He falls harshly on his bum.
"What was that for!? " he questions.
"Why are you so mean!? The one minute you're sweet as honey and the next you're as sour as lime!" I scream at him
"You do have a talent you need to recognize! You're good at hurting people. Why didn't you stop when you heard me call!? " I add and he just stares at me.
"You only stopped when you got me hurt. That was what you wanted right!? " I add. Tears rolling down my face and my knee bleeding as he rises to his feet.
He makes to touch me and I warn him against it.
"Don't touch me! "
He pauses for a second but still proceeds and lifts me into the air bridal style.
"Put me down! " I struggle taking care not to further irritate my sore knee. Desmond ignores my little tantrum and carries me till we get into his cabin. He places me on the ta
We make it out of my cabin after I put off all the candles and Deborah and I begin our trip to the West swap which is on the other side of the mansion and a little bit in the woods. After saving Deborah from a lot of falls, I lose my patience and carry her bridal style in my arms. Her tiny fingers wrap behind my neck and she doesn't struggle nor complain. I look down at her and I find her gaze keen on me. "What is it? " I question. "Nothing" she replies as she looks away. A few seconds later I feel her head rest on my chest. We are almost at the west swamp and my arms are almost tired but I won't put her down. I don't want to lose the warmth her body provides and seeing her so in need of my help makes me feel like a better person than I am. Especially when her needs are ones I could provide. "I think I could walk now. " her tender voice inte
"Really, who is it? " Deborah questions."Oh don't worry gingerbread. It's not you" I say to Deborah and her face turns bright red.Her facial expression a mixture of annoyance and embarrassment. A true sight to see!She folds her hands in anger and stares out the window while Dana and Timothy try their very best to stifle their laughter.I still have my gaze on Deborah when Dana cut me."So who is this person? " she asks."Ekene" I reply and they both raise their brows."Is he Chinese?" Timothy asks and I exhale to avoid laughing."No. Ekene is a Nigerian. He is very smart, quiet, and observant.He proves Nigerians to be very intelligent people. " I reply."Cool, sure we can trust him? "Dana questions."I'd find out.
"Just breathe" he whispers into my ear as he drags me away from the battered body.I crash to the ground in his arms and I hold onto his shirt as I bury my face in it."I'm a monster. " I cry."They've made me a killer. I'm a killing machine. ", I cry out in pain and regret. Ever since I've got here, all I've done is change from WHO I was to WHAT I have become."You're not a killer Deborah! "Desmond scolds but I can't stop my tears. I've become a monster. I've taken another life and in yet another gruesome manner."I am... " I cry as I scream in agony.Desmonds POV;...The Fratello had left Deborah to silence me and had begun clawing my chest. Suddenly I hear someone scream and in the same second, the Fratello falls off me.I find a huge log I never knew Deborah had the strength to lift in her hand
"How dare you!?" she screams at me as soon I am before her and with that question comes a slap to my face. "Who amongst you killed a Fratello!? " she screams and all four of us fall silent. "So you were there and couldn't stop it from happening!? " she screams again throwing another slap at me. "Tell me who did it! " she screams grabbing my throat. "I did! " I hear Deborah's voice break the silence and a few gasps and murmurs are heard from the crowd. Madre turns to the crowd in anger and everyone falls silent. "You did. "Madre says turning her attention to Deborah. "Why? " she questions coldly as she stands before Deborah and Deborah falls silent. "I said why!? "Madres screams as she plants her talon nails on Deborah's throat.
I take a walk in the isolated passageway with my hands in my trouser pockets and still in Desmond's shirt. I stop at a window and stare at the moon. I recall when Jason made me believe my name was carved on the moon while I was younger.He said the moon was our little communication portal and no matter where I was if I stared at the moon and Remember him, then it means he's doing the same. So if I ever got lost, I should look up at the moon and know we'd always find our way back to each other.A bitter chuckle escapes my lips as I recall my sweet home. I bite my upper lip as I ponder on what my life has slowly played into. Desmond invades my thoughts and my sadness heightens.After what Harry did to me, how on earth could I afford to fall for someone else!? Desmond is too calm, observant, wonderful, and just too perfect to fall for someone like me.How on earth c
"Sonia! "She screams."Fine! Fine, I'd tell him! "I scream in surrender. ~yeah right, like she'd know if I don't."Sweetheart. I'm not a learner in this field. I'd know if you don't tell him and baby, I won't tell you know when I'm gonna tell him myself. "She says and my jaw drops."I give you till the end of today. "She says before walking off and leaving me on the bench. I look up and find Desmond sitting afar with his head rolled back and eyes closed.~oh, Desmond, you'd reject me if I tell you and I'd die of embarrassment if Gabby tells. That girl is crazy enough to tell you how stupid I act because of you!He suddenly brings his head down and opens his eyes. He catches me staring at him and I remain frozen for a few seconds before I quickly look away. I stand up and walk off with embarrassment chewing my cheeks.It's night and I a
"I'm in love with you Desmond" she mutters and my heart bursts. Excitement, joy, and a ton of other emotions flush through me. "C. Come again? "I question as I'm not sure I heard right. "I'm... I'm... I'm in love with you Desmond. "She repeats and I pull her into a hug. These are words I've been dying to hear but all the same, never knew I'd been. Then it hits me. ×what are you doing Desmond!? If you give into this, you could be the reason Deborah would have to lose her life! I quickly pull away from her. "I'm... I'm sorry but. I don't think we should do this. We. We can't be more than mates. " I reply as I stare into her face and instantly the light of hope in her eyes vanish. Her jaw drops and she stares at me like I just stabbed her in the stomach. "Deborah... "I make to speak as I try to grab h
Gabby loses the strength and anger she felt earlier on her way here and her intention to scream some sense into Desmond vanishes into thin air. Seeing him in this state of pain and helplessness makes her wish she could help him or at least attend to his busted knuckles but she knows better than to approach Desmond when he's like this. Else his knuckles won't be the only things out of place but her jaw would join the limbo line too. This sight makes her know Desmond sure has feelings for Sonia but if she knows Sonia as well as she thinks she does, she also knows what Desmond did today would make Sonia see him in a different light. What he did would push Sonia as far away as possible for him. She has to do something if not the dear ship she's been pushing would sink to rock bottom. °°° Gabby walks into the female hall after changing her drenched clothes and finds Tori
