[Completed] Amira is a human who finds herself thrust into a world she doesn't know. Once she wakes up in the strange town of Woling, she has to fight to regain the memories of the evils she committed in order to keep her past from destroying everyt...
"Always," It was true. I didn't have anyone else, and he was making me stronger. It definitely helped that he told me that he needed me as much as I needed him, though I didn't know if it was possible.
He wasn't even human.
Well, I don't think he was human. Human's eyes don't glow red like that, they don't have a temper like he does, they weren't strong and nearly invincible like he was. He could snap me like a toothpick. A grin stretched across his face, and he released my neck finally, still hovering over me and gently touching my face, though now his head lowered slightly, eliciting a shiver when his nose lightly brushed across my jaw and nudged my head to the side.
"You're so... delicate," his breath danced over my skin, dragging over the shell of my ear with his lips. All of my defenses were down, completely at his mercy, only for them to snap right back into place when the tip of a knife pressed into the base of my neck.
I didn't know what to do other than freeze. He was peppering feather light kisses against my skin, and one flick of the wrist away from cutting my head off.
"Do you know how easy it would be to kill you?" I swallowed and stared up at the ceiling. He wasn't pinning me down anymore, but I couldn't move.
"Yes," my heart constricted painfully, but I had a moment of relief when he moved the knife away from my throat, also pulling his head back just to watch with vacant red eyes as he traced the knife over the curve of my cheekbone.
"Good–"
"You won't- wouldn't kill me would you?" His grin faltered a moment, as did the motion of the knife on my face. His eyes glowed brighter and for a moment I thought I had really fucked up by asking that.
"I would never kill you, Amira. Never," He bit out, nicking my cheek for emphasis. I winced and tried to bite back the bile in my throat when he reached down and slowly licked the blood he drew off of my skin. "I'll just.. hurt you a bit."
We both settled into a semi-comfortable silence when Eon finally moved off and laid down beside me, twirling the knife around his fingers and staring up at the ceiling.
"Two weeks," Eon said after a moment, his voice seemed to be detached from his body. My head turned to the side to look at him.
"What?"
"Two weeks until it's time. You remember it's all for the best don't you, you have to do it. There isn't any backing out now, not even if you were able to would I let you," He let his words hang in the air for a moment. "It shouldn't take long. And once we do our part, it won't take long for her to find you, maybe a week max once you're back on the radar. Nothing is going to go wrong," That sounded like it was just for himself, and not me.
I didn't say anything, biting my tongue to keep my thoughts from spilling out of my head. I didn't want to do this, but I had no choice, I owed it to Eon for saving me, protecting me, making me stronger.
Still, to really kill her? To kill others? I know he had a plan, and it seemed almost like he himself had orders, but...
I didn't know why. It couldn't just be because she abandoned me and wronged him, could it? Eon was unstable that much was certain, but I didn't think he was that unstable. And Cara was awful, but not awful enough for murder. No one was.
I don't know. It doesn't really matter I guess, she probably did deserve it anyway, but I was just too 'fragile' and 'innocent' to really see that. That's what Eon was for.
"Why?"
"Why what?" Gravity weighed heavily on the both of us.
"Why all of this? Everything?" Eon took his time to answer, the silence deafening.
"To get what I was promised, to do my duty," The whisper of his words were soft and pained, and they held such raw emotion that it almost seemed like they didn't even come from Eon, the shell of a human being that I knew. I didn't know what on earth he could possibly mean, though I didn't have the courage to ask for elaboration.
So I let the conversation fall stagnant.
My heart hurt at the thought of leaving him, at least.. at least it's just for a few weeks. And nothing could go wrong. I would see him in a few weeks, and this would be done, and I will never, ever have to think about this again. She deserves this, I trusted Eon's judgment on that.
I heaved out a sigh and snuggled into Eon's side.
"Nothing will go wrong."
