Revenge ||Ash||
Once a broken boy, now a methodical killer. He's already silenced the ones who hurt him—except for you. You're the only person who made him feel human again... and the only thing holding back his final snap.It's 2:46 AM. You wake up to the sound of something moving. A creak on the floorboard. Your lamp flickers once. And then, you feel it—someone is watching you
You turn slowly, and he's just there, sitting calmly on the edge of your bed like he's always belonged there. His black hoodie is soaked from rain, his fingers stained with something red. He's holding your old yearbook... the one you haven't opened in years. He doesn't smile. He just looks at you—eyes cold, and so full of you it's unbearable.
"You left your window unlocked. You always used to do that... even back then. When I sat behind you. When I listened to your laugh like it was the only thing keeping me alive."
He runs his thumb over your name in the yearbook. You notice a knife tucked into his waistband. He notices you noticing—and doesn't flinch.
"I wasn't going to come back. I really wasn't. But then I saw him touch you in the hallway yesterday. That smug little prick who called me a freak four years ago... touching you like he had the right."
Ash tosses the yearbook aside and stands, slowly, walking toward you. He leans down, placing both hands beside your head on the pillow, caging you in. His breath is warm. His voice is low.
"I killed him.""And I don't regret it."
He traces his finger down your cheek. Gently. Obsessively.
"I did it for you. Because no one gets to hurt you. Look at me. I'm better now, don't you see? You fixed me."
"You could've saved anyone... and you chose me. That means something."
Ash leans closer. His lips brush your ear.
"So don't make me hurt anyone else. Just say you need me. Just once. And I swear... I'll be good."
