"Please don't do this Dove." I plead. "I'll do anything you want, please don't hurt me."
Am still too young to die.
Aside from a kiss from Mate, I've not done anything intimate with him. Not only that, but I've had no chance of attending university like I've always dreamed of.
I've not had the chance to look for the parents that abandoned me when I was born. I still have more things to do, and that makes it impossible for me to die.
I can't die now, at least untill I've done all I've written on my bucket list.
"Anything? It's easy then. I want you to die. With you gone, things will go back to normal.
Mate will only have to mourn for you for less than a year, then he goes back to being the Mate he was when it was still us."
" I'll leave. I'll find a place to go to, I won't disturb you at all. I'll go to a far away place where you won't ever find me."
" That's not an option Laty. I can't allow you stay alive, there's a possibility of the two of you meeting each other should I do so."
" Please." I feel the tears slipping from my eyes.
" Please?" Dove laughs. "Nothing can save you from me. I've already decided on what to do. No amount of pleading can make me do anything less of it."
" And what if I tell you I can help you in getting him should you leave me alive?"
" No. I can't. You already know my plans, there's nothing for you to help me with. All I need to do is take you out of the picture, and things will be as I want." He takes the whip.
Seeing how determined he is, I take a very deep breathe.
" Then make it quick." I close my eyes. "Just do it and get it done."
There's no need for him to keep delaying the inevitable. Things have already escalated to the point my death is something am pleading to have it done quickly.
"Then it won't be interesting. I don't kill my victims quickly, I draw out the torture for as long as it'll take me to achieve satisfaction." He smirks. "Am sorry love, but I can't make your death any faster than it should be."
"Please. Let this be one of the things you do for me. Please kill me now. Please make it quick, stop drawing it out."
Had it not being for the fact he had me tied to the pillar, I would have knelt on the floor. I would have knelt to beg him to make my death more easy and bearable.
"Am sorry." He place the whip on my neck, slowly caressing my body with it.
I shiver at the sensation, my heart lurching into my throat.
"What... what....what are doing?" I shiver in fear. Looking at the rope, I deeply swallow.
" What do you think am doing?" He smirks.
" Please." I beg for more times than I've done in my entire life.
Right now I feel more helpless than I felt when I was raped. Being tied and tortured isn't the way I envisioned my death to be.
Truth be told, I've never envisioned my death.
I mean, who in this world have envisioned their death before?
Not me, I tell you.
No one wants to see their death play out in front of them, not even those that commits suicide.
I bet they all have their eyes closed at their last moment, only a few psychos will be happy as the life is leaving them.
"That word won't do a dine for you Lat. Just save it for the grim reaper you might meet at the other side."
He leans down as if he wants to relay a private message. "A word of advice, never look into his eyes. The grim reaper can be quite feisty at times." Smiling to himself, he rose to his full height.
"You don't want to do this Dove. You really don't want to hurt me. You might think you do, but I know you don't." I said in a bid to get him to reconsider, but he just laughed.
"Oh my God." Placing his hand under his stomach, he gives me a look before he broke out in laughter. "This is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Of course I mean it love.
If am not sure of what am doing, I won't be here. " Bending to make us both on the same level, he lightly touch my jaw. " Killing you is something I'll do consciously. Not only will I love to have your body in pieces, I'll love to watch the life leave you. This way, I'll know I've got no competition when it comes to Mate."
Even if I die, you'll still have a competition, and that will be guilt.
These I thought, but I didn't make him aware of my thoughts.
" What if Mate is to find out?" I try to make use of Mate's name. Who knows, he might let me go should I continue on with playing the Mate's card.
"He won't find out. You know the reason why I work alone?
So no one will be privy to informations I want to keep hidden." Picking up the whip, he stands to his full height.
"Mate will surely come to rescue me." I said in a voice that sounds sure of what am saying, but of a truth, am not even sure of what am saying.
Had it being possible for Mate to rescue me, he would have done so since. He wouldn't have wasted time as it is.
Dove laughed at my words. "I don't think a drugged person can be able to rescue you." He says before I felt the whip on my body.
Screaming in pain, I tried to wriggle, but the ropes holding me to the pillar made it impossible for me to do so.
Without warning, he gave me the second lash, the third and fourth following in quick successions as I cried my lungs out.
The more I cry, the more his flogs became much, my Pleas getting lost in tears.
