If Only (Prologue)

"What? No!"

"Yes!"

"No, I can't and I won't."

"He is not a good man, Maddie. He is deluding you into his trance."

"You are not doing it again. Mom."

Before, I could speak further, Corvett pressed my palm, gesturing me to stop and then he spoke, "Ms. Parc, what can I do to make you believe my loyalty? I never even dreamed of hurting your daughter. I will never do that, ever."

Mom's jaw clenched at his response, "I don't need your lying ass to prove anything to me. I am telling you like a gentle human being, get out of my house. Leave my daughter and never ever lurk anywhere near this neighbourhood.

What? I failed to believe what she was saying at that point. My anger was touching the sky. She has crossed her limit, "He is not going anywhere!" I snapped out in a higher pitch.

Corvett turned towards me and held me by my shoulder, "Shh! You can't speak like that to your mother. She is just concerned about you.

Mom flinched her face and shook her head in disbelief before shifting her gaze towards me,

"Trust me, love!" her tone softened, "You are mistaken. He is just pretending to be someone. Madeline, I... I did my part of study about him.

Corvett's hands slipped off my shoulder. I knew. At that point, not even he could believe what he was hearing. She was insulting him yet again. Pushing him to the egde, where he would break and that aggravated my rage, "Care to explain?"

"Ms. Parc. " Corvett cut in, "You are wrong. Please, don't."

"Shut up!" She yelled,  "Don't ever try to puddle me. You have done enough." She shifted her gaze towards me and continued in a softer tone, "Honey, listen to me carefully. He is just having plans for you. He is..."

Bang!

In a split second, a deafening sound numbed my ears, and mom's face got covered with splatters of blood. My heart fell to my stomach. She was shot. A nauseous effect started to take over me. I gathered my strength and looked up at Corvett. He had the gun with the smoking muzzle. I was numb. Nothing made sense. My eyes were burning with the tears that was threatening to burst out.

"Let's go." Corvett broke through the silence in relaxed tone, stuffing his gun back into his belt.

"No!......W...What did you do?"

Corvett stopped and looked up at me. At the moment, failed to find the warmth that was in his eyes, a few seconds ago. He kept studying through me and within the split of a second, his lips curved up into a warm smile, "She was interfering, love."

"You killed my mom!" My voice came out choked and quivering. A bizarre blend of anger and fear was steering inside me. He read it. He slowly brushed the top of my palm, he was holding till now and slowly his grip tightened.

"I did." he replied in the most calm voice. Like nothing ever happened.

Everything started to make sense. Mom was right. I was stupid enough to put him before my mother and she paid the cost of it. A guilt filled my guts. I failed to recognize the devil that was lurking around me the whole time.

"Let's go!" he added and my breath hitched.  My heart started to drum against my ribcage at a painful rate. The more I was trying to get my hand out of his grip, the more he tightened his grip.

"I am not coming with you! You...." I failed to stop the tears at this point, "You are a psychopath!"

My fear was his salvation. As he read through my fear, his lips curled up into a devilish grin, "My sweet cake!" he started in a honeyed tone, which could have been sweet, but it disgusted me now, "I worked so hard for the surprise I prepared for you. I can't cancel that. Not now."

My wails along with the terror choked my words into my throat. What if he killed me, if I spoke. Failing to let out any word, I shook my head frantically, pleading him to spare me.

The smile in his face vanished. He closed the distance between us to an extend that I could feel his warm breaths, brushing through my skin, filling me in with more fear. "There is no place for denial now." The little softness in his voice left. Leaving me with a demon.

His eyes were filled with a rage, unknown to me. A cold, merciless rage. He grabbed my hand tighter than he ever did. It hurt me bad. But, that was his intention. Inspite of my cries and utmost reluctance, he pulled me, out of my house.

I cried for help, wailed with all the strength I had in my voice. He closed the door behind him and muffled my mouth, seizing the last string of my voice, before shoving me inside the car.

He said, he had a surprise for me, that I would never forget. He meant it.

I saw a devil within the eyes, I searched for love. And, that the one person, whom I thought would be my warmth, was the cause of my enormous pain. I was helpless in saving the only person I had in my life. It broke me, as I realized, I will be seeing my mother for the last time. It broke me, that maybe I won't be back here anymore, and maybe, my life wont be same anymore. Maybe, I won't be breathing anymore.

An year it was.

My world was concised to a dark caged hole. I was unaware when the sun rose. I was unaware, when the stars showed. My tears never dried. My cries never heard. My bruises never healed, yet the sufferings never ended.

When the wind brushed through my face, I smiled as I thought it to be a calm breeze. Little did I know it was an impending storm, which dragged me out and dropped me into an unknown world, powerless, wounded, helpless.

I would not have realized the beast in me, until I saw myself ........bleed.
