Space in between us
He looked at my hands for a whole minute, slapping it away like it was filth.
“I don’t want to see you around me” he said, looking me up and down. “If I even as much as breathe the same air as you, then you’re swear I would end your life just as swiftly as you ended my brothers life that night” he said. His gaze darkening as he said that.
I opened my mouth as I bowed my head, an attempt to apologize but then he left. The anger radiating off of him in waves.
I let out a breath “I am truly sorry for that day” I said, my voice coming out in a soft whisper.
In that moment, I hated myself. I hated what my father turned me into, but I sighed.
There was absolutely no use crying over spoilt milk.’ I thought to myself, deciding that it was just best to leave it.
I sat back on the floor, thinking it was going to be like the past three days where I sat alone, in the dark. But before I could take in another breath, the door burst open.
He was tall, almost the height of Darius but slightly shorter his tanned skin that showed that he was an outdoorsy type of person while still having his light glow.
“You must be the new one” he said. His voice smooth. And it must have been the mate effect, but he did not not have that velvety tone to his voice but he still sounded nice all the same.
I looked at him, not saying anything because honestly, I did not know what to say.
His tall figure and slightly slithered eyes he tried to hide told me that he was a dragon. “That…” I said, standing to my feet. It took everything in me to not fall as I had barely used my legs and adrenaline was still pumping through my veins from my encounter with Darius. “… that can’t be” I said, looking at him like I had seen a ghost.
Darius was meant to be the last dragon. At least that was what we were meant to know from our findings
“What can’t be love?” He said, looking at me in a way that made my body crawl. He walked, circling me like a predator.
“You are a dragon” my voice came out in a tremble.
“And you are a human” he said as though he was talking to a child. “Is there anything you want to state again?” He said, his eyes going to my bare legs.
I rested my weight on my other leg, trying to get out of his gaze, but his eyes followed.
“I am not one to share, but I have to say” he started, covering the distance between us a bit. “Those legs…” he took another step, covering more distance.
In a room that was barely spacious before, he was a few inches away from invading my personal space and my body was crawling mostly with fear and disgust. “…I” he said, fanning me with his breath. I had to do everything within my power to hold myself, clenching my fist so that I did not do anything that would make me regret later “love it.. placed on my shoulders while you…” I lost it.
My fisted hands flew before the could even think about it. Smacking his head to the side with so much force that I was sure I heard a smack.
“I may be a weak human to you” I said, side stepping so that there could be a little more space between us. “But one thing you will not do, Is treat me like I am one of your little sluts” I spat in his face, making sure that I got every bit of the words I spoke across that I meant it.
He looked at me for a minute. His face showing that he was too stunned to speak, but I did not care
Then he laughed. It was a little chuckle at first, then a full ass laughter. I looked at him a bit confused. There was nothing funny in what just happened.
“You know we wild dragons stay away from humans so much, that I almost forgot what it’s like to be one of you” he said, flicking away a fake tear.
“Listen here Bambi”
“Mika” I corrected, even though my heart was racing faster than I could explain.
“What?” He looked genuinely confused for a second.
“My name is Mika” I snarled, trying to act brave.
“Oh…” he said, giving a sly smile. “Very well then… Mika” you could hear the movie in his voice, but I said nothing, letting it slide.
He looked at me, before pulling me by my hair in a swift moment. “I don’t know who you think you are, or what importance you are of” I grunted, trying to pull away from his grasp but it was painful. I screamed for help, begging anyone that could hear to come save me from the bastard.
“But you are nothing but a breeding horse for Darius when he is ready. And until then? You are nothing but my play thing” he whispered into my ear, making me want to punch him in the guts “and there is nothing you can do about it, because the only person that can save you? He does not want you”
Something like cold realization washed down my body. I did not have a family anymore, neither did I have anyone looking out for me.
“F…fu…” the pain from where he grabbed my hair made it almost impossible to speak, but I didn’t care “fuck you” I grounded my teeth as I spoke.
“Oh darling, after Darius is done taking the first bite, be certain that I would come for mine” I visibly recoiled at that, my face scrunching up in displeasure as he said that, so I didn’t the only thing I could do.
I spat on his face, causing his grip on my to loosen “disgusting”…
