"Wake up." I hear.
I have been awake for a while now. I just didnt want to open my eyes, didnt want it to be true. I didnt want this to be my life.
I was hoping that if i kept my eyes shut and didnt move, that maybe I would wake up from this nightmare. Maybe I would wake up in another girl's bed, with another girl's memories and life. But that didnt happen.
"I know youre awake. Just sit up."
I sat up.
"I wont hurt you."
My mouth was moving before I could process what Im saying.
"I remember."
"Remember? Oh do you now?"
"Yes, my name is Ambrosia Capulet."
He shivered a bit, but i continued.
"My parents died when I was ten, and I lived with my grandmother for eight years."
"So youre eighteen?"
"No, Im nineteen. I used my college savings to buy a little house in the woods."
Why? Youre a pretty girl, so why hide in the woods?"
"Why do you care?"
"I dont."
"Why did you kidnap me?"
"I didnt."
"Liar."
"Okay, maybe I did."
"Maybe?"
"Okay, so yeah I did, but who cares?"
"Me."
"Thats too bad angel. Cause no one knows youre gone. You chose to live in solitary, so no one really noticed when you werent out to get the mail for a few days."
"A few days?"
"Three to be exact. You havent been here that long."
"Three days?"
"Yes."
Wait. Why am I talking to this guy? He kidnapped me. Ive gotta try to escape.
"Thats a bad idea."
"Excuse me?"
"Trying to leave. Its a bad idea. It wont work. I wont let you,"
"'How did you know i was-"
"Im not normal."
"No shit.."
"Watch it." He gave me a glare. He continued.
"I mean, Im not human."
"Yes you are."
"Why do you assume that? Because I look human?"
"Is this a joke? I get it this is a joke."
It makes so much sense now. Some prick probably used some harmless chemical to give me temporary amnesia or something.
"Temporary amnesia?" He got an amused look as he spoke.
"How are you doing that?"
"Im a demon."
"Excuse me?"
"Im a demon." He repeated. He got closer as he spoke.
"The way that we lure our prey is quite unique. Would you like to hear about it?"
I feel enchanted as blue and green meet. Our eyes locked as we both refuse to surrender. We stay like this for a few moments.
I start to notice how bright his eyes are. They are a hypnotizing blue. They are eyes that would engulf you whole if given the chance, and thats exactly what they were doing.
He starts to smirk. Damn, he knew, but how does he do that?
"You allowed me inside your head. So technically this is your fault."
"What do you mean this is my fault?"
"You told me your name, your past, invited me into your memories too. So you pretty much gave me permission to stroll around inside your mind as I please."
Well shit. Wait stop smirking you fucker.
"But because of what a good guy i am, I decided to leave your precious memories be and just listen in on your current thoughts."
Creep. But something didnt make sense.
"If you could go inside my head anyway, then why did you do that to me earlier?"
"I had to make you forget who you were, so you would tell me."
"But why?"
"So I could get inside your head."
"Why?"
"I think ive told you enough for today angel."
He turned around.
"No, tell me."
I could see the muscles in his back tense.
"I dont think youre in the position to be making demands, do you?"
He had a point, but im stubborn and im not giving up.
"You should." He turned as he reached the door.
"Unless of course, you wanna stay in here."
Does that mean if I stop he'll let me go?
"I'll let you out of this room. I'll even let you roam around the house."
"Why cant I leave?"
His eyes darkened.
"Because I said so. Now dont argue anymore. Got it?"
Like im gonna answer that.
"Got it?"
"Sure whatever."
"Good enough I suppose"
He opens the door,
and i bolt
