Interwined

"Do you trust me?" He asked me, extending his hand towards me. I stared hard into his dark eyes which were now glossed over with tears. This had been the first time that I had ever seen him cry. I could tell he was scared, not just for himself but for me as well. I'm not going to lie, I was scared, too- terrified even. Hell, I was pissed at him for putting me in this situation. "Please? Please, Lilith? Do you trust me?"

Trust. Did I trust him?

"Y-yes." I spoke, my mouth moving before I had time to think. Well, it was too late to turn back now. Without warning he grabbed my hand, pulling me with him as he ran away. I stumbled with him, glancing behind us at the burning house- my burning house. As we got further away I realized that I was going back to the man who had ruined my life. I was going back to the man who had kidnapped me.
