When they Whisper

Control

Scarlets POV

I was frozen in fear after what had just happened. Vincent looked like he was ready to kill someone. What is up with him today? First he beats the crap out of Isaiah, and now he is throwing scissors at my face. My plan was to get home and to talk to him about his violent tendencies, but now im afraid too.

I was finally able to move and I walked into the bathroom to find some band-aids. I placed it over my cut and headed for the kitchen. When i entered i saw vincent at the fridge. I stopped in my tracks and slowly turned around.

"I know your there Scarlet." His voice made me jump. It was still laced with blood lust. When i turned back around, he was right in front of me. His eyes looked right into my soul, and there was no trace of emotion on his face. I shifted uncomfortablely.

"Why are you avoiding me?" He asked.

"I-I'm not..." I replied looking at the ground. He lifted my chin and made look at him.

"Don't lie to me," he said as he tilted my head to the side to look at my wound. "Why did you cover it?"

"I didnt want it to get infected."

He sighed in response and went to take it off. "Don't." I said. He looked at me with no emotion again.

"Why?" He asked rubbing his finger across the bandage. I felt fear raise in my body again. "Because it would be wasteful..." I replied.

He still had his hand on my chin, making me look at him. A smirk crept onto his face.

"Maybe I should make a new one then," he said, his smile becoming bigger. I felt my muscles stiffen in fear. He giggled to himself and pulled me closer.

"What did I tell you about looking afraid baby?" He kissed my cheek and rubbed my back. If i wasnt so scared right now, i would have been loving this.

"Your making me want to actually put that fear to good use." He whispered into my ear, biting it playfully. He pulled away with an evil grin.

I felt my throat tighten and tears in my eyes start to form. Vincent's face changed. His evil grin fell and his brows furrowed. But his blood lust was still there.

"Please don't hurt me Vincent. Your really scaring me. And with Hunter on the loose I am already on the edge of my seat and if your going to be scaring me like this then I am going to have to move out." I said as tears fell down my face. I looked back into his eyes. The blood lust was gone.

Vincent's POV

Move out? She wants move out? The tears falling down her face made everything that i was feeling vanish. I hesitantly reached for her face, cupping it gently. I felt her flinch from my touch. My heart broke.

"Scarlet, baby," I said softly. She looked at me sadly. "Im sorry. I dont want to hurt you. Im not going to."

"Thats what i thought but your actions today make me think otherwise."

"I know. I did some bad things today. Something has come over me and i dunno what it was. But i can control it. Scarlet please, i promise." I began to choke on my words. I felt my hands tremble. "I will never hurt you again."

There was a long silence. Finally she spoke. "Okay. I trust you."

I sighed in relief. I pulled her close and kissed her softly. She loosened her muscles and kissed back. I cant loose her. She is the only thing I have. I held her close and i didn't want to let go. But i did eventually.

I gotta find a way to control myself if i want to keep Scarlet around. This might be more challenging then i thought. I did say i wasnt going to hurt her, but that doesnt count for anyone else. But it would still cause her stress.

I scratched my head and sighed. I can do this for her. All of this stress on her is stressing me out. I need to get rid of Hunter, and that's exactly what i plan to do.
