Chapter Seventeen

_________________

–"Beautiful,"

–"I'll always be,"

–"I won't leave you,"

–"You aren't going to lose me,"

–"Im never leaving you,"

–"Never,"

Never...

Never...

Never.

His voice slowly filling my head–a voice I heard before chaos, a voice I wondered where it hid in the darkness and a voice I mourn whenever my dreams turned into nightmares. Reminiscing when his eyes met mine as the storm searched for us–the wind around our bodies, one human and another one unknown to man kind. But, within the layers of his physique I didn't feel scared, or terrorized, even wanting to run away from the giant wolf that stood there, watching me, taking me all in and somehow calling for me without saying a word, wanting me to pull away from the world and come closer to where I felt I belonged. His inhumanity would've scared people away–even myself with them–but, instead his supernatural gift brought me to bond with his heart and the soul I somehow wanted to possess.

Silence.

Darkness.

Silence.

Darkness.

More, and more darkness.

Darkness.

Silence.

–"Darkness... beast..."

–"EVERYONE RUN AWAY, THE BEAST IS OUT!" The thundering voice of the guards covered the screams, the cries and the prayers of the villagers. The growls could be heard within the shadows of the trees surrounding us, making the floor shake as the thunders roared in the near distance.

Storm.

The storm.

–"RUN! OH GOD! RUN!"

Reality was coming back to me like a wave.

–"MAMA! MAMA!"

The cries.

–"GET TO YOUR HOMES!"

The scream.

–"PREPARE YOUR WEAPONS! THE BEAST IS GOING TO DEVOUR US ALL!"

Turning into fear.

–"OH GOD, PLEASE HELP US CHILDREN AND FORGIVE OUR SINS... FORGIVE OUR SINS–"

Turning into pain.

–"THE BEAST IS OUT! RUN! RUN! RUUUUNNNNN!"

I couldn't breathe.

I wanted to run away, I wanted to find him and somehow feel that he was still there–living like before, smiling like before, but all I could feel was emptiness. –"You feel that, princess? Lost. Emptiness. Loneliness. My brother couldn't have done it better..." His voice was like knives into my ears, cutting, ripping, shattering whatever barrier I build up to avoid his darkness, his need for pain. His hands came around me, pushing me against his chest, and somehow my eyes met his–silver eyes, the eyes of a mad man, the eyes of a sadist, the eyes of a heartless man, and the eyes of a man wanting vengeance.

Within me I felt the need to push myself away from him, from his somehow tainted hands as I knew that the real monster around us was... him.

His grip on me was strong, his eyes keeping me locked in place as fear washed over me and my body didn't have the energy to fight anymore. –"Now, princess, you'll be mine, you won't feel him anymore, you won't need him anymore, all you'll have and ever want is me. Only me. Always me." His hand held my chin, his fingers painfully bruising my skin and the smirk that plastered on his mouth made my body go numb.

No.

No...

Please, no!

–"WE NEED TO GO! THE BEAST IS COMING!" The first in command interrupted, pushing the silver eyed away from me and freeing me from destruction, –"WE NEED TO GO! LETS GO!" He ordered, his voice making me wince as the screams and cries covered my ears once again. My eyes turned to them, watching them run, as the rays of the moon gave me enough vision to see them disappear in the darkness.

No.

No.

No!

–"LET'S GO OR–"

–"SILENCE!"

My eyes shifted back to the silver eyed, his voice unnatural, even more sinister, the horror laced onto it making me step back from him as he turned into the first in command, who's eyes shoot wide open, fear covering his features and his body somehow trembled at the disturbing order. He took a couple step backs, but the silver eyed advanced.

Oh no..

Oh god, no.

–"Try and order me again, old man."

His voice was low, but filled with an unpleasant feeling, my stomach felt heavy and I couldn't stand watching the scene.

–"TRY ORDERING ME AGAIN!"

His voice stood louder, above all scream that surrounded us, his voice so inhuman that my fear was just like the villagers, and I felt every bit of it. My hands trembled, my eyes watered and somehow I was expecting for the chaos to unravel.

Before I know it, silver eyes brings his hands around the first in commands throat, his eyes shooting open as the silver eyes slowly pulled him off his feet. M-Monster... My eyes stared in shock, my hands trembling against my chest and somehow my screams were shut by the first in commands pleading voice, -"PUT ME DOWN! PUT ME DOWN, MONSTER!" His eyes watered with tears, his breath heavy and his willing to live getting the best of him.

He trashed.

He punched.

He slapped.

-"NOBODY TELLS ME WHAT TO DO!" Silver eyes screamed in a chaotic voice, his hand closing harder against the first in commands neck, the man letting a scream of pain and horror.

Beast.

Beast!

BEAST!

Oh god, no. –"Sto-"

Crack!

The disturbing sound echoed through my ears.

Thud. Thud...

My eyes slowly gazed up, but, to my horror, the first in commands body laid on the floor lifelessly. The blood running along around his body made me widen my eyes at the scene before me, his head rolling before stopping before me and his dead eyes meeting mine.

Murderer.

Killer.

B-BEAST!

Oh god. He killed all of those men. He killed them. He killed them! My body couldn't stop shaking, my eyes couldn't look away, but my heart felt itself stop at the horror that now was before me, the reality of the chaos that has fallen upon this village.

This...

Heartless being...

This...

Monster.

Silver eyes turned around, his white clothing now covered in red bright blood, the first commanders blood! His hands covered with the same color and his eyes gazing down at me with... inhuman satisfaction as a grin plays on his lips making him look like a madman. But, I knew that he wasn't done yet, as he quickly came towards me and took a handful of my hair with his bloody hands and making me look into his eyes, where everything I saw was red... chaos... a monster. He pulled himself closer, his lips hovering above mine, my body instantly going numb and everything my mind screamed was for him to come.

Beast...

BEAST!

-"Now, you're going to be mine, little red." He whispered, making me feel the knives that dug into my heart. He won't... He won't do it. But, like the monster he was, he didn't stop to no one, not even the screams that erupted from me as his hands traveled along my legs, every touch of his hands making me feel burned, but they didn't stop, they kept traveling upwards and upwards caressing my inner thigh.

"Stop..." I sobbed, feeling the tears falling down my cheeks, and every ounce of hope I had left vanish. The burning sensation on my skin increasing and my heart slowly feeling itself break furthermore into death. –"STOP! STOP! JUST STOP!"

No...

No!

–"BEAST!"
