“Listen to me; I can make this pain go away.” Cliff said beside me, his voice sincere, eyes soft.
“How?” I cried, tears dripping from my chin. I was able to be brave when he asked me questions and when my lip was split open, but this was something different. My mouth pulled again and a strange noise came from the back of my throat.
“I came here to make a deal with you, Olivia. You’re changing, and if you let me, I can help you. I can get rid of this pain and you can be mine. In return, Mark will be safe.”
I fought to stay coherent, fought against slipping into the pain filled darkness. “Yours?”
“Yes.” His fingers brushed against my face. “It’s your choice, Olivia. Be mine and Mark will be safe. This pain will go away and you can be…normal.”
A snapping noise came from my body and I suddenly fell to the ground. My hands dug into the carpet as it felt like my back began to pull apart.
“Make it stop!” I pleaded.
Cliff dropped to his knees beside me. “Tell me we have a deal, Olivia?”
The pain was too much, but I had to think. The only thing I could really hear was that I could be Cliff’s, the pain would go away, and Mark would be safe. The pain would go away if I just said yes. But…could I be his? “If I don’t?”
A sigh filled the room and something burned in his eyes. “I’ll continue hunting Mark and…your family will be in danger.” His voice lowered softly at the last part.
I gasped, falling over to my side where my hands reached through the air for something, but I wasn’t sure what. My mind buzzed with noises…and smells.
“My family…has nothing to do…with this!” I cried.
“They will unless you say yes.”
“You’re a monster!” I began to pant heavily.
“It’s not just me who makes the call, Olivia. Please, just say yes.”
“If I do?”
“Your family will be safe, Mark will be safe, and you won’t become a monster.”
“What am I becoming?” My mouth suddenly opened as large as it would go and a sound erupted through my lips.
“A monster,” Cliff whispered, his lips next to my ear. “Please, Olivia. Just say yes.”
Tears fell from my eyes and my legs began to throb, feeling as if they were twisting, too.
How could I not say yes?!
“Okay! Okay! We have a deal. I’ll become yours, Cliff, just make this stop!”
My body began to jerk without my control and my airways felt as if they were getting cut off. I glanced once towards Cliff who hesitated, staring at me to make sure I meant my words before his eyes closed and he leaned closer…
Another snapping sound came from my body and it jolted, pain filling every pore of my body. I couldn’t stand this! I screamed at the top of my lungs. When would he make this stop?
“Cliff!” I screamed as loud as I could…
...My body jerked one last time and then I didn’t recognize who—or what—I was anymore…
