A Light In The Dark

Chapter 4

!Warning! lol, um I thought I should tell you in advance. This story is pretty much falling apart beneath my fingertips as they key in this sap fest on the keyboard. Yes its sickeningly sappy and ooc. I am trying so hard to make this relationship work! I don't know, maybe I'm being way too hard on myself. I'll let you be the judge :)

Violet had asked herself this very same question countless times before. What the hell was wrong with her? Violet was truly terrified now; she knew Olaf wasn't playing games anymore.

"So Violet, you still think I'm good?" Did she? Violet hardly knew what to believe anymore; she could only pray to god that there was good in him.

"I –I don't know. There must be some good in you." Olaf smirked, moving closer to Violet, to close.

"I don't believe you've exactly grasped the evilness of my nature Violet. What can I do to make you see?" He grabbed her by the waist pinning her against the wall. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her roughly, his hand sliding down her nightgown, further and further until she resisted.

"Stop it!"

"Now you tell me to stop? Well I'm sorry my dear but I'm afraid it's to late for that."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because, I think it's about time you see the gravity of my depravity." He continued his assault but she pulled away.

"Please! You're hurting me."

"I'm simply evening the score Violet. After all, you too have been hurting me for quite some time now. I think it's time you really understand just how much you hurt me." He grabbed her hand, forcing it down to his groin. Violet nearly began to cry; her innocent heart could not comprehend the cruelty of what he was doing and why he felt she deserved this.

"Do you know what this is Violet?" She said nothing, she hardly breathed.

"This, my dear is what you do to me. Do you know what its like to want something so bad that is so untouchable? It's the worst kind of pain you could ever imagine. And you do it to me Violet." Violet was trembling now. Trying hard not to cry, she attempted to speak.

"But I was kind to you." She uttered in a small voice before she finally gave in and let the tears tumble down her cheeks. Olaf felt the change in her body against his as she finally gave up. No more was she the strong confident girl who never cried. He had broken her; finally he had broken her after trying for so long. But her tears, her frailty, and the tone of utter betrayal in her voice brought him no satisfaction. This had been his goal for so long, to break her down and see her weak before him, and he didn't like it at all. Olaf let go of her and pushed her away from him.

"I am a monster." He whispered to himself. They stood in silence for moments that seemed like hours. Violet tried to calm down as she thought silently to herself. Olaf stood with his back to her, cursing himself and wondering why she did not leave. Finally, Violet broke the silence.

"No you're not. I thought before that you'd proven it but no, you are not a monster and no you are not evil." He couldn't believe what he was hearing. After all the ways he had hurt her, still she refused to call him evil.

"How can you say that? After all I have done? After all the people and things I have taken from you."

"But you didn't take everything, you could have quite easily, but you didn't. You didn't take what you needed, you saved me from yourself. You did the right thing, the good thing. You are not evil.

"What? Because I didn't rape you? For god sakes, do you know how close I was?"

"But you didn't, you couldn't!" And why didn't he? Why hadn't he simply taken what he wanted? Because he realized, because I care for her and I could never harm her like that.

Violet felt the same. She was tired of fighting herself. You can't deny what you feel, she realized. Their love, however sick and twisted, was there and it would always be there. They were bound together, by his actions and her need to avenge her loses.

"Violet, what do you want from me? I'll do anything, just tell me what to do." He was certain that she'd ask for him to let her and her siblings go, and for him to stay out of her life forever, but Violet could never ask for such a thing. She knew that from the moment she stepped out his door, he would always be with her. In her mind, her heart, and her soul he would always stay haunting her dreams forever. If she left now, surely she would spend the rest of her life wondering what it was she left behind. She needed to know why he made her feel so strange, and she wasn't going to leave until she found out.

"I want you to let your guard down, I want you to show me who you really are, I want you to fill this hole you've made in my heart. Violet walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his tall frame. She was so soft, so tender and gentle; Olaf couldn't understand how such a lovely creature could ever show so much compassion to a monster like him. He was cold and stiff in Violet's arms. She had told him to let his guard down but how could he? He had learned at an early age to be cold and heartless. It was the best defense he had during those troubling times.

"Please." She whispered softly against his chest.

"Violet I-" but he couldn't find the words to say so he buried his face in her hair instead.

"Why can't I let you go Violet? I've waited so long. Endured the pain all to save you from myself. Why don't you run from me? I am such an awful selfish person. You don't deserve this Violet. God, I don't know how much more I can take."

"Neither do I" Violet said. She didn't think she had the strength or the will to fight her feelings for this man any longer.

"What?" he asked, confused.

"I don't think I can take much more of this either. Just do it Olaf. I'm giving myself to you. I need to know what you mean to me, I need to know! Now was her time to stand up and finally follow her heart. She ignored the voices in her head telling her she was crazy as she reached up on her tiptoes and grasped his rough face in her hands as she found his lips with her own.

Just wait till the next chapt. ;) So what did you think? Do you want to throw up now? Was it as bad as I thought? Did it have any redeeming qualities at all? Please let me know. Reviews and CC are greatly appreciated.
