DISCLAIMER: whassupppp; Alright, well, After two days of writing and erasing this chapter, Ive had a serious case of "terribad" writers block, I finally came up with a chapter I was happy with, and it definitely put me in a nice mood. Terribad is a new term by the way, catch on 3 enjoy! [Victoria POV]
CHAPTER SEVEN:
I was being forced, and pushed through the dark cave by large hands, gripping on the hood of my long, once white coat, I caught my balance as I tripped a few times, but was repositioned carelessly by the gruff man.I tensed, as it seemed every time we neared to a different path in the cave, his grip would grow tighter, as if I was just going to sprint off at any given chance. Which wasnt true, I had my world right behind me, in the choke hold of Lizard.
It worried me, to see him hold her like that, she didnt need to fall unconscious once more, and didnt need anymore pain caused to her fragile body.
I, myself, could take the pain alone, but taking hers and mine, was a nightmare. Seeing her hurt was the worst heartbreak i'd ever felt myself suffer in an eternity.
I had just wanted her well being so badly, I would go out of my way at any moment for her if she dropped. Regardless, of the cooing giant behind me, fiddling with my butchered off hair, I would devise my own way to get past him, if worst came to worst.
I heard her let out a couple soft coughs, and heard Lizard grunt every time she did, like he was annoyed with her, like she had been the one being so irrational for coughing, after all she had been through, I tried throwing a couple glances back, but my head was immediately corrected, every time I tried.
Which I lacked patience for.
I could hear the soft cries of woman, and the loud laughter of mutants as we passed the boarded rooms, welcoming us once again to the moonlight I had though I missed so much, But then again what was new.
Ruby stood behind Pluto and I, timidly, trying to avoid her brother at all costs. You could tell the poor thing was mortified., and so was I. Where we went from here, How was I to know. nervously, as they pushed us out the doors, and all the echos of cries that remained in the cave had silence, I wrapped my fingers around the trinket tied to my neck, and glared at Kelsi sadly, as Lizard had walked beside Pluto.
Between his slurred speech, I could seldom grasp the concept of the words he spoke to Lizard, Which I in about a second later, found out he had asked if we were headed to the Village.
"You are." he spoke calmly, while releasing Kelsi, and coming over to grab me, while Pluto gripped Kelsi.
Pluto seemed to give Lizard some kind of awkward and childish salute, as he took off with my world once again.
I could feel my body grow numb, even my eyes too sore to cry as I watched a small, not audible, goodbye depart her lips.
I shook my head, I could feel my eyes water again, that was perhaps the only thing I could feel, besides Lizards, encrusted hands slide to my collar bone turning me away from her and walking towards a small cliff.
I didnt cooperate entirely with him, until Kelsi was completely out of my sight, even if she wasnt okay, she was when I last saw her leave me, and I could fool myself into thinking she was.
We were now at a rocky, cliff, but the drop below was only about a good six feet, and below that, tumble weeds, and desolace lurked.
I for the first time in a long time, could see the moon clearly, large, bright, and white. Tiny stars in the distance gave off the dame glow, almost seeming to dance around me.
"Si`down." he motioned his finger to the ground, and I did. Not even looking at him, looking solely up to the stars, my knees wrapped in a bundle under my arms, as I huddled away form him into a ball. I really didnt know how to feel. I didnt understand why I was still alive, still here, and I didnt understand what he wanted, which only brought more frustration to my tired mind. We both remained in silence, I could feel him stare at me, but I didnt at all want to look at him, I didnt want to think about him. But he was always there, one way or another, he would be right behind me, He never for a minute let my mind rest, no peace of mind was given to me, in the periods I was with him, and hes the only one that made me feel that way, So insecure, and drowsy, like I could run for days, and he would never for fit, until he had me, he was underneath my skin. I placed my hands on my temples and began to try to calm myself, trying to think of something tranquil, but it was hard when all I felt was those dead ocean blue eyes burning into the back of my skull. I remembered a book, a long time ago, when I had been in middle school that I read, it was a book, that contained beautiful poems, from students in a specific school, who wanted to speak their minds, it was fiction, but it was still a lovely well put together poem. I mouthed the words not letting out a sound, my lips only formed words.
"If I stood on tiptoe
reached up and sculpted
mountains from clouds
would you laugh out loud?"
"If I dipped my brush in starlight
painted a ribbon of night
on your windowsill
would you laugh?"
"If I drew you adrift
in a pen and ink sea
in a raging storm
would you laugh at me?"
"If I planted watercolor roses
in your garden
would you laugh then?
Or would you breathe deep
to sample their scent?
I wonder."
To me, it was the story of my life, one of the most beautiful things I had ever seemed to be the moral of my life, and my motto. I knew at times, when I was feeling lost, or scared, that would always make me feel better. I'd always wanted to recite it to Kelsi, see if she thought the same, But I didn't think I would ever know now.
I clenched my hands tighter around my knees, and looked over to him, he had never too his eyes off me, and now looked at me, he looked at me differently.
"pretty." he said sluggishly, and waited for me to say something back. I found it weird that he was reading the words right off my lips, and even in the dark. As if he truly did pay that much attention to me.
When I didn't, he made a face of disappointment, and skipped a rock down the small cliff.
"Y think i'm gonna kill ya? he finally said
I narrowed my eyes towards him,that was the most obscene thing i've ever heard, " Do you think iam going to kill you." it had the most obvious answer.
"If not now when you're board with me, had all your fun, when there's nothing left to take from me, then yes. I do, and for you to even ask such a vulgar and ridiculous question, shows just how sadist, and sick you really are."
Having said that he twisted his face in disgust.
"mmm tasty." I mocked having low tolerance. and moved my hand to my stomach, rubbing it in a Circle.
"I hate you. I hate you more than anything, your sick, demented, id rather have had you kill me to begin with, leaving me alive serves you no purpose, when you could be serving me on a silver platter, just like the rest of your fucked up family."
After, I spoke those words, not taking any of it back, I never thought what was about to happen would, i dont know if he was deaf, or what was his issue, but he seemed not to take any of what I said to heart, Not that he had one..Perhaps thats why he was so infatuated with mine.,
He drew near me, crouching, like he was hunting something, or me..
I was in a state of mind, where i just didnt care anymore. Good, I was glad if he was the one about to end my life, because knowing his face was the last image id see, before departing my once dear life, was the best thing that could happen. Knowing as I could be passing, and his face was infront of me, I'd never have to see it again afterwards, didnt seem so bad.
He slinked up to me, pulling off his strip, as i released my arms from my knees, and placed them onto the rock.
It was my time to go, I thought, and it was abut time. With arms wide open, I welcomed him to take my life, I didnt care anymore. And neither did he. So what was the point, iam sure he'd tell Kelsi, my famous last words anyways.
While taking the strip, he dropped it to the ground, and I looked at him confused, as he basically snuggled himself into my arms, pulling some of my long white coat over him while he lay on top of me, and take a handful of it, into his large hands, his head on my chest, this time my heart was racing faster than before. We stayed like that under the moonlight, I was baffled, and he was settled in, comfortable. He didnt want to hurt me?
"you softer then y` sound." he exclaimed.
I couldn't decipher his strange obsession with my heart, or cradling me like a child, and while it was the only comfort I had, and ever expected to get, I placed my soft hand, on top of his rough one and he held it there.I felt strange, should I have pushed him off, and made another run for it, or should I just stay here? It wasnt a second thought later, I made my mind up to stay, I felt it this moment of softness, his weakness, and venerability, towards me, was to precious to let it pass by,We stared at each other, for it seemed like forever under the collage of stars, and the misty moonlit sky. He closed his eyes, and after watching him for a while, I closed mine.
Maybe I didnt hate him as much as I thought.
