Chapter 23 : Lost In My Own Thoughts (Zane & Nana's POV)
Nana
I laid on the bed, tired above all else. I didn't want to eat nor drink anything that Damien had offered me.
Every time I was forced to, that sickening feeling followed by the pain it had caused was something I never wanted to experience in my life again.
But it just kept happening over and over...
I had managed to get by off of what change I could find around the house. Damien would often leave or wander off, sheltering me and pretending that I don't exist.
I don't even know what he does in there...
Maybe making more of that fucking poison...
I clenched my stomach, the pang of hunger hitting be once again. I let out a whine, the pain becoming too much. I wanted to cry, and let everything out.
I miss my life.
I miss my friends.
I miss Zane..
I stood up from the bed and struggled to walk down the hallway. I was trying to head to the secret stash of money I kept spare. But a hand stopped me.
"Where do you think you're going? I have something for you to do for me~." He cooed. The tone of his voice sent fear straight through my body.
I felt a shock rack through my body as I realized something. His eyes...
They were cloudy...
I couldn't tell what that emotion in his eyes were. It was like nothing I have ever seen before, which was saying something.
I have had a lot of guys in my life; most of which I couldn't even remember the names of or even had a first kiss with. But his eyes scared me the most.
"Don't be scared. You'll be safe in my hands very soon." He said, while leading me back to the bedroom.
At this point, I was scared. I didn't want to be taken advantage of because of the current state I'm in.
I'm saving myself for the perfect guy.
And I've already found him.
I struggled against him, but he only gripped tighter as I grew more scared and more panicked. My mind turned to the worst as I was sat onto the bed, Damien sitting beside me.
The adrenaline flowed through me as I had a little more strength than before if I had to make a mad dash for it. The door was closed, but it wasn't locked.
Damien grabbed my face in between his thumb and the rest of his four fingers. I felt my cheeks become squished in his villainous hand as I felt a chill down my spine.
"You trust me, don't you?" He asked, a fake sense of care blinding whatever true intentions laid behind that mask of his.
To my surprise, I nodded my head without even thinking? What's wrong with me!?
His smile grew wide as his eyes thinned with satisfaction. He grinned as he let out a chuckled.
"You know Kawaii~Chan," He began, hands placed firmly on my hips. "I'd love to have you all to myself."
He leaned in closer towards my face. At this point, I was severely worried about the situation I got myself into.
"You love me, don't you? Please say you do."
I froze.
I didn't love him, but this voice in the back of my head was shouting that I do. But I've only ever loved Zane more than anyone I had ever been with.
"You love me now. Don't you?" He said sternly, as if he has been expecting me to say "Yes." But I-
Wait a minute.
Is that what he was planning this entire time?
And using whatever he put inside of the things he gave me to manipulate me? To make me his girlfriend again?
I cannot believe this, I-!
I snapped out of my thoughts when I felt a pair of lips on me. But not on my own lips, however.
Damien had placed a kiss on my forehead, making our heads touch subsequently.
"You'll do nicely, my little kitty."
Something clocked in at that moment.
I snapped.
I pulled my head back, then forward again to headbutt Damien. He stumbled back, holding his forehead.
"You little-! I thought you loved me!" He boomed, hissing in pain.
I took the opportunity to run to the door, dashing out and closing the door behind me to buy me some time.
I ran as fast as I could, breaking through the glass door. Shards of glass scattered and littered the floor as a few sunk into my skin.
It hurt so bad, but once I saw that look on Damien's face, I could care less about the glass. What he would do to me is what I feared the most.
I stumbled to my feet, running towards the villa. My stamina ran out quickly, the jabs of pain in my abdomen became almost unbearable.
I finally saw the villa in the distance, thanking Irene subconsciously. I looked behind me, Damien pushing past people rudely as his eyes glowed with anger and pure frustration.
I ran inside, slamming the door shut and locking it close. Damien arrived seconds later, banging on the door as his muffled yells couldn't even be heard.
The commotion caused everyone to see what was going on.
I backed up slowly, my body shaking in fear as the adrenaline wore off.
"Kawaii~Chan!" A voice boomed behind me. I turned around to lock eyes with Aphmau.
And Zane's.
. . .
Zane
I stood there, shocked above all else. I couldn't move once I saw Nana stand there; her body shaking as glass splinters decorated from her forearm to her shoulder.
I looked over to see Damien banging on the door, furiously trying to get inside. That green glow in his eyes sent a chilling thought through my mind.
Out of the blue, Aphmau rushed past me, calling out to her in panic. She grabbed her arm as Nana looked back at Damien, then to Aphmau.
She gasped, turning to me subsequently.
"Zane, go get Aaron! Quick!" She yelled in a panicked tone, ushering Nana to sit down on a nearby couch.
I did as I was told, Aaron following me down the stairs to help hold Damien down.
I rushed over to Nana, helping her up the stairs to his bedroom so he can help patch her up.
The last thing I heard was the commotion going on behind them, Damien's screams of restraint like music to my ears.
. . .
Nana hissed in pain as the last tiny piece of glass was pulled from her arm. I hated to see how many had piled up on the bedside table.
They were pricked with her blood, many of the holes the shards left behind blood droplets on her skin. A few had already formed scabs on his skin.
"I hate seeing you like this.." I mumbled, placing the tweezers beside the pile of glass. "What he did to you makes me want to-"
"Zane, please." She said hoarsely. "It's just nice to be with you again."
I sighed. Nana's eyes were a little more dull than they were before. Those pale yellow orbs staring back at me as she managed a weak smile.
I smiled back, but those eyes...
I could see the things she's been through...
...
Ah yes, hello.
My apologies for the semi-cliffhanger.
Buut...
