Amara’s POV
……..
” Dada!” I hear Sadie say in a cheerful tone.
” Hey, peanut.” I hear Dimitri say back in a cheerful tone.
” She really missed you. I had to get one of your shirts, and spray it with your cologne to get her to calm down.” Mary tells him with a small giggle.
I am assuming he picked Sadie up, cause she starts giggling, and babbling happily too him.
” Calm down little one. I wasn’t gone very long.” He says in a soft caring tone. I can hear Sadie giggle some more, before she goes quiet.
” Has she woke up at all?” I hear him ask Mary.
” No, she been sleeping since I give her a sedative to relax.” I hear Mary answers.
That’s right, I was trying to leave with Sadie. I remember bumping into someone rock hard chest, before Mary grabbed me from behind. The next thing I felt was something sharp poking into the side of my neck.
” I really hate you right now.” I say softly, as I slowly sit up in bed.
” Looks like she is finally awake.” Dimitri says to Mary.
Looking over at him I can the cocky smirk on his face. ” Did you have a good rest?” He asked he a cocky tone.
” Shut up! I don’t want to speak to you!” I snap at Dimitri, and look over at Mary, ” And you! You are suppose to be my friend! Not a traitor!” I say with my voice full of hurt.
” I am your friend Amara.” Mary tells me.
” You drugged me! Friends don’t do that Mary!” I shout at her.
” I give you a sedative to help you sleep. You needed to relax and stop freaking out.” She tells me.
” Mary go downstairs with Sadie. Me and Amara need to have a talk” Dimitri say interrupting our disagreement, as he hands Sadie too her.
” No! Dada!” Sadie whines holding her arms out towards Dimitri.
” I’m not going anywhere. Mary is just taking you downstairs to get a snack.” He says her softly with a smile.
That seems to satisfy Sadie, because she stops crying.
I watch Mary give me a sympathetic look, before carrying Sadie out of the room.
” No, I don’t want to talk to you! There is nothing for us to talk about!” Tossing the blankets off of me. I get to my feet and walk to the bathroom.
Shutting the door behind I can’t help but to let out a frustrated scream.
How could my own friend I trusted drug me into staying here. I can’t stay in this environment with Sadie. She is going to grow up thinking that murdering people is okay, because daddy does it.
I feel so dumb staying here in the first place. Sure I did miss them. They have been my only friends since middle school and high school. They even make me feel safe, but things are different now. I knew Dimitri would torment and torture other kids at school. I just didn’t realize he was capable of murdering innocent people, or letting that news reporter get raped over and over, before letting his men skin her alive.
Hearing the door open behind me. I turn around too see Dimitri walking in. I watch him shut and lock the door.
” What are you doing? Get out.” I tell him in a stern tone.
” No, we need to have a talk.” Dimitri says leaning against the doorframe.
” Like I said a few moments ago. We have nothing to talk about. I am leaving.” I tell him.
” You aren’t leaving Amara, and you aren’t taking Sadie anywhere either. You are staying here.” He says back in a stern tone.
” No, I am not staying here! You are setting a bad example for Sadie by going on a killing spree. Sadie is going to grow up thinking that killing people is normal. Which it isn’t by the way! You murdered innocent police officers! They had families and friends to go home too!” I scream at him in anger.
I watch him push himself off the wall, before storming towards me. He pushes my back against the wall, and grabs ahold of my jaw roughly.
” D-Dimitri, let go!”
” Shut up!” Dimitri snaps at me in anger.
I jump at his tone of voice, and stare into his anger filled eyes. ” You aren’t going anywhere. I will tie you to that bed and leave you there.” He says in a cold tone.
” You wouldn’t dare!” I say back.
I let out a little whimper, as I feel his grip tighten on my jaw. ” I would dare, because you are mine! Those police officers that you are so upset about are nothing but trash. If they wanted to stay alive. They shouldn’t have tried to arrest me in my own territory, and minded their own fucking business!”
” They were doing their jobs!” Placing my hands on his wrist. I try to pulling his hand away from me. Which only causes him to tighten his grip some more.
” I am doing my job too. Which is killing anyone in my way.” He says angrily, before leaning forward, and kissing me aggressively on the lips.
I try pushing him away, but he grabs ahold of both my wrist, and pins them above me head.
” Dimitri! Let go!” I scream out at him.
” No! Not until you get it through your stubborn brain that you aren’t going anywhere.” He says in a stern tone.
He releases his hold on my jaw, and reaches behind his back. He pulls out a huge knife with a black handle. He places the blade on the collar of my shirt open, before slicing it open.
” W-what are you doing!” I says trying to pull my wrist free.
” This is what’s going to happen. You are going to agree that you aren’t leaving, or I am going to curve my name above your right breast.” Dimitri says, as he opens my shirt half way.
He can’t be serious!
He isn’t actually going to curve his name into me.
Sure he can be nuts, but he wouldn’t actually hurt me.
Would he?
” You are going to hurt me to prove a point!?” I ask him with my voice full of shock and hurt.
” That is up too you Amara.” Feeling the tip of the bladed against my chest. I bite my bottom lip, before letting out a cry, ” Fine! You win! Are you happy now!” I say with my voice cracking into sobs.
” No.” He says sliding the knife gently down my chest, and hooking it on my bra. He gives it a tug causing my bra to snap open.
” Stop it!” I cry out too him.
I watch him smirk at me, ” Next time I will curve my name into your chest. That way if you ever run away, and someone finds you. They know who to bring you back too.” He says coldly, before releasing me.
” You are an asshole!” I snap at him with tears streaming down my face.
” I am an asshole that loves you.” Dimitri snaps back at me. ” So, get use too it Amara! I kill people, and I don’t give a shit if they are innocent or not!” He says before leaving the bathroom.
Sliding down the wall I sit in the floor. ” You are an asshole!” I scream loudly hoping he can still hear me.
I pull my legs up too my chest, and just start crying.
After a few seconds I wipe the tears off my cheeks, and slowly stand to my feet. As I am walking out of the bathroom. I see Lucia is sitting on the bed smoking a cigarette.
” What do you want!?” I snap at him, as I walk over to my dresser. I open it up and grab a black shirt. I face towards the wall, as I take my torn shirt and bra off. I toss them into the floor behind me, before slipping on the back t-shirt.
” I am just checking on you. Dimitri hasn’t exactly been in a very good mood since we got back.” Lucia informs me.
” Are you saying I caught him at a bad time?” I question him out of anger.
” No, I am saying you need to relax. You are crying over dead people that you don’t even know.” He tells me.
” Geez! Maybe because I am the only one in this house that actually has a heart!” I snap at him.
Lucia smiles at me, ” Yes, you are right about that, but there is no use in crying for the dead.”
” I cry because it is sad. They all had families to go home too.”
” We have families too Amara. It is us or them. That is how our world works. So, I suggest you learn to get over it.” Lucia says standing to his feet.
I watch him walk out the door, before hearing the lock click.
Just because they killed people to come back home. Doesn’t mean that news reporter deserved to die that way. He didn’t even have to slaughter all those cops.
He could have shown mercy.
Sitting on the bed I stare out the window.
When Dimitri gets back in here. I am giving him a piece of my mind. I’m not done arguing with him yet.
