#Chapter12

Past

/"I'd kill him myself if I ever got the chance./"

I had been told that eyes were the windows to a person’s soul.

I'd never fully understood what it had meant.

Until now.

When I gazed into Will's eyes I saw his broken soul. A soul which had been forced to turn dark.

When I looked into his eyes I saw pain and anger.

So much anger.

It made me shudder. It made me afraid.

I licked my dry lips and tore my eyes away from him. His eyes followed me, scrutinizing my every move. Like a predator stalking its prey.

/"Look at me Marriah./" I heard his soft but firm voice. I trained my eyes on his chest, not daring to go further up.

/"Look. At. Me./" He said slowly. His voice was a little louder this time, full of authority.

He leaned forward, now merely a few inches away from me. My breath hitched.

/"Are you afraid of me Marriah?/" He said, slowly stressing on each word.
