A Needle and Thoughts

Start from the beginning
                                    


Letting her stitch her two wounds, he merely sat nearby and observed. He took account of every wince she made and felt that his punishment was quite decent. Not only had he injured her but also she had to deal with the pain of fixing the damages. Well, it might have been a little harsh, but she was rejecting a kindness of his.


It would have been easy to crush the crackers in her face and make her lick the crumbs off of the plate, yet he restrained himself. This was one of many options. She didn't know how kind he was being to her at the moment.


Once she was done mending her wounds, he started to collect the various items and head back to the bathroom. Soon, he finished the two tasks and discovered that his little doe was heading towards her room. He had desired to look at more stars with her, but he supposed that he could let her go for the night.


A few minutes passed before she closed her room door. She didn't look back even once. Well, at least he had some time stargazing with her. There were still plenty of nights left before Nathan came back, however. So, he wasn't in too much of a rush.


Originally, he had intended to keep a very close watch on her, hence the reason why he had pushed her into the home last night while he was making her dinner. Now, however, it seemed like giving her some space might actually be a better option. He wouldn't let her escape, but she might become more comfortable in the house if he wasn't next to her twenty-four seven. It was a gamble. Should she try to escape again, though, he would go back to his previous plan of heavy watching.


Keeping that in mind, he brought the constellation book back inside and set it in Nathan's room. From there, he made his way into the living room and grabbed the television remote. It had been awhile, since he had watched television freely. For the past five years, he just had to be entertained by whatever channel Nathan favored.


Being able to watch whatever, he climbed up onto the couch and faced the screen a few moments later. Eventually, he found a suitable program. With that, he relaxed and let the evening flow on by. In the morning he would have another day to capture his little doe's feelings.


Repeatedly, the buzzing went on and on. It stopped sometimes before it continued. (F/n) kept her eyes closed and tried to ignore the sound, but it kept pestering her. A few minutes passed, and she couldn't take it anymore. She half expected it to be Drem doing something annoying. When she sat up, though, and inspected the room, she caught no sight of the small monkey. In addition to this, the air in the house was normal. Where was he?


Wherever he was, she would locate him after she stopped the irritating sound coming from her right shorts' pocket. Taking out her phone, she looked over it to see that her mother was calling her. She smiled a little at this before answering.


The call was mainly her reassuring her mother that she was fine and well, which was lie, but she couldn't tell her mother the truth. It was too dangerous, and she wouldn't risk her mother being harmed in some way by Drem. Once the call ended, it had lasted about five minutes; she set her phone aside and got off of her bed.


She was quite shocked to find Drem nowhere in her room, unless he was hiding under her bed or somewhere else in the room. The thought was creepy, and she didn't dwell on it. Instead, she caught a faint noise coming from the living room. It sounded like the television was on.


Curious, she quietly exited her room and made her way down the hallway. Peeking around the left corner of the hallway, she spotted Drem on the couch. Her eyes looked over to the television, and she nearly laughed at seeing what he was watching.


Presently on the television was a musical. It wasn't that the musical itself was funny, but she didn't expect him to like something like that. Granted, she enjoyed the movie, but Drem finding it pleasant was hard to believe. She really couldn't understand the male. Most of the time, he was a violent jerk and at other times was completely bewildering.


Yesterday, he had her read to him about the stars, and he had prepared dinner for her. Along with those two acts, he stabbed her in each leg. It caused walking to be a little on the painful side, but at least she could still maneuver around the house. Now, however, he was watching a classic musical with songs that easily got stuck in one's head.


Perhaps, he had been viewing something else and had fallen asleep, but did he even require rest? He was some invisible entity, so she really didn't know. When he was possessing Otis, she hadn't thought to ask him what he was exactly. There were several options, and she was leaning towards ghost more than the others or maybe even a spirit of some sort.


Part of her was tempted to sneak up on him and embarrass him, but the other saw it as an opportunity to sneak out the back. Obviously, he thought that she was still asleep. So, why not use that to her advantage. Well, she had failed on her other attempts, but it only took one success to escape. Then again, another failure could spell immense trouble for her.


As she was debating on what to do, she didn't notice that she was leaning on the wall too much. Her fingers were beginning to slide across the wall. This led to her losing her balance within the next few seconds. Quickly, she caught herself and breathed out a sigh of relief, but her chance of escape had been ruined.


Making eye contact with her was Drem. She could effortlessly imagine him wearing a grin on his lips, while he plotted something in his head. (F/n) hoped that she wouldn't receive another injury.
