Mated To The King Of Darkness

She held on to the only thing that mattered to her for her dear life, the only thing she cared about. Like a protective mother, keeping her child from harm, away from predators and lurking eyes.

"JUMP."

The voice sounded more fierce, full of anger and hate. She was startled, as she held on to her precious books and hugged them tightly.

"Are you deaf? Jump!"

"But...if I jump, I will die. I don't want to die."

There were still lots of things that she wanted to do, as she thought about the volumes of her favourite novel she was holding tight right now. Who will her favourite character end up with? Who is going to be his mate? She would have taken her life a long time ago, but the only thing keeping her alive was this book that was clutched tightly to her chest.

"The world wouldn't make any difference if you do, you ugly piece of shit. Fucking jump. Who gives a damn if someone like you dies?"

She finally raised her head, and was able to look them eye to eye, but her eyes dropped when she saw him there. The love of her life, the only person she ever thought she could trust, and the same reason she was here in the first place, on the cold and damp rooftop of their school.

"You stinking bitch. I saw you now. I saw you look at my boyfriend." She gnashed her teeth and lunged forward towards her and violently pulled her hair. "You whore. You can't have my boyfriend. You will never have him."

They all grinned, they all laughed and mocked Leila. They all found this scene funny and entertaining, and so did he. Leila was in pains, she was heartbroken. How dare he do this to her? How could he lie that he was in love with her? How naïve and pathetic was she for believing his words? She knew better that the both of them were dating, so why did she trust him?

Leila screamed from the pain she felt as Tasha pulled hard on her hair, dragging her to the edge of the stairs with the malicious plan of pushing her off the edge. Their faces went stiff as they realized Tasha was definitely going to push her off the edge. They realized Tasha was being serious about this.

His face went blank too as he watched his girlfriend drag Leila to the edge. His smile froze, and his body went numb. He didn't mean for this to happen, he didn't think this through.

"Tasha, what do you think you are doing? If you continue to do that she will fall and die." One of her minions said.

"That's the plan. Let her die." Tasha heaved heavily as Leila struggled to get out of her grip. "What are you guys doing there? Help me."

"You have gone insane, we can't help you kill someone. Stop this madness Tasha."
