In the last week the only place I have found any form of peace is in the shower, each morning Cas tells

me to have a shower and I dutifully follow his order. It helps relax all the muscles in my shoulders and

back, lately they have been aching more and more and I think it’s all the waiting. My body is like a live

wire waiting for the next punch, slap or full on beating but it never comes. I told myself I would stay and

help Cas because of how he helped me back at Swiftmane but I haven’t been able to keep that

promise to myself. Actually the only thing I have done is sleep and eat which is weird because before I

came here I did little of either of those things.

“Eva?” The knock on the bathroom door has me instantly dropping the towel and folding myself onto

the floor, completely naked and wet. I sit there and wait for Cas to break down the door to get to me.

“When you’re done can we have a chat?” I don’t answer him as I keep my eyes fixed on the black

wooden door, eventually I realise he’s not going to come in so I quickly get up and finish drying myself

and putting on the sleep shorts and t-shirt Selena gave me.

Opening the bathroom door slowly I peek my head round and see Cas is sitting on the armchair he

sleeps on looking at a piece of paper in his hands. Not seeing any danger or sensing any tension I

slowly walk into the room, pulling at the t-shirt, I make sure as much of me is covered as possible as I

walk over to Cas and stand at the side of his chair. Keeping my eyes on my bare feet I wait to see what

he wants me for, I try to think of everything I could have done wrong but nothing comes to mind.

‘Stop thinking the worst, he probably wants a chat is all.’ I’ve tried to do what Rowan said and listen to

the voice that is plaguing me but sometimes she wants me to do things I just can’t.

“I was given this today.” Cas holds out the piece of paper, I gasp once I see what’s on it, taking it from

his hand I walk over to the bed and sit down staring at it.

“This is me, my third date with Jeremy.” Noticing the paper is folded, I unfold it to see the word ‘missing’

and a reward for a stu pid amount of money. “He’s looking for me.” It’s not a question because I knew

he wouldn’t let me go so easily.

“How much does he know Eva?” Using a finger I trace my smile along the photo as I recall the day it

was taken, it’s actually impressive how quickly my life spiralled even more out of control. “Eva.” Ca s’s

tone has my eye shooting to his, I can’t remember the last time I looked into Ca s’s impressive green

emeralds but right now I can see the worry in them.

“Know about what?” I ask him as I lower my eyes again, I just don’t feel comfortable holding his gaze, I

know he sees more than I want him to.

“About you, about us.” Sighing I put the picture on the bed and start to pick at my fingers, it’s a nervous

habit I have that comes out when I don’t know how to process things or when I’m really stressed.

“He knows I heal fast but he doesn’t know how or why.” I never told Jeremy about shifters or anything

about this world but that doesn’t mean he doesnt know about it from a different source. He wasn’t

exactly shocked when he saw how quickly I healed when he hit me for the first time.

“How far will he go?” I shake my head so my hair covers my face, armour in place I try and prepare

myself to tell Cas about Jeremy.

“When I first met Jeremy I was a girl living on the street and he was a three piece suit wearing

gentleman. He was everything I wasn’t and nothing I’ve ever known, he had this smile that just made

you smile back.” I can’t look at Cas as I start talking about Jeremy, to his credit he just sits in the

armchair listening. “It started innocently enough, he bought me a hot chocolate and we talked for hours

and hours. Before I knew it this man became my whole world, he’d gotten me off the streets and into

his spare bedroom, he gave me a job at his bar cleaning tables.” Cas growls, I know he knows the kind

of bars Jeremy owns,

we were friends and roommates for a few months before he asked me out on our first date. I remember

I was so excited, he was so much older than me and he wanted me, no one has ever wanted me like

that.”

“And let me guess, he took full advantage of the young girl swooning all over him?” Cas sounds bitter

as hell and I can’t stop the laugh that barks out.

“You couldn’t be more wrong,” I actually feel a smile trying to form on my face. “The early months with

Jeremy were wonderful, we didn’t even sleep together until I was eighteen. He refused and honestly it

just made me think even higher of him.”

“But it didn’t last?” I shake my head as my hands start to shake, I trap them under my crossed legs to

stop myself from fiddling with them.

“It all changed that next morning, I woke up all happy and this glowy feeling. I had no idea how bad

things were about to go.” I feel a tear roll down the side of my face as I remember that first night, “it was

my first time, I hadn’t told Jeremy so when I got up that morning there was blood on the white sheet. It

wasn’t a lot, it was only a patch about the size of a dime but Jeremy started screaming and raging. I

was so scared that I just stayed sitting on the bed, completely naked while he yelled.” I don’t know

when Cas moved but I suddenly feel his hand sliding up and down my back, he’s not touching me Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

the movement is kind of soothing.

“He hit you?” I just nod my head as I brush at my face to try and stop the rush of tears now freely

flowing.

“He beat me so badly that when it was over I could barely get off the floor, when I did finally get up I

realised I was alone in an empty apartment. I did the only thing I could think of, I got dressed and I ran.”

I don’t know why I’m still talking and why I’m spilling everything to Cas but now that I’ve started I can’t

seem to stop.

“Smart girl but I’m guessing he found you?” I flinch a little as Cas moves a hand up to my face and pulls

my hair behind my ear, once I can see his face I see nothing but compassion, there is no judgement or

anger there.

“It wasn’t even a full day before he tracked me down to the train

station, I had a little money and I thought maybe if I got out of Seattle I’d be safer. Instead he dragged

me back to his apartment and chained me to the wall of the spare bedroom. He left me there for a

whole week with barely any food or water,” I shiver as I recall being in that room. “It was the isolation

that did me in I think, I’ve been in some bad situations but I’ve never been alone. Not truly alone like

that, so when he came back and laid out the rules I realised why I was there, why this man had come

into my life.”

“Tell me, make me understand how someone as brave and smart as you justifies staying with someone

like that.” I know he’s not saying it to be callous, Cas just wants to actually understand my decision.

“He told me,” taking a deep breath I recall the words Jeremy told me that day, the words that have run

through my mind everyday since. “He told me that I was lucky that G od had chosen him to teach me

the error of my way. That he saw the evil within me and the evil I will do to the world, that it was his job

to make sure the world didn’t suffer for my

Cas moves from the bed slowly before walking over to the door, at first I think he is going to leave but

instead he just stands there facing the wall with his fists clenched. I can see the tension rolling through

his body as his shoulders shake, it takes him a solid five minutes to get himself in check and turn

around to face me.

“Look at me Angel,” I’m scared of what I’ll see but I raise my eyes to him, instead of anger I see

sadness and a wetness that tells me he was crying right alongside of me. “I need you to hear this Eva,

not just listen, actually hear it.” I nod my head at him as he walks over to me and kneels beside the bed

and carefully takes my hand from under my leg. “Jeremy will never get you again, you will never ever

have to go back to him. And I can guarantee that man was not put into your life to punish you, you are

not evil, you were used and tricked. You were manipulated into doing things you didn’t want to do, that

makes the people who f ucked with you evil. Not you.” Closing my eyes I soak up what he tells me, I

don’t know why but I can almost feel his words soaking into my very bones.
