CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN

MALAKAI

*

*

When a nightmare is real, how do you even wake up from it?

"You feel so real" He whispers in a deeper voice than I remember.

I am the one hallucinating; I should be saying this.

Our bodies are so close that I can feel his heat radiating through my cold, numb ones. His hand caresses my hair and pulls me back enough to touch my face.

I shiver at the contact; looking into his dark eyes feels like falling into an endless abyss.

His next words send a shiver through me, and it has nothing to do with the cold.

"In here, I can see you..." He smiles, and my heart cracks; it almost does not feel like a bad dream anymore.

Before I can think any further, his hand grabs the base of my neck, and raw intent flashes in his eyes as he leans in closer. I start to push his shoulders but he grasps my arms, pinning them to the sides, his glazed eyes are boiling with a fury that makes my bones melt.

"This is my dream; I can do whatever I want to you; you can't escape

    CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHTMALAKAI **His face had resurfaced all the forbidden memories. A year and six months is what it took that correction facility to try and make me forget him. They still failed to cleanse me, to purge the sin and filth out of me. Pierce has been so deeply engraved in my mind that not even the tortures had been able to take him away. He's greater than any nightmares that they ever could give. In the past few months, I've tried to have sex with both genders alike, not the Reverend. Not the sister; it's Pierce who has conditioned me, branded himself in my soul. He's the reason I can't get touched by others; my mind is still his prisoner. I'm still trying to break free from his chains, why is fate playing this dangerous game with me all over again?Uriel told me that he'd been transferred to this hospital about two weeks ago for specialized care. I start to wonder if it's just a coincidence that I got a job in this same hospital, but it's Uriel who had recommended

    CHAPTER TWOMALAKAI**As I sprint down the field, the cheers of my teammates grow louder. This is the first football practice of the semester, and my heart is racing with excitement. I grasp the football tightly, but in an instant, a crushing tackle sends my body flying against the ground. The impact causes a cry of pain to escape my mouth, I look up to see my opponent, and it is none other than Pierce. Something about his arrogant stance pisses me off, the glint in his dark gaze tells me that he's mocking me. "Malakai, come on!" I can hear my teammates cheering. Despite the pain and shock, my fingers instinctively tighten around the ball, there is no way I'm going to lose to him. Lana is currently watching, if I want her to be impressed by me, I have to do more than this... I try to stand but Pierce suddenly jumps on top of me, the force of his weight flattening me to the ground, snatching the breath out of my lungs. I cannot move, not even an inch.

Lana and Pierce have been so intimate with each other today as well, and it's driving me crazy. I need to come up with a plan to tear them apart soon. It doesn't seem like it will be easy to deal with Pierce, I already feel exhausted merely thinking about him. I bow my head in the shower when the bathroom door suddenly opens. I turn around instantly to see him enter the bathroom.Pierce!I blink to ensure that I'm not imagining him. He walks inside nonchalantly, draped in only a white towel that is wrapped around his waist.There are other empty bathroom stalls, so why this particular one? I glare at him as he walks to stand beside me."What's your problem?!" I seeth, I am already at my wits end towards him. Pierce stares at me, looking completely unfazed by my hostile expression, if anything, he seems amused. "I shou

Who is the sender?How did he access my device even though it is password-protected?Why wait until now to message me?These thoughts are floating through my mind as my shaky fingers start to type;' Who are you...?'It takes a lot of courage to click on the sending option, even breathing becomes difficult as I wait for a response. The message tickles twice They read it...!I can't stop trembling; I bit on my thumb hard enough to draw blood. The sharp pain combined with the metallic taste that floods my mouth.Seconds slowly turn into minutes and then hours. And there is still no response.' What do you want?...'

    CHAPTER SIXMALAKAI**Pierce ignores my questions, he merely walks to the side of the room to pour himself a drink and makes himself comfortable on the couch in the room.He takes a sip of his drink, watching me through the rim of the glass, seeming to enjoy every second of my anxiety."What do I want? Hmm, now what do I want, you tell me?" He taps his jaw with a finger. This fucker!What's he being so dramatic for? I'm still furious that he invaded my privacy.Pierce takes another sip of his drink and extends the glass towards me.Is he expecting me to drink from the same glass? I can't even hide my disgust as I stare at him."I don't drink alcohol," I say, which isn't a lie. "Well, you're gonna," Pierce says softly, but I can hear the threat laced in his voice. His hand remains extended. Right now, he practically calls all the shots; I guess I really don't have a choice.Just a drink right? If this is all it takes...I snatch the glass from his hand, pour the entire contents

    CHAPTER FORTY-SIXMALAKAI **The familiar smell of disinfectants in the psych ward and these sterile white walls choke me with this feeling of despair. It's too similar. Everything here is a stark reminder of that forsaken place. My anxious gaze lingers on the nuns who work here. My heart starts to pound furiously at their familiar black flowing robe and veil. They start to approach my direction and my entire body freezes. "They are caregivers; they can't hurt you," I whisper to myself, but it doesn't stop the chill that trickles down my spine as they get closer... And closer. I can see the deathly hands slowly clawing out of these white walls; I'm hopeless against the force as they drag me to that dark place. I see myself immobile, frightened, helpless on that bed in the white room.'I'm going to cleanse you!' Sister Agatha's whisper rings in my head. I can feel her hands crawling across my skin, the wide smile that spreads on her face. 'You poor sweet boy, let me take care

    CHAPTER FORTY-FIVEMALAKAI **"Wow." I hear my boss mumble as he stares at the photo I hand over to him. This particular one had taken me several weeks to work on. I love pictures because they can be viewed from different perspectives, and can be interpreted depending on the subject. The Venus fly trap, a carnivorous plant swallowing a struggling bug. Capturing the moment the insect suffocates and eventually dies and is absorbed by the plants has been fascinating. "Earth is indeed a scary place, poor insect" He adds.' Or maybe the plant just needs to feed? '"Your pictures are great, but why do you always like taking such gloomy photos? Cheer up; life isn't supposed to be so serious. We gotta have some fun sometimes, you know." His eyes leer at me as he suddenly places a secure hand around my shoulders.My body flares with panic and my brain instinctively starts to count.Ninety seconds, and it will be over. One...Two...Three...Four..."I think these pictures are going to be

    CHAPTER FORTY-FOURMALAKAI**The shadows of yesterday hit me hard as I walk through the town where I used to live. Nothing has changed, including the houses and convenience stores around the corner. I suppose two years is not very long. I am the only one who can barely remember who I was before. A part of me is still lost among the broken pieces of this place.Some days, I wonder if I am dead and everyone simply forgot to bury me.I can't look anybody in the eyes, I'm unresponsive to the gossips and curious stares; all I can think is 'fuck all of them!'From this distance, I watch my little brother Ezra walk to the stage to receive his diploma, after my release six months ago, he's the only person I kept contact with.The audience bursts out in applause, and I can not help but feel a wave of nostalgia wash over me. I did not even get to graduate. I have nothing.Three TwoOne.Perfectly shot!Only when I focus on these images on my camera do I feel like I have something, but ther

This is pure fiction and does not depict the actions of any religious group. It's white everywhere. My head is hurting. My foggy brain can't even think of why I'm here.

Why?The door opens, and my blurry vision adjusts to see the Reverend enter, accompanied by sister Agatha.The memories start to claw in, and my heart sears with panic.Let me out!My body begins to jerk against the straps that keep me in place. I remember everything now.'...The truth is, son, you're broken. You're sick. And we're going to fix you...'No!The only one who can fix me is him. Pierce.'Where are you, don't you love me anymore?'

I had waited all night long without getting any sleep, and now, as I stare at my phone, there is still no reply. I walk into my parents in the living room, Dad wears a solemn expression. I don't recall doing anything worthy of his attention, so why is he here?He is probably worried about the elections... or maybe not.My heart slams in my chest when I see something familiar in his hands.A collar."Pierce__"I find it difficult to breathe as I snatch the collar from his hand.

    CHAPTER FORTY ONEMALAKAI **My skin itches from my father's belt; disgust and fury flash in his eyes as he repeats. "Are you gay?"If I want just one person and the person just happens to be a guy, am I still gay? Probably?I'm not afraid of the belt anymore, because when I close my eyes..."You won't speak? You're not denying it. You don't even beg when I hit you, do you want to challenge me now?!"My father's belt clatters roughly to the ground and he delivers a hard punch to my face.No!A gasp of pain leaves my mouth as I stagger backwards.Please bring back the belt!At least, I can pretend it is Pierce who's hurting me so sweetly.His blows fucking hurts, my entire face hurts, I can barely speak, but when I see the rage in his eyes, something inside of me triumphs."I'm the one going to hell, Dad, why are you so mad?""So it's true?

    CHAPTER FORTYMALAKAI**He made the whole school hate me and isolated me from everyone and in my lonely moments, I had grown dependent on his affection, allowing myself to be deluded that our relationship wasn't as crazy as it seemed. I suppose I am just a dog, greedily leeching on my owner's emotions, and Pierce knows how to tame one. As I stand on this rooftop, a soft breeze blows across my face. The ground feels like an eternity away, and one slip..."What are you doing? Get down now!" I flinch when I hear Pierce's voice behind me. I just want some alone time, but he always finds me. I slowly turn around, and Pierce, who is normally so calm and in control, appears terrified. His weakness seems so out of character, and my shattered soul urges me to break him more; I want him to feel the hell that I'm going through."Would you die for me, Pierce? Then hold my hands... Let us die together. I take a step back and move closer to the edge."Kai, get out of there!" His face becomes
