone else. Resting his hand on the bottom frame of the window his claws dig into the window. “I am no other man that you so truly forgive. I am not just some other man and you are not just some woman who survived.
You are not just some woman who met me.” Lucci leaves the windows side to stand before you. All this rage, all this disappointment that devours him. He owes you everything he has stolen away from you. But with what luck could he have had to now be so dangerously in love with you.
“Lucci.”
Quickly he snaps out of his blind thoughts only to be shocked to have you beside him. “My Lucci.” Reaching up your hands close on his cheeks to hold him. “I forgive my Lucci. I forgive all.” Lucci turns to wrap his arms around your body. “Do not forgive me so soon. You will hate me even more but I won't let you go.”
Pulling you in tighter your body is pinned up against his. “Do not forgive me so soon.” Whispering out his words his lips tasted yours savoring this moment.
Though he says to know so much of you he has yet to know the real man who you lost your vow to. That man who you ran with the night before the fire. A rebellion nun you were.
“This man who took your vow. Is he still alive?” Lucci's hands slide onto your cheek his thumb tracing your bottom lip.
You attempted to jerk away from him but he had his arm so tight around you. “That must be a yes.” A smirk crosses his lip. “Do you see this man? Or has his visits stopped since I” His tongue slid up against your neck. “truly claimed you?” Breathing heavily Lucci feels the way your heart thumps against your chest indicating it to be true.
Now for the real question that he so desperately desires. Looking into your eyes tracing the scars softly with his finger. “Do you still love this man?” The breath stopped into your lungs and your pupils dilated.
Lucci growls his eyes turning yellow. “It’s alright.” Pulling your head to rest against his chest Lucci caresses the back of your head.
“I will relinquish you from doubt. I will know of this man and you will be free. All of you being of mine all of me being of yours.”
Shaking you grip his shirt slightly and with all your strength you force it upon the strong slap you deliver him. “Lucci! I, I can't believe you. You are not the man I fell in love with. I trusted you! I allowed you to be free within in this sanctuary!”
Lucci grabs hold of your wrist tightly. “Do not lecture me of trust! Woman! You have hidden something much more than I have! Or did you forget you were in the doors of death! Dying over me.” Lowering his voice Lucci shoved you on the bed he clenched his fists drawing out the droplets of blood. Looking back out the window his eyes glew but he watched you from the reflection of the window.
“You are my prisoner now. Tomorrow I will submit the documents of this church. The government will seize the land as property.” Looking down at the wooden floor his shoes echo. Sitting up you watch him lock the door of the room. “They will first explore every aspect before destroying it once they take everything....You. You are mine. You. You they will not take.”
Sitting on the other side of the bed he rests his elbows on his knees. “The town on the other side of this island I have an apartment. I'll leave you there when they come.
Do not attempt escape.” Reaching over his hand awaits for yours. Lucci knows you are being hesitate about it. Finally you settle your fingers on his palm till his coil around your hand.
“I will search for you.”
This is very true of his word. The time will come and he knows very well that you will attempt to flee from him. The thought of it actually excites him. Having to search for you. Follow you wherever you go.
“Lucci, my Lucci you are not a monster.” Freezing his hand tightens on yours. He wants you to fear him so you won't ever leave him.
Moving in closer your hands held his face so that he may look at you. “Do you love me?” Every word you said was weighing down upon the meaning. Love was taught to you differently. “Love is beauty not possession. Love is painful and can destroy many but can also rebuild. Love can be held by the hand of a child and a murder.”
Lucci shifts to face you completely knowing you speak of him and you.
“I will not run away from you Lucci. But do you love me?”
Lucci crawls over to have you beneath him. “Un-believably.”
This is it! This is what you have been in search for. Controlling him to save everyone and himself. “Then do not do it for others do it for us. I have stayed by your side. I have died and lived for you. But I question your love for me.”
Lucci growls shaking his head. “I do love you!” He growsls out feeling as if what he has done is not enough. “What must I do?” Eagerly awaiting your words you tease his lips with yours. “Lucci my Lucci only listen to me. Be my protector, my guardian, my lover, my brother, my friend, my devil.”
Lucci's mind felt drunk of your words. Especially with you teasing him with your lips. “I will be all you desire me to be.” Twisting your finger on his goatee. This seduction of manipulation was so close toward winning him. If he wasn't loyal to this plan he has now he would fall. “I shall be what you desire once I finish all that I have started.” His lips smashed into yours. “And once I'm done with everything then you can play my heart however you want.”
Savoring your lips you begin to cry having to know that he has his mind set on getting rid of this church.
Must it come down to it!
Must you seek for his help? Who else can you call but him? He who can save the history behind everything.
