no essential warnings besides stockholm syndrome in this, but idk if it's a warning or not.

yes, there will be no "good" ending. I never planned on giving this book that since it didn't feel right for this story. However, I do generally enjoy writing happy endings.

I frown, his grip quite strong. "You can't leave, Y/N, He said, smiling. "Fuck you! I spat, escaping his grip and running. However, deep down I knew I had begun falling for him, like he wanted. But I would never let them show, or even let him know I developed feelings.

Or Maybe he purposefully made me fall in love with him. Either way, if He does find me, I know I'm going to give in to my feelings and stay. Eventually, Be cut from life support, then I could never leave. I shivered at that thought.

"Second thought, I like a chase, Peter smirks, well, I could imagine he was. When I heard that, I freaked out. Mostly because he was doing this on purpose now.

He could catch me but preferred the fun of running to catch me. So I had to hide for a while, again. I already got deja vu as I think that in my head.

"Y/n, You won't escape this time, Peter says. "I'll go easy on you. I promise." Now I wasn't naïve enough to know he was being truthful, he was obviously lying.

He thought he could manipulate me this time around but he was wrong. I wasn't going to fall for that. Not anymore anyways.

He could manipulate me when I was naïve and younger , like when I actually saw him without being in the upset down years ago, but not anymore. I'm not stupid and certainly not blind.

and sure I enjoyed my time with him in the lab but he didn't feel the same and just used me at the time. Used me for his own purposes. Ones I don't agree with. His morals were completely different from mine.

Peter believed he was doing some good for the world, which makes things scarier. I make sure I'm quiet. So He couldn't hear me. But he could definitely hear my thoughts.

If he was so focused on finding me, I might be able to actually get out of here and to that escape without him knowing. Sure he controlled everything. And could prevent me from leaving without him actually being there but he was only able to do so if he used his mind and right now he was doing something else other than stopping me from leaving

But hiding seemed like the smartest thing to do at the moment. I had to play the game right and outsmart him somehow.

Even though Peter knew this lab better than I did. I didn't like admiring that but it was the truth. He had been here longer than me and probably thought of ways to escape too.

"I think I know where you're hiding, y/n, Peter says. His voice not terrifying but he is still intimidating without it. The calmer he is in his voice the angrier he is.

I figured that out a while ago. I can read him well too. Even without the advantage of reading his mind. My telepathy had never been very good and I have used it but his mind is strong. If only I practiced my mind reading more. But Dr. Brenner, fearing I could use it against him, never worked on it when i was in the lab.

However, he still worked on my other powers, which would've been better to use against him. Funny enough I did. I used to believe he was stronger. But he was mediocre, weaker than me, I suppose. He knew how powerful I could be.

"I like your rage, Y/N, keep building it up, He encouraged. "No, I say in my mind, because I know he could hear me there. "Once you keep building your rage, you'd be stronger, He says, But I think he knows, I won control my powers if I get very angry.

But He has a point. Peter built his power from his anger, His emotions. Yet, somehow, had enough patience he waited for his revenge. I couldn't do that. Revenge for me, was different from his interpretation of Revenge.

He grew up how I did. Maybe even worse. Yet, we became two completely different people. I realized, maybe we were more alike. Maybe, I could help him. Not change him, nothing could change him anymore, he was beyond change, he never was good to begin with.

Should I keep going? Or give in to my real feelings?

I feel him come closer, My heart rising. But for what, I didn't know anymore. Perhaps my secret feelings for him. this must be what stockholm syndrome is. and it's kicking in quick. Probably had been for a while.

I sighed. I could do two decisions. One, stay with him. Or, eventually escape. Logical side of me knows I could be hurting my family if I choose to stay. Escaping would benefit me more. God, why did I have to be so indecisive?

I heard that stupid clock chime close by. I knew what it meant so it didn't confuse or alarm me well, it more so bothered me as it constantly played.

I get he had childhood trauma but why relieve it over and over with that dumb clock? It didn't mean much then and it probably doesn't mean much now. I was growing annoyed but even more so when I heard his footsteps. I could hear him coming closer, but instead of moving, I froze. 

Maybe I shouldve chosen beforehand, because my mind and heart were at war. In his soothing, smooth voice 001 spoke,"Y/N. I found you." I gulp, now knowing he was behind me. I could feel how he was feeling. I could read his mind, but i shouldn't. 

"I'll ask you this, do you really want to leave? Or stay? He asks, playing with me. His smirk said so much. I paused. I was thinking through everything. Was he right? Did I really want to leave? I made my choice when I moved closer, hugging him, I knew he was surprised.

"I love you."

"I love you too, Y/N. I will forever."
