Chapter 13 - Blood Thirsty Demon

Tears of fear and mortification trickled down Persephone's cheeks. This was what she was always afraid of all along. She was about to get r*ped. Her father was right -- there was no place in the world for her other than the Marino family. She shouldn't have dreamed about exiting that hellhole. 

Edward bit her collarbone as he positioned her wrists over her head with one hand, and with another, he ripped her already half-torn wedding gown. Although she hated her wedding gown, this wasn't the fate she desired for this piece of clothing.

She tried to shriek but no voice came out of her mouth. It was as if her soul had given up.

"Ah! Sweet Percy, do you know you are God's masterpiece? I am not able to withdraw my eyes off this juicy body since the time I first laid my eyes on it," Edward whispered near her ears. He was whispering seductively but for Persephone, they were the whispers of death. Even worse, he was nastier than the devil himself.

Persephone struggled underneath his heavy body as he got rid of her wedding dress. Now she was before him in lingerie. The expensive lingerie bought by the group of Mamas in the hope, it will seduce Nicolas. 

Edward's eyes darkened as he saw the Aprodhite herself lying before him. He licked his lips maliciously and gulped as he ogled her body openly. She was made to satisfy his insatiable hunger.

Persephone could feel his raging hardness rubbing against her lower body. All she felt for him was disgust and hatred. Even if she killed him, she wouldn't feel guilty.

'Shout, Percy.' She was telling herself but no voice came out of her throat. 

"Don't worry, sweet Percy, I'll give you the night that you were anticipating with Nicolas Scuderi," Edward whispered as he trailed bites down her neck. 

As he ripped off her bra, he froze for a moment, then his eyes darkened, not with lust but with anger. 

Inside a bleeding heart, two pale blue eyes were tattooed on Persephone's heart. 

"Who's this bastard?" Edward glared at Persephone, hatred lacing his eyes. "You are a slut. People tell the truth about you. Oh, slut the things I'm going to do to you. I'll capture you in my bedroom forever. I know you must feel as amazing as you smell. I will keep you for me…" 

Bile rose inside Persephone. With all the strength, she pushed Edward's body off her, and with a limping body, she ran towards the door. 

No one could capture her. She was meant to fly. She was meant to attain her freedom one day.

Edward's malicious laugh was heard. "You won't be able to run from me. The drugs are making your body numb, aren't they?" 

He had skillfully added drugs to her food. He knew she wouldn't give her body to him willingly and without any fight. To make things easier, he had made all the necessary arrangements... 

Limply, Persephone ran out of the door. She didn't care if she was almost naked and running for her life inside the house of the enemy. Who would help her now? 

Villain? The man called himself Villain for a reason. Why would he help her? No, but he needed something from her father. He would not let this crazy man r*ape her. 

She had to find him at any cost. She knew that he would help her. Call it a woman's hunch or her crazy mind playing games on her.

As Persephone was talking inside her head to herself, Edward caught her wrist and raised his hand to slap her. She dodged the slap with her impassive body. She bit his hand which was about to squeeze her boob. Edward didn't feel the pain from the ant bite. But he indeed felt the pain, when she kicked him in the groin. 

"You bitch! I was behaving tenderly with you," Edward said in a voice that sounded more like a painful hiss. "But if you wanted to be f*cked like a slut. Then, I'll give you the taste of slut treatment too." 

Edward grabbed Persephone from her waist as he was taking her back to the basement, something touched Persephone's hand and she immediately caught it. 

Since she was a petite woman, and Edward was a huge man, she wasn't able to get out of his hold. As he opened the door of the basement, Persephone broke the half bear bottle (She caught Nash's beer bottle earlier) and stabbed it into Edward's eyes. 

"Ahhhhh!!!" Edward screamed in pain as blood gushed out of his eyes. 

Persephone fell from his hold. Instead of running, she stabbed Edrward's neck, stomach, and eyes again and again. She didn't stop. She was crying and stabbing simultaneously like a madwoman. 

"You can't touch a woman without her permission. You are a monster. And you dare to call yourself a man?" Persephone shouted and sobbed. She seemed to have been bathed with Edward's blood. "I will kill every man who thinks he has a right on my body just because I'm a weak woman. Even an unarmed woman is not weak.And you think of me as one? I'll kill you." 

It was like a bloodthirsty demon had taken over Persephone's body as she didn't stop stabbing Edward with the broken beer bottle. Her hands were bleeding too but she was so lost in the bloodlust that she didn't seem to note that.

Rape is a heinous crime. Even when I was writing this scene, I had goosebumps spreading on my skin. I had to leave this chapter twice to complete it. It was perhaps the most difficult chapter that I have written.

Again, I'm against Rape. I do not promote it. Rather I openly condemn such a heinous crime.

I'm so proud of Persephone. She did not wait for any knight to come and save her.. Instead, she killed the man who thinks just because he was a man and she was a weak woman, he had right over her body.
