1351 Words
" How I possibly being difficult, she spoke annoyed ". " Elizabeth, you have no idea how hard this is “, He responded. " David, she spoke feeling waves of emotions running through her. " " Yes, but I do not know how long it will be me or if I will black out again and have zero control over him. " he spoke as if he were in pain. She just blinked and tried to move her mouth, but no words would come out. " I have to go get some logs for us to sit on, he said breaking the silence. " Elizabeth just stood there not sure what to say as he walked off.    By the time David got back with a rather big log Elizabeth had gotten the fire started and was sitting by it trying to keep warm. David watched as she was eating some snacks from the bag and could see the reflection of the fire burning in her eyes. " Are you cold? " he said disrupting whatever thought's that were going through her head. " Um, a little " she responded. He grabbed a small blanket that was tucked away in the pack and handed it to her. " Thank you, she said awkwardly as she took the blanket from his hands ". She just continued to stare at the fire I guess she was unsure of what to say. " I have some jerky, if you are still hungry, I offered. " She half smiled and nodded I just assumed that met yes and handed her some.    As we sit there by the campfire, she starts telling me that she is not afraid of she just wants to understand my motive. "I have this urge, like I have to have you, I have to feel your warm wet blood on my hands. But your different for some reason I cannot hurt you no matter how hard I try. I look in your eyes and my heart pounds like it is trying to rip out of my chest. I cannot describe this feeling, like a war raging with in me. Apart of me wants to kill you, another part wants to touch your body, kiss you, grab you and make you want me as much as I want you. For a moment time stood still, she just stared at me. Trying to understand. As I stood up and walked towards her, she looked at the ground. I grab her by the arm and ask her to come swimming with me in the lake. Wait like naked, she answered nervously. Well you want your clothes to stay dry, don't you? I answered sarcastically, chuckling with amusement. " Um, she froze “I pulled her to her feet. " I won't look at you " I spoke. " You can keep you under garments on if you want " I also have a shirt and pants you can borrow " I continued. She stood nervously. " Ok. " she said. I walked away turning around to make sure I was not staring. " How respectful of you " a chuckled at the back of my head sounded. " Shut up " I responded then continued to take off my shirt and pants and under garments leaving me bare. I waded into the water it was a little chilly but not as cold as I thought it would be. I could hear Elizabeth's footsteps as she headed towards the beginning of the water. I watched out the corner of my eye as she dipped her feet in testing the temperature. I sort of chuckled for someone who was cold by the fire when it was not even that chilly outside, she is sure going to find this water freezing.  After watching her procrastinate for so long I sent a splash her direction this earned me a death glare from hell. I turned around pretending as if I did nothing just floating along whistling casually before being pushed under by her body wait full force. I splashed back up to the surface playfully wrestling her in the water. We splashed as if we were two kids playing without a care in the world but eventually her laugh faded and so did mine. I looked at her deep in her eyes observing her and slowing my breathe. She was looking at me doing the same. Suddenly a memory flashed through me my heart beating rapidly as I starred at her. The night we kissed, looking at her now like this had me filled with a rush of emotions. " I, I should get out " I stuttered. She blinked and looked away and started to swim towards the shoreline with me. She immediately headed towards the fire trying to get warm, I went to the tent got dressed and grabbed the spare clothes Noah had stolen and gave her them. I looked a way as she undid her bra and took off her underwear. " Such a gentleman ", Noah's voice said huskily at the back of my head. " such an annoyance " I rolled my eyes thinking to myself. " I wonder what she would look like under us " Noah chuckled this time making me incredibly angry. " I'm going to a walk, the tent's all yours, David spoke " " Um. Ok, Elizabeth replied simply ".  By the time I got I got back the fire was still burning so I began to put it out and was greeted with pure moonlight. I peeked inside the tent to see her asleep peacefully wrapped in the blanket I had handed her earlier. I then zipped the tent up for her and set up my sleeping bag and laid there starring at the stars I could see somewhat through the trees. For the first time I felt myself lowering my guard against Noah. I felt myself being able to drift off peacefully without any worries about what tomorrow would bring.    * Next Day * (Elizabeth’s POV)   I woke up hearing the birds singing and looking around the tent realizing that this was not a dream and David and his Persona did in fact kidnap me. Also realizing how stupid I was to let my guard down. " Jeez Elizabeth get a grip " I said to myself. I swam with him partially naked I smacked myself on the forehead. I was acting like a schoolgirl with her first crush. But David was not just some crush. He met something much more to me. I remember trying to visit him all those years ago. I understand that he regrets what he did to his mother and Jackson. I forgave him years ago without speaking to him. I know he cannot help the black out's or the fact that he has this whole other version of him he has no control over. For the past three years I studied psychological disorders curious to understand him. In all honesty I cared for David my whole life. I started to think about our kiss all those years ago when we were just kids. Who knew things could go wrong so fast? Last night brought up all those old feelings with him just looking into those light blue eyes as they consumed my every thought. " David " I thought to myself as I began to sit up and un zipper the tent to see if he was awake. I went out starting the fire back up. I looked over and looked through his supplies. I observed the fishing rods with purpose. I have not been fishing since I was maybe six years old with my granddad on his boat, I smiled at the thought. I hooked the bait and proceeded up the open water. I threw my line out and waited. All a sunned I heard voices. " Well, Well, little lady what do we have here " I jumped turning around dropping the rod. I was face with four men and by the way their faces looked I could just tell they had bad intentions.
