Warning: There are a lot of tears shed in this chapter, reader beware (not really I'm just playing with you. :D)
I fell to my knees, tears stung my eyes and my cracked voice. "Erik you have got to believe me, I'm not insane, if I could prove it to you I would, but I would be telling you too much." I looked at him pathetically, pain and confusion shone in his eyes, "Erik, please." I begged. He looked at me in sympathy.
"You seem like you know what you're talking about, you sound so convincing Jaclyn, I can see the truth in your eyes, but the tale is just so unbelievable." Erik made his way to me, and took my face in his hands.
"Are you sure you aren't being delusional?" I nodded. Erik turned his head not able to look at me, his gentle hands disappeared from my face. I wiped the tears away and stood back up, "That means, we can't be." Erik said. I looked at him in confusion. "What do you mean, Erik?" I squeaked. He turned to look at me, his eyes red for he was now in tears.
"Jaclyn if you are from the 21st century, you eventually have to go back." Our roles had now switched, Erik fell to his knees and just fell the rest of the way to the floor, I rushed to his side, sobs racked his body, "Why must fate be so cruel to Erik, why?" He looked at me, he was talking in third person, oh dear, that wasn't a good sign.
"Erik, I'm in hiding, I'm running away from a psycho. He was a stalker. "
"Yes and to just get abducted by another." Erik interrupted me.
"No Erik, you were afraid of being alone again, you needed a companion, I'm not afraid of you as I am him." I cooed gently, laying a hand on his back.
"Jaclyn should be, Jaclyn needs to fear Erik, he nearly raped her the first day she was in his so called 'care'." I sighed heavily.
"Erik, that was the past." I said quietly.
"Yes and just another mistake that Erik will remember when he dies." He replied. I was getting agitated. "Stop it, now, stop throwing a pity party for yourself, it never got anyone anywhere, do you hear me, Erik?" I said sternly, I felt like a mother. My advise seemed to get through his thick skull, for he picked himself up off the ground and stood, offering me his hand, I took it and he helped me up.
"You're right Jaclyn." I nodded, "I usually am." I replied, Erik chuckled slightly.
"Tell me, how did that man become obsessed with you?" Erik asked softly as his fingertips brushed the flesh of my cheek.
"I was a famous singer and well he was originally a fan but he had to have me." Erik had a sad glint in his eye.
"I won't continue." I said, turning away from him, this had to be reminding him of his situation of Christine. His hand found a place on my shoulder, gently turning me back to him, I looked him in the eyes, "Its okay, continue." H said sweetly.
"I'd rather not, I don't like recalling my past, its just too much." I fell to a spell of uncontrollable tears. Erik took me in his arms and cooed to me softly, attempting to calm me. It worked a little, but not even the gentle warmth of Erik's voice could heal what wounds that had been done to me. I wanted the life I had before the fame, before everywhere I went I had people screaming my name, before I trembled in fear at the mention of the name Donavan Monroe but then again, I didn't I didn't want Erik to be left alone. I shuddered, just thinking what he could have done to me if the police hadn't come in the nick of time, sadly, and obviously, he got away, unseen he was a monster, the real spawn of Satan with a black heart, greedy and selfish, wanting one thing and everythinga about that one thing alone, me, my body, heart, and soul, the only person that any of those things belongs to was the man who was holding me, rocking me and scaring away the memory of that thing slowly. He kissed the top of my hair, "Its okay, Jaclyn, he will never find you again. I promise, he'll never lay eyes on you again." His words were selfless and gentle, he stroked my hair. I wiped away my tears and just stayed there in Erik's arms, I could have stayed there forever, safe in his arms. But little did I know, I had limited time with my Erik.
Sorry for the short chapter, I'm kinda drained.
