Reign

Chapter 44

I mentally curse at myself for being so stupid. I should have waited until Matt was asleep before I escaped. But I couldn't wait, once I saw an opportunity to escape, I took it. 

I keep running but look back and see Matt running towards me, he was about seven feet away from me.

He had this hard expression his face. He looked insane, like a serial killer ready to kill it's next victim.

It made me run even faster, then my regular pace. Thank goodness I was in good shape, otherwise he would have already caught me.

I keep running down this long, deserted road, unaware how close Matt is, but I get a sense when he grabs me from my waist

I scream with terror as he clutches onto me, never letting me go

He turns me around to face him, his face was red from the cold, but what scared me the most was his eyes. They were a dark blue, darker than usual. He looked mad. A mad man.

"You're in so much trouble." And with that he throws me over his shoulder and starts to walk back down the road

I start screaming and pounding on his back

"I command you to release me!" I scream

"Matt please!"

My screams slowly start to become sobs and I stop hitting his back once I realize once I was caught and there was nothing I could do to get away from this monster.

"What the hell is going on? I heard her screaming." I hear Henry's voice

"She tried to escape, but I'll teach her a lesson so she won't even think of doing it again." Matt says back

I shiver from the coldness and sniffle when I hear these words come from his mouth

"Good. I'm going back to sleep." Henry says

Matt opens the door the his house and he steps in

I push at his chest, trying to get out of his touch

He finally puts me down, and looks at me with a deadly stare

I'm breathing hard and can't think straight

He grabs my wrist and brings me closer to him

"Do you really think you could run away from me?" He chuckles

My lips part and I look down

"DO YOU?!" His voice booms through the small house

I shake my head quickly "N-no." 

He slaps me with such force I fall 

He kneels down next to me and kisses my lips

I push my face the side to try to get of his reach, but he grabs my face so I couldn't move. He was also putting pressure on my face where he had hit me, so it wasn't useful to try to move.

He kisses my my forehead all the way down to my neck

I gulp all my pride down my throat and speak "Matt I-I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have ran."

I only said this so he would stop assaulting me

He looks up at me and smirks, an evil smirk

"Say that again." He orders

I blink and repeat "I'm sorry."

He kisses my lips again

"All I want is for you to love me darling." He pleads

I feel bad for him. He was ill and didn't know what he was doing. He just wanted someone to love him, that's all. That's all anyone wants in life is for someone to love them. To care for them, to take care of their wounds, to kiss their pain away.

I sit up and so does he, his eyes are filled with tears

I touch his arm delicately "It's okay Matt."

"NO! IT'S NOT OKAY!" He stands

"I'VE DONE EVERYTHING FOR YOU AND YOU WON'T EVEN GIVE ME A CHANCE!" 

He kneels down to me and picks me up 

"Matt! Put me down!" I scream

He walks into the bedroom and slams me on the bed

I start to crawl away but he grabs my ankles and pulls me back to him

He unbuttons my shirt so quickly before I could even process what was going on

He kisses my bare chest, he lifts his eyes up to my watery ones

He touches my cheek "Are you afraid of me?"

I nod slowly 

"Stand up."

I obey and put my arms around my bare chest

He sits down on the bed, he never takes his eyes off of me

"Take off your pants." He orders

I shake my head "No."

"If your pants aren't off in a few seconds, I'll have to punish you." He threatens

I didn't know what he meant when he said "punishment" and I didn't want to find out

I swiftly take off my boots, then my pants

I was completely exposed to an insane man

His expression is blank as he eyes me up and down

He stands up and makes his way towards me, I don't back away. I stay put as he rakes his cold hands up and down my waist. He takes my hair out of the ponytail and watches as my curls go past my rear end. 

"I just want to touch you." He whispers to me

I don't speak, I keep my head down, I couldn't bear to look at him.

"J-just hold me." I squeak

He nods and wraps his arms around my waist and buries his face in my neck. My tears wet his chest, but he doesn't mind, he holds onto me even tighter

"You'll be happy soon." He promises me
