A/N: As usual, I would recommend putting the video on loop.

"Again, you misunderstand. Obviously, there's an attachment between us," the creature agreed, his nails tapped against the edge of the table. "And, she would be dead if there wasn't. But, you're misunderstanding again. She's my partner, and I decided to save her because of that." Of course, he was leaving out details, but he wouldn't state those to the wretched girl before him. She didn't deserve a full explanation.

A sigh left him. For a split second, disappointment ran through his pale eyes. When it vanished, irritation replaced it. "She has no feelings for me. She wishes to kill me just as much as you do.

"And, I'd be a fool if I thought that feelings for me would ever develop in her. I murdered her best friend and left her in a gruesome fashion. I tore apart her hope of ever living a normal life again, and she has to be always careful not to break her deal with me. If she severs it, she will face a fate of even worse suffering, yet she still plots to kill me.

"If she fails, her agreement is off, and I execute option B. She's risking everything on this plan to kill me, but I suppose that didn't factor into that brain of yours." He tapped his right index finger against his head to mock her before he giggled. "Still, I would think that you would want to tell me her plan. It would bring her closer to option B. She would suffer a fate worse than a quick death."

Haley merely scowled. "You wouldn't be dead, though, nor would you be broken. (F/n) has to die, and it sounds like she wouldn't in this option B. I'm not disclosing anything to you! And, stop making it seem like she has suffered worse than me! She's working with you! Her parents and she are completely safe from the nightmare that is you. Even if she breaks her present deal with you and her parents die, she'll still live."

Shaking his head, the creature wondered how (f/n) could ever tolerate the teen before him. "She may live, but she'll be suffering worse than you. She already is, but she had the heart to push her suffering aside and help you through your problems. And, I'll repeat this; she tried to save you. You're the one who f*cked all of this up, Haley. You're the one who put yourself in this situation.

"Eventually, I was going to find and question you, but you sped up the process. Not to mention that you pissed me off with trying to kill my partner." He giggled. "Really, I'm looking forward to this whole process."

"She still formed an agreement with a human-eating monster! She deserves everything that's coming to her! She still helped you kill my boyfriend! Those facts will never change, and I'll never forgive her. I know what I have to do, and your words won't change that!"

Giggling, the creature pushed himself off of the table. His nails lifted up her chin, and his eyes briefly caught sight of the swelling around her wrists before they turned back to her face. A smirk touched his lips. "Actually, she didn't help me kill your boyfriend." He leaned in close. The tips of his nails dug into her skin, and she winced. Droplets of blood dripped down. "In fact, he's with us right now."

Hope crept into her eyes as they widened. "W-what ..."

"You heard me. Do you want to see him? I know that he would love to see you. It's been so long for the two of you. I'm sure that you would love to wrap your arms around him."

The creature's growing smile returned Haley's senses to her. She lifted her chin up and moved her head back so that the nails wouldn't touch her. Her eyes met the creature's again. "Then, where is he? I don't see him. What are you getting at?" Haley's tone slowly went from confident to terrified.

"Well, I suppose that I can bring him out now. A little reunion never hurt." He giggled and headed over to one of the two bags in the room. The creature crouched and unzipped it. Haley's eyes widened, and he heard her shift violently in her chair, but a loud cry left her due to her wrists.

"No! Don't show me! I don't want to see!" She shut her eyes tight and shifted in the chair, mindful of her wrists. Tears escaped her eyes and hit the wood flooring since she hung her head down.

"What? That doesn't make any sense." He giggled and pulled out a container. "Don't you want to view him? You'll finally learn what exactly had happened to your dear boyfriend." The creature stood up and walked over.

Keeping her eyes closed, she shook her head. "No! I know that he's dead now! That's enough!"

Setting the container on the table, the creature giggled. "A pity that you weren't down in the tunnels. You wouldn't have lasted long, and then you wouldn't be bothering my partner or I. Such a shame." The creature walked around her chair and pulled back on her short, brown locks. Her head was jerked back, but her eyes remained closed. "You would've definitely been one of the first ones to die."

"Just shut up!"

"Well, I will if I eat something."

At that, her eyes shot open, and she tried to look behind her. "No! Don't!" His hand kept her head in place, and she was forced to stare at the container. She froze. Through the clear plastic, she could see the bloody flesh that was still unthawing. "D-d-d-d ..."

"Well, clearly, that's not all of him." The creature giggled more. He leaned over her right shoulder a little and inspected the container more. "I think that's part of the flesh from one of his arms. I'm not too sure, though." His lips moved down to her ear. "Should I open it and double check?"

That snapped Haley out of her horrified stare. "No!" she shouted as she moved her head away from him. "Please, just put the container away! Please!" she begged, tears streaming down her face. She shook her head as though that would erase what was in front of her.

"What's this?" He stepped out from behind her chair and walked up to the table. His nails tapped against the top of it, and he giggled. "You're begging me already? I never thought that you would fall so quickly with all of that talk of yours." Dark blues glared up at him. "Ah, there's that murderous gaze again. Still, this is nothing. You're only seeing a small part of your lovely Dean."

"If you had witnessed what (f/n) had, you would've collapsed in a heartbeat. I doubt that you ever would've left that room. Lucky for you, Dean hadn't been in Laura's place."

"I don't care about Laura! I don't care about what happened to her! Just put that away!" she yelled, her eyes never leaving his. The creature made no movement to follow her demand. "And, I would happily let Laura die over and over again so that Dean could live!"

"And, I thought that I had an obsession with my charming partner," the creature remarked casually before he giggled. "Then again, I think that's mainly because she tastes so good. I'd give you a taste, but someone as divine as her shouldn't be tainted by filth like you." The creature turned his back to her and opened up the container.

"Close that, you disgusting thing! Eat your d*mn b*tch if you're hungry and leave him alone!"

Pausing, the creature left the container partially opened. His right hand clenched, and he giggled for several moments. It was higher pitched than usual, and Haley fell silent. A chill ran up her spine at his laughing. Abruptly, he spun on his heel. The back of his left hand slammed against her left cheek. If he wasn't forcing himself to hold back, he would've knocked her head off, but he had to keep her around for a longer punishment.

Crimson and a tooth flew out of Haley's mouth while blood trickled down the sides of her mouth. A dark mark was already setting on her skin. More tears continued down her cheeks, and her livid gaze never left her. The creature could care less about her stare. Rather, he gripped her chin tightly, and she grimaced. Her jaw wasn't broken, but it hurt horrendously.

"He's already dead, human, and, frankly, he's my food." His voice dripped with venom and was frighteningly lower than usual. "(F/n) is my partner, and if you ever call her that name again, I'll rip out your tongue in a heartbeat." Roughly, he shoved her head back before he returned to the table. The creature's hands gripped the edge, and he leaned over the wooden object.

Countless giggles began to part from him. Haley recovered somewhat, and her heart was still beating crazily. Never had the creature been so terrifying. In that moment, not even his human characteristics had made him appear human. No, only a beast out of one's worst nightmares had remained, and his present giggling wasn't aiding her.

"And, guess what?" His voice returned to its usual high-pitched state. He looked over his left shoulder at her and grinned. She tried to move back in her chair, but the effort was in vain. "I only brought enough human food for my little helper, but I want to keep you fed." The creature stared back to the table. "You should be grateful. I'm sharing my precious food with you."

Haley's breath caught in her throat, and her stomach turned. No words left her, and her gaze shifted downwards. The creature, however, diverted his attention to the bedroom.
