Sadness Behind The Mask

Chapter 21 - How does it feel?

"How dare you!" I shouted and punched Lorenzo in his face causing his nose to bleed again.
My eyes were dark again. And again, I slapped him with my tail then, turning my half body in a snake tail.
"Calm down Mallory." Mendes said.
"Shhh..."
Lorenzo was sitting with the tree. I went towards him, gave him a terrifying look, put my pointy nail on his throat.
"Oh love, I don't want to do this, why do you make me do this to you?" I said in a polite whisper.
Lorenzo turned his face. And I smiled.
"How does it feel?"
"What?"
"Solitude? How does it feel?"
"You can't have anything like this."
I smiled and took a cotton, cleaned his blood and kissed him.
"Give me the papers, Lilith."
"What are you doing? Are you crazy? How will this marriage help you? I'm no use for you!"
"Shut up!" And I slapped him.
I signed the papers myself first.
"Look honey, sign these papers quietly and quickly. I don't want to use hypnosis."
"Do whatever you want! I won't sign! In fact, better kill me!"
"Not now. You're my weapon. How can I kill you baby?"
I took my cobra form and started getting around his body.
"Get off me!"
I licked his neck and made an eye contact. He closed his eyes. I started tightening myself around his body slowly.
"Mallory, he'll die..." Lilith whispered while holding Mendes' shoulder, tightening her grip. She was afraid. She was always a cowardly cobra, and now some effect was because of her psychological conditions due to kidnapping. Lilith closed her eyes.
He started screaming.
"Alright! Alright! Get off me!" He shouted.
I tightened at first, all of a sudden, I got off then. He started coughing. I came back to the human form and gave him the papers. He looked at me in fear and then he signed them. I saw tears in his eyes.
To be honest, those tears were melting my heart. Oh, Lorenzo, I don't wanted to do this to you. But I'm bound by a promise with Survania. I'm sorry.
Lloyd and Josh came too. They all celebrated my special moment.
"Josh... Do you remember, when we were going to discover the darkest part?"
"Yes...?"
"The voices I heard, were of my people. The escaped people of Survania. I met them a few hours ago when we were chasing Lorenzo."
"Really?"
"Yes. They have been living there for so long. And now I have to win the land for them."
"Good luck, dear!"
I got up and decided to stay the night with Lorenzo.
"Lilith, I think you can handle the situation. Disguise yourself into Mallory and stay in my room so no one can doubt about where I am."
"Ahan!" And she winked.
They went off. And I got into the treehouse with Lorenzo.
We didn't talk for a few hours. I changed my clothes several times, and I kept eating berries during this time.
Then he laid down for a nap. I looked towards him and got over him.
"Be off."
"Aww, I'm your Princess now."
He ignored me.
"Oh, Lorenzo, talk to me!"
"You forgot what you did to me today?"
"Lower down your volume. And don't you remember what you did today? Why did you run away? And did you forget what did your Kingdom do to me?!"
And it just promoted the argument. And it ended up me being angry enough to beat him up with chains and then burn him partially with cigarette like sticks.
