The Devil Of The Night
1888 Words
I waited for him to come home.I was alone the whole day in such a big house.I roamed around and studied the whole house and I tried to understand his lifestyle.It was 6 pm and I was quite sleepy by that time but I didn't know where to sleep.I lied down on the couch and then fell asleep.
I woke up by the feeling of someone's touch.I opened my eyes just to see Alan Braxton sitting in front of me and caressing my cheeks.He looks so devilishly handsome.No woman could refuse his charms.He was unique.
"Why do you want to stay with me?" He asked with a demonic smile on his face.
"I--I want to,I just want to."
"You better think about it.I am gonna give you another da-" He was saying but I cut him off.
"I don't need another day.I thought about it all day and yes,I want to stay with you."
"As you've made up your mind,it's good but remember there is no going back." He said as he got up from the couch.
''Why did you keep me alive?" I said loudly from the behind.
He turned around slowly and faced me.The room was dark so I could not see his eyes but his lips only.His head was bent down but I felt his eyes checking me out.He came closer to me.Closer and closer.Touching my cheeks,his hands went from my neck,then to my chest and finally he was about to touch me but I grabbed his hands and shook in fear.
"You still want to stay with me,little girl?" He asked with a crooked smile on his face.
"There is no going back." I whispered as I looked down on the ground in order to avoid eye contact with him.
"Good girl." He said as he leaned forward again.
"The reason why I didn't kill you is because I trusted you."
"How could you trust me? You barely know me!" I protested.
"Oh you have no idea,baby girl.I have experienced all sorts of people.I know who to trust and who to not."
"You can trust me,I will never turn you in." I whispered.
"And I kept you alive is so that you can..." He leaned closer to me,giving me no space to retreat.I fell on the couch and he was on me.
"So that you can fulfill my desires." He whispered as his lips moved around my neck and in no time he started sucking the skin on my neck and I could feel his hot breath run through my neck.
"You like it,huh?" He said as he smiled again but this time more dangerously.
"Please don't." I said as my voice shivered.
"Be prepared next time." He said as I watched him leave with a black bag,which was maybe full of his murderous equipments.
The question was where did he hide it and what did he do with his victims?
Does he kill people everyday? He seems like a gentleman to me but what was his mysteries?
I felt incomplete in his absence.I always saw him on the newspaper and the television news but I never felt anything for him until tonight.He was affecting me.
Time passed by quicker than I expected.I was almost 3 in the morning.I was sitting in the living room in front of the glass.One side of the room was fully made of glass instead of walls or a balcony.
I jumped in fear when I heard the aggressive footsteps.I stood up and saw Alan tear his shirt and threw it.He was screaming like a monster and he was breathing very violently.I ran to him and held his chest.My other hand was on his head.He was all sweaty and that moment,I saw his shirtless figure.He had a bronze skin which was shining due to his sweat.I could not take my eyes off his six-packs and stiffed biceps.
"Stay away!" He screamed as he pushed me so hard that resulted me falling on the ground and hit my head.
"Ahh!" I screamed as I cried.
"Don't try to help me,you better stay away from me or it won't end well for you!" He screamed at me.At that moment,I could see my visions blurring and I fainted.
The next day I woke up in Alan's bed again.I felt Alan massaging my head with an ice bag.
"Ah!" I groaned slowly as I got up.I saw Alan and I froze in fear.I looked down to hide my fear from him.
"I know you are afraid.I am a monster at night and you are an innocent young girl who deserves to live a happy,cheerful life.This is the reason why I want you to go." He said calmly.He was nothing like the person I saw last night but rather the kindest person.
He saw me silent so he spoke again.
"Tell me your address and I will drop you there.Is that okay with you?" He asked as he held my thin hands with his warm palms.
I got a little bit of courage and spoke up,"You don't have to be the person you become at night.You don't have to murder people everyday,you can change." I said with a broken voice.
"You can't understand.The devil can't change and so can't I."
"But--but you are not the devil.From what I see is a lonely person who needs help." I said.
"No,I don't need help.Killing people is my passion.It's like a drug but more addictive."
"Then I am willing to stay by your side.I don't care if you tie me to the bed and torture me till I die or inject me to drugs or even murder me like you do to other people.I'd rather be killed by your hands than walking another step without you."
He looked at me silently and said nothing.He kept looking at me for a very long time.I looked down because I was blushing.
"Stacey." He whispered as his held my chin and lifted my face to face him.
He came closer to me and he kissed me with those warm,luscious lips.I kissed him back and his tongue was moving freely in my mouth.I stroke his hair with my hands and he carried me onto his lap.We were engaged in the most fierce kiss ever.His lips were so soft and hot.His lips licked my lips and then my tongue.It was like he was devouring me with his one kiss.
Then,his lips moved to my neck and he started sucking every possible place.He laid me on the bed and he opened my clothes.Then,he skillfully opened my bra and started sucking on my chest,I was feeling very shy as an inexperienced person so I covered my breasts with my hand.
"There is no hiding,babygirl." He whispered into my ears as he moved my hands from my chest and squeezed them.
''Ah." I moaned in pleasure.
I looked on my chest and saw a few brownish mark.
"What is this?'' I said as I pushed him away.
"It's just a hickey,it will go away in a few days.Calm down." He said as he tucked a piece of hair behind my ear.His hands never left my body.
I grabbed my dress and put them on immediately.
"What are you so afraid of?" He asked as he hugged me from behind.
''I don't want to fall in love with you." I said and for some reason tears filled up my eyes.
"It's okay,I don't or won't love you anyways.I told you if you stay here,you will fulfill my desires every day and night."
I shouldn't feel like this but what he said made my heart stopped.I felt terrible when he said he didn't love me.
"Oh girl,you are already in love with me.I should have seen that coming." He said.He was hugging me from the behind and his chin was on my shoulders.
I turned to him and held his face,''I am unsure of what I am feeling right now but I do have feelings for you,I--" He cut me off.
"You can love me but don't expect anything in return so it's better for you to leave before you fall in deeper."
He released me from his embrace and went in front of the closet to pick up a suit.He suited up and I felt horrible about everything that happened this morning.
Just as he was about to exit,I grabbed his wrists from the back saying,''If you let me go,you will never find someone else who will love you and will accept this side of you."
"Just get it over with Stacey!'' He said like he didn't even care.Well,truth be told he doesn't care.I mean why in hell would he?
Days passed by in the same way every night.
However it was just another normal day.That day was long,lengthy and sorrowful.I kept waiting for him to come home but he didn't.Maybe he wanted me to leave that's why he wasn't returning.
I turned on the television and wandered in Netflix when something good came in my view.The television series named 'Lucifer'.It was my favorite so I brought some butterscotch ice-cream from the fridge,took out some bag of chips and started watching.Time passed by and I finished almost two seasons.It felt so good to re-watch my favorite series.It was almost midnight and I felt asleep on the couch again.I woke up by the exact same noise,the dangerous noise of the aggressive footsteps.I got up and saw him.My heart stopped in fear and I closed my eyes to avoid it.
He was banging on the floor with his hands and was laughing demonically.
"Dare to defy me,I will show you what punishment truly means!" He screamed and kept laughing loudly.
I got up and walked slowly towards him.He was sitting on his knees and his face was drenched in tears.
He was crying.
"Alan,please get up.It's gonna be fine.Every thing is fine."
"Leave,leave,leave!" He screamed loudly again.
"Alan,Alan!" I burst into tears after seeing him in such a condition.He was behaving worse today.He was behaving like hell.
"What happened to you Alan? You can tell me.Please tell me.Please let me in." I cried as I held his face with my palms.
''I--I killed my mother." He whispered as he broke down.
"What!" I was devastated upon hearing this.
"I am a monster!I am a monster!" He kept screaming as he was banging his head with his hands.
I grabbed his hands and screamed,"Alan!Look at me."
He went silent and looked up at me."You are not a monster."
"Yes,I am!"
"Not to me,Alan,not to me." I said and he looked at me like a little baby looking for shelter.His eyes and lips were red.
I stood on my knees and embraced him.He pressed his head deeper into my chest and cried his heart out.That moment I knew that how vulnerable he was.
I took him to the bedroom and changed his clothes.After that,I gave him some food and sleeping pills.I lied down beside him and hugged me like the entire world was against him and I was everything he could rely on.This is the reason why I won't ever leave him.He might say that he doesn't love me but deep down,he loves me even more than I love him.
"Don't let them get me." He whispered slowly.
"I will never.You are safe.You will win." I said as I put a soft kiss on his cheeks.
"I can't protect you from the monster I become at night." He said and dozed off.
Those words shook me to my core.I was afraid of him but I wanted to stay with him,there was a high possibility that he would injure me but I still wanted him to control me and dominate me.
I knew sooner or later he will be tired of me and will tell me to leave seriously but I still loved him.
