Lucifer

Sky's body swiftly moved through the room with a massive smile. She left the room, and I stared at the stairs, trying to process what the hell just happened.

"You do not understand how hard it is to restrain myself from her," I growled as I looked at Mel's dead body.

"You should-"

I flashed in front of Axel and held him by the collar. "Tell me how to do something again, and I'll tear you to pieces, and I promise you'll wish you never tested me," I threatened, towering over him. I saw a hint of fear pass through his eyes. "You may be the closest person to me, but after what happened, torturing you seems like the most innocent thing I can do to you. Don't put in that position, Axel." My voice grew deeper as I could see the image of Sky bent over his bed. I let out a growl trying to control my anger.

He slowly nodded, and I released him. "Clean this shit up," I demanded, referring to the blood and dead body. He stepped out from in front of me and disappeared with Mel's body. Stupid mother fucker is lucky I don't kill him now for taking Sky away from me, and she has no idea how lucky she is that I don't smack the shit out of her. If it was someone else, I would of beat the crap out of them, but she, she was different. I really do still love her, and I wish I had never chased her off. I also wish I had shown her more respect.

She's been through a lot, and to make matters worse, I broke her to the point where she has shut me out along with everyone else. When I saw her casket go down, everything fell into place. I felt as if everything I had worked towards had disappeared. I didn't care about anyone else except her, and when she came into Mel's room shouting surprise, I felt a spark in me knowing she was alive. She was back, and I couldn't be happier. I was shocked at first and had questions, of course, but I was delighted and overwhelmed to see she was alive.

She was not entirely herself, though. When I saw her beat Mel up and dragged her out of that house, I felt a blast of anger coming from her. Then, at the club, I sat on one of the couches and watched her body sway to the music all night long. I was so tempted to hug her and kiss her all at once. I then saw her and Axel dancing and how carefree she was as he danced on him. Her body swayed smoothly yet freely as his hips moved from side to side. I was not too fond of her dress since I saw other men looking at her with lust. It took my all not to rip their heart out. She was mine and ALWAYS will be, even if she didn't know it yet.

I realized how out of touch Sky was with herself when she was playing with the knife in the parking lot with Weston. She was more suicidal than ever. When she looked at me and let Weston toss the knife, I waited a brief second for her to put her forcefield up, but nothing happened. I then waited another half second, and that's when I found out she wasn't going to put one up. When I caught the knife, she didn't even flinch. Drunk Sky has done some wild shit before, but this was different. She wasn't herself anymore.

I sat on the lobby couch and watched as some guys were leaving while others were just getting breakfast. Everyone had already left except Gabe, Sky, and, well, me, of course. I wasn't planning on letting Sky go or be anywhere alone. I was still concerned about her safety.

"Are you sure you don't want me to come?" Sky's voice came behind me from the stairs.

"I'm sure. I need to go before I'm late," Gabe declined her offer. I watched as both of them stood in front of the entrance door. Skylar was wearing black ripped jeans and a blood-red tank top. To top it all off, she wore a black leather jacket. Her hair was also down and in natural curls, and she had no makeup on. She looked beautiful and flawless. Her skin had always looked so soft, and it was. Touching her left like touching water.

"I'll be home in about 3 hours," Gabe said, hugging her. Sky wrapped her hands around him, and a smirk overtook her. My eyebrow rose at her reason behind smirking. She was planning something. I invaded her mind.

Sorry bro but I need to find out what you're hiding.

I opened my mouth to say something but shut it. Let's see how this plan of hers turn out. I watched as they said their goodbyes and the door shut behind Gabe as he left. Sky immediately pulled out her phone and started to frantically type something in. She then looked at the phone and walked right past me into the hallway, ignoring my presence. My fist tightened as she disappeared into a different room.

I hated when she would ignore me. Her scent got further away and I heard some shuffling before a door closed. I rolled my eyes and stood up. I followed her scent down the hall and into the kitchen towards another door. I reached for the knob and turned it only for it to click indicating it was locked.

Retaining myself from kicking the door open, I flashed into the room and saw I was in the garage. I turned to the garage door that was open and saw Skylar driving out in a Range Rover. I shook my head and watched as she sped down the driveway and through the gates. I flashed myself into her car and found myself in the passenger seat.

I felt her tensed up a bit and I enjoyed every second off it. At first, I would be a bit worried if she did. But she disappeared on me for a month, having me thinking she was dead. She and Axel were lucky I didn't actually them for that bullshit stunt. I opened my mouth to say something but I was cut off by the radio. Part of me wanted to break the radio, and the other part just...oh wait, there is no other part.

I angrily turned off the radio and turned to look at her. She reached to turn it on again, and I glared at her, "Put it on again, and I will break your hand," I lied in a threatening tone, failing to control my anger.

She ignored me and reached further for the radio, but this time, I grabbed her wrist and tightened my grip, not enough to break it but to cause her to let out a squeal. "Stop testing me Sky," I growled in a deep voice.

She said nothing, and I felt her tensing up even more. "You want to not break my hand so I could drive," she sassed back. I released her hand and I realized how much of an asshole I am. 

"We're going to establish some rules," I said. Her face lit up in amusement. She opened her mouth to say something, but I cut her off. 

"We either do this my way or the hard way," I demanded.

"The fuck you think this is. Training class?" she scoffed. Well, that's new. I angrily flashed us back into the driveway causing her to slam on the brakes.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" she screamed, turning to look at me.

"You're going to listen, or we can do this all day, and trust me, I have all day," I said in a calm voice. I watched as she debated whether to agree or disagree with me.

Her jawline tightened in anger, "What do you want?" she hissed out. A smirk rose to my face, "That wasn't so hard now, was it?" I asked.

She stayed quiet and turned to look at the driveway in front of her. "Rule number one. You're never allowed to leave or go anywhere without my permission," I stated. I watched as her grip tightened on the steering wheel.

Her thoughts started to echo uncontrollably in my head. Back to controlling me, I see. Nothing new.

"Number two, do not backtalk to me or test me in any way." I felt her anger radiating off of her, and part of me was actually okay with it. It meant she felt something towards me and wasn't shutting me out.

"Lastly, number three. Try to kill me or even escape again; I will put a chain on you," I spoke, causing her to look at me. My eyes blackened, and a smirk rose to my face, "Trust me, it's my job to put chains on people, so imagine how that will work out for you."

She opened her mouth to say something but I cut her off, "No sweetheart. I don't give a fuck if you blocked out all your emotions or how badass you are now. Disrespect me and I'll show you punishment and since you're different like everyone else, you will have a more complex punishment. Try me and see what happens because no matter how hard you scream or how far you run, I will find you, and you will regret whatever you did to get this. I'm fucking done trying to be nice and restraining myself. Frankly you're lucky I don't kill you right now. So please try to piss me off and see what happens," I shouted at her.

I watched as a bit of fear took over her but she just brushed it off. "Would you mind flashing us back to where we were," she gritted her teeth with anger.

The corner of my lips twitched up, "What's the magic word," I chirped.

I watched as her hands tightened on the steering wheel from all the anger she was holding back. "Please," she hissed out. Within a blink, we were back on the highway. Her thoughts echoed again.

Stupid mother fucker. I hate him so much right now. I'm a prisoner in my own home.

Do I feel bad?

A little but my sinister side was enjoying this. I also needed to get the old Sky back and I was going to get her one way or another.
