MONSTERS (Z. M)

Chapter 23

Cherry

I waited for a few minutes for him to come for that tempting phone but he didn't show up. And his phone was just there begging me to touch it. I heard the  first alert and ignored it. Then the second and the third and when I couldn't take it, I made myself stronger. In fact, when a name flushed on the screen, I didn't look, well, I just took a little glimpse, enough to see that crazy letter  L.

I had to look again I mean, I was just a dummy, that letter could have meant Liam or Louis or Larry for Harry? Okay I did look.how could I not when it said, "EMERGENCY, SOMEONE JUST BURSTED REGINA OUT!"

What did they mean by that, where had Regina been all these time?

Fixing my eyes at the door, I grabbed the phone and quickly bolted to lock the door. My hands trembled as I typed in  Henry's number. He was the only one who could tell me why a group of psychotic people placed the name Regina and burst in one sentence.

I thanked God when it only rang twice before he answered. "What do you want."I shivered at the harsh tone from the other end.

"Hen,help me,get me out of here."I whispered afraid that maybe he was at the door eavesdropping.

" Princess? ... "I felt a sharp pain on my cheeks as the phone was snatched from my ear. I moaned In pain as I trembled at the sight of blood  from my cheek.

" Who did you talk to"he grumbled grabbing I handful of my hair."Tell  me who the fuck you talked to or I am giving you a spectacularly painful haircut right now."his voice was scary thick as he tagged me towards the bed  by my hair." Why did you do that? Huh"at that point I was not even crying, my body grew numb. He had assaulted me far too much in one night to feel a thing.

"Get away from, me!" I tried to kick him but he flung me on the bed. I yelped as I hit the mattress and bounced up before I landed on the floor.

"Honey, if this is the kind of life you want, I will be pleased to give it to you . If you want violence, so be it!" he growled before he started towards me.

"I am sorry, I am sorry. I didn't say anything. I swear ." No sooner had I said the first "sorry" than his lips curved into a huge smirk. He placed his hands in either side of his waist looking down on me.

"Alright, tell me who the hell you talked to and maybe then, I will change my mind and give you something to eat." He was still smirking and that kind of annoyed me. "you know what, don't tell me, whoever it is, I will just kill them and feed them to my lions." he had lions? He probably did, he was a psycho.

"Do not dare do anything to... To... What did you to Regina you monster?" I quickly changed the topic. I knew I was being stupid since he was just going to get the name from his phone anyway but I could not bear the thought of my own brother dying because of me.

" Who was it? Justin? "I shook my head no." Regina? "I stayed quiet my tears streaming down. He chuckled darkly before taking huge steps towards me. I didn't even have time to back up as he had already grabbed my arm and was dragging me towards the bathroom, I think.

He hurled me down harshly before he grabbed an aid kit from a shelter, too high I was pretty sure I couldn't get. "This is going to sting." I screamed in pain when my injury burned like hell fire at the contact with an anticeptic.

"Stop! Stop, Zayn please!" I tried to push him away but we ended up on the floor on my back. He grabbed my bloody hands and forced them over my head,on that cold bathroom floor.

"Shush, I am just helping you not to lose your face, do you have any idea how badly steam can hurt you?" I stopped struggling not because of helping part, but because of the steam part.
"Steam?" confusion was evident in my voice as I looked directly into his eyes.
