Ignoring the red I was sure I had seen in his eyes, I laughed mockingly at his opinion throwing it back at him, "or maybe you are different?"
This was a deadly game to be playing especially since his grip upon my throat tightened in displeasure, "of course I am different! It sets me apart from them! But you also are different! I want to know why!?"
My forehead creased into a frown at the tone he used and I held back the desire to bit this little freak and run back to the beach leaving him to die, "let me go and no harm will come to you"
"I WON'T LET YOU GO!!!" he cried in a savage rage, using his other free hand to grasp my wrist ensuring that should my neck break free he would still have hold, "I want to know what makes you different! I want to know if you are like me"
Like him! My rage I could not control.
"Not bloody likely considering I'M NOT HUMAN!!!" this I spat in my temper without realising the damage I had just caused until it was too late and my words could not be taken back.
He dropped me like a hot potato and backed away watching as I stood, eyeing me up and down a mixture of suspicion and curiosity on his face. His hands he couldn't keep still.
"Not human?" he whispered as if he could not believe it, like this was all part of the game, "not possible?"
"I'm leaving"
He moved like lightening, grabbing hold of my arm with both of his hands which tightened their hold upon my arm when I spun round to remove them. Idiot me should just have run away while he stood dumbstruck.
"Tell me more!" he demanded pulling me closer.
"No! Let me go!" I ordered, pushing myself away from him in visible repulsion. He struggled keeping me close. He knew as well as me that his intimidation techniques weren't going to work and a violent rage was pulsing behind his eyes; obviously he hated not being in control.
"What are you if you aren't human!?" he insisted again.
"Nothing-I lied so you would let me go!" I admit this too was a lie and unfortunately for me he saw right through it.
"You can't fool me! How dare you suppose me stupid enough to would fall for such a trick!" one of his hands relinquished their grip on my arm only to come crashing down upon my cheek throwing my head off to the side from such an impact "you didn't hurt like the others! So tell me!"
My cheek stung from his slap and all this did was anger me more "don't tempt me Riddle! I can and will kill you!"
He laughed loudly in a fit of hysterics, leaning in close, a look of pure anger in his features, "what are you?" he had managed to bring me to his chest and being this close made me feel disgusted even more. When angry he looked ugly.
"Let me go and I'll tell you" I lied, keeping my eyes focused on his so that I could form a sort of trust in the hope that he'd let me go.
"You lie to me again! You fool! I can see right through you" he raised his hand again as if to hit me but instead his face twisted even more in anger and he pulled me closer the horrible, despicable human runt!
"I'm not afraid of you and your threats!" I admitted openly.
"Then I will not let you go-this I assure you" his grip just got tighter to the point where I could barely feel my arm. This was not something I was going to win. There was no other choice; I'd have to tell him. How I hate being beaten by a pathetic human, made even worse by one so egotistic.
"Fine I'm going to promise you that I will tell you if you let me go first"
He raised an eyebrow unbelievingly shaking his head.
In desperation I leant into his ear and whispered "I never break promises…you can trust me"
He pulled away and eyed me watching every breath, every twitch and every movement my body made. There was a look of indecision upon his face as he stared into my eyes and I stared right back.
I waited for a while then finally; silently he pushed me from his chest.
"Thank you" I whispered begrudgingly.
"Now tell me" he demanded of me again not stopping for conversation, "or I'll get you while you sleep"
Laughter escaped me as I took his words like they were some kind of a joke but his face said otherwise and I fell silent.
"Now" he sounded dangerous; nothing from the usual.
He stood patiently struggling to keep cool and calm as if nothing had happened. I was about to say when I had a sudden thought, "you really want to know?'
"Wasn't I obvious enough?" he muttered, an attempt at a joke I didn't find funny.
"Okay okay I get the picture" came my sulky reply, "just wanted to know"
He snorted loudly "shut up and tell me already or I'll die of boredom"
How I wished he would! But I didn't voice my opinion; it wouldn't do anything anyway except make him angry again.
"Just don't tease me"
He stared at me indifferent, his foot tapping the ground impatiently; I got the message loud and clear. Sighing with defeat I decided it's time I did some explaining…
