He could kill her on a mere whim, and she would be powerless to stop it. Ariana knew this, but it wasn't enough to keep her away from him. She longed for him and everything he stood for. She craved the heavenly knowledge that he'd be hers and in the end, that was her undoing.
Here she stood, her normally bright face ashen in front of his demanding form. Smiling a strained smile, she moved forward, placing her hand gently into his own when he silently commaded her to.
The mad man smiled, his teeth gleaming in the dim light the moon provided. Stars twinkled above them, but they were mocking; silently reprimanding her for willingly going with such an evil person.
"You're mine," he reminded her, placing his lips lightly onto her hand, blue eyes looking intently into her own, daring her to refuse the statement.
"I know," she whispered, a lone tear falling down her cheek. His pale hand reached up, gently wiping it away. It was at that moment, Ariana wished she could die. It was moments like these that got to her; moments where he'd be gentle and kind instead of mean and cruel.
"Why do you stay? Aren't you afraid of me?" he questioned, moving his hand down her cheek until it reached her neck and lightly carressing the skin he found there.
"I'm not afraid of you," she lied. Gellert simply hummed, his dark eyes shining with ill intent.
"Oh, sweetie," he purred. "But you really, really should be."
