The man in the shadows looked at her curiously, the first sign of emotion that he'd shown from when he met her in the abandoned factory.

"How does it feel to be like me? One and the same as the people you judge?" He asked slowly, looking at the body next to him with a slight dismissive eye.

"I am nothing like you" growled Cadence glaring at him detestfully, sounding exhausted.

The man smiled lightly and a light but dark chuckle ensured. He turned back towards Cadence and pointed at the body.

"That young lady would beg to differ...
If she was alive that is."

She whispered, lips parted, eyes locked with his. She felt dirty for letting him be so close to her and touch her in a way that seemed so foreign and inappropriate- Yet exhilarating... "Maybe scared isn't the right word." His deep baritone voice rumbled, his fingers setting her skin on fire as he reached the opening of her top, the only thing dividing them, "Maybe, confused? Intimidated? But you're not scared of me, right, pet?" "I- I don't know." She answered, her heart pounding against her ribcage, making her shake nervously. "You're scared of this-" his hand lifted back up to circle around her throat and he applied slight pressure, but nowhere near enough to hinder her ability to breathe, "or this."
