DESIRED (BWWM)

The Break In

Renee's pov

When Elijah leaves I walk outside and sit at the edge of the lake, placing my feet in the cool water and just enjoying being outside.
The day is quiet and I'm thankful for that because it allows me to think.

Something I've obviously not been doing.

I know this is wrong, immoral even. But I can't help the way I feel. The way my body heats up when Elijah looks at me. The way my heart stops when he mutters my name, as if it was made for his lips alone.

I sigh, knowing deep down that our relationship or whatever the hell this thing is can never really work but not finding it in myself to end it.

My phone ringing snaps me out of my thoughts and I leave the lake to go answer it, thinking that its Elijah already calling me. I spot it on the kitchen counter and a blush stains my cheeks as I remember Elijah demanding to feed me this mornings breakfast.

The call ends before I can get to it and I bite my lip when I see William was calling me.

Again.

I decide not to call him back on the grounds of my deal with Elijah, even though I really wanted to, if only to explain why I'm not answering his calls. I sigh again as I walk back to the doors, making sure to lock it like Elijah instructed.

I take a seat on the sofa, turning the television on as I watch a random movie.
There's a sudden knock on the door and my heart leaps in my throat.

Elijah and Titanic would never knock.

I wait a few heart clenching minutes but I don't hear anything again. Thinking it's my imagination running wild I roll my eyes and continue to watch the movie.

"I know you're in there Schatz," a menacing voice says and my breathing stops. "Now be a good little girl and open the door for us, I promise we won't hurt you......too much,"
(Translation: sweetheart)

I feel like throwing up as my breathing escalates and I jump off the sofa running to the kitchen to call Elijah. The phone rings exactly three times before he answers. "What's wrong?" He asks instantly alerted.

"Elijah someone's t-trying to to get inside the cabin," I whisper clutching my chest as I try to breathe normally. "Fuck!" He shouts.
"Baby where are you?"

"Behind the kitchen counter AHH!" I scream when one of the door hinges comes flying off.
"Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit," I mutter as I look around the kitchen frantically for a weapon.

"Listen to me Mia Vita. I need you to go to our closet, you'll find a door. Go inside and lock it baby girl I'm on my way okay?"

"I'm scared," I say as tears stream down my face and my heart clenches in my chest.

"I know you are baby, but I need you to do this for me okay. I need you to be brave for me. Can you be brave me Renée?"

Elijah asks with bearly concealed panic in his voice.
"Okay," I say taking a deep breath and moving to get up.

The door is pushed open before I get the chance to move and I place both my hands over my mouth preventing myself from screaming.

"Renée?" Elijah whispers and I shut my eyes tightly.

"Where are you doll face? You're in big big trouble now," the voice says and I all but choke on my saliva.

"Baby? Listen to me. I need you to run okay?"  Elijah whispers and a scared giggle almost gets past my lips.

This is no time for your psychotic behavior Renée.

"Okay," I whisper, trying to be strong even as my voice breaks and my legs feel like spaghetti.
I poke my head to the side of the counter watching as the terrifying tattooed figure makes his way into Ty's room.
