The Haunted’s Kiss of Regret and Repentance

UNWANTED EMBRACE



I froze as I looked at the black shadow that was only an inch away from me. It didn’t have any facial features, but I could feel and smell the hot sulfuric breath when it spoke.

“You betrayed me, my love, as if I couldn’t see you.”

I froze in fear as the shadow’s hands held both my arms in a tight grip. I felt like it was snowing as the temperature in the room dropped suddenly.

“If you were going to be a whore for another man, you should have told me, my love. I would have spoiled you like a queen and raped you like the whore you are.”

My whole body shook with fear, and my trembling continued as I tried to focus on calming myself. The shadow’s arm rubbed my left hand as his other arm held my right hand to keep me from moving.

“You are my queen, and yet you go to another bastard.”

My eyes snapped to the shadow that started to appear near the closet. It was the same humanoid shadow, but it had little horns.

“Shyne, you are getting bolder in defying me and trying to run away from me.”

“Y-you’re, you’re n-not R-rian.”

I managed to speak a little, but the shadow’s fingers dug deeper to my exposed arm. I felt the coldness of the shadow’s lifeless hands as it began to move from my arm, to my hips.

“I am Rian. However, Rian’s face no longer gives you the fear needed to control you. I merely took over his soul for a while in order for you to listen.”

Four more shadows appeared out of nowhere, and the six of them surrounded me. One of the shadows walked behind me and held my shoulder.

“You were careless today, my love. We saw everything you did today.”

His hand went inside my shirt and started caressing my stomach. I trembled more as he began to go higher.

“P-please. Please, stop this.”

I dragged the words out of my mouth as my tears began to fall. The room felt dark as the six shadows laughed in unison.

“That’s right, little girl. Beg for me.”

The four other shadows drew closer and the six of them carried me to my bed. Shadowy ropes began to appear at the corners of my bed, and they attached themselves to my arms and legs.

“You look beautiful, my love. Like a delicious offering waiting to be consumed by me.”

I sobbed as each of the shadows went to the bed and pulled the shadowy ropes attached to my limbs. It was both embarrassing and terrifying being spread eagle despite having clothes on.

“Hmm. Rian did a good job choosing the offering.”

“L-Lord, please help me.”

I began to pray silently as the six shadows hissed in unison.

“You need to learn how to shut up, you whore!”

The four shadows pulled on my restraints hard and the fifth one sat on my stomach to choke me. The one speaking was standing on the foot of the bed.

“I’ll make sure you are in so much pain that your prayers won’t be for salvation but death.”

The shadow leader floated and landed on the foot of my bed where he kneeled and licked my exposed leg. I squirmed and cried. I wanted to scream but the choking intensified whenever I tried to speak.

I closed my eyes as the shadow figure reached the buttons of my shorts.

“Shyne! Hey babe! Open the door!”

I opened my eyes when the door burst open, and Brixton was standing on the opened door with two of my body guards behind him. Perry looked like she could faint while looking at me.

I looked to my arms and legs and saw that the shadows were gone, and I was spread eagle with my shirt slightly raised just below my breast. My short’s button was open, but aside from that, I just looked like I had a weird dream.

Perry ran inside and covered me as I tried to sit straight on the bed. The guards averted their eyes, and Brixton stood beside my bed when he finished roaming around the room quickly with the guards.

“Babe, you have been here for nearly two hours. I was waiting, and when I couldn’t call you, I tried calling perry.”

“When I realized that you were not with Brixton, I thought that you would be inside of the room. I figured you had a nightmare or something that you couldn’t get out of.”

I was still trembling by the time they finished explaining, and the only thing on my mind were the guards.

“You two, thank you for being here. I’m sorry if I scared all of you. I had a nightmare and I couldn’t wake up. I’m sorry to trouble all of you.”

The guards looked at me in confusion but nodded their heads and left. I looked straight at Perry’s eyes and avoided Brixton’s worried gaze.

“I’ll go get you a glass of water while Brixton guards you. Alright?”

I nodded as Perry ran to the kitchen to get me what I needed. Brixton sat at the bed beside me, and looked at my trembling hands.

“Babe, when I knocked and you never answered, I tried to listen inside. I heard you moaning and crying a bit, so I know that Rian is behind this.”

I nodded, but still avoided his eyes. I felt like I was endangering them all, and I felt guilt eating me.

“Did this happen because we were hanging out the entire day? Or did this happen because you told me and Karl everything that happened?”

Perry came back and I drank the water quickly. I felt like my throat was dry, and I couldn’t form any words.

“T-there was a shadow man. H-he looked like a demon, and he had five more with him.”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

I trembled at the memory, and I could feel Perry’s warm hands rubbing my back as Brixton looked at me intently.

I told them everything that happened in detail. The looks on their faces says it all. The pity, the fear, the worry, the anger, and the frustration was very visible on their faces.

“Brixton, I should have never asked you to go to the beach with me. I may have just put you in danger because of this stupid curse.”

“Babe, my mom is a pastor. I can handle them. You said that they were annoyed when you prayed . Do that same thing if ever this thing happens again. Whatever can give you protection, let’s do it.”

“Brixton’s right, Shyne. We need help from God and the church. This is no longer something that money or connections can solve.”

“Shyne, babe, you have been so strong, but you need to be stronger right now. Based on your story, this is no longer just Rian tormenting you. This is something much worse, and we need professional help.”

“O-okay.”

I was still distraught, and all I could do was nod and stare into the distant corner.

“Shyne, I’ll call your mother and tell her that you are going home tomorrow. We’ll ride with the guards so I know we’re safe. I’m sure that Izzy would be there. I think that it’s time for us to admit that God is the only one who can help you now.”

“Perry is right, babe. I’ll also get the car ready so I can join the two of you.”

“N-no. Brixton, I-I want you to leave. J-just, just stay away from me for now.”

“Babe! No. I won’t leave you alone.”

“You have to!”

I stood up and looked down at Brixton who was sitting on the edge of the bed. My tears were falling, and I could see the hurt in his eyes.

“Brixton. Rian and those things are after me, and they see you as a threat. If something happens to you because of me, I would never forgive myself, Brixton.”

Brixton stood up and attempted to speak, but I lifted my hand to shut him up.

“It won’t be forever, Brixton. I just want all of this to be over without hurting anyone else. P-please.”

Brixton nodded and pulled me into a big bear hug.

“I’ll be praying for you while I wait for you to call me, alright? I am always here, Shyne. I will never leave you even if I’m physically not there.”

I hugged Brixton back as I allowed my tears to just fall like a waterfall. I felt water droplets on my temple, and when I looked up, I saw that Brixton was crying a little too.

I stood on my tiptoes and kissed Brixton on his chin. We exchanged tearful smiles and hugged one last time.
