internal struggle came to a screeching halt when his hand heated up in mine. My mind screamed in agony from the pain, but my body went on without flinching.
In one quick motion Cayden whirled me around to face him. He took my chin in his heated hand and jerked my head so I had to look directly in his eyes. I tried frantically to find help, but his grasp allowed no movement. His hands held my chin in a scorching vice grip.
“I know you’re trying to fight me. I can feel it,” he growled, eyes narrowed.
The darkness thickened as it wound around my thoughts, suffocating me just as a snake suffocates its prey. I strained, attempting to pull my thoughts out of his grasp, terrified of what might happen if the darkness consumed them. I pulled out an imaginary sword in my mind and fought off the evil that tried to capture me. Why was this happening? What was happening? The darkness turned into a phantom dragon, its glowing white eyes penetrating the depths of my thoughts. It snapped its jaws at me as it moved forward, backing me into the recesses of my mind. It was too much; the tiny strand of control I had over my thoughts unraveled.
“Ah, perfect. I like you a lot more when you cooperate with me.”
He let go of my chin, and we walked toward the park. I had to think of a way to break through his darkness without him realizing what I was doing. I had to think of a plan and fast. Oh here’s a plan: Oli get your ass out here now.
“Callie.” Cayden’s aqua green eyes bored a hole in my head as he stared at me intently, his stride not faltering. “Do you know how special you are?”
I shook my head. I’m sure you’ll tell me, Cayden. Trust me, I’m just dying to know, I thought sarcastically.
“Well you are very special. And together we could do great things. Besides the obvious.” He winked, and my stomach twisted sickeningly. “We’d be unstoppable. No one would mess with us.”
Dude has jumped off the sane train and collected plenty of crazy on the way down.
He stopped walking, spun me to face him, and grabbed my chin again. Gently this time. His eyes locked with mine. There was a certain brightness to them. I didn’t fear what I saw but rather felt sorry for him. He blinked and the brightness vanished.
“I bet you knew that in a way. Even felt it. We’d be so powerful.” His eyes never left mine, his expression a power-hungry one.
As if I’d ever be with you now. You lost your chance, bucko. You’re insane. Completely mental.
“Would you like that to happen?” he continued.
No, I internally screamed. “Yes,” breathed my hollow voice.
“Good answer.” He smiled wickedly. He slid his hand to the back of my neck and pulled me closer. His fingers wandered into my hair and sent chills down my spine. His mouth was mere inches from mine. I screamed internally, not wanting his lips to touch mine. I hated feeling powerless. Especially powerless to him. His control over me made me angry. I wasn’t one to be controlled by a man, and I wouldn’t stand for it. My rage grew like a rapidly growing thunderstorm, dangerously savage. He didn’t want to see me angry because I’d totally go all kung fu on his ass. The thought of his lips on mine sent me over the edge. I was enraged. He was not the one I wanted stealing kisses from me. I couldn’t believe I even compared Cayden to Oli. I shouldn’t have feared Oli at all.
With all the strength I could muster, my thoughts broke through the darkness he had shrouded me with, and I belted a scream that would have put every horror movie to shame right into his face. His eyes grew wide in shock at the realization I was no longer under his control. The last bit of darkness fizzled from me, and without a second thought I kneed him right between his legs. He cried out in agony and fell to the ground from the blunt force I inflicted. Justice.
While his attention was more focused on his pain, I fled. I couldn’t go back to find Oli; Cayden would look there
