Written for the Paint It Red April 2013 Monthly Challenge - prompt: "Save Me" by Bo Bruce. One hundred word drabble!
He was a sporty bad boy and he knew it, right down to his masochistic streak.
But she loved him.
He was the ultimate package of emotional danger, a hazard to every tender heart.
She protected him.
He justified his cruelty as necessary for drawing the light of truth from the darkness of evil.
She brought him victims.
He was hard and self-centered and irreverent to everything she held dear.
She showed him how to get around the rules.
She also saved him from the demons that threatened to tear him apart from the inside out.
And he loved her.
