Rescued, but at what cost? Daniel x reader
the time you started to settle in with Daniel..
it was strange, you hated that man so much but now you just feel like you can't live without him anymore... despite the insanity he has changed a lot in your life...
Daniel was confused too when you didn't recoil from his touch, when you started behaving different than ever.. but he was immediately satisfied when you... "finally, you get it... you're.. you.." you didn't even let him finish and just lied your head on his chest with a soft huff.. you didn't want to hear it or be aware of it all, you're tired of being aware all the time, you just want to stop thinking for once.. Daniel smiles slightly at your huff and just runs his hand through your hair playing with a few locks of your strands..
you close your eyes, relaxing under his-now suddenly-comforting touch...
"i love you..." you mutter into his chest, and you surprise yourself by the words you just muttered, you feel him shift under you, his hand gripping your hair just slightly tighter and the other pulling you up closer to his face by your bottom.
your face shifts but not in disgust or fear, but confusion and shyness, he can see your cheeks flushing red as you stare at his eyes, "you act like we haven't done this multiple times before..." he comments chuckling lowly, his hand sliding down your back so both his hands now grabbing your bottom squeezing lightly making you jolt slightly "i.." you try to say something but you just end up sighing and sitting up, now straddling his lap pushing your hair back and looking down at him, Daniel tilts his head at this 'confident' act, his hands grip your ass tighter now making you squirm ontop of him he sits slightly up in an intention of kissing you but a sudden banging sound on the door makes the world around you both stop...
someone at the door? this is.. very unusual, this shouldn't even be happening at all.
Daniel then sits up his face serious, he looks at you as if suspecting something in you he throws you aside on the bed, the banging sound on the door gets louder, more aggressive, he checks the window and you sit there seeing his huge frame, he looks at your face, all scared and confused... his face was feral, the same face he had when he first took you back... "did you call someone?" the question comes out rough, cold, blaming...
when you don't answer he just clenches his jaw tightly grabs his gun and heads to the door... you watch from the bedroom as he steps down with quiet steps, the gun tucked into the back of his jeans ready to be used any moment. you move from the bed, very cautiously step a few steps down the stairs just enough to peek at what's happening..
Daniel opens the door just slightly to see who it is.. turns out it was just an old woman.. you frown slightly as you step down a little more to get a better look, Daniel opens the door wider, his hunched and tensed body relaxes slightly, the hand that was hovering on the gun just rests on the door, ready to slam it shut...
you watch silently the woman is seemingly to ask questions and point around, and Daniel answers, voice low as if hes giving a secret, maybe the woman is lost and he's giving.. directions... makes sense.. he would never want you to know the way out of here... never.
the woman laughs but daniel doesn't, cold to others as always... your curiosity gets the best of you and you try to take one more step to see just the woman's face, but the curiosity kills the cat.. the stairs plank suddenly creaks bringing the woman's attention, she sees your face briefly and frowns but Daniel immediately closes the door slightly preventing her from seeing the inside. your eyes widen in fear and you just run back to the bedroom sitting back on the bed with your body shaking of fear now.. "shit shit shit... no.." you curse under your breath swallowing hard, you're screwed.
the woman looks at Daniel with that frown, she feels like she has recognized you.. she saw you somewhere for sure.. you were one of the missing people who has just disappeared mysteriously... "was.. that your wife?" she asks with a forced smile tilting her head.. Daniel stares down at her, face unreadable but she can clearly notice his clenched jaw. he clicks his tongue turns his head away and just.. slams the door at her face. the woman was stunned by this sudden, rude avoident behavior she steps back as of trying to memorize the place before going the way she was told to go... she already made up her mind now....
as you hear that door being slammed shut you flinch, your heart racing with fear, you can feel your stomach doing backflips, you want to puke or run but your body is too frozen, your eyes wide and fixed on the slightly open door... and slowly that door opens just enough for him to slide in, closes it quietly, takes his baseball cap off, then leans on the door, head tilted up a little, his face looks darker, colder, harsher, even without his cap. you almost couldn't recognize him... your breath becomes shallow from the fear as you start to sob. and he just stares quietly with those empty bloodshot eyes that make you tremble. you cant bring yourself to speak and you try to wipe your uncontrolled tears quickly.
"why are you crying?" he asks with such very unusual calm voice, hes forcing you to admit what you did. you gulp and start to stutter, your lips trembling when trying to speak "I.. i was- i was looking...-" "WHY ARE YOU CRYING!?" his sudden shouting cuts you off making you flinch and sob harder.. "i did some-something wrong.." you manage to say between your gasps and sobs as you just stare down at the bed sheets, vision blurred by your heavy tears. "what did you do?" he asks with that forced calm tone again now stepping a little closer to the bed "i went down the stairs... to.. to see..." your voice now a little more firm, you were trying to get a hold of yourself, you sit up wipe your face and look up at him with a firm face as you hold your tears, he was standing right by the bed now, you're staring at his face but you cant tell a thing about his state. slowly he sits down by the bed edge and just stares at you.
"do you know her?" he asks next and you immediately shake your head. "no."
"then why did you go down?" you stare at him. "no reason... i just.. got curious who was it.." you speak as you shrug like it's a normal thing and it pisses him off just even more, he huffs like an angry bull and you immediately stop talking... he pinches the edge of his nose and sighs then looks up at the ceiling for a second before just putting his cap back on and leaving the bedroom, slamming the door behind him.
you inhale deeply as if you were holding your breath the whole time, you stare down at yourself in disbelief.. he just..left.. no hitting, no punishing.. atleast for now...
meanwhile daniel was outside, smoking a few cigarettes outside by the door porch, a cigarette turns into 2.. then 4... then 6....
he grunts throwing the cigarette into the ground and stepping on it. he knows well he shouldn't be smoking not when youre under his care..
hours pass like this you're still in bed, you don't know what to do or where to go.. but something is telling you that you need to check on Daniel... but since when? since when you started to worry about him?...
you get off the bed, your legs feeling wobbly as you step to the door, your mind is screaming at you to get back but your body feels like its moving on its own... you reach for the door.. twist the handle and step down the stairs, this time skipping the creaking plank carefully, now you find yourself looking through the window, there he was sitting by the stairs of the porch a few cigarettes thrown around him. your heart aches at the view and you dont understand why. gently you open the front door he immediately looks over his shoulder for a second, hides the cigarette pack in his pocket and just turns to stare back at nothing...
seeing this nonchalant response you just approach him, kneel down and.. wrap your arms around him, a hug from behind.. "...come inside.." you mumble as you rest your chin on his shoulder, and he looks at you... really looks as if deciding whether to believe if this is real or just an act from you..
your arms tighten around him slightly and you just pout more... "please?..." you beg.. hopping he'll listen this time.
just as he gets up your arms loosen and let him go and he goes inside without even looking at you.. "huh..." you hum in confusion to yourself, he just went inside without dragging you with him. you were about to stand up but then you see that pack of cigarettes was dropped by the porch stairs, you pick it up.. stare at it for a second before just aimlessly throwing the pack in the grass field across the house... and you look back seeing him watching everything through the window.. a small smile tugs at the corner of your lip... he doesn't return the smile but signals for you to come inside.. but just as you was about to step to the door, you hear sirens coming from the forest, you turn to stare and the next thing you see was police cars parking infront of the farm house-
before you could even react Daniel opens the door and pulls you with him inside slamming the door. he looks irritated but focused as if he knew this will happen. "i should've killed that woman.." his grunts to himself as he pulls you around, ready to escape with you, his grip on your arm was almost bone crushing, but from the panic and the situation you didn't even notice. the police were outside, now surrounding the house and shouting "THIS IS THE COPS, WE DEMAND FOR THE SUSPECT TO STEP OUT, WE KNOW YOU HAVE [Y/N] [L/N], WE'LL GIVE YOU 10 SECONDS TO COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP, OTHERWISE WE'LL FORCE OUR WAY IN." all of the cops were pointing with their guns at the house as they counted down, it was really such tight situation.
Daniel grip you just tighter his mind working and looking for an escape plan.. "5... 4..." you two had only 3 seconds left now, he cant risk get caught.. or losing you.. "run with me.." he says roughly before bursting from the back door, you stumble behind him and fall just as he was about to get you by reaching with his hand, a cop that sprinted out of nowhere shoots a bullet that hit right through Daniel's arm, he hisses and immediately runs into the forest the cop follows after him.. you watch, he has left you behind...
he didn't have a choice. he'll come back... he can never leave you.. you know it...
days pass since the incident.. youre back to your home... and you should feel happy but you dont.. your old friends visit you, happy that youre back to them safely you force a smile every time they say "its good you were rescued from that psychopath." and you'd avoid any questions "did he force himself on you?" "was he hitting you?" "how did he treat you?" your friends' company felt great but it was only momentary.. soon they all stopped visiting and the loneliness quickly caught up with you.... you'd cry in bed, not sure why...
it was different being alone now, you were too used for your life with Daniel.. simple tasks as cooking felt like a burden now.... you hated yourself... you felt lazy and worst lonely... freedom felt different.. perhaps it was great but not anymore... it sounds crazy.. but you miss him... he was right... you do need him... it's insane to realize... you can't believe yourself right now...
that's until one cold night... you hear a light tapping on the window ans just as you turn to see, you notice a familiar form hovering over the balcony door...
