Chapter 43 : All I See
++Victoria's POV++
I watched his every movement , Intently - wisely anticipating his next bold move . Adrenaline pumped through-out my whole entire - preparing me for a bloody fight . A fight I was more than determined to win . I already knew that I could not win a physical fight with Marcus , but I had a vile plan forming in my screwed up head . I would break him down with my words - I would make him surrender and drop to his knees before me . I was going to make him feel so horrible about himself - he would pathetically beg me to kill him .
" I am not going to hurt you . Please baby , put the knife down . " He pleaded , the wary clear in his broken tone .
" Take it from me . " I blatantly challenged him , cocking an eyebrow .
He immediately shook his head - instantly denying my request . Good choice , I wouldn't trust a pissed off female with a knife either .
" You . Can't . Kill . Me . " he spoke his words almost too confident . I squirmed under his intense glare - confused as to way he thought I wouldn't love to drive my trusty little knife , right through his non-existent heart . A knowing smirk formed on his face , and for a quick second .. I almost thought about cowering in a corner somewhere . I hated when he gave me that look , it was kind of like he knew something I didn't and it irritated me .
When he realized I wasn't going to reply , he obnoxiously took it upon himself to continue his useless ramble .
" Do you know why you can't kill me - why you can NEVER escape me ? " he asked , seriously . I gulped nervously - suddenly feeling sick to my stomach .
" Why ? " I questioned , trying to sound as confident and levelheaded as possible - to bad I failed miserably .
Hesitantly, he stepped closer to me - hypnotizing me with those undeniably beautiful green orbs .
" Because .. I . Am . Inside . Of . You " he whispered every single word agonizingly slow - taunting me .
My eyebrow furrowed in confusion , as I stared at him with wary eyes .
" W-what is that supposed to mean ? " I croaked out , ignoring the warning bells going off inside of my head . Before I could interrogate him any farther , I realized what he meant . I stumbled away from Marcus , shocked beyond words . My chest heaved painfully , but I quickly recovered .
" Do you know how long you've been locked up in this house , tori ? " He asked through gritted teeth .
Quickly , I shook my head - desperate to know the answer .
" Please , please tell me . " my head was spinning and I felt like at any given moment I could pass out . I clutched my stomach , as a wave of cold nausea washed through me . I pressed my lips together , forcing the disgusting vomit back down my throat .
" 4 months . " he spat .
A gasp of surprised spilled from my lips , as tears unwillingly sprung to my dull , lifeless eyes . I've been here for 4 months ?! That's impossible ! I didn't even realize , I've been chained up in this prison for that fucking long !!
" No ... "
" When was the last time , you got your period ? " Hie flashed me a bitter smile - provoking me .
If his main objective was to upset me... He succeed greatly because his file question drove me completely over the edge and all I could see was red . My hands twitched violently as a lethal growled escaped from deep within my throat . That sound was so foreign .. I had no idea what I was doing my mind went completely blank . I needed him dead and I needed him dead right now , no more second chances ..
before I realize what was actually happening Marcus fell to his knees , wailing in pain . Scott stood behind him , clutching a baseball bat for dare life . His expression was so unnatural - so menacingly evil , my blood ran ice cold .
" KILL HIM ! " he roared , his eyes narrowed with pure hatred and anger. I whimpered slightly , unaware of my pathetic muffled sobs . Could I actually take his life ?! No ! I couldn't !
" No ! I can't ! " I screamed at Scott , harshly tugging at my tangled roots . Scott's bat collied with the side of Marcus's head . Marcus's cried out in gut-wrenching , ear -splitting pain . The sound of his whimpers and moaned filled the air - shattering my heart into a million little ugly pieces .
" Why are you still protecting him ! He kidnapped you , he fucking tore your innocence away from you ! Don't pity him , tori . "
I frantically shook my head , desperately gasping for air . I was hyperventilating . I shouldn't take this kind of pressure , it was all to much . Why couldn't Scott just kill Marcus , himself ?!
" Look at me . " Scott commanded .
I ignored him .
" I SAID LOOK AT ME ! " he shouted .
I immediately looked at him . His crystal blue eyes were completely black with fury and I could tell that he was beyond frustrated with me . Hell ... I was frustrated with myself for begin so damn weak.
" I love you , tori . I've loved you since the very first moment I laid eyes on you . You are not weak .. You are not pathetic . I've watched you fight harder than I've ever seen anyone fight .. You can do this , Vicky . You can put an end to your suffering once and for all ... Trust me on this , baby . "
" I love you too Scott , but I can't kill him . I won't kill him . " I protested .
" What if I told you that he kidnapped your little sister 'Abby' and sold her to one of the cruelest sex traffickers in this shitty little city . "
What ?!
" What do you mean 'sold' ?! What .. I don't .. Marcus wouldn't ... He didn't .."
" He's lying ! Don't believe him ! " Marcus chocked out , his eyes wide with remorse and fear .
Hearing his voice , made me queasy . Seeing his face , made me disgusted .
" Do it . " Scott whispered , and without a second fucking thought - I pierced my knife through Marcus's stomach .
