Michael & Amanda <- continued from here
He wanted to say something to her, actually feeling the urge to talk, an urge he hadn’t felt in a long time, but upon trying to form words, all he could spit out was blood. Almost having a coughing fit, he decided to talk was not an option and for once he wasn’t happy about that.
He felt so vulnerable right now and he hated it. What he hated more was the look in Amanda’s eyes, or more how she couldn’t look him in the eyes. This wasn’t her fault, he chose to do it, he chose to disobey the Entity once more, refusing to do what it told him to do.
The pain wasn’t as bad as the humiliation. His mask had been stolen, making him feel exposed. He didn’t feel like he was complete, yet the feeling wasn’t as strong as always. Maybe it was her presence, but he wasn’t sure. There were many things he wasn’t sure about regarding Amanda.
He noticed how she had gripped his clothes, the death grip, how she didn’t let go until realized how tight she was holding onto him. She seemed so different the last time he saw her, a glimpse of fear in her eyes. Did the Entity do this to her? He wondered what kind of torture it gave her.
Michael looked her up and down, noticing the scar on her neck which hadn’t been there before. He could only imagine what happened to her. Judging by the scar it was nothing nice.
The unmasked killer gripped Amanda by the shoulders, making her look him into his eyes. He shook his head, meaning to say: It’s not your fault.
