Why don't you try and leave me?

Teaser II

Author Notes:

Sorry, couldn't help but write another teaser :P

Kei's POV

I wished this was an illusion. A beautiful illusion dripping with poison and lies. But it wasn't.

His left hand caressed my cheek slowly. Cautiously. Calculating what would be the right move to keep my anger at bay. He knew the intricacies of my broken self much better than I could conceive.

His fingers wandered down, seamlessly reaching the interval between my lips before his thumb pressed down harshly against my bottom lip. There was no hesitation in his actions. He ran his finger across my lip like it was only natural. Like it was his right to do so.

"Kei. Did you miss me?" He asked, still caressing my lip like he was my long lost lover who has finally returned home. Like he belonged right there with me.

I couldn't speak. Words abandoned me in the presence of those chocolate eyes which glimmered with a hint of dark obsession. Unidentifiable emotions swirled in his brown pools, seeming to possess him completely. For a man who had always relished being in control, this was a supernatural sight to observe. The sight that slowly thawed the iciness of my gaze.

His thumb halted. His face hardened to the likes of steel as he stood completely still, staring into my barren heart. It was a dystopia stuck in time, dry as a drought and deprived of dangerous emotions like love.

Seeing the emptiness evident in my icy blue eyes, accomplishment danced along the never-ending spirals of his pupils.

He gazed upon me like I was his masterpiece in display. Like I was a work of art he had strenuously sculpted, pouring years of his life, with every touch of his hands.

"Tell me."

His golden brown eyes held a fire unlike anything I had ever see. Shrouded in darkness, the flames burnt ferociously, exploding in bursts of danger. The emotions overflowing from the heat of those pools were hard to decode yet they were there. As alive as the predator who lurked in the shade of night.

My heart skipped a beat.

"Yes."

I answered. Without a thought. I couldn't afford think. If I did, the fire would have swallowed me whole.

The twines of my past twisted around me, forcing me back to the dreadful prison I had finally managed to break out of.

I had no choice.

I hated him for still having such power over me.

Still.

Even now.

His stiffened figure visibly relaxed. He came even closer, abandoning all constraints of personal space. His breath tingled against my ear as he leaned down towards my right ear.

"Good."

The voice I had buried deep within me, in the darkest corners of my soul, echoed against my ear, making me dizzy.

His face headed down towards my fragile little neck before I could comprehend. His hands curled hard behind my neck, tilting my neck slightly to better access, making me wince slightly in the process.

His touch sparked fireworks on my skin, bringing the nostalgic taste of the past. My stomach inevitably twisted into a knot, as the familiar anticipation returned, despite my strong protest.

Without knowing it, he opened up an whole new set of demons I had locked up in my dusty closet, demons I had barely exorcised.

Time stood wonderfully still. The sensations of touch amplified.

Without a word, his teeth bit down. Leaving another one of his marks in my pale white skin. One too many.

If only they were just skin deep.

His arms found my waist and clung on tight. Surely branding my skin with newfound bruises due tightness of the embrace. I was forced to take shelter under him, my head leaning against his chest and his chin resting atop my head.

Tears poured out like heavy rains upon a drought. Like those that poured down from the heavens after someone incurred the wrath of the gods, with thunder and lightening. But unlike the loud splash that is heard when raindrops collided with the harsh land, mine were silent.

I was trembling. An unimaginable battle took place within me. A battle between love and hate. As much as I hate him, I loved him more.

At the thought of what a pathetic existence I was, I felt contempt for myself. For letting him have me when I couldn't have me. The whole me.

Why must I be such an idiot to give my heart to a heartless psychopath?

I sobbed. Silence turned into messy sobs.

"Sssh. You just need to stay in my arms. Everything will be alright." He comforted as though he was not the danger that threatened to reduce my life into shambles in the first place.

He was cancerous, growing and multiplying at rates I couldn't hope to stop. It had cost a nasty slash for me to cut him out last time but this time, it would take my bloody soul.

Kei struggled to get out but the hold only got tighter the more she struggled, almost edging on suffocating her.

Air became distant.

Without her permission, her eyes surrendered to the temptation, embracing the darkness.
