Eyes As Dark As A Night

Chapter 4 part 1 (The Vulnerability)

Great. He found me. As if this couldn't get any worse. The room was completely silent. No one dared to speak, not even Charlie or so I thought.

"Wait you two are..." Charlie says looking between us.

Was Charlie a Werewolf?

"Mates", King said cutting him off, boldly looking at both of us.
I slowly turned to look at him, not wanting to be in this awkward situation anymore.

"No, we are not, he has a girlfriend." I said trying to defend my side.

"Yes, we are, and Ashley has nothing to do with this. " King said getting irritated. Oh, that was the boujee Barbie doll name. Nice to know.

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"No-", I said getting cut off once again, not by King, but by Charlie's laughing.

"Oh my, it seems like we've got a pair of mates in denial, I mean no offense to you Skylar, but it's pretty obvious your mates" He said wiping off his fake tear, and holding his stomach from laughing too much.

I cracked a smile, wow, his smile was so contagious. It made me feel so happy, his smile could light up a whole room. I  looked over to King, and my smile dropped as fast as it started.

He was just standing there with that blank stare in his eyes, hands in his pockets. He wasn't smiling, nor frowning. He was there with no expression at all.  He was looking straight at me, his eyes were so black you couldn't even call them brown. He was staring so deep in my eyes, his dark orbs staring right back at mine.  Soon I heard the door click. It took a while to process what happened, Charlie was out the door and locked it behind him.

King was still staring at me, but something was different about his expression this time. He looked at me, almost daring me to move. He had a look of  excitement on his face, he wanted me to move.

It was like an animal staring at prey.

Was I stupid? Yes.

But that didn't change the fact that I still had 10% of common sense left, and that percent of common sense told me that I wasn't getting anywhere if I decided to run again.

I was somewhat scared to run. And if I am honest, I am kinda out of shape anyways so I didn't wanna run anymore.

So, I just asked " what do you want from me?". Afterwards, I looked cautiously at my surroundings. Something I didn't have to do when Charlie was around.

The mood was now dangerous and scary. Charlie was the only light in the situation, the rest of it was darkness.

Still, he looked at me and didn't say a word. I waited for a good 10 seconds before I started to walk towards the door. As soon as I took my third step, nowhere near the door, I felt a big presence behind me. A strong hand grabbed my waist, pressing my back into his hard chest.

Ah yes, the back hug I never wanted.

"Why are you leaving, I'm actually having fun", King said whispering in my ear in with a deep voice .  I can't do it. I had no experience in this department. I mean the closest I've ever been to a guy was a karate tournament when I was choking him to death on the floor. 

He was terrifying me now, he made me feel things that no one has before.  There was one thing that I hated more than anything.

Vulnerability.

"This is fun, I can smell your fear and it's addicting" he said whispering in a lower tone than before. I didn't know what to say, I mean what do you say to that.

This guy was weird.

His arm pulled around my waist, pulling us closer as if we weren't close enough.

I hated this. I hated him. I hated the way he could just look at me, and have me hooked. I hated the fact that he was like my drug, and I couldn't escape. I hated that I didn't want to escape. Every moment felt so surreal, and I hated it. And the worst about it was I've only been in his presence for about an hour.

Still, I could see right though him, and I saw nothing. No type of emotions there, not a single trace. There was nothing in those pretty dark eyes. Everything he said looked like it was programmed, as if he was some type of twisted robot. It terrified me.

"Your insane", I said trying to break free out of his hold. This made him frown and it scared me because it was a genuine frown. Was I going to die today?

I saw a bit of confusion in his eyes. Emotion. I wanted to smile, but I was quickly interrupted.

"I might be a little detached in some areas, but insane... is a little off" ,he said. His voice was neutral but still in an taunting tone.

That's when I saw it. I might has well peed myself right then and there. When I thought he couldn't get anymore terrifying, he did something that made my heart stop in fear.

He smiled. But it wasn't one of his empty smiles, it was one of those smiles that a serial killer would give their hostages before killing them.

Slowly.

For the first time, I saw something twinkle in his eye and it scared me terribly.

I grabbed his arms and tore them off of me. Running to the door, as soon as my hand touched the handle, everything went black.
....

Hi guys I have returned not really. Ok listen I'm not quitting but chapters are not going to be up like I planned. Sorry it's just a lot going on with my personal life, including death of love ones and major life changes, so I'm not going to update as much as I want and thanks for understanding.

But on a happy note! What did you think about this chapter. Well not chapter but part. You have no idea what part 2 is going to be because the story and King are getting way crazier than expected. Buckle your seat belts, and get ready!
