EPISODE 6
NIGHTMARES
EMERALD'S POV
"Are you looking for me darling?" Draven stood in front of me, his clean scent filled the entire place. I was also getting used to that stupid scent, his broad shoulders filled the space. "Stay the hell away from me" I swore at him and turned away but he drew me back and pushed me against the wall harshly, I felt pain at my back. "You don't get to turn your back on me, darling" he smiled, but I knew better than to fall for those fake smiles that meant something completely different. I swear if he doesn't stop calling me darling I'm going to get a fucking doll on his face and stab it to death right on his face. He released me and straightened up, I stepped back to an arm's length, there is no way in hell he would get the chance to trap me again. My head was screaming at me to run, but to a lunatic like Draven, he gets on by my vulnerability and I'm positive he would chase me. The physco would enjoy it too. " What do you want from me?" I glared at him keeping my voice as low as I could. "You mumured something about not meeting me this morning, did you?" He arched his brows. "So?" I lifted my chin not wanting him to see how much I was shivering inside. " I just wanted to remind you of what would happen if you defy me, and this time I won't be holding myself back".
"Look Draven", "It is King" He hit the wall besides us so loud that the other students stopped to gaze at us and I shivered. I knew I promised myself not to give in to this monster in front of me, but knowing what he capable of doing I prefer not to aggravate him more than he is. The ball was rung, I took a deep breath of joy, at least he would let me go to attend my class. "Don't keep me waiting, darling" his eyes were pure black, I swear he had no sort of emotions at all. He turned and left, all the students kept on throwing suspicious glances at me, the girls looked like they wanted to strangle me in one touch, I was doomed I felt it but no matter how scared I was there was no fucking way in hell I was going to meet him after school. Imagine if he decides he wanted to continue from where he stopped. "Em" Katty ran towards me happily. "What's up, Best?" I smiled at her as she handed my phone over to me and I stared at her in shock. "How did you do that?" My eyes filled with surprise. Draven didn't return my phone since that day at the hall, I was too busy avoiding him to actually ask him for it. "I spoke with Cole" she smiled. "And he gave you the phone?" my eyes widened. "Not easily" "so you guys cool now?" "Not really" she trailed off " he is still an asshole"

In The Night
At Home
LITTLE EMERALD'S POV
.....................PAST ....................
"Help me!" the same voice from the basement called out, fear gripped me as drops of water made terrifying noises. Ma would be here soon and she will tie me up again if she finds out I wandered off to the basement. Ma doesn't like it when I go near the basement, whenever she sees me here she gets angry and I see demons in her eyes. A shadow crossed me and there was noises of foot steps coming from the basement. I hugged my little teddy tightly, "they are demons, they have found us" I shivered. "Come to us let us in" they screamed at me dragging me in. "No, no. Let me go! Ma, Da !"
................PRESENT.......... MORNING (4AM)
EMERALD'S POV
I jerked up from the bed sweating profusely, I had the same set of nightmares again. I put on the lights as quickly as I could. The three things I feared so much was water, basement and darkness. I couldn't stand those three because sometimes it felt like I was being suffocated and those things from my nightmares was after me again. "Honey, are you ok?" Mum and Dad barged into my room and stared at me terrified. I drew the blankets close to my chest but mum rushed to my side and held me tight and I sobbef in her arms. "They were after me again" I cried holding her like my life depended on her.
RICHARD'S POV
Rose came into the bedroom 10 minutes later after I excused Emerald and her to have their normal daughter to mother talk. "How is she doing?" I stared up in tension requesting for an answer. "She's fine now but she couldn't sleep so I got her, her favourite book and she's using it to stay awake " Rose replied sitting next to me on the bed as she ties her hair up in a high ponytail. "Do you think she would remember?" I sighed. "If she finds out the truth she will be terrified Richard, I think it's best to keep her memory is hidden for now. Maybe, if she wasn't pushed in the first place her memories would have still been in place but I can't watch her suffer for the terrible things that happen which was she was just 4 years old"
"Then, I'll suggest that she goes to see a doctor tomorrow once the sun sets, if the nightmares and trumas comes back, then she's going to need to see her private therapist maybe he can help her seduce the nightmares again like he did before" I replied. "Richard, what's the deal about coming back to this town?, I really don't get it if this place aggravates Em's memories, then why come back?" "I need to finish what I started, the war isn't over yet. I have no plans in hurting the son anymore, I just need to pay him back for a little favour" I smiled. "I really hope you know what you're doing, because it's been years, you'll probably be putting Emerald in danger by sending her to that school". "My Em is a fighter, she needs to overcome her fears, that's what runs in the David's blood!"
........ MORNING .........
EMERLAD'S POV
"Honey are you sure you don't want to stay home today? We can talk to your principal" Dad kept on giving me worried looks. "Dad for the 56th time, I'm fine! Really this isn't the first time am having these nightmares" I rolled my eyes, typically I had worse nightmares than these but I just don't tell them in order to avoid them putting up a show like they are right now. "Fine but we are going to see your therapist after school". "Alright" I said finishing my last plate of beacon eggs and my mind wazzled to Draven, I should have taken Dad's offer to stay home today, I refused Draven yesterday when he told me to meet him after school, I had a really simple plan and it is just to avoid Draven all day long, I really don't need his attention at all. I strided through the school's entrance corridor not really minding anyone at all, I was still searching for Kathy the same scent came back, Draven's clean scent. "You ran away from school yesterday" he stood in front of me, his hands inside his pocket in a stylish manner.
"I didn't run away, I had a family emergency" I lied, as soon as the lie came out I felt like giving myself a high-five, Draven stared at me up and down his gaze lingers on my left bre*st as if he wants to shoot lasers from his eyes and burn a whole there. "I think you are lying Emerald" he snorted. I stared at him angrilly, "guess what Draven, I don't care what you think". "You should, what I think will have an impact on you, darling". "Stop calling me that!" I glared at him "I am not your darling!". "You are whatever the fuck I say you are, darling". I took in deep breath to calm myself down, as I turned to leave a strong hand grabbed my arms and pulled me back so hard that I barged into his chest and he gripped me immediately. "Did I permit you to go?" He raised an eyebrow as I struggled against him.
"I don't know if you noticed but I am not one of your servants, your majesty. I don't follow your orders". "Let's see about that". He released me but only to have his hand over my waist and on my back making it seems like we are lovers, we are so damn close that I got intoxicated by his scent, I pushed and tried wiggling myself out of his hold but he doesn't even burge, is he some kind of a superman?" "I panted heavily, "let me go", "should I?" "Why shouldn't you ?"I fired back. "I love seeing you struggle " he said and I stayed completely still. He ain't getting any more struggles from me" "I'm going to warn you for the last time, you know what I'm capable of, quit pushing me" his black eyes stared directly at mine as if trying to penetrate me. "What do you even know about me?" I asked calmly. "A lot more than you think" his hands grabbed my jaws roughly.
"I swear, it's either you let me go or..." "or what ?" he sparked. "You can't do fuck! Do I need to remind you that I am the king here?" Memories from my dream brought back unshed tears but I breathed them in. I'm not giving him the satisfaction of seeing me cry. "I can have any pussy I want, what's so special about yours?" his left eye twitched. "That you can't have it!" I bite my lips as the words escaped my mouth, I regretted saying it. "Em" he released me and stepped back, I was still in shock that Draven let me go he placed his hand in his pocket again appearing casual "show me the mark" "what?" "Show me the mark that I saw last time, don't act like an idiot" "you are out of your mind" I turned around to run. "If you take one more step I'll chase you darling, and this time..." he trailed off as his voice deepened "I won't stop"
