His obsession

The next day

I didn't end up getting much sleep that night. It wasn't just his presence in the room making me uneasy, I also couldn't stop thinking about the surprise trip to Spain.

How on Earth would I escape if we were in a whole other country?

I went through multiple situations in my head and gradually became more and more anxious about what was to come. If I couldn't escape before we left for Spain, and I didn't even know when that would be, then I would be in a whole new environment with no one to guide me through it but him and there would be no one looking for me because I would be registered missing in England, not Spain. It was also bothering me that I didn't even know why we were moving country. Before this revelation, Lucifer seemed to be planning to stay in this house forever, he showed no sign of this being temporary so what changed? He also said "we" had no choice not just me meaning he didn't choose to move countries either. The only thing that made sense was if someone got close to finding me and now he was worried.

Did that mean there was a chance people were about to find me? But how would he know if they were?

I really didn't know what to think. I spent most of the night stressing about all sorts of different possibilities and trying to come up with a solid plan to get away but I got nothing. I even at one point got out of bed and tried to open the door when I realised Lucifer was asleep but of course it was locked and wouldn't budge.

I must have somehow managed to fall asleep at some point because when I woke up Lucifer was gone.

After forcing myself to sit up I saw the door was open. I really didn't want to leave the bed but I somehow managed to convince myself to get up and attempt to walk to the door. Sadly, I was too tired to be thinking clearly so I forgot about the wound in my leg and abruptly fell flat on my face. I winced in pain as I then had to try and push myself up which was a lot harder than I thought considering even though it was getting better, it still hurt like hell when I bent my leg. In the end I shuffled up to my bed and positioned myself so I was sitting with my back against the edge of the bed and just stayed there for a few seconds to catch my breath.

I must have made a noise when I fell because I suddenly heard Lucifer come running up the stairs to see what had happened.

"Hey sweetheart you're awake, I just heard a loud noise and got worried is everything ok?" He comforted.

I cringed at the fake empathy in his voice, he was a monster, there was no way he felt any sort of caring towards anyone.

"Yeah I'm fine, I just forgot my crutches and fell over" I replied, flashing him a fake smile i knew he would fall for.

Just like I thought, he smiled back, genuinely buying my whole damsel in distress act as he got up to bring me my crutches. I laughed in my head at how all it took was a fake smile with minimal effort and all of a sudden he's no longer worried that I may be trying to escape because that's all it took for him to believe I wanted to be there.

"There you go," he exclaimed, resting the crutches next to me against the bed. "Thank goodness that's all it was, I was a little scared after yesterday's incident that you might be trying to escape." He chuckled.

I laughed nervously with him, pretending like that's not what I was planning to do the second I got the chance. He then helped me stand up and handed me the crutches so I could walk.

"Anyway, I've made us some breakfast downstairs, can you get there yourself or do u want me to carry you?" He asked.

"No, no it's fine I can walk." I quickly responded as I immediately got up and started making my way towards the stairs to ensure he didn't carry me anyway. I noticed a look of hurt on his face at my quick reply but I didn't care, I was not going to give into that so I just hurriedly rushed past him and made my way downstairs.

We finally got to the kitchen and Lucifer instructed me to sit at the table and wait for him. He then sat next to me and placed a plate of chocolate chip pancakes, my favourite, in front of me. Of course he knew what my favourite breakfast was, he was probably hoping this would make me forget how he hit me the day before.

I ate the food silently, refusing to speak to him until he suddenly cleared his throat like he wanted to say something.

Here we go.

I rolled my eyes internally as I prepared myself for whatever he was about to say next.

"So I've been thinking, about the announcement I made yesterday"

Oh no, this did not sound good.

"Now, I know you were upset as it would be a big change, but I still think we need this change, and like it or not you will have to accept that." He continued. I said nothing in response. It wasn't like I had a choice and he knew that.

Putting down his knife and fork, he grabbed my hands and turned to face me. I turned to him as well, looking him dead in the eyes suddenly terrified of what he was planning on doing.

"Sweetheart, it's ok to be scared, but this change is going to be better for the both of us and we will finally be able to be together with no one getting in the way. You may hate it now but u will eventually realise why we had to do this and you will thank me."

Thank him? Why would I thank him for kidnapping me and moving me to another country against my will when I was perfectly happy before?

I looked down unsure what to say because I didn't want to accidentally annoy him because god knows what he would do to me then.

"Hey, look at me," he ordered letting go of one of my hands to lift my chin up, forcing me to look at him. He gently moved his hand back and began stroking my cheek.

"You are mine now ok? And you always will be. So no matter what you do, or how much you try to get away, that is never gonna change. You may hate me now but some day you will see that everything I'm doing, is for you because I love you and I care about you, and as soon as you realise that then we can really be happy together."

So basically he's talking nonsense to get me to listen to him because he seems to think that will work.

I just stared at him still refusing to say anything. I'm assuming he expected me to apologise or tell him I cared which I was not going to do so I just stared at him waiting for him to get up so I could finish my food. Eventually he sighed before standing up and taking his place next to me again.
