Fear rushed through each and every one of her veins, she wanted to vomit she was terrified. "Please come get me." She whimpered. "Okay Faye, you need to calm down I can't hear you, you're breathing too hard."

She begged, tightening her hold on the phone. "Now tell me where you are." He demanded with worry evident in his voice. Making sure she was speaking in a loud and clear voice she tells him her location. "Okay, I'm on my way. Stay where you are and make sure you're safe." As soon as she ended the call, an atrocious growl erupted behind her making her whole body tremble more than she was already. Tears of fear ascended down her cheeks knowing that she was done for. "Mine!" He snarled from behind. Faye stood still, not an inch of her body was moving as she heard his slow footsteps approach her. The air thickened around them to which she found herself panting as she felt his breath fan against the delicate skin of her neck. "Mine!" He growled louder into Faye's ears. She hated this. She hated him. She wanted nothing more than death to consume her. || ON HOLD ||
