"When was the last time you slept?" // "Don't touch me" // "Is that a challenge?" {Rylan and Noelle}
"When was the last time you slept?"
There was nothing more than the lonely road stretching beyond the horizon before the pair; the glare of the moon scorching his retinas, as Rylan fought to keep his eyes open. He certainly shouldn’t be driving in such a state, but for two reasons he denied himself the opportunity to indulge in the sweet embrace of oblivion. He didn’t dare hand over the care of his beloved vehicle over to another and after what they had done; they had to put as much distance between them and their last mess as humanly possible. It had been a bloody massacre; a half dozen bodies strewn across the road. Noelle had been the one to bind them; Rylan being the one that decorated their bodies with the tip of his blade. Their laughter had howled through the night and if he was quiet; he swore he could hear the wolves responding. Tightening his fingers around the steering wheel until his knuckles turned a ghastly shade of white; Rylan turned his head to the side to glare daggers at his companion. Perhaps it was the lack of sleep that was clouding his judgment; forcing him to handle her roughly in a manner he had never done before. He was always frighteningly gentle with her; something that always seemed to amaze the blonde. For someone that had caused so much destruction with their bare hands; it was difficult for one to wrap their mind around the idea that he wasn’t a monster at all hours of the day. “Unless you have forgotten; we don’t exactly have time on our side at the moment. We need to get out of the country and sleep is the last thing on my mind.” Their last act of destruction had been a work of art; the images being burned into the back of the man’s skull. Returning his gaze to the road; he revelled in the moment they were plunged back into silence. He needed the quiet to assure him that he was still sane; that he had yet to lose his mind.
His mind had been clouded; his vision streaked over by red. He had been lost in the movement of his blade; not realizing that he had moved far enough to plunge the steel deep into Noelle’s flesh. He was both mesmerized and horrified by the amount of blood that stained her sleeve. She didn’t try to reassure him that she was alright, but instead harshly told him to remain where he stood. Taking an uneven step back from her; Rylan tripped over the legs of their last victim. Hitting the ground hard; a grunt left his lips, as he simply allowed himself to stare up at the darkening sky. The sky was painted with hues of gold and orange, but still it did not pale in comparison to the beauty of the girl he found by his side. Slowly; Rylan pushed himself back up to his feet, but still he could not meet her gaze. She was busily trying to repair the damage he had made; sharply telling the man to stay back when he only wanted to help. “I didn’t mean to harm you; you must realize that Noelle.” His tone was shaky, as he took a small step closer to her. What he would give to take her in his arms; to kiss away the crimson that now coated her porcelain skin. He didn’t think she understood the gravity of what he felt for her; how he lusted to both have her and end her all in the same instance. The voices that loomed in the darkest shadows of his mind; they did not take well to her presence and often filled the young man’s skull with frightening fantasies. He both needed her and needed to remove her from the picture. His head was throbbing painfully as it was becoming increasingly difficult to tell up from down. “I never wanted to hurt you.”
”Is that a challenge?”
Leaning over the seat; closing the distance that separated them, Rylan allowed for a darkening smirk to overtake his features. He had asked her to make him lose complete control; something he knew she was capable of. She had been close to doing so in the past; tempting the darkness in his heart to come out and play. As those words left her lips; Rylan attached his hands to her waist and pulled her into his lap. Lightly trailing his fingers along the curves of her spine; he was conscious of the chills that were passing through her frame. “It might be.” He replied coyly; his eyes gleaming with something dark. It was always during those moments where the thrill of the hunt was still fresh; that Rylan would give way to the animal that lurked beneath his surface. Combing his finger through her long locks; Rylan moved forward to press his lips against hers. His actions were backed by lust and this need to feel every inch of her. It was almost ironic how the fates had granted him a companion; one that could see through the sea of red and make their way to him. Noelle was what he needed to keep him grounded; that one person that was capable of keeping him tethered to reality. Slowly; Rylan trailed his lips along the nape of her neck, revelling in the way she tasted against his lips. “I think you are quite capable.” He murmured against her skin. “Quite capable of ruining me further.” She needed him just as much as he needed her, which would explain how easily they fit together. They were the pieces to a matched set; the other half to the missing piece. Who was the sun without the moon or the night without the day? She was his lethal companion; the one that would make him lose what was left of his mind.
I am uncomfortable, discontent, and worried. My dad was a dick to my mom today, I need a lot for school that I can't afford, I need to sell my car and I got fucked by this person selling their car online...seriously, why do people post fake ads? It's really mean. idk. I wish I had more money, I wish I could afford to do things that make me happy. I know money isn't everything, but I wish I had the ability to really invest in my life and what makes me happy and what I enjoy.
I'm feeling pretty stagnant lately. I think I need projects, goals, things...but also, I need to get past this car thing. Then it'll be easier to move forward with goals and things.
literally all I have to do is find a background for this thing for work and then I can go to bed and I am on this fucking website take it away from me.
