Pathmakers Stories

"You know, I was going to invite you here and then I was going to kill you, but now that you're here..." he whispered to my ear. I felt his warm body just an inch away from me. Maybe not even an inch. I felt shivers all over my body and I was ready for him to stab me or strangle me to death, but he didn't. My heart was beating rapidly in my chest. "And what exactly is stopping you?" I could say with my weak voice. He thought for a second. "YOU." "Your presence. Your scent. Your skin. Your lips. YOU are stopping me from killing you. Just you." He spelled out and moved just a little bit so he could meet my eyes. He was too close to me. I was too vulnerable. I looked into his eyes and for the first time I saw sincerity in them. Pure sincerity.
