Now Showing (Horrors & Heartthrobs)

“It won’t be like this forever. I just need time to… get used to you being here.” He takes a shuttering breath his voice thick with emotion I haven’t heard from him yet, “I’ve been alone for so long. I won’t go back to that. I can’t now. Fifteen years, sixty-seven days and four hours I’ve been here and never once in all that time have I wished for… you. Now it makes my stomach twist to think of going back to the darkness of this world, without even a glimpse of light. I'll spend a lifetime making it up to you.”

Rule number nine…. I think. Oh fuck it the rule that says this entire world is a lying glob of buttcum.

can carry you out or you can follow on your own accord. You’re staying beside me either way and I’m leaving.” Oh. Oh.

“Why do you push me, little bird? If you knew half of what I hear in my head, you wouldn’t dare. You’d be a good girl. You’d listen when I tell you what you’re doing is dangerous. You’d stop sneaking into my bed at night when you’re scared. Arching your fucking ass into my cock while I’m trying to sleep.”

“Will you stay by me? Let me protect you, Felicity? I know you think you can leave, that you’ll find a way, but you won’t. I would never let you go.”

“Delicate little birds don’t get fucked by monsters that's why.”

“The little bird wants to be fucked by her monster huh? She needs it so badly she’s begging him.” My monster.

“I'm the king of all the disgusting things and you… you Felicity are my unfortunate Queen. You’re good, and delicate everything I don’t deserve but monsters aren’t known for their generosity or sense of righteousness. I don't bring people here on purpose, don't really know how it works. When they're suffering… the theater… that town it draws them here to me. They slip in and I… alleviate their pain.”

Kai, my captor. The curator of my worst nightmare. My torment and fear. The maker of every unsettling thing that’s happened to me since I woke up in his world.

“I’ll keep you. Let you kill me hundreds of times, take your monstrous cunt a hundred more but I prefer you like this. I need your fucking heart how it is now even, if you hate me. I love you delicate and alive. Wild and sweet. This is how I want you, but I’ll have you with me forever, no matter the state you’re in.”

“You aren’t my prisoner little bird. You’re my everything. I'll make this world bow at your feet.”

“Until I earn my place at your side. I'll protect you, love you. I'll become everything you need me to be.”
