~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I snuck around Ava's house like a predator stalking it's prey. She had no idea that I was there. I had no intentions of returning to my home. I didn't have any doubt that the cops would still be there, waiting for my return.

Ava walked inside through her sliding glass door. She had said that her mother worked until five, so I had about three hours of time with Ava. There's a lot that you can do in three hours...

After I saw her walk up her stairs, I silently opened the door and walked into the house myself. I removed my shoes and left them outside, for I didn't want to track mud and water through the house. I didn't want anyone to suspect I was there.

I snuck around to the table and picked up Ava's cell phone. How had the police gotten here? She certainly didn't call them...

I searched through her text messages and looked at the most recent conversation, at about the time that I had kidnapped her...

Samantha. I knew her. She was afraid of me. Well, now she should be, if she wasn't before.

I set Ava's phone back down on the table just like how I had found it. I stalked up the stairs. I heard the shower running. I smiled to myself. This was simply perfect. It was finally time to prove to her just how much I loved her.

I walked to the bathroom with great caution. I saw her wet clothes on the floor of the laundry room. I continued walking and slowly opened the bathroom door. The room was steamed up, I couldn't even see myself in the mirror. I shut and locked the door behind me as I removed my turtle neck. I gently set it on the ground.

She was humming a sad song to herself as I slowly approached the shower. I could see her silhouette through the shower curtain. Her humming ceased. I froze. Did she know I was in there? She resumed running her hair under the hot water. No, she didn't. I let out a silent sigh of relief.

I slowly wrapped my long fingers around the edge of the shower curtain. I could hear her take a sharp intake of breath as she backed into the wall.

Suddenly, I ripped the curtain open. She screamed as she tried to cover her breasts. I stood there, letting my eyes soak up the sight.

"LUTHER!" she screamed. "I told you that I never wanted to see you AGAIN!"

I lowered my gaze as a smirk tugged its way to my lips.

"And you think your words have some sort of power over me?"

Her eyes widened as I pulled the rest of my clothes off. She violently began shaking her head.

"No. Luther, please, don't do this."

I lifted a brow. "But, I have to show you how much I love you."

"If you do this, it's not love."

I lifted an eyebrow as I stepped into the hot shower with her. The sensation made my skin tingle in ecstasy. She held a hand out in front of her.

"If you know what's good for you, you'll stay away from me."

"I suppose that I don't know what's good for me."

"Yeah, you sure as hell don't."

I closed the shower curtain as I advanced onto her. She turned her head to the side. I slowly wrapped my long arms around her, having to keep an extra tight grip on her because of the moisture on our bodies. To my pleasant surprise, she didn't struggle.

"Well, isn't this easy?" I said to her.

"Luther, I swear to god..."

I gripped her neck and lifted her head up to meet mine. I eyed her lips, craving the taste of strawberry, although her chap stick had worn off of her lips by now. I brought my lips to hers, feeling around them with my tongue. She didn't allow me entrance into her mouth, however. But I didn't need it.

I spun her around and wrapped my arms around her stomach. She tried prying my arms off of her, but the wetness made it nearly impossible. I leaned down and began laying sloppy kisses on her neck. Her breathing became shaky and uneven.

"Ava, I love you, why won't you just believe me?"

"I do. I do believe you, and that's what scares me."

"Why should that scare you?"

She let out a sharp cry as I gripped her thigh. "Because you're different from everyone!" she exclaimed. "Because you're reasoning is that of a five year old. You are deranged, and you know it. This isn't how normal people show affection."

"It's called making love for a reason."

"It's not love if I don't consent. That's called rape, Luther."

I rolled my eyes. "Be quiet, I don't want the neighbors to hear."

I heard her inhale as I whipped her around again and pinned her against the shower wall. Slowly, I slithered my way into her. She gripped my skin as I did so and sucked in through her teeth from the pain I was causing her. I smiled as I breathed heavily into her neck, causing her to whimper.

"I told you no," she whispered in a high-pitched voice.

"I don't care," I growled. I lifted her and laid her down on the bathtub floor, the hot water still showering down on us. I pressed our chests together and forced a french kiss onto her. She didn't reject me this time, allowing me entrance into her sweet mouth.

"Luther, I don't want to do this," she mumbled. "You...you're taking my innocence."

"I took your innocence the minute you laid eyes on me," I snapped. "You should've just ran away from me just like everybody else. But you didn't. Why?"

She closed her eyes and let a choked breath escape her lips. "Because...I thought you needed someone who would be your friend. Just because you were different didn't mean that you had to go on alone." She opened her eyes and glared at me. "But I was wrong. There's a reason no one wants to be friends with you, Luther. It's because you kill everyone in your sight! It's because the things that people say about you..." she shook her head as tears brimmed her eyes. "It's because they're true."

My eyes widened as I slowly pulled my face away from hers. She was right. That was why I didn't have any friends, and why I was doing this to Ava. Because she showed interest at first. Did that mean that I actually loved her? Or was I just fooling myself into thinking that?

"Ava, I-"

Someone suddenly burst in through the bathroom door. Ava and I both froze.

"Luther!" the voice shouted. "I know you're in there!"

The shower curtain suddenly was pulled open, revealing me inside of Ava. Gomez's eyes widened and his face contorted into disgust.

"What have you done?"

So this was like, incredibly awkward for me to write, sorry if it wasn't what you had expected. I have some really juicy stuff planned for future chapters, so keep an eye out. Also, the book is about, I'm going to say, half way done, so once the sequel comes out, it will be on my second account. Please vote and comment!
