Poison c.h

#5

I woke up to Luke shaking me. "Get up, get up, get up" he quietly chanted too tired himself.

"I'm up" I groaned sitting up and rubbing my eyes. I opened them and jumped, from the corner of my eye I could see him standing there. I quickly looked but there was nothing there.

Luke chuckled from beside me "was stalker ghost boy there?" He asked and I pushed him away.

"Shut up Hemmings or I won't pick you up after work"

Luke glared at me trying to think of a good comeback but shrugged it off, obviously failing. "Just make sure you are there at 3" he said walking out of my room and leaving me alone.

I laid back down and closed my eyes again begging for sleep to take over, I was a very lazy person and if I wasn't working I was sleeping, it was a simple life.

I had my eyes squeezed shut but it wasn't working, nothing would. Now that I was alone I felt him there. My eyes shot open at the sound of my door creaking and I saw it shut completely and lock but no one was there. "Hello?" I asked quietly hoping the boy from last night would show himself. As much as he terrified me I wanted to see him again.

I got silence in response and was about to close my eyes again when I felt warm breath fanning my neck causing the hairs there to stick upright. My body stiffened know it was him, I could see and feel his figure lingering close to my body.

"Why are you so scared of me?" His husky voice whispered into my ear, his lips lightly touched it causing a light burning feeling to the area.

"Why shouldn't I be scared of you?" I bravely said back earning a throaty laugh from the boy.

"Very true my darling" he said slowly reaching his hand to my face. "Please don't!" I cried out but it was too late, his fingers touch my cheek burning my face and it only got worse the more pressure he put on it as he pushed my face to be looking at him.

I squeezed my eyes shut refusing to look at him. "Open your eyes Victoria" he demanded and I slowly did as he said scared he was going to touch me again. He was looking at me so intently and forcefully it was starting to scare me.

"Don't make me do something I would regret" he whispered before getting up and walking towards my door unlocking it and walking out leaving me to follow after.

"What are you doing someone will see you" I whisper yelled from behind him but he just turned around and looked at me with that infamous smirk.

"No one's home baby cakes" he teased grinning from ear to ear showing off his perfect teeth.

I scowled absolutely sick of this. "One, don't call me that, don't use any pet names on me, my name is Victoria to you, and two who the hell are you ghost boy because I'm getting sick of you treating me like you own me when I don't even know who you are!" I exploded confidently not caring about how much power he had over me, he was something different and something powerful but that wasn't any of my worries at the moment.

The boys smile dropped and his eyes narrowed. "I'm not a pathetic god damn ghost, I'm a demon, and I am way more powerful than them and you." He said slowly walking towards me. I stepped back each time he stepped forward until I was pinned against the wall him inches away from me. "And excuse me for being so rude, my name is Calum."

I was shocked to say the least, and all I could say was "do demons even have names?"

Calum started at me like I was an idiot, "of course we have names"

"But I thought demons were like, I don't know, hells slaves, nothing of any importance."

This seemed to anger Calum even more. "If you ever dare call me unimportant again you better be prepared for a painful punishment" he roared his eyes turning fully black.

My jaw dropped not know what to say. He took a step back watching me intently while trying to control his breaths. I didn't want to be the first to talk but I needed to, the silence was too much and I hated the feeling I got when he looked at me with those black soulless eyes.

"Y-your eyes" I stuttered and he quickly blinked and they were back to normal.

"What do you want with me?" I asked and he stepped back in front of me blocking me from moving. He stayed silent for a while and I watched his hands carefully praying he wouldn't touch me. He seemed to clue onto what I was thinking about because he laughed holding them up in surrender.

"Well I don't want to hurt you, if that's what you think" he said stepping away as if to make his point clear, but I wasn't so sure.

"Then why do you hurt me" I whimpered feeling weak, exactly how he wants me to feel.

"I can't help it sugar, it's a curse I was given years ago 'everything I touch I hurt' I was told and the next day I was given this" he said slowly, extending his arms out motioning to his hands. Suddenly he looked up as if he was straining to hear something quiet and then panic washed over his face. "I need to go" he said and then vanished.

I was both scared and relieved with a hint of confused. I was relieved that I now knew who he was, a demon named Calum. But it scared me at the same time. A demon! What in the hell is a demon doing stalking me!?
