He paces back and forth; hands shaking violently. He releases a frustrated growl as his fingers run through his hair. "God! How could I be so stupid?" He yells kicking the scrap metal; sending it flying down the alley. I take a step back, afraid by his sudden outburst. I have never been frightened by him before but this feeling of uncertainty was making me want to cower under the covers of my bed. "I'm sure whatever you did couldn't be that bad..." My voice comes out in a whisper. "No! No, you don't understand- I broke it. They found out!" He is still pacing. I raise an eyebrow in confusion. "What did you break?" I try to sound calm but I can't control the tremble in my words. He stops and keeps his focus on the ground. "The most important rule..." His eyes move to meet mine. "Never fall in love with your victim."

He strides closer, his eyes focused intently on me. I stumble backwards, feeling the cold wall press against my back. He stops inches away from me, forcing me to stare at his dark brooding eyes. I was enthralled by them, luring me in. "What are you doing?" My throat went dry as I spoke, his figure closing in. His scent made it even harder to think straight, a mix of fresh pine and smoky wood was all I could breath in. He doesn't answer and leans in closer to me, I could've gotten lost in his eyes, he tilted his head as the light shadowed the side of his face. "You amuse me, Abby" He whispered. His lips grazing my cheek. I stood there, stunned by our proximity. He pulled back slowly, staring, unflinching. "Don't go looking too deep, you'll regret it once you find what I'm hiding" I heard the door close, and he was gone once I regained my sanity. *** He was fire to my soul, his touch an electric cold shiver to my skin, and his eyes were the most troubled I could ever find. The way his eyes gazed at me, they held forbidden secrets. I was curious to what made him so closed off to the world, so twisted and cruel. I was drawn to him than anyone I've ever encountered, a man with a brutal past and a forgotten heart. They told me to stay away, but I didn't listen. They said my curiosity would kill me, then let that be the end of me. *UNDER EDITING* *READ AT YOUR OWN RISK*
