46 Hell struck times (2/2)

Seb tripped on her feet but balanced herself.

She immediately turned at him confronting violently,”What do you think you're doing?”.

”You don't get to decide every time Belle”, Iven said deeply. His face had darkened. Seb didn't like it.

-I do, since it includes me!

-If I wouldn't have sent them, think what would have happened...

He launched towards her, grabbed her arm and lifted up her sleeve. It had bruised pretty bad. He left it and looked at her. He knew it all this time,”This.....and more of it...”

-No, I would be home long time ago.

-You...would be in Iason's den!

-I can defend myself without protection...

-Even with it, did you do it? Even with Yuka and others around, how many of your body parts have been vulnerable??? You could even have lost your eye!

-But I didn't, did I?

-You could have!!! That's the point dammit! Can't you be obedient just this once?

-The point is, you need to stop. Stop treating me like some one who's in distress and is hapless. I'm not used to it all!

-You're not. But I need to keep an on Iason.

-That's all for it. Even that's why you joined the college.

-Yes!!! Yes I did!!! What wrong did I do? I can't let him hurt you! Not more of some one I care for!

-But my privacy is being invaded...

-I can't Belle. You ask me to trust you, but I beg you to have some faith in me. Iason, will stop at nothing...he's got no weakness!

-He's just another lunatic with your face, not worth getting afraid of.

-He's not me!!!!! He murders people!!! He takes what he wants, else destroys them!

-I don't want to know the details Iven, no more spying on me!

-I can take no risks Belle, sorry...

Seb lost it,”Am I some kind of toy?...”, she murmured looking down,”...Why do I have to be under your care?”.

Iven was taken aback by her change in the mood. Seb continued,”Even being depended on you, do you know how hard it is for me? Being treated in someone else's shadow? When I've been through everything already since young age?”.

”Belle...stop it”, Iven raised his palm at her. It didn't work. Seb was walking at him.

”Is it fair to be treated as a belonging? Being obsessed over so much???”, she was almost near him.

”Belle....stop I said”, he said again.

”You say you want to be with me” , Seb went on,” Can't you understand me just a bit? Why do you do this huh???”, Seb suddenly pushed Iven on the chest,”Isn't it tough enough for me to be like this to someone I care for so much huh???”, she pushed him again. Iven raised his hand in surrender, gesturing her to stop,”Belle....stop”, but no use.

”You enjoy this?”, she said,”Tormenting me? Even though I've been so loyal to you this whole time? Answer me!!!”, saying she pushed him real hard.

Iven finally lost control of his temper he's trying to hold back for so long.

His body reflexes took impulse on i's own.

He suddenly grabbed Seb's wrists and applied all his physical weight on her.

Seb was weak as it is as she tripped on her steps backward and fell down. Iven still on top of her, holding her down without a chance of motion.

His eye's burned, gritted his teeth.

He was completely forcing himself on Seb without the slightest care.

He brought his lips to her ears and spoke. his tone so familiar...it was from before. It was him...Lucifer!

”You belong to me!”, he said,”You're my woman, your everything belongs to me. Without my permission, you can't die either. So you do as I say...you understand? Else I've ways to make you...”

Iven didn't finish his line as he felt something.

His chest was in direct contact's with Seb's. He felt her heartbeat.

It was abnormally fast...why it was so quick, that too in such a short amount of time? He didn't even do anything.

He lifted his face and looked at Seb's.

Her eyes were shiny and frozen.

He recalled that face. He knew it very well.

It was from when he first acted with violence to her...did it....no it can't be....does she still harbors it in herself?....Did that incident scar her?.....leaving her with such a trauma?....That's why she was so quick to response to his wild acts?.....She still couldn't let go of it from within?.....

He did it again...

Even though he promised he would never hurt her.....

She was right.....this is clear obsession...

Iven calmed down and immediately let go of her and sat away from her.

Seb took time to breath out her trauma....she kept lying for a while. She sat up after few moments. Iven didn't look at her for the time being.

”Don't recall the old me back Belle please”, he said whispering,”I don't want you to go through same hell again. You're someone I can't live without, I need you! I just want to protect you.”

Seb took time to reply to him.

”I thought I could change you Iven...”, She said with a cracked voice,”...but falling for you....only ended up bringing the Lucifer back all over again.”

Saying she didn't waste a single minute and hurried from the door out.
