Chapter 5

• —But who the hell do you think you are to treat me like that?!
• I tried to shake him off me but I couldn't do it, his strength is colossal, no ordinary person could have as much strength as he possesses. His hand keeps squeezing my neck harder, I was beginning to lose consciousness when suddenly he lets go of me.
• I start coughing and rabidly look for Dalton but, he was gone, 《What the fuck was that》My mind tries to find an explanation an answer for what just happened, but the only thing I can think of is that that family is insane. very insane!!!. I left the bathrooms and ran to the classroom where again the teacher reprimanded me for being late but that didn't matter to me now because he is just looking for an explanation for Dalton attacking me in the bathrooms, I thought I was going to die.
• When classes were over, I ran to my father's car, he saw that I was nervous and asked me if something had happened but I told him that I was just tired, lying is not my thing, but for his sake it was better that I did it right or I would have serious consequences for him, if they are capable of doing those things to me, I don't want to imagine what they would do to him.
• When he started the car, I jumped with fright when Dalton appeared in front of my window, he was smiling and dad was surprised because he didn't see him coming.
• —You're our neighbor, aren't you?
• —Yes, I'm Dalton Baltimore. My parents spoke very well of you. —My hands tremble when I feel him looking at me for seconds. —Mr. Hernandez, I don't want to bother you, but could you give me a ride home, my car broke down and my cell phone has no battery, so....
• —Of course you can, get in.
• A cold sweat slowly trickles down when I feel him touch my shoulder, my father doesn't notice and drives down the road unaware of the demon he just put in our car, he could attack us at any moment and leave our bodies deep in these woods and we would only be like others who disappeared in this remote town.
• When we arrived home safe and sound and he got out of dad's car I insist him to get in but Dalton entertains him conversing, and that's when my body trembled with just a touch, a shiver runs through me when I feel a warm breath on the back of my neck.
• —You don't know how much I want you.
• It was him, Antton, he was behind me whispering to provoke me and he was succeeding, I turned quickly but he was gone, suddenly I heard his voice in the distance calling my father and he acts as if nothing had happened, he was so fast that no one, not even his brother noticed that he just told me something, the way he acts baffles me as he pretends as if nothing has happened.
• —I guess she is his daughter. —I freeze when he talks about me —Hi. I don't think you remember me but I'm Antton, the one who saved you twice when you got lost in the forest.
• What? What do you mean he saved me if he was about to kill me, I was stunned that he acted as if he didn't know me, as if we had never spoken before. I couldn't stay here any longer, so I went into the house without answering him.
• —She's a little shy. —Dad said in my defense.
• —I guess she doesn't like the changes very much. —She'll be a beautiful girl when she grows up. —my heart skipped a beat when I heard him call me beautiful.
• —That's why I protect her. —Dad is curt. —Be careful not to go out at night, it's dangerous and even more so in the woods.
• —We'll keep that in mind, Mr. Hernandez.
• I pale when Antton looks where I was, I slam the door and wait for dad, he came in shortly and told me he thought he was in my room. My insecurity to go upstairs was growing as surely he must be upstairs, he was clear when he said he wanted me and I'm sure not in the way any girl my age expects. 《He wants my blood, that's all》.
• I stayed downstairs to chat with dad so I could avoid going up to my room, we stayed up late eating dinner and watching a movie but when I was laughing, I heard some snoring, dad fell asleep. I have to understand, he was getting tired and doing his best for my well—being.
• I continued watching the movie and it was almost over, the window curtain moved and that's when I felt someone sitting on my left side, I froze because I knew it was him, Antton.
• —What are you doing here? —I whisper with my heart racing.
• —Shh!
• I squint my eyes when he takes my hand, I turn to see him and his face made my heart even crazier and it doesn't stop beating while it tries to come out of my throat, everything gets worse for me when he intertwines our hands and stares at the TV set.
• I feel like I'm in a stupid and crazy dream, I don't know what the hell is happening to me, I just know that I was somehow strangely happy for this moment, who wouldn't be happy to be with a college boy holding hands while watching a movie. But what upset me is that and made me nervous is that dad could wake up at any moment.
• I wanted to see him and know what his expression was but I was immobile because I was afraid of waking Dad up and him seeing him here, it would kill me if that were to happen.
• —Waiting for your master, deserves a punishment little girl. —Punishment? Just thinking about punishment made me remember what happened last night. I inhale deeply as his breath burns my skin, his lips were on my neck —I want you... Do you... want me to?
• Those words were like a key to my lips as a yes, came out of my mouth, I know what he means but my body burns like hell wanting him to. Like two sharp needles I feel them piercing my skin, it doesn't hurt like before and instead I felt excited.
• —Serena...
• My heart froze when I hear Dad....
