Chereads / The Touch of Hades / Chapter 2 - Uneasy

Chapter 2 - Uneasy

A small gathering she said, 'not a lot of people ' she had made me believe. Whereas there are tons of people here! "Madi, you said a small party at the downside club…" My voice itched as I stared at the party people.

"It is small, this is small compared to the ones I am usually invited to. You would know that if you actually go out" she mumbled the last part to herself but I heard it. And I gritted my teeth, I was starting to hate letting myself come out to the open.

Not that I look weird or anything, if anything I look the best. I know that much. Madison did a great job in selecting the right outfit, a sleeveless red jumpsuit that clung to my shape nicely. She knew of my sudden addiction to gloves, that was why she got something to match… And so I won't embarrass her of course.

Madison walks over to a man that was already making his way towards us, and they hugged. I couldn't help but walk behind her putting on my best 'do not speak talk to me' face. It wasn't that much of a hassle, my face naturally has a resting bitch face, one that I've grown to love.

I clench and unclench my fist, as I stare down at my small hands, which were enclosed in my only protection from the world. I have forced myself to disappear from my foster parents life just to create a new one for myself. Over the past months, I had tried to master the art of using gloves. I have moved to and out of four different houses for making a slight mistake… Well from touching things.

It all started on my birthday. I was celebrating with Madison at home. We drank wine, Madi was drunk as hell but it would take more than a bottle to get me tipsy. Madison had just gone to throw up, while I was still drinking my ass off. Her phone started to ring, I moved over to pick it up, and once I held it, the phone melted before turning to ash and crumbling in my hand. I didn't panic at first, I just thought the alcohol was starting to kick in making me see things, but the light that emanated from my touch made me jerk up stumbling on the couch. I had unknowingly touched it too, it wasn't long before I landed on the ground with a loud thud. Everything I touched burned and turned to dust that night. Thankfully Madison passed out in the toilet. So she didn't witness it happen, and I was so afraid… I still am. I'm scared of telling her, because I fear she would consider me a freak and I can't lose my only friend, I need her.

Madison stopped talking to the stranger and turned to me smiling from ear to ear, I was glad she did not bother introducing him to me.

"Having fun?" She questions before playfully tugging me on my waist with her elbow.

"No I don't think I am." I told her truthfully.

"Relax, we just got here." She cooed and I smiled, suppressing the urge to say 'Oh and I think I want to leave already.'

"Hello ladies," A voice calls from behind. I didn't bother turning and Madison was so engrossed in blabbing about a wine she had always wanted to taste, she didn't hear him call out to us. The man came to stand in between us, and I gave him the look, the 'Go away' look but he obviously didn't understand that look which was why he proceeded to say

"I said hello ladies" again… Like he was sure we didn't hear him the first time.

Madison muttered a "Hi?" not sure of what to say. He was about to say something I cared less to listen to, so I cut him off.

"We are having a conversation."

"Well then, I don't mind joining."

"You're a stranger… We don't know you or want to"

"Well everyone's a stranger till you get to know them" he grinned

"Pinch yourself to be sure you aren't dreaming."

"Why?"

"Cause only dreams gives such possibilities now fuck off."

I turned to Madison who has been darting her eyes from the man to myself.

"You want to get that wine now?" I raised a question.

"Yes." I took her hand and we started walking to a different arena. The music was buzzing and people were dancing in this arena. I nodded my head to the song that was playing and Madison tugged on my waist yet again.

"See? Told you that you'd love it."

And I chuckled.

"I haven't started drinking yet and I'm already feeling constipated, can you point me to the rest room?" I asked her and she pointed at a door across the room.

"Go inside and walk straight down. You'll see another door, that's it."

"Wait for me here." I informed her before I started making my way in the direction she pointed to me.

I made my way past the sweaty bodies, dancing and grinding amongst themselves.

I continued to walk down to the door while silently humming the song playing to myself. I couldn't remember where I heard this one. But I loved it.

I opened the door to go in and suddenly an arm wrapped around my arm dragging me inside, I widened my eyes as the muscular hand pulled me inside and locked the door behind me. I opened my mouth to let out a cry for help but the masculine hands clamped over my mouth. I struggled against the person, my cries coming out muffled because of his obtrusive hands.

The man groaned when I jabbed my elbow into his stomach, but he didn't loosen his grip on me. He simply wrapped his arm around my waist and carried me to the counter in the room, a place where I assume people wash their hands after using the rest room. He gently dropped me on the counter and I turned to him aggressively to see who my abuser was, and funny enough, it was the man from earlier.

I let out a curt laugh in mockery, "I mean I know I am quite the catch, but you being persistent on chasing me after bluntly ignoring you is a shame and a bruise to your ego wouldn't you agree?"

"You think you are something right? Talking to me in front of everyone in that manner, do you know who I am?" he thunders as he grabbed my wrist, I felt my gloves pull out from my palm a little and it made me shudder.

'He can't touch me' I panicked.

I quickly think of a possible way to handle this.

"I am sorry. If you let me go now I will pretend this never happened, so let go of my hand." I pleaded

He chuckled loudly.

I was afraid of what he would do to me, no, I was afraid of what I might do to him.

"You are in no position to negotiate with me," he spoke, " the only negotiation that will take place is with my dick and your ass hole."

I gasped in shock and slight terror. Not even my vagina?
