World Book Day

So I had to write a short story, at least 500 words for WBD. So I did #ToxicJack :3 JackToxicEye above btw :) ^

I see his eyes. One septic green, hanging out of its socket. The other an electric blue, rimmed with red. I hear the rasping scrape of his scaly tail as it dragged itself along the ground, curling round the back of my clothes, pressing the cold material of my jeans against my skin. My heart pounds as he steps closer, his body pressing up against mine, his own heart throbbing against mine. Adrenaline courses through me, making me shake as his fingers entwine with mine, his talons digging into me. "Are you afraid of me Jack?" I gulp, my breathing quickening as he tilts his head, a small, flirty smile creeping across his face indiscreetly. There's a rustle as his leather wings unfold from his back, unfurling like umbrellas to their full extent before curling round me, almost as if embracing me, or caging me in. His eye twitches as I try to back away, his tail twisting round my legs, the rough scales tightening and relaxing as the muscles flexed beneath. He grins, slipping his cold arms round me. I shudder, trying to pull away. "No Jack. There's no escape for you now. You made your decision." I narrow my eyes. "You didn't give me a CHOICE. You nearly KILLED Mark! My best friend! You KNEW how much me meant to me, yet you would've slaughtered him right before my very eyes!" My high pitched irish accent bounces off the walls as my adversary smiles maliciously. "Indeed I would've. I would do ANYTHING to make you mine." I growl. "What have you DONE with Mark?" He blinks, his acid eye stays wide open, staring at me, blood dripping from the torn socket beneath it, empty blackness behind it. "Oh he's FINE. I didn't hurt him at all." My fear turns to anger, an animal clawing at my insides, screaming for revenge. "Your-your LYING TO ME!" He snarls, muscles tensing as his talons dug into my waist, drawing blood. I'm too angry to care though. "Why would I LIE to you Jack? I have nothing more to gain!" I push him away, yelping as his claws rake through me as I do so. I trip over his tail though and hit the ground, the damp coldness seeping into my hot flesh. He stands above me, his face contorted in anger and hurt. "I LOVE you Jack, I always HAVE done, yet you insist upon always pushing me away, telling me NO!" Tears well up in his good eye. "WHY? Why must you HURT me so?" His voice breaks at the end and he looks away, inhaling sharply. I stand up shakily, guilt washing over me. "I-I'm sorry...I just, don't understand why you hurt me and my friends..." He sniffs. "I was trying to get your attention. You always ignored me." I sighed. "I'm sorry." He sighs. "I-it's fine." I step towards him, grasping his hand in mine. "I won't leave you again. I promise." He smiles. "Thankyou."
