Bad Apple!!
He pulled her forward into an upright position, resting his chin on the top of her head and pressing her body against his.
“Come on we know you feel bad but you need to get out of the tub.”
He felt a compulsive need to take CARE of her. She needed that, no matter how tough she acted. He knew.
He knew a lot of things.
“Come on, up you go.” He picked her up, trying to get her legs to wrap around his waist.
A audible whine echoed through her mouth as she was picked up- her legs instinctively wrapping up about his waist as she was carried out of the bath tub. She just whined and protested loudly, not wanting to leave the heat of the water, but he wasn’t giving up.
“G-Goddamn! Whattha’ell! Where are we goin!?”
He kissed her cheek and dropped her on the bed.
“We’re gonna get dressed and go out because WE ARE BORED AND YOU NEED TO EAT.” He put his hands on his hips, a determined expression on his face.
“I AM A MANLY MAN AND YOU SHALL DO AS I SAY BECAUSE THE MAN OF THE HOUSE GIVES THE ORDERS.”
Her fingers tapped against the bed, looking up at him with a slight frown.
”..Go out..?”The words almost seemed foreign to her, let alone her expressions were lost in her own thoughts at the moment. She was hungry.. He knew this? How? Was he angry because she wasn’t taking care of herself..?
She didn’t know.
“… . I need to.. Get dressed or somethin’…”“Yes. Yes you do. Something that makes you look really pretty. We like it when you’re pretty- well we mean- er- you’re always pretty but there are different levels of pretty we guess- um….”
He blushed, looking away.
“You’re hungry, right? You look hungry. Maybe we’re just seeing what we wanna see though. We need to do something and it would help if you’re hungry- we dunno. We- we desperately need something that you’ll probably think is really scary unless you’re hungry…”
“Somethin’ scary…? Oh, Tell me more.”
She stood now, pulling all of her hair into her hand, and tied it into a knot, to keep it out of the way, and she started going through her drawers, grabbing her panites and a bra, quickly slipping into both.
“C’Mon Huntah, tell me. I ain’got ahll day.”
He jumped up on the bed, arms spread wide. “We wanna rip people apart. The bad ones. The bad apples need to be thrown out so that the good ones don’t go bad!”
The light in his eyes was not human.
“We wanna tear people to shreds, sink our fingers into their skin and rip out their hearts… make them pay for what they’ve done!”
His teeth were elongating- or maybe that was just the light. His eyebrows furrowed upward, a blissful expression on his face while his hands clenched and unclenched, squeezing his sides and neck and everything, mimicking, perhaps.
The chills crept up his spine, and his head fell back and he could just-
no.
He let out a heavy sigh and sat down, cross legged on the bed.
No.
