“You are mine right now, and I’ll have what was promised for all my trouble.” A painful fire erupts right at my pussy, and I don’t need to see it to know something sharp has penetrated me.

“I’m not yours!” I wish my scream was louder, my voice more forceful. I’m just exhausted, so it makes sense. Somethingiswrong. I don’t feel my Demon, but I know it’s there. It’s just… dormant.

“You’re right, unfortunately. You are your mother’s.”

“No…” Tears prick at the edge of my eyes. “I’m no… no one’s but Kai?—”

“Yes, yes,” he sings. “You can’t belong to a dead man, sorry?—”

A high-pitched ringing blares in my head. “Huh?”

I look down at him, and it’s like the world around me is closing in. My heart rate that stays at a normal pace, even under duress, is thrashing and I can feel it against my chest. It physicallyhurts.

He’s saying something, but I’m unable to hear it.

All I hear is church bells.

A blaring alarm is going off in my brain, and I swear my ears are bleeding because they’re on fire.

Dead?

“Who?” I ask.

I disregard the blade he lifts and twirls around near his face. His lips are still moving, and the nonchalance of his demeanor is pissing me off.

I can’t hear him.

“Who…” I say again.

It’s like my brain wasn’t ready to hear anything other than his name, because the moment that Lars says “Kairhyse”, my body freezes.

My heart stops, and I am solely functioning on my brain.

He’s lying…

The world in front of me falls to half-mast, the rest just bleeds together.He isn’t dead. No…

No…

Is that why I can’t feel my Amoro?

It isn’t true… Lars is a liar, but even still, I can’t find the will to fix the beating heart inside of me to start again. It broke, and I have no willpower to put it back together.

As twilight creeps and overtakes the rest of the light, I can only hope that I won’t wake up. I don’t want to face a world without him in it.

He wouldn’t leave me.

He’s obsessed.

He promised to chase me to the ends of the world.

A stalker wouldn’t give up… He wouldn’t die…

Kai…
