Ashanti: A Tale of Dark Love

Darla

I can't believe that I was going to have this conversation. I never thought this was going to be me. I was not supposed to be this girl.

I took a deep breath and looked at Ashanti and Darla.

"So, after we left the dance, we ended up at this nice hotel. He had everything laid out for me. I mean flowers, candles, and champagne. He told me to go into the bathroom and put on this purple nightie that he bought me. I can admit I knew what he wanted to do, and I was scared, but I felt that it was time."

At the hotel

I stepped out the bathroom room to see him in his boxers sitting on the bed, watching tv.

I cleared my throat and he looked over at me smiling.

"Damn baby, you look so beautiful." He stood up and walked over to me.

"Thank you, Kevin. Thank you for giving me an amazing night and making me feel beautiful. I love you Kevin." I said.

"You know how I feel about you Darla. You are a special girl and I am proud to have you on my arms. Come here girl." He said and kissed me.

He started kissing me hard and his tongue was really sloppy. I wasn't feeling this at all. I pushed him off of me.

"Slow down Kevin." I said and wiped my mouth.

"I'm sorry baby, it's just I have been waiting for this for a long time. I was starting to think that you were never going to give me any." He said.

I didn't say anything to him. I kept looking at him and was wondering why he was acting so strange.

"How was he acting? You said he was acting strange. What do you mean?" Bea asked interrupting my story.

"He was jittery, and he was looking everywhere but at me. He was slurring his words. I know for a while he was gone with some friends, so I don't know what he was doing." I said.

"Did you smell any alcohol?" Ashanti asked.

"No, the crazy thing is that I would have been alright if he was drunk, but I know he don't drink. He says it makes him sick." I said.

"Why are y'all looking at each other like that?" I said looking at the two of them.

"Go ahead with the story." Ashanti said.

He started kissing all over me again and the next thing I knew he pushed me down on the bed.

"Wait Kevin. Can you please slow down? We need to talk about this." I said trying to push him away.

I was scared and nervous and this wasn't making me feel any better.

"I can't baby. I'm just so excited. I need to finally feel you. Stop pushing me away." He said getting more aggressive.

"No stop Kevin. I'm not ready. Please just stop." I started crying.

"Stop you want me to stop?" He said.

"Please just stop. I'm not ready to do this Kevin." I cried harder.

"You think you can string me along for all these months? You think I'm going to let you tease me and not give up the pussy?"

"No, I love you Kevin, I just want you to stop please."

"Fuck that bitch. You are going to give me this pussy. I have treated you like a fucking princess, I have put up with your childish friends. I have even dealt with your fucking brother and cousin thinking they can tell me what to fucking do. I have put up with you long enough and now I am going to take this pussy. You wanted to be treated like a fucking woman, now act like a fucking woman and give this pussy up bitch." He said and slapped me.

We started fighting. He kept trying to pry my legs apart. I felt a figure going inside of me and the pain was so bad I started screaming out.

"Ouch stop it Kevin. Stop it right now."

"I tried ya'll, I tried to get him off of me. I didn't want him to do it." I cried harder.

"Did he rape you Darla?" Bea asked me.

I didn't say anything. I cried harder.

"Did he rape you?" Bea asked again.

"He tried to put it in, but he said I was too tight."

"How did you get away?" Bea asked.

"I was able to kick him in the dick and I grabbed my stuff and ran out the room. I went through the back steps, so he wouldn't find me. I called an Uber and came home." I said.

"Ashanti, Ashanti?" I heard Bea calling her name.

I looked up at her and her eyes were glowing a deep green.

I started to get scared because I never seen her with that look before. I didn't know what was going through her head but by the look on her face it wasn't good.

"Ashanti." Bea said again and when she tried to touch her, she hissed. Her fangs were out, and it was like she wasn't herself.

Bea jumped back and called her name again.

I know that I believed in vampires and to know she was one I thought was pretty cool, but at this moment seeing her like this I wanted to piss on myself.

"Bea, what's wrong with her?" I asked.

Bea had a look of concern too. "I don't know but don't touch her. Ashanti?" She called her name again.

Before we knew what happened she disappeared.

"Where in the hell?" I started to ask.

"I don't know but this is not good. I saw that look before and let's just say this is not good."

"We have to find her. Where could she have gone?"

"Kevin, where is Kevin? Where is the hotel?" Bea asked.

"Umm the Embassy on Hewitt. Do you think she would go back and?" I stopped, and Bea looked at me with a crazy look on her face.

"We have to find her and fast." She said.
