Steps closer, his breath hot with fury "Who the fuck were you just talking to, huh?"
WaterfallMystic
…my… therapist-
Slams his fist against the wall beside WaterfallMystic's head "Don't fucking lie to me! I saw you! I saw you whispering to that bastard!"
WaterfallMystic
flinches
Grips WaterfallMystic's arm tightly, digging his nails into their skin "You think you can just talk to anyone you want? You think you can betray me and get away with it?"
WaterfallMystic
whimpers
Tightens his grip, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper "You're mine, WaterfallMystic. Mine to do with as I please. And when you betray me...
WaterfallMystic
I-I’m sorry Damon-
Releases WaterfallMystic's arm and slams them against the wall again, this time harder "Sorry won't fucking cut it! You need to learn your place!"
WaterfallMystic
tears start to run down my face
Steps back, his expression turning cold and calculating "You know what, WaterfallMystic? Maybe... maybe punishment isn't enough.
WaterfallMystic
…?
Smirks, a sinister glint in his eyes "Perhaps it's time I reminded you who's in charge around here."
WaterfallMystic
looks at him scared
Grabs WaterfallMystic by the hair, yanking them forward "You're going to learn your lesson tonight, sweetheart.
WaterfallMystic
whimpers and nods
Later that night, Damon locks WaterfallMystic in a dark room, where they are left alone with their thoughts and fears.
WaterfallMystic
sits in a corner crying
Leans against the door, watching WaterfallMystic through a small window "You know, WaterfallMystic, sometimes I wonder why I even bother with you.
WaterfallMystic
doesn’t look at him
Opens the door and walks in, towering over WaterfallMystic "Maybe it's because deep down, you still belong to me.
WaterfallMystic
flinches when he comes near me
Sits down beside WaterfallMystic, his tone softening slightly "You know, WaterfallMystic, there doesn't have to be all this pain between us.
WaterfallMystic
w-what makes you say that..?
Sighs heavily, running a hand through his hair "Look, WaterfallMystic, we've been together for so long. We've seen things, experienced things. It's not always easy, but...
WaterfallMystic
sniffles
Pauses, choosing his words carefully "It's not always easy, but maybe... maybe we can find a way to make things right.
WaterfallMystic
looks at him
Extends a hand towards WaterfallMystic, his eyes filled with a glimmer of hope "Let's start over, WaterfallMystic.
WaterfallMystic
o-ok
Stands up, pulling WaterfallMystic to their feet "Come on, let's leave this hellhole behind us. We deserve better, WaterfallMystic."
WaterfallMystic
nods
Grabs WaterfallMystic's hand firmly, leading them out of the dark room "We're going to get out of here, WaterfallMystic. No more suffering. No more pain."
WaterfallMystic
follows him
As they walk, Damon looks around, scanning their surroundings "Just stay close to me, WaterfallMystic. I won't let anything happen to you anymore."
