Excerpt:

When I gazed into Will's eyes I saw his broken soul. A soul which had been forced to turn dark.

When I looked into his eyes, I saw pain and anger.

So much anger.

It made me shudder, it made me afraid.

I licked my dry lips and tore my eyes away from him. His eyes followed me, scrutinizing my every move. Like a predator stalking it's prey.

"Look at me Marriah." I heard his soft but firm voice. I trained my eyes on his chest not daring to go further up.
"Look. at. me." He said slowly, his voice was a little louder this time, full of authority.

He leaned forward, now merely a few inches away from me, my breath hitched.

"Are you afraid of me, Marriah?" He said, deliberately stressing on each word, his eyes were boring into mine.

With every ounce of courage I had I looked up and met his gaze.

"No." My voice was a whisper, my lips trembled. He knew I was lying.
Honestly, I had never been more afraid of anyone in my life.

"No?" He asked raising his eyebrows mockingly. I realized he was playing with my emotions and enjoying it.
I straightened my shoulders and pulled my chin up, looking him squarely.

"No, I'm not scared of you." I spoke up boldly. I had to let him know that I wasn't weak, that I wasn't afraid of him.

He smirked and leaned closer, till I could feel his warm breath on my face.

"You should be." He whispered in my ear.
