“Stay away from me!” I loudly screamed and tried to back up. My legs kicked at him as my butt fell into the driver's seat
He sighed with an annoyed look on his face. “No, you’re coming with me and that’s final.” He firmly stated as he forcefully grabbed one of my legs and effortlessly pulled me out of the car.
His hand latched onto my upper arm with an iron grip and he began dragging my flailing struggling body up the overgrown cracked cobblestone path leading to the ominous-looking house. The rain and lack of lights made it extremely dark and difficult to see anything, causing me to stumble when we reached the first wooden step that led up onto the front porch.
I dug my heels against the old worn-out planks as he tried to pull me inside through the large front door. Tears fell from my eyes and screams came from my lips as I latched my hands onto the splintering door frame.
“Buttercup...” He growled out. “You’re being ridiculous...” He moved his grip from my upper arm and wrapped his hands around my torso, pulling me up so that my feet were lifted off the ground.
“Let me go!” I screamed and plead with fear, as I desperately tried to hold on.
“No... Now get inside!” His voice was again more of a growl as he forcefully yanked on my body.
My knuckles turned white and it felt as if my hands might break. Old white paint chipped beneath my black fingernails as my grip gave out and I was pulled into the darkness. A big strong arm firmly locked my back against his chest, and I heard the door quickly shut behind me.
With a click he flicked on a dusty old table lamp, revealing a large but dingy antiquated foyer with a double-height ceiling. The maroon walls had water stains and were in desperate need of a new paint job. A large dark wooden staircase with intricate carvings curved up from the right side of the foyer, and led to a balcony that framed the room. A dusty crystal chandelier hung above us like frozen glittery teardrops draping mournfully from strings. There was a double-wide archway leading to what I assumed was the living room straight ahead, and a smaller one on the left that I could tell led into a kitchen.
I stood there, soaking wet, extremely drunk, and trembling with fear. Long raven locks of dripping hair fell over my shoulder and tickled against my arm, as Ashton leaned his face in closer above my head from behind.
“You can relax, you’re in no danger here.” He calmly spoke into my ear while using his free hand to brush up and down my arm.
The glow of two large yellow eyes reflecting against the light suddenly appeared in the shadows of the living room. My eyes grew wide with fright and my body stiffened against Ashton. A huge black wolf emerged from the darkness with a growl and came charging over to us.
Not in danger he says!? ...Not in fucking danger!?
Was he actually going to let that thing attack me!? I screamed and covered my face in terror as I braced myself for a violent and painful death. The snarling wolf leaped up at us, it’s massive size towered over my small frame. This is it, goodbye cruel world...
The sound of puppy dog licks and deep laughter suddenly echoed throughout the room. I carefully peeked my eyes open. “Down Belzar, down.” Ashton laughed while pushing the wolf off of him using the arm that wasn’t busy constricting me. The wolf backed down with a small yip and happily wagged its tail. I looked at it with befuddlement in my wide wary eyes, and it looked back at me with intelligent almost human-like curiosity. “Good Boy!” Ashton lovingly praised.
“This is my dog, Belzar.” He said to me while smiling and gesturing towards the dog. “Don’t be frightened by him, he’d never harm... you.”
I stood there now shivering from being cold and wet and also from fear. His strong arms suddenly threw me over his shoulder, with a large hand placed firmly on my butt, and he began to ascend up the tall curved staircase.
Belzar licked his lips and let out a small whine, as he watched us leave with his big yellow eyes. I wanted to kick and scream, tell this homicidal douche bag to take his filthy hands off me, but I knew better than to attack a dog owner in front of their dog. I certainly didn’t want that terrifying thing ripping me to shreds.
We disappeared down a long hallway with a worn scarlet rug and fancy but old wooden paneling, that was decorated with dusty paintings of nature scenery. He then turned into a good-sized and surprisingly very clean bathroom. The walls were half wood and half old peeling wallpaper with a green victorian design. Grey tile stretched across the floor, and everything inside looked like an antique. A large beautiful claw foot tub rested next to a tall bay window with potted plants and candles on the windowsill.
“You need a bath.” He stated as he gently placed me down. “It will help to calm your nerves, plus you’re filthy.” His eyes glanced up and down my body with a smirk.
...Well, I certainly couldn’t deny that. After what He’d just put me through, I was all disheveled and covered in muddy grass stains. He walked over to the tub and started the water, then began lighting the candles that rested on the windowsill.
I didn’t know what to do... Should I make a run for it? If my drunken ass did manage to make it back downstairs would that “dog” attack me before I could even get out the door? I was honestly too scared to try anything. This guy had just killed someone not even an hour ago and I was a witness. Who knows what he’s capable of...
I heard the water stop and looked over. “Alright, it’s ready. You can climb on in.” He said as he got up and walked towards the door. He turned off the light, leaving the room dimly lit by the candles, and gave me a seductive wink with a flirty smile as he walked out.
What a psycho...
It might have been the alcohol or the fact that I was freezing... Okay, it was defiantly the alcohol, but I found myself rather tempted by the hot steaming water. I carefully peeked out the door to make sure that he was really gone. The coast seemed all clear, so I began undressing out of my cold soaking wet dirty clothes.
My naked body slowly slid inch by inch into the hot deep bath. The steaming water brought heavenly warmth to my freezing skin. My eyes closed and a small smile found its way to my lips. I was instantly so relaxed that almost forgot where I was and how I got there.
“You look peaceful.” I deep voice said, ripping me out of my peaceful moment.
