Chapter 10
Michonne had been gone for one day. And now that I lost her everything was more clean. I had to leave Philip behind.
This wasn't fair to me or him.
I wouldn't let his scare tactics get to me this time.
I was going.
"We are having a party tonight. To celebrate us," Philip said as he entered the door.
"I am not going to be there," I said calmly looking into his eyes.
I could do this. I thought taking a deep breath.
"What do you mean?" He looks at me confused.
"Look, I am going to find Michonne. I can't be here without her," I said getting what few things I had together.
"Michonne is probably already dead. Or too far way for you to find her. You need to stay here with me," He says taking my bag out of my hand.
I watched as he threw it into th ground.
"I tried. But I can't. I need to find her," I said.
I truly did feel sorry for him. I knew what how painful it was to have feelings that were not returned. And I was wrong for leading him on. However, I would not let my empathy for affect my decision to leave.
"That is not happening Andrea. If you leave here. I'll make sure Michonne is taken care of," he sneered.
"What do you mean?" I asked shocked at the words coming from his mouth.
"Andrea, I am man who gets what he wants. You aren't stupid are you? How do you think Woodbury works? We take what we want from others. I have killed people before. If you leave I'll kill Michonne. And you too," he threaten.
"How do you I couldn't kick you ass?" I said not wanting to be a victim.
"I am sure you put up a good fight. But even with Michonne by your side, you will be outnumbered. Might as well not even try," he says placing his hand on my shoulder.
Instinctively, I pull away but he uses all his strength to pull me closer.
"Be a good girl and noone will suffer,"he whispers in my ear.
I knew now that Michonne was right. Philip was not the charming man I thought he was. He was a monster.
And he was beyond help.
