Not you

"Frequently we do not leave the past behind. We clasp on to it. We dissect it, and let fears for the future, tempered by the past, unconsciously prevent us from taking up the task eternal."

That fucking bitch.

One minute I think I have her all in my grasp, but then she decides to go on some rant about shit that could matter less.
I need some way to cool off.
When ever I get too stressed, I lash out.
'You almost won'
Stop.
'Touch her. Violate any part of her'
Fuck off.
'You know it's what you must do'
I don't need this right now.
'She's slipping away... every second wasted is a slap back into reality for her...'
I just need more time.
'There isn't time'
There's always time.
'Force her... she's weak... use it to your advantage'
I tried. I can't.
'Because you're weak'
No. It's everyone else. The distractions.

...speaking of which...

"MILES!" Kate yelled after Me, as I walked to my room
"Go away, Kate."
"No. I'm not going away. I'm done with these stupid games. Y/N is an innocent young beautiful girl, and you're some creep child who can't keep their hands to themselves." Kate insulted.
My hands clenched into a fist
"Fuck off Kate."
"Excuse me?"
"I said fuck. Off."
"You can't treat me like that. Go to your room. Now." Kate ordered.

Every bone in my body tensed.
I bit my lips, and took a deep breath.
'She needs to go'
I'm pretty fucking aware

"Miles! Listen! Stop dozing off. Go to your room."
"I already was." I mumbled angrily, before quickly running off into my bedroom

I needed to break something.
My eyes batted to every corner in the room, trying to find something in can take my anger out on.

Nothing.

I just collapsed onto my bed.
'Everything is ruined'
I can fix it
'Then go to her, hurt her if you must'
I will... I promise.
'Now'
I can't. I can't right now.
'Why?'

"FUCK OFF AND STOP ASKING ME QUESTIONS!" I yell
"Miles?" A small voice speaks.
I quickly sit up from my bed, and my eyes meet my sister.
"Who are ya talkin' to?" Flora asks
"Quint... he says he misses you." I reply with a smile.
Flora doesn't seem happy
"What's going on?" I ask
"Kate... she's been acting weird... I don't like seeing her anymore, Miles... she scares me..."
"How do?"
"She acts- weird. I donno. She's always afraid, and she's always like staring off into nothing."
"She's probably a witch." I joke
"That's not funny, Miles."
"Oh come on. Yes it was."
Flora was always something in knew was mine to protect. She was more important than my own life.
"I'm booorrreeeddd... I want to play with Y/N, but Ms. Grose says her mom just died. So I don't want to bother her. She also said she's here for work, not play."
"That's because she's stuck up."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yup."
"I thought you loved her."
I paused
"Well- yeah. Sometimes. But love can be turned off and on!"
"Do you do that with me? When ever I want to play dolls, you do turn off any niceness?" Flora asks
"Mhm. And I think I just turned off that switch right now."
Flora rolls her eyes
"I'm leaving." She's says leaving the room

My fake smile soon falls to anger once again.
...I know what I must do now...


I closely watch Y/N's chest fall up and down.
She was asleep.
I slowly kneel down next to her head, and look at her facial features.
To think that she had people that actually found interest in her, surprised me. Beauty can be subjective, but it surprises me how blind people are to real beauty.

"You deserve to die." I whisper as she sleeps
"And I'll make sure that promise will be made soon enough..."
I slowly stand up again, noticing Kate leaning against the door frame.
"What are you doing in here?" Kate sneers
"Raping and murdering this girl, isn't that quite clear?"
I answer
"You're so funny, Miles. Let just hope that stays a joke."
I smile
"I guess we'll see."
Kate's face quickly turns to worry
"Leave. Now. Get out." She demands.
I exit the room with a smirk plastered on my face.
