ON THE RUN

Dreams

“you worthless creature.” He spits at me. I look at him with a disgusted look. My hands are tied to a pole and I can’t do anything about it.

“today you will die just like your worthless mother.” He says maniacally.
I feel so hopeless. He weeps my back for the hundredth time and I wince in pain.
“but first I will kill your so called brother.” He says with a grin.

He pulls Darian by his hair then he places a knife at his throat.

“NO!!” I scream with tears streaming from my eyes.

I struggle to free myself from the ropes, I can’t let Darian die.

“Darian!” I scream.
He looks straight in my eyes; I feel his pain. What did we do to deserve all this?
“Uncle please leave him.” I plead and it only seems to give him satisfaction.
He lets go of Darian and walks over to me. he slaps me so hard and I swear I see the north star.

“Uncle, uncle…” I mumble over and over again. My life is surely a mess

“Cassie! Cassie wake up.” I hear a voice in the distance “Cassie!” the voice shouts again and I realize that it’s Monty.

My whole body is trembling. So it was just a dream huh. My whole body is shaking vigorously. It all felt so real, I don’t wanna lose Darian. Lord please help me

“Calm down Cassie, I gat you.” Monty says slowly but tears keep flowing down my cheeks.

He still doesn’t leave. I realize now that am in his arms and am not sure how I got there but I feel safe in his arms.
“it’s ok.” He says lovingly but if only he knew that I killed someone.

I don’t know how long I stay in Monty’s arms but it feels so comforting I fall asleep there. I wake and try to get but am dragged down by a large arm which is holding me in place. I realize how awkwardly me and Monty are sleeping.

Memories of last night come flooding in my mind, how he held me so tight throughout. He is such a darling. I manage to turn around and now am facing him.

I take my time to take in his features, he is damn attractive. He has the perfect face and am sure I’ve never seen a face as striking as his. His lips are so well shaped; I wonder how it would feel to kiss them. I reach out to touch his face and it’s surprisingly so soft. While am busy exploring his face his eyes flutter open. My cheeks turn red with embarrassment.

“Uhm so… sorry I was just uhm.” I stutter

“Good morning.” He says like he didn’t catch me touching him at all.

“Good morning.” I say but it comes out more as a whisper but am sure he heard me.

he doesn’t seem bothered at all with the position we are sleeping. His large arm is holding me captive from my waist. Our legs are tangled up but he looks at me as if it’s the most normal situation.
