[COMPLETED]✔
Book 4 of The Deliverance Series
Cormac smirks and replies, "Clever man...writing our worlds while hiding his daughters away."
"My dad is my dad, you make absolutely no sense!" I'm quick to snap at him, frustrated by everything he's been claiming as the time he's spent here helping me with school alters his thoughts about me.
Cormac chuckles while sighing, "No, nothing around you is what it seems, a clever way to keep you safe until you were ready to-" he cuts himself short as I can hear Edith banging on the door, crying for me. When his eyes glance back to capture my own, he tells me very carefully, "You've read it all...we weren't prepared for him and that's why your parents created all of this to keep you and your sister safe until...now."
"I...I need to take my medication," when I go to move away, I feel the air shift around me, Cormac now standing before me.
"No, you don't," he observes me with fascination, "there's nothing wrong with you."
"But I see and do-"
Cormac cuts me off when he gently chuckles, "There's much more you'll come to understand," he glances to the books and then nods, "be careful what you wish for..."
"I just want this to all stop," I'm shaking my head profusely, not truly understanding everything he says. It doesn't make sense...
...it's words spun of a fairytale
He's calm as I stare at him hard, asking, "What about Edith?"
"She will be safe here, that I can assure you as your mother left nothing to chance," Cormac reassures me and at this very moment, everything around me seems to be flickering in and out of existence, especially when we both turn toward the books.
"I'm scared," my voice is so weak and hardly above a whisper while Cormac picks up Code of Conduct.
Cormac turns to me while holding the book in his hands. As he slowly extends it toward me, he arches a brow and asks, "Are you ready to tempt fate, little sparrow?"

Before I begin, I just want to say that this story does include some mature themes. I will also give out a warning a chapter prior to these scenes.
Getting that out of the way, let's go onto the story description...

I stared at him, cooking and whistling, something that I could not do, or should I say, wasn't bothered to do. I decided to move away and to try and find an exit but I didn't even take one step back when I heard his voice.
"Princess? Is that you?"
I saw him raise his head before shooting his eyes onto me. The sudden gaze caused to heart to race while it froze my body as if I have turned into ice. I felt the fear engulf my body, eating me inside out.
"You aren't scared of me... Are you?" he asked me, I sensed the envy in his voice. That mixed with his harsh tone caused a wave of goosebumps to course through my body.
I wanted to begin by asking him where was I? Why was I here? Why was he here... I wanted to ask him, but I couldn't, the fear was just all too much for me.
"Come on... Speak to me... Ask me..." he began.
"Ask me 'why am I here' and all of that crap... Entertain me with your fear."
I saw him slowly gripping a knife that was on the countertop, with his eyes still on mine. The sides of his mouth slowly began tilting upwards. All the bitterness and the cold, it was all so visible in his eyes.
I looked at him in horror, noticing him as he took his first steps towards me.
"Talk to me... Because this might be the only time you will ever be able to talk, " he said this sentence in such a calm tone, it caused me once again to shiver with goosebumps.
"W-what do you mean...". Never in my life have I stuttered, until then.
