"You will not leave me here!" You could hear the rage in Kai's voice as you ran down the neighborhood, smashed glass stuck to your clothes and striking against the palms of your hands.
The cool air fanning onto your skin was a short-lived feeling of relief — relief from the ever-rising tension inside the Anderson house since Kai became paranoid. But now that tension was coming to its peak as he ran after you in intense fury.
You used to believe that Kai cared for you, that he had loved you for at least a moment, but that thought seemed almost foolish now. You knew deep down that he was taking advantage of the fact that you'd been in a lonely, shitty situation; he did that with everyone in the cult. Kai would make anyone feel special when he needed and then on a whim, destroy their self-esteem completely.
You might've had it easier because you were one of his favorites but that didn't mean you weren't out of harm's way because if need be, he'd bruise you for even looking at him wrong — which was becoming increasingly more true the longer he grew paranoid.
Kai had cut you off from the rest of the world for weeks, because he needed you to stay inside so he could 'keep you safe', so that nobody else could touch you or take you away from him like he'd thought might happen. The longer you stayed and obediently waited, the closer you were to being caught in the middle of Kai's violent breakdowns. It was evident that you had too highly estimated your chance to sneak and run away at midnight, met with Kai waiting in the living room with a furious look on his face like he knew from the very moment the idea first popped up in your head what you were going to do. If you stayed, you'd probably end up battered with bruises or worse — hence the broken glass from jumping out the window in what might've been panic, or desperation.
"Come back here, you stupid fucking whore!" Kai continued to yell, heart pounding in your ears.
Your shoes skidded across the pavement as you hurried into the forest to try and lose him; the streetlights didn't help at all with obscuring your figure into the shadows.
You didn't realize just how fast Kai was. To be honest, thinking on it now, you began to figure out just how ill-conceived this 'running away' idea of yours was. You only made a few more long strides into the forest until you were tackled into sticks and rocks on the ground; the breath was knocked out of you and stunned you long enough for Kai to restrain you against the cold ground.
"You thought you could get away, bitch?" Kai grunted as you struggled against his weight. "Nobody gets away from me. Especially not you."
You let out sounds of struggle, trying to push his weight off of you, to no avail — Kai wasn't going to let you go anywhere now. He turned you over, your head tilted away from him and your eyes shut tight. It was crazy how fast he could reduce you to nothing so quickly, making you cower.
"Open your fucking eyes."
He pulled roughly at your hair and you let out pained cries, forcing you finally meet his manic, deranged gaze. There was a viciousness to it that you had never seen so intensely before. Kai was beyond pissed off. He looked at you like you were a conspirator against him just like he started to do with everyone else.
"You working with the cops? Talking to other people when you shouldn't be?" Kai tugged on your hair again when you didn't speak. "Answer me!"
"No! No, no, I haven't, I swear!"
"You swear?!" He yelled in your face again. "You fucking swear?!"
"Yes! Yes, please, I swear!" You were sure he'd have ripped your hair out if he pulled any harder than he already did.
"You know what I'll have to do if you have," His voice dropped into a low whisper, his crazed eyes looking over you like he were trying to find a lie. "You don't want that, do you?"
You shook your head frantically, his hand creeping up to grip your neck ever so tightly as a warning.
"Listen real fucking close." Kai's hand tightened on your neck. "I'm going to take you right back home where it's safe, and you're gonna get put back in your place and obey my fucking rules like you're supposed to!"
Kai watched you nod obediently, a cruel smile just barely crossing his face, satisfied by your compliance.
