Chapter 10: Your Heart is Mine

*Mari's POV*

Kirami kicked me out of the house. Icarus is waiting for me with his arms crossed. "I knew it, you don't love her Mari". I really don't want to talk to him right now. "I do love her, I'll really make her mine, just you watch!" I run back inside the house and sprint to Kirami, grabbing her neck and choking her. She desperately gasps for air and she then passes out. Good thing Tommie is in Kirami's room, I don't want that boy to see his Mommy like this. I laugh to myself as I drag Kirami's body.

I bring her to an abandoned warehouse far away from Ninjō and I tie her up to a chair. It was a long journey, but it's fine. If she doesn't love me, then I'll make her love me.

I see her slowly waking up and she looks around. She then sees me and before she had a chance to react, I say "Hello beautiful". Kirami's in shock. She gives me an enraged look and says "Where the hell are we, Mari? Is Tommie okay?"

I don't answer her questions and I tell her "I let you know me, I treated you with nothing but kindness and love". Kirami scoffs and asks "Kindness? Is this what you call being kind? Tying me up like this?" She's so pathetic. "I tell you my life story, I may have lied to you, but I only did that because I love you".

"You have to understand, this isn't love. You never loved me. You were using me so you can eat my heart and kill me". I give her a surprised look, but I stay calm. "Who told you that, huh?" I ask. Kirami said that Amelia told her about me. "Amelia? Is that what Maryanne goes by now?" I paced back and forth while Kirami gives me a confused expression. "I thought I got rid of her centuries ago, why is she back?" I asked myself. "W...What? Didn't you say Maryanne died from a disease?" I sigh in annoyance. What I've told Kirami is not exactly the whole truth. Of course I lied to her to get what I want.

Kirami starts to breath heavily and realizes something, yelling at me, asking me "What did you do to her? I thought you loved her!" I yelled at her saying "I DID LOVE HER!!! She was everything to me, but you know what really happened when I confessed my love to her? Huh? That whore didn't love me back! She was just like everyone else, thinking of me as a sinner! So you know what I did?" I got up to Kirami's terrified face and say "I was the one that made her blind. I made sure she would never see my beautiful face again".

"You really are a demon" Kirami insults me. I don't agree with that, I just simply want to be loved. And Kirami didn't love me like I loved her.

I was unfazed by her cute little insult and I give her a chuckle. "You know Kirami, I offered you a rare gift, the gift of getting a second chance at life, the gift of moving on from the past. I stopped you from drowning!" I scoffed. "you should be grateful". Kirami looks at me, her eyes already filled with hate, and says "I am grateful".

"Have you ever said thank you? I didn't hear it. Whatever, it doesn't matter now. I gave you love, support, and a second chance to live. But you didn't want it. You didn't want ME". I turned away from her and faced the old closet that was in front of us. Someone who is very special to her is in there. I'll show her soon.

"But you know what, beautiful? I forgive you. During these years, I've grown to know you. I've watched over you since you were a baby, you grew up to be a beautiful woman." I then turned to face Kirami, her wrists are turning red from her being tied up. Sweat and tears covered her face, her eyes still had hatred in them. I bet she wants to murder me right now. "I fell in love with you. I haven't had that feeling in twenty thousand years. I forgive you Kirami, but will you forgive me?"

I turn to the old worn out closet again and I yell "Tommie! Come out, boy!" Tommie slowly and carefully walks out of the closet, his wrists tied up. He has a blindfold on. The poor boy whimpered in fear, begging to see Kirami. I walk behind him, getting my sharp claws ready. I then hear Kirami cry out "NOOO!"

Tommie's blood spills all over the ground. His neck sliced open, leaving my claw marks on it. Tommie makes horrific noises and collapses on the ground, holding his tied up hands to his neck to stop the bleeding. Kirami wails, trying her best to get out of her bondage so she could hold her 'son'. While Tommie is on the ground, I walk over him and when I get close to Kirami, I don't hesitate on stabbing her left eye with my bloody nail. She cries and screams bloody murder. I then untie her and she falls to the floor next to Tommie, both of them holding on to their wounds. I just stare at them as they bleed out, they look horrified and concerned for each other. Blood drips off of my fingernails and I kneel to Kirami.

"You can make all of this pain go away Kirami. Next time, I will kill you and I will make you mine forever". I give those last words to her and I walk away from her and Tommie without turning back. I lick my red stained fingers as I'm walking. I give her time, maybe she'll change her mind and bring me back into her life again.

"Oh Kirami, Your heart already belongs to me. I'll make sure you won't leave me again" I think to myself as I'm smiling sadistically.
