My Protective Demon

Chapter 19

I fluttered my eyes open to find myself alone in the kitchen. The front door slammed, which made me jump. Where did he go? Still frozen against the counter I looked to my left to see Bill walking into the kitchen. I quickly "go up to my phone and pause the music. All of the sudden I felt my hair being yanked back, which caused me to scream.

"Why did you make a mess in my kitchen?" he asked against my ear. My mind wasn't processing his words right away which caused him to hold my hair tighter. "I was baking you cookies" I said quietly. "Clean up after yourself, slut." He pushed me forward, while let going of my hair, causing my stomach to go into the counter. I closed my eyes in pain and tried my best to hold the tears back. I heard him leave the room, so I quickly put the cookies in the oven, set the timer and ran upstairs to my room.

Once I got in I closed the door. I shut my eyes and took a deep breathe. The uncomfortable feeling of wanting to cry was all around my throat. I continued to take deep breathes, all the sudden I felt arms wrap around my waist that made tingles go all the way through my body. I smiled a little when I felt Asher kiss the top of my head.

All of the sudden I felt him let go of me but just to quickly go in front of me. Which is when I opened my eyes. I looked up into his blue eyes which were covered in guilt and sadness. All of the sudden he went down a little and picked me up in his arms for a hug. I felt dizzy and tingly all over.

My feet were half a foot off the ground but I didn't care. Asher snuggled his face into the side of my neck and into my hair. For what seemed like hours later he set me on the ground. He slowly let go of me and looked me in the eyes with such an intensity it scared me a little. "Where did that bastard hurt you?"

I looked down at my feet, hoping he would leave it there. But I knew he wouldn't. I've never had someone care about my safety from Bill before. Tingles erupted all over my body, Asher put his finger on my chin and lightly, as if he was afraid of hurting me, moved my head up. His gave was so intense and scary but I knew he would never hurt me. I felt my throat start to get sore, as if I was about to cry. Oh god don't cry. I bit my lip and closed my eyes. I know he is staring at me but I almost feel guilty, like I should have tried to protect myself better.

I opened my eyes again and turned towards the mirror, away from Asher. My hands were shaking while I slowly lifted my top up enough so my bruised tummy became visible. You could see a mark from the counter and other fading bruises. Behind me I could see Asher eyes looking, he looked pissed. He looked like he was about to punch a wall. I turned around and dropped my shirt so it covered stomach. Asher is currently walking back and forth in my small room. His face looked so angry, angrier than I have ever seen anyone before. I grabbed his arm and tingles sparked all over my skin, "Asher".

He turns around, still upset and said with his eyes full of anger "I'm going to kill him."
