Predator and the prey

Chapter 14.

Elliana's POV

I wake up and Ronnie is passed out next to me, his arms still around me. My head pounds as I slowly sit up. What in the actual fuck? Is the only thought going through my head. I stand up out of bed and go to the bathroom finally noticing a bandage over my vein in my left arm. I need answers, and I need them now.

" Ronnie. Ronnie wake up." I say shaking him awake and he jolts awake sitting up and grabbing me

" Jesus kitten... is everything okay? What's wrong?" He asks and I pull out of his grip and step back

" no it's not. You mentioned Andy would be back. How do I know for certain you didn't plan all of this?" I ask him folding my arms and he stands and sighs rubbing his head and pulling his hair from his face

" I promise babygirl I'm not. Andy did all of this purely on his own. I didn't know he was gonna drug you with some bad shit." He said to me coming closer but I back away shaking my head.

" then what's up with this bandage over my arm? What happened. I vaguely remember anything." I say to him looking down trying to recollect my memories of last night.

" even if I told you would you believe me?" He asks sitting in the chair and lighting a cigarette

" maybe. You got cameras in here so I can always ask for the footage." I say to him and he makes a "yeah you're right" face and sighs again

" well, we went out, Andy drugged you, I beat his ass nearly killed him where he sat but you stopped me which is a smart move because then I'd go to jail for kidnapping and also murder so there's that. I drove you back home laid you in bed and went to grab meds to counteract whatever in the fuck he gave you. You lost your shit thought I was some monster kept screaming for me to help you even though I was right infront of you, and as you can see you left some pretty marks on me. You fell to the ground but I caught you took you to the bed and injected medicine into you." He said looking into my eyes and never breaking contact

It honestly sounds pretty believable and even at this point I don't really think he'd lie in a situation like that but I can't be so sure. I can't put all of my trust into him yet.

" I wanna see the footage." I say simply and he nods standing and walking out of the room with me hot on his heels.

He types in a code to a door that leads into an office, the only white room in this house. He sits at the desk and I come beside him. He shows me the footage from last night me clawing punching and biting him. He stood there and took it all never retaliated never once raised a hand. Instead he was gentle, took care of me in the bad trip I had.

I heard the conversation we had after where I admitted I was falling in love with him.... And I honestly can't believe I admitted that to his face but in turn he did the same thing.

" see? Believe me now?" He said looking up at me and I look down at the ground

He stands up and comes close to me pushing me slightly into the bookcase behind me, our bodies close causing goosebumps to rise on my skin.

" let's get one thing straight kitten. I only ever want to hurt you in ways that will in time give you immense pleasure and don't think for a second I would hurt you to the point of betrayal." He says grabbing my neck just enough to force me to look up and into his eyes

I stay silent not knowing what to say. I'm angry, I'm sad, im everything inbetween that not knowing how to feel. He lifts me up and wraps his arms under my ass holding me up. My hands instinctively grab his face and I can't help it but I want, no I need to feel his lips on mine, it's the only feeling to tell me this all isn't a dream and that I'm not dead.

I crash my lips into his our tongues dancing together, as I slide my arms around his neck closing the space between us. A small moan leaves his lips as he carries me back to the room. How can one fall in love with a man that has kidnapped and taken everything from you? I don't get it and these feelings are confusing.. I know I shouldn't have them but I do.

He sets me down carefully his hands still placed on my waist.

" so how are we gonna take this Andy fucker down?" I ask him and he smirks

" kill em. That's the only way." Ronnie says and I step back from him shaking my head

" are you insane?! I'm not killing someone!" I raise my voice at him and he walks over to me his face now serious

" you don't have to but I will." He says lifting my chin up

" no no Ronnie just no. FUCK no. I'm not letting you do that and risking everything." I say to him seriously folding my arms over my chest

" you're not gonna stop me. I have my mind set." He says brushing the hair outta my face

" you're fucking crazy, you know that? I don't even know why I'm falling in love with you." I say scoffing at him

" you better loose the attitude kitten. Andy dead is your way of life. If he lives and breathes and fucking walks that's your fucking life on the god damn line and I am not going to sit here and let you argue with me about it. So be a good girl and keep your fucking mouth shut on this one." He says backing me up against the wall gripping my throat roughly his eyes burning with fire. And it's the type of fire that means he's being serious and I probably hurt his feelings a little when I said that

" yes sir." I say to him and he lets me go and going into the bathroom and I hear the shower running

" well you gonna come or not?" He asks in the doorway now completely naked my eyes rake his body up and down shivering at the sight of him

My heart and feet work in sync and I follow him into the bathroom. I didn't even mean what I said I don't even know why I said it in the first place. I step into the shower with him he takes the shower head down and runs it over my hair and body. He proceeds to wash my body then my hair. I step out of the shower and dry myself off and he finishes up.

I go out into the room to find an outfit for the day, I decide of a black pair of leggings and a cropped white tank top. I throw my hair into a ponytail and add just a little mascara and lip gloss. As I put on my necklace I find myself staring out the window day dreaming, dreaming of what my life was like, before all this happened... I wondered what Dani was doing, and how I missed Juno's warm fuzzy cuddles. I miss my own bed in my own room in my own home, but with Ronnie in the picture I'm not going anywhere and quite frankly even though I miss everything I honestly don't know if I'd wanna go back. Crazy right?

Ronnie walks out of the bathroom in nothing but a towel, as he's drying his long dark hair. He comes over to me and wraps his arms around my waist pulling me close and honestly I don't fight him.

" what's wrong?" He asks me kissing my shoulder before going to the closet and finding himself some clothes.

" just day dreaming.." I tell him simply not wanting to bore him with the details.

" mm about what?" He hums as he exits the closet throwing on his black t shirt

" it doesn't matter I'm stuck here anyways right?" I say maybe a little more harsh than I wanted it to be

" well technically speaking yeah you are. Even if you did find a way out Andy would just find you and kidnap you again." He said shrugging a little and standing in the door way waiting for me to follow so I do.

" right. So it doesn't matter." I tell him walking past him and down the stairs and I can hear him sigh as he follows me down

God I just wish I could choose one mood and stay in it. I hate my emotions being tossed around like a salad, but I guess that's what happens when you catch feelings for your kidnapper then realize you shouldn't have those feelings even though they feel so right. At this point right here I'd rather be dead.
