Hell's Queen

Geno

After that night with Reaper... He tried to get closer to, spent more time with me, sometimes even made a meal! Just for me!

He gave me sweet gifts, he made me feel special, paid more attention to me and sometimes... Sometimes he would just sleep with me, nothing sexual... Just him holding me close, allowing me to listen to the steady drumming of his soul... I loved all of it...

I wanted him closer, so fucking badly! I wanted to be near him, I wanted him to hold me and talk to me all the time! I wanted to go on dates with him, smile at him the way he smiles at me. I just... I just wanted him...

But I can't have him...

I push him away as best as I could, but I can't... He's so stubborn!

He says that he loves me, that he wants me! He flirts with me all the time and! And...

I can't give it back... I just can't...

I have to push him away... He'd be better without me... All I have to do is keep pushing... But, I guess it won't last forever...

Maybe by the time I can't control myself, he'll be too far away... He'd forget all about me, leave me alone... Leave and be with someone who truly can show him how much he means to them...

I lightly hiccupped at the thought of him leaving me. Of him showing the same type of attention and love towards someone else...

Since when did I get this attached? Since when did I care about someone like him?!

Slowly, I had sat myself on the floor of my room, thankful that he allowed me to sleep in it...

He wasn't home... I knew that, since he told me earlier... And the girls were all out trying to "bond", which usually meant they were trying to convert the other...

I was alone... And would be till someone came back...

"Crying? Over someone so insignificant?" A cold voice whispered, a dry chuckle followed.

I winced, closing my eye, trying to calmly breathe. He wasn't here... He was gone... He-

"Closing your eyes doesn't work, my little puppet." There was that spark of joy that I hated... The joy that made my stomach turn and my blood go cold... I hated it all..

"He's not here, he's not here..." I whimpered, my hands moving towards my ears.

He wasn't here... He wasn't here... That was the only thought that echoed in my mind, but... I should've known better.

"LISTEN TO ME, CIDE! LISTEN TO ME!" He screeched, pain flaring in my ribs!

My hands moved to my mouth, the tears flowing faster as a scream ripped through me!

I fell to my side, my hands clasped tightly over my mouth, as nothing left it but screams!

I wanted him to stop, I cried, begged and pleaded! I wanted him to stop, he had to stop!

"You're hurting me! Stop please!" I sobbed out, my voice becoming scratchy.

His insane laughter bounced around the room, I didn't have to look up him to tell his head was thrown back, his laughter only growing worse.

"Oh! You poor child!" He seethed, his rough fingers gripping the back of my skull. He forced it into the ground, cracking it. I know he did...

I cried more, my chest moving up and down, the pain migrating to my arms and legs. I hated his pain...

"S-Stop..." I pleaded one last time, but he just smiled that cruel smile... That smile that told him his answer before he even uttered it.

"No."
