Summary: His dark obsession took a chilling twist and ruined everything they had
She ran as fast as her legs could carry her, breath coming out in heavy gasps. Hands gripped her shoulders, whipping her around. She cried out as she shoved her against a tree. The rough bark was digging into her back and she whimpered, closing her eyes. He had stepped closer, his breath hot in her ear.
“You cannot leave me, you will not run away again, no one is here to save you, they don’t know where you are.” His laugh was chilling, that of someone who had long since lost every strand of sanity laced through his mind.
“Please,” she whispered, hoping he would just let go. Everything had started happily, they became friends when they were eleven and now, ten years later, there was this.
“I can’t let you go, don’t you understand, I need to be with you, need you by my side, come on darling, let’s go home.”
At the mention of ‘home’ she cried out, violent shivers racking her body as images flooded through her mind, a dark room, chains, shackles, the cradle, the box, so small, too small, and it was his fault, her heart rest at the bottom of the coffin with her newborn son. He was a beautiful baby, but he took him away, unwilling to share her and cast the baby side, chaining her up, forcing her to watch as it cried out, stretching tiny hands towards her, watch as his innocent soul slipped away, leaving him motionless on the hard stone floor.
All her hope, dreams, memories, were lost to her, she could feel the black hole of despair pulling her in further everyday, unwilling to relinquish its hold.
His arms were suddenly ripped away, another man standing behind him, saving her.
“Don’t touch her!” He yelled and forced him to the ground. Her saviour beat him, unable to stop, not willing to stop and she didn’t want him to. She wanted to watch, to see pain inflicted on him as he had done to her but tears blurred her vision.
Everything had fallen silent, the thud of a limp body hitting the ground, and her love walked up, taking her in his arms placing a hand on her flat stomach. A sob caught in his throat and he knew it was too late, their baby was lost, her mind broken, one man’s obsession with her ruining their lives, taking everything away from them. Gathering her closer, they curled around each other, taking what comfort they could in each other, mourning the loss of a child ripped from their lives and hearts.
