Beautiful Monster

Drive Home

enjoy:)

“Travis, slow down,” I croaked my voice sore from screaming and kicking as Travis threw me over his shoulder to his car. He didn’t respond, and just stared ahead with his eyebrows coming together in a tight line. He looked so murderous and was speeding so fast, making the trees and houses pass us by in a blur. I sure didn’t want to be in the papers the next morning for being in an accident.

“Travis, slow the hell down! We’re going to get killed!” I yelled.

His lips twitched and he looked at me with an amused expression but his eyes still held some of the earlier anger. Why was he so angry anyway, I thought he hated me. I still didn’t know why he saved.

“Didn’t know you ever swore, in fact I didn’t know that you had the ability to scream. You always talk so calmly…miss perfect, no wonder Mr. perfect wanted to force himself on you,” he smirked and rolled his eyes but his eyes grew darker at the last sentence.

“I’m not miss perfect and you don’t know a thing about me” I didn’t know why I was defending myself, I mostly let people think that of me but for some stupid unknown reason, I didn’t want him to think about me like that.

“Really you’re not?” he put four fingers over his O- shaped open mouth to feign being shocked.

“I’m not,” I stated stubbornly.

“Okay, let’s look over this together. Perfect outfits, perfect cars even though your driving sucks.

“My driving is great, and the fact that you just said it sucks just proves that I’m not pe-“

“Perfect grades, even though it’s probably always rigged by your parents,” he continued ignoring me making me frown at me.

“It’s not; my parents couldn’t care less about my school work.”

Again, he ignored me. “Perfect parents, perfect behavior… I could go on and on, you see the world through a yellow ray of flowers. Everything gets handed to you; I bet you’ve never had to work for a thing in your life.

I stayed quite thinking about how wrong he was. Looking out the window, I realized they were no houses anymore but just trees going on and on and it was very dark too.

“Travis! You almost drove us out of town, what were you thinking?”

He shrugged not even caring the slightest bit. “Don’t worry; I’m sure your mum will let you off this time for not coming home before your bedtime.”

I snorted and looked out the window again. We drove in silence for some time before I spoke, “why did you save me, I mean you hate me right?”

His shoulders tensed then relaxed after a while. “He fucked my girlfriend against her will, was reported for rape but as usual the police let him go because e of his rich ass parents.” He growled.

“Oh my God, I’m really sorry, I really didn’t know Scott was so cruel.”

“I know, all you were interested in was his money and him being the football captain,” he rolled his eyes.

“That’s not true, why do I even bother explaining myself to you, you already think the worst of me.”

“How do I know those aren’t the best, I haven’t seen the worst of you,” he smirked.

I huffed, folded my arms over my chest and closed my eyes in frustration.

“It’s here right?” he asked me after about fifteen minutes.

“I opened my eyes slowly as I was almost sleeping. Looking around, I noticed that we were parked outside the mansion’s gate.

“Yes, thank you.”

“You can thank me properly later,” he winked.

I scowled and slammed the door before walking away but not before I heard his chuckle.

He horned loudly making me turn around with angry eyes.

‘What!”

He grinned, rising up my jacket. “You forget your jacket, although I must say you look hot in that torn cloth of yours.”

I looked down at my clothes. It was torn and the hand was hanging in a different direction. Glenna would have a heart attack if she sees me.

“You’re an asshole,” I said going back to grab my jacket, and then walked away.

My stomach grumbled loudly, reminding me that I had not eaten since two days ago. I stared at nothing in particular. The dungeon was pitch black with a small strip of mattress and a tiny pillow laid on the ground. I forced myself to lay down and tried to sleep, my back hurt from the series of beating Vincent gave me yesterday. I was used to it by now so I guess it didn’t hurt as much as before.

I tried to close my eyes but I just couldn’t sleep; it was the only thing that made me forget about all other things and to pass away time but I was tired of it. I was also tired of painting, doing nothing but paint all day could get pretty boring. I heard footsteps and in less than a second I was up from the mattress and back to the square hole where I could see outside.

It was Vincent, he was coming. Maybe I would be lucky and get something to eat. “Father!” I called. When he didn’t answer I called him by his name but by now I should have known that was a big mistake. Shit what was wrong with me today. Was I stupid or what or maybe I was just waiting for the next round of beating. Haven’t I learnt from the last torture I received that calling him by his name was just a medium of outrage from him.

Before I could say I was sorry for calling him that, the dungeon was opened forcefully and his normal whip was raised above his head ready to use it on me. “You fucking worthless bitch! How dare you call me Vincent, have you no fear for me? Huh?” he said in outrage and with that started whipping me saying each word with a whip.

“I-im s-sorry, I didn’t m-mean t-that” I said through clattering teeth. I thought by now the tears in me would have finished but I guess I was wrong.

“Shut up, you’re always sorry; you should be thought a lesson.”

He hit my head with something I couldn’t identify and I passed out, blackness sipping through and the image of my mother disappearing and appearing with tears in her eyes.

I woke with a start. My clothes and the bed sheet were drenched in sweat. I sighed inwardly and checked the time. It was 4:00 am and I was pretty sure I wasn’t going back to sleep even if I drowned in sleeping pills. I went downstairs to prepare coffee for myself then went back upstairs and peeped through Haley’s room. Shit I didn’t have the heart to wake her up for my own comfort so I went back to my room and put myself a vampire movie. I was so in love with vampire movies they were always filled with super-hot guys. Yummy!

Crossing my legs on the bed, I tried to get comfortable and thought about what a long day I would have today.

Hey everyone, not really sure you guys will like this chapter but I got really busy because I travelled and there was no internet there so I tried to upload a new chapter as soon as I was home. I know this is very short and may have some errors in it but I promise next chapter to be longer.
