~Mia POV~
"Why couldn't you be a good girl Honey Bear?" he asked through gritted teeth, anger and disappointment surging through his words
"I am not your Honey Bear!" I snapped and he slapped me across the face, only making my anger uncontainable.
"You are a sick, psychopathic, jackass" I spat and he glared down at me as if I'd stabbed him in the heart.
"After everything I've done for you, for us?" His eyes became hard and lifeless and my eyes widened in horror waiting for his next move but he just stood.
I looked up at him confusedly as he let his hair loose and cracked the bones in his neck. He was going to kill me. I searched my mind for an escape as he looked down on me with death in his eyes.
"What have you done for us?" I half yelled as he was about to pick me up and he scanned my frightened face. "Maybe if I know we can be together, like you want?" I pleaded and he weighed his options. After a thoughtful second he nodded and I braced myself up, giving him my undivided attention, giving whatever I needed to survive.
"I'll start from the beginning" he spoke calmly, watching my every move and I swallowed my emotions, trying to keep a level head
"It was the day you helped Mitchel" He began and I searched my mind, trying to remember the day but couldn't quite.
"Do you remember?"
I nodded frantically, knowing that if I didn't, I was sealing my fate with death.
"You smiled at me and I knew, I just knew we'd have a long, happy life together"
I cringed. This was all because of a stupid smile. That's what got him off? My stupid smile! I should just throw my face away.
He ruffled his hair and took a deep breath "My mother" he spoke with a hint of bitterness "My mother discovered that I got out"
"Got out from where Caleb?" I asked instinctively
"So I killed her." he smiled, his eyes twinkling with glee
The air around me thickened and the heat from the tightened space became intolerable. I couldn't catch my breath. Caleb killed his mother. He killed Miss Ven and I had a date with him, I kissed him, I played with him, I was his friend!
He paced the floor "I knew if she was alive, I couldn't be with you. I had to eliminate her. And as if pleased with my actions fate sent that girl I hired at the restaurant to burn your house down. It caught hers on fire too, destroying all the evidence of murder. It was like destiny had smiled upon us and given us her blessings"
He paused to look at me "I mean, you had to pay for letting Ray into our house" He snapped and my chest stiffened, each word squeezing the struggling life from my heart. Our house? I knew it! I knew someone was breaking into my house. I knew someone was watching me.
"In the end, you were okay." He chuckled "I knew you would be because we were meant to be together. Eventually I realized your friends would get between us and I had to get rid of them. For us"
"For us?" I asked burning tears spilling through my tear ducks. I was so sad and infuriated, I couldn't contain it. "You killed Vanessa for us?"
He nodded, looking at me in frustration "Why are you crying Honey Bear?"
"O no. These are just tears of joy" I struggled to my shaking feet. I walked up to him and wrapped my hands around his neck. He smiled, placing his hands around my waist.
"Honey" I forced a smile "I'm just so happy that I can do…" I leaned into him, and he scanned my face, coming closer as well. I could feel his breath fanning my nostrils, his hands clinging to my waist firmly and his body relaxing from my touch.
"This" I riled kneeing him in the shaft. He grunted falling onto his knees in agony and I smirked in satisfaction.
"That's for Miss Ven" I mumbled, punching him across his face "That's for Aleecia"
"And this" I jumped kicked him in the face and watched as he fell helplessly to the ground. "That's for Ray" I whispered, wiping the tears from my eyes as my body relaxed at the sight of his limp, harmless body on the floor. I looked towards the door, having no idea what do or where to go from here. I let a terrified breath go. In the end anywhere was better than here. I attempted to make my way towards the door but something hitched my leg. I looked around to see what it was. I screamed internally, wondering if this guy was made of iron.
He was on a knee and I couldn't release my foot from his grip.
"You stupid bitch." he spat, thick red blood gushing from his lip. "If I can't have you, no one else will" He snapped and I gasped as he lifted my feet, sending me crashing to the ground. My head collided with the tough boarded floor sending agonizing pain from my head and throughout my body. I grunted as the throbbing in my head became so loud my surrounding became faint and nearly inaudible.
It had happened too fast for me to react.
I tried getting up but fell into an excruciating lump. He hovered over me, kicking me in the abdomen and I groaned as pain crawled throughout my body. He stooped, wrapping his strong hands around my neck and squeezing lightly. I tried to push him off, without luck.
His grip became tighter and tighter, slowly locking off my air supply.
"First, I'm going to kill you" he stated harshly, constricting his clasp "Then your helpless little friend, Aleecia" he squeezed harder "Then, after I've made Ray beg for his life. I'm going to cut him into small little pieces and feed him to dogs" he muttered but I couldn't focus, I couldn't do anything, my head felt as if it was going to pop. The air around me became rigid and all I wanted to remember was the last thing I said or did but all I could think about was how I couldn't breathe.
Until, I couldn't think at all.
