I kept running and running, my heart beating fast, my legs burning from all the cuts and bruises, my breathing becoming harder with each passing second, my body feels like it would crumble any moment. But still I run, telling myself to not look back. Because if I get caught, he'll lock me up for sure this time. I don't know when the next opportunity to my freedom will come. Heck, I don't even know if I'll get another chance at all. For he would make sure that the freedom is gone.. Forever. But suddenly the world around me spins and before I can realise it, a strong pair of arms hold me in place. I open my eyes and they meet with his icy ones. I'm on the ground with him hovering on top of me, his hands holding my both sides, caging me. The look of pure horror portrayed on my face as he looks at me like he was about to kill me. No No No No Noo.. I wanted to cry, I wanted to scream, but my fear made me mute, numb. I had been caught.. Caught by the devil. Aresteir Trevante Amaris, a name that makes even the bravest shake to their core in fear, a name so much frightening that it is forbidden to use in public, a name that is the perfect example of darkness. For he is the most ruthless and powerful mafia alive, and there is no doubt about it. A man not capable of feeling love nor happiness. That's what people think at least. But the moment his eyes land on Alissa Throne, he feels emotions he never knew he was capable of feeling. And he knew he would make her his whether she liked it or not. And no one could stop him......

'A scared little girl, that's you, Willow. That's all you've ever been and all you ever will be, do you understand?' He spits venomously, getting so close to me that all I can see and hear is him, all I can feel is him and I hate it. I try my hardest to swallow the lump in my throat and ignore the tears threatening to spill over as his hurtful words echo in my head. Shaking my head feebly, I try and take a step back but he clamps his hands tightly onto my shoulders, forcing me to meet his dark eyes. I can't even find it in me to feel embarrassed anymore when a traitorous tear escapes my eye, prompting a scoff from Eli. I just need to get away from him, even if it's just a few steps, I need to put some distance between us so I can escape his painful words. But despite my struggle, his grip on my shoulders only tighten and soon the corners of his lips are lifting in malice when he sees how desperate I become to get out of his hold. 'So stop trying to play the hero when you're such a coward yourself. Because that's all you are- just a weak, pathetic, littl-' And that's when I slap him. And I regret it instantly- because no-one, and I mean no-one, slaps Eli Walters and gets away with it. --- I was only thirteen when my best friend was taken from me. Up until that point, we had practically been inseparable. And then she was gone, and overnight I had to learn to adapt to a life without the light of Ciara Walters in it. Doing even the simplest of things suddenly became a hundred times harder and walking into school that following fall without her by my side felt like one of the worst things I had ever had to face. Especially since I knew who was waiting for me inside, because the day I lost my best friend was also the day I gained an enemy in the form of a boy called Eli Walters, Ciara's twin brother. • TW: mentions of death. | @oreoz4milk x.9.20
