Wow guys we're up to chapter 4 now! Thank you so much for reviewing your kind words spur me in this quest to release updates to you. Please keep doing so and I will keep supplying the goods. Enjoy.
I strode powerfully down the previously trodden path through the woods away from the couple, away from their happiness and away from their love…
I stopped after a few minutes and closed my eyes allowing my psyche to reach out into the surroundings. It was faint but I felt them they were there again and their auras were normal again. I breathed out deeply and looked down at my hands to inspect the damage meeting Hero had done to them. Yet again blood proudly shone through the sticky, damp clothes that cocooned my hands in order to prevent exactly this from happening. However the damage wasn't too great; well not physically anyway, Hero…why was he looking at me like that?
It was as if he was searching my soul for something deeper, for something hidden away from my surface…for something to exploit. I suddenly shuddered as the wind turned harsh, whipping around my form and unnerving the tall, usually passive trees high above me; making the impenetrable canopy of arms bend effortlessly to its will. The seemingly limp branches parted and merged together out of sync, allowing brief flashes of light to bore down on my tiny figure then instantaneously disappear casting me back into darkness.
This sense of foreboding shook me to my core; tremors ran though my hands uncontrollably, what was happening? My breath was short and sharp trying to keep myself stable but was failing miserably, the trees, grass, everything started to spin around me. These festering thoughts returned to me, ensnaring me in their web, keeping me suspended in time…
Did you see how happy Minako was with Hero?
Did you see how easily she has moved on from you?
Did you see how easily it was for her to forget you?
Did you see how meaningless your love is for her?
These whispers clogged my normally sharp mind, twisting and piercing into my heart with their harsh chants, I clutched my head, the agonising reflections revolving mercilessly in the dark recesses of my mind, feeding it and encouraging it to spread to the other corners of my brain, to allow the burgeoning fears encompass my entire being. No…not again, my control was slipping away like water, easily snaking past my defences…
Cold hands snatched at my wrists, wrenching them backwards so that I was forced against the rough contours of bark, I managed to keep my head from snapping back and hitting the solid structure of the tree as my clouded eyes met sinister, darkening brown ones.
"He..ro?" I chocked out before I found my head smashing against the tree, pain searing through my head but I couldn't focus on that, his smooth lips were devouring mine hungrily, his teeth nipping forcefully at my lips, not enough to break the skin but bruise them. I gasped involuntary, my mouth opening wide enough so that his nauseating tongue was able to slip into my mouth and explore everything. Increasing in his unbridled lust, I tried to force my wrists out of his iron grip but he only tightened the pressure, increasing the amount of blood escaping from my wounds, that hung open, horrified at the strengthening peril I was currently trying to refute.
I screamed into his hellish mouth, searching relentlessly for an opening to gain an escape route but my efforts were futile as I felt him crushing the rest of his body against my convulsing form, his knee lodging itself between my legs. Something stiff pressing into me through my clothes, eyes widening in realisation I doubled my attempts to escape this nightmare. I tore my face to the side and gasped rapidly,
"Why..are..you..do..ing this!"
He stopped and studied me before licking the length of my face smirking at my disgusted reaction but refrained from any other advancements on me and I looked into his now pitch black eyes, petrified, my body was shaking from the stress and strain of fighting him.
"Because I like you, Rei," his tone was sickeningly sweet but it was enough for me to catch him off guard with a knee to his ribs followed by an elbow to his eye. He roared at the abrupt attack, releasing my hands from my wrists as I shoved him out of the way to run for it but he recovered quickly and snatched me back to him. However this time his back was against the solid tree and he held me to him but I grabbed his wrists and held them at either side of his smirking and bloody face to prevent him from switching positions again.
"You sick bast.." I snarled but he caught my bruised lips in another lustful kiss, then my heart stopped.
"Hero? REI!!" the shrill cry erupted from Minako's mouth as I pushed myself away from the…crying boy?
"Minako!" He whimpered running to her and hugging her tightly,
"REI! What the fuck are you doing?" She screamed disgustedly at my paralysed body.
"She…she tried to rape me and…and hit me when I tried to get away," Hero wept pathetically as Minako gently stroked his now bruised eye, watching him wince at her light touch.
Whipping round at me, Minako stomped towards me, her rage flaring unstrained as she bellowed at me,
"What the hell do you think you were doing REI? What the FUCK was that? Have you no shame? You meet MY boyfriend and you try and fucking RAPE him? We're OVER Rei, I HATE you and I don't know why I ever LOVED you! What the Hell do you have to say to explain th…this! Behaviour of yours?"
I shrank under her onslaught of words, utterly stunned, my throat felt restricted as I opened my mouth to speak but I couldn't find the words to defend myself, to tell Minako what really happened and warn her…
My face rapidly snapped to the right, my cheek burning as I felt the sting of Minako's hand, her long manicured nails slicing along my skin, creating new cuts that released heavy crimson tears that sluggishly streaked across my cheek.
"I don't EVER want to see you AGAIN Rei!" I didn't lift my head from the position Minako had left it to watch her storm away back to Hero. My eyes caught his now soft, chocolate brown eyes only to see him smirking triumphantly at me…
Yeah I had not idea how to end this chapter but this kind of wrote itself so I'm sticking to it. Please review and tell me if you think I should increase the rating of the story. The more reviews I receive the greater the chance of me updating faster so any feedback is appreciated. – Dark Shadows 01
