Tried
Adea
I don’t know what was going on with Korra but I knew it had to do with him. He was the reason she was where she was. I could feel it as she could feel the pain I was feeling. I didn’t want to watch him. I didn’t want to see him. I knew coming into this room with Ethan that nothing would ever be the same for me again.
I knew I would never feel safe again when he came in here, but I hadn’t prepared myself for him to tear through my safe space. I wasn’t ready for him to tear through my memories with him. I wanted to do something, say something that would stop him, but that time had passed. I provoked him. I made my bed, now I had to lay in it.
I couldn’t do anything. I was paralyzed where I sat. You know when you have those dreams where you can’t move? The ones where you can’t do anything, you can’t move, but you can move your eyes? That’s how I felt. It was like I was in a dream I couldn’t wake up from.
All I could do was watch Ethan as he tore through my room. He walked over to the nearest bookshelf and began to shove books off of the shelves. They fell to the floor as he started on another. He went from that to grabbing books and ripping them in half to tearing the physical bookshelf from the wall.
This was the beginning of my happily ever after.
The day I had wished for as a child had arrived. Only nothing was as I thought it would be. The sound of paper tearing and wood splintering was the start of it. Every paper that fell to the ground brought me a minute, a second closer to what awaited after this fit of his. When he was done ripping every shelf off the wall and it lay broken on the ground he headed for the curtains.
Nothing would be safe tonight, not even me. Ethan pulled them down and ripped it in half before discarding it. The only thing left standing was the bed and I knew why. He turned to me, his anger slightly appeased by the destruction he’d caused. He walked towards me, grabbed me, and threw me over his shoulder.
“You’ve treated me like a villain over and over again. No matter what I do that’s all I’ll ever be to you. So why bother? I’ll have no choice but to rise to the occasion. Look here, Adealine. All of this, all those times you had with him here are over,” Ethan said.
My hair fell down all around me and tears pricked the corners of my eyes. I wasn’t going down without a fight. I kicked wildly but his arms wrapped around them and held me still. When I couldn’t kick anymore, I hit and scratched his back. I dug my nails as deep as I could and wasn’t satisfied until I drew blood.
When he didn’t cry out, it made me frantic. I could feel the panic flood in as the blood rushed to my head. I was thrown onto the bed. My head pounded as the blood evened itself out. I scrambled around as I tried to sit up. The bed dipped and I was pinned down as Ethan got on top of me. Fear had adrenaline pumping through my veins.
I lifted my hand and brought it across his face as hard as I could. He froze for a second before he threw his head back and laughed. That wasn’t the effect I was hoping it would have on him. He looked down at me as his body lowered over mine. He was hard and that was the last thing I wanted him to be.
I wanted him angry. I would rather have him hurt me than touch me. He lowered his head and when I realized he was going to try and kiss me I turned from him. He grabbed my chin and forced my face back so that I had no choice but to look at him. He smashed his mouth against mine and I did everything I could to break free.
I bit down on his lip and he cursed as a metallic tang filled our mouths. He ground his hips against me and moaned as if it turned him on further. His tongue darted in and coerced mine into a dance. His mouth was hot and his saliva on my lips and mouth made me sick.
I tried to push him away but he was too heavy. I scratched and tore at his arms but it did nothing to deter him. One of his slimy hands made its way up my thigh while the other squeezed my breast. When he finally released me from his forceful kiss I gasped for air. He leaned down and trailed kisses down my neck.
“I’ve waited for this night for years,” Ethan murmured between kisses. I grabbed his face and tried to push him away, but he leveled me with a look that told me it was useless. “I tried to be patient, but you had to ruin everything. You did the one thing that you weren’t supposed to and you gave him what was mine. So keep fighting, Adealine. I love it when you do.”
