You are mine

chapter 36

Sun blazed overhead.

The door grumbled lowly as he closed it shut behind him and stepped out as well.

I looked at him confused.

What is he playing at?

Does he want me to leave?

I surveyed the surrounding trees. No trace of last night's rain on even a single leaf. As if sun came and took over everything. Like a true authoritarian.

And nothing had a say in it.

I squinted my eyes as a depressed air hit my face like a burning volcano.

"You feel that?"

His comment got my attention. I turn around to find him gauging my every move. Every wrinkle forming at the end of my eyes against the heat.

"F-feel what?" God knows what he's going on about.

But if he tells me to leave, I'll-

"The heat." He asserts.

I knit my eyebrows,"w-what about it?"

He slowly fishes his hands inside the pockets of his stretchable sweatpants. His fists visible throw the fabric.

He steps down and I back away.

His stature is strange. I feel at a loss of any kind of judgment my mind could come up with. Its blank at the moment.

"Can you realize how covered you've been inside the cabin and" he finally halts in front of me. I kind of forgot backing away for a moment,"how uncovered you are outside?"

I gripped the hem of my shirt. Gulping down the rising anxiety. I could feel my blaring pulse on my wrist.

Going crazy.

"Let's uh-" I struggled for words, trying to dodge what i felt like an upcoming doom," let's go inside."

I made a daring move on my part and headed towards the door, crossing him.

A bold move indeed.

"You are not going inside yet." A transparent voice. Almost blank. Entirely.

I stopped. That was all the courage I had. Another move and I'm not sure what awaits me,"why not?" I cracked out.

A nervous crinkle of a smile on the edges of my lips was not sure whether to proceed or just to die down in shame.

"I'm not finished yet."

"When will you be finished?" Came out an automated response before I could stop.

"When I'm done with you." His eyes pierced into me," come on now."

With that he moved over to edge, outside the bar of garden, where you could see the dark abyss beneath, growing deeper and deeper with the tallest trees one after the other.

He could just tell me inside the cabin whatever's on his mind.

We dont have to be at that much of a creepy spot.

He sighed as he pushed himself down on his back, dangling the legs down what seemed like a cliff to the eyes.

I stared at his back.

Sunrays did a poor job in fighting against his glory. His midnight locks still shined like a blessed moon under the sun. Putting its luminescence to shame.
