Michael grabs my body, pushing the gun to his side. He grabs my shirt and pulls it off of me harshly. I cry out, pushing him backwards. He stumbles over a log and tumbles into mud. “Fucking… bitch.”
I push myself back, scrambling back onto my feet. Running away from them, I hear Rome behind me laughing, “I love it when they run.”
They?! Has he done this before?
I run as fast as I can dodging the trees around me. The sound of their heavy footsteps makes my whole-body shake. I swear I can feel them right behind me.
I know Rome specifically, is way faster than I am, even in this form. So, I know he’s just playing a game of cat and mouse at this point.
I feel hands grab me and pull me back into a hard chest. I hear Rome’s laughter right next to my ear and his warm breath as my neck. Panicking, I throw my head back.
Crack!
His arms let me go as he grabs for his face. Glancing back, I see the gush of blood running down his face.
I take off running again. After a few moments, I turn and look back. No one is following me… Why?
Then I hit something solid that stops me in my tracks.
I freeze, feeling warmth and fuzz against my face. Swallowing, my hands plant into the fur and push me back a bit. My eyes look up… up… and up until I faintly see the face of a white skull in the moonlight. This creature in front of me is enormous, at least eight feet tall compared to my five-foot self. It’s eye sockets are pure black but the small crimson laser eyes look down at me. It’s sharp jagged teeth lay over each other on its top and bottom skull. Horns sit out from the base of its skull, curling around pointed furry ears. Everything besides its skull is furry. Fur covers over his chest that rises and falls quickly and then runs down its arm and to its long claws.
It’s him.The monster… The boogie man…
Heavy footsteps come behind me until they finally come to a halt. “Holy fuck…” Michael whispers.
“She’s not your sacrifice… don’t touch her,” Rome orders. He talks to it as if it’s lower than him.
But it listens, not touching me at all, but looking down at me.
“Step back, beast.”
I would not be talking to him like this, especially when it looks like it can swallow all three of us.
Again, it listens.
He controls the beast… He can control this… this thing? I hear footsteps coming towards me and I see my life flash before my eyes.
Rome is going to take me… rape me… then I’d be a slave for the rest of my life. He would treat me how he wants and do whatever he wants to me. I’d be a bird in the cage for the rest of my life.
Without another thought, I move around the monster, hiding behind him. My hands buries into its warm fur. “Just eat me.”
Its skull head turns a bit to look down and back at me.
“Please, I just want to die.” My eyes tear up and I try to control my trembling lips. “He’s gonna… He’s gonna hurt me.” Like this monster cares. No one cared.
“Step aside, beast,” I hear Rome order.
And just like that the beast moves to the side. I stare right down the barrel of a gun.
“Move, slave,” he cocks the gun to where he wants me to go.
My heart drops and a sob break through my lips. Tears rush down my cheeks as I wrap my arms around my exposed bra.
“Shut the fuck up,” Rome snaps, grabbing my arm and pulling me away. I dig my heels in the ground and try to yank myself backwards. He ceases his movement and slams me into his chest. “Move before I tell the monster to tear you apart until you bleed out.”
My lungs sting with the lack of air and my vision is blurred with tears. My heart is pounding, and my hands are shaking.
He brushes one of my curls behind my ear and I move away. “Don’t worry… No one will hurt-”
