Rhae
She knew it was only a matter of time before he came for her. Or, she didn't know, but she thought there might be a chance of it. Sometime. Maybe. Why would he, really? There was nothing special about her, and why was she even thinking of him anyway? She should be enjoying her freedom in his absence. Although, in truth, not knowing where he was and what he was doing was far more terrifying than seeing him. It was worrying to know there was a bullet coming to the back of your head, and having to wait for it.
And with a Pop. Pop. he was there with a warning shot.
She'd been walking with her head a little higher than she normally did, growing more confident. Or, she thought she'd tried to anyway. At least to appear that way if she could. She couldn't really recount it, actually, as soon as he touched her.
He coiled around her and she froze, her heart racing. She watched tentatively from the corner of a blue eye as his lips trailed along her skin. Her breath quickened, disturbed by how good it felt. Nothing he did should be good. She knew it and yet here she still was, deafened by the wild beat of her heart.
He looked...Bigger. Thicker. Aging into the impossible beauty of whatever creature he was. This was his magic too, wasn't it? This...fatal attraction. It only happened when he was near, so it must be. Another of his dark tricks. A play on her emotions.
But knowing it didn't make it any less real.
She ripped her eyes away from his handsome face as he lipped sweetly at her hair. So sweetly. Nobody had ever touched her like this. Could he really mean it? Maybe it could be real, right? She wasn't truly that terrible to look at, was she? Maybe he could see through her flaws...
"I have missed you, Rhae."
She was unaware of the flicker of hope in her eyes as she hesitantly curled her neck to see him.
"Have you missed me as well?"
Could this be real?
Missed.. Me? she repeated dumbly in a whisper. Why did that sound so nice? Why did she want this? God, he's so handsome. There's no way this is real. He could have anyone.
She swallowed and tried again, her voice surprisingly steady.
Why would I miss you?
Oh. God. Did she just say that? She held a shaky breath, though her eyes held his with more courage than she truly felt. She was not this bold thing, and still she foolishly seemed to challenge him. There was no trust for him. Everything he did and said would be a lie, no matter how badly she might wish otherwise. She did wish it, didn't she?
Stupid Rhae. You are so stupid.
