Alexa's palm were stick with blood- her blood she could see it faintly, she squatted beside a cracked rock, her legs shaky and scared
"God.....what is this place" she muttered, barely hearing herself over the gunshots and screaming.
Bodies everywhere. Unmoving and still.
Her vision blurred red, red light liquid sliding slowly across her lashes, she wiped it off, her hands shaking, and then- she saw him
A man. Or something like that
Tall. Calm. Dangerous, covered in aura one resembling that of a devil. His eyes burned red glowing like coals in the dark. Around him a dark fog pulsed alive. His smile? Sick, like he enjoyed every scream echoing
He moved through the chaos like it was nothing. Gunfire didn't touch him. Blood painted on his boots
Alexa ducked behind the rock, shaking" this can't be real....it can't be real" she clutched her chest, breathing too fast
" Wake up.... Wake up"
But it wasn't a dream
The man raised a hand some kind of power- dark, cold, thick like smoke rushed from his palm. The bodies on the ground jerked then froze like puppets with their strings cut
He titled his head, smiling at the silence
That when she moved, just a little just enough
His eyes snapped to her. He saw her
" Shit-" she whispered, sliding lower but he was already walking towards her. Slow but sure. Like he had all the time in the world.
Alexa curled in whispering " no, no, no, no..... Please don't kill me"
He laughed low. Like thunder right before a storm
Then her crouched his hand, wet with blood, lifted her chin
His voice was deep, calm and way too amused
" You're not dead yet sweetheart but keep shaking like that and I just might change my mind"
Without another word, he hoisted her up on his shoulders like she weighed nothing
She screamed, kicked punched trying everything but he didn't even blink just kept walking through that bloody mess like it was nothing
Her breath hitched, body going limp
Then everything went blank
*****
Alexa eyes snapped open. White walls. Big bed the smell of soap. The scent of cologne hit her nose. Water running near by
She sat up slow, heart pounding
The bathroom door creaked
A guy stepped out- wet hair, towel low on his hip, chest bare and wet
Alexa shut her eyes, playing to be asleep
He grinned " Quit pretending. You're not asleep. Except you want to watch me....get dressed"
Her heart hammered louder. She kept still
He laughed " why is your hear racing if you are asleep?"
She didn't say a word just squeezed her eyes shut tighter.
He smirked and stepped closer. Slowly he dropped the towel.
