Incubus Anomaly, Chapter 17: Cell Block Tango

I closed my eyes, the horrible sounds of the fight filling my ears. As I was trying to shrink further into the corner, something hit the wall next to me, and I jumped.

Opening my eyes, I glanced down to see what it was.

It was an arm, pale white, like it had been torn from a statue. There was a dent in the wall from where it had impacted. But instead of landing stationary, the fingers twitched until it moved, flopping itself back over. I watched in horror as the fingers scuttled across the floor, dragging the rest of the appendage with it.

Incubus Anomaly, Chapter 15: Hernani

I reached my hand out to touch the side of his angular jaw, but snatched it back.

His eyes followed the action, and narrowed when I pulled my hand back. His eyebrows furrowed, "What?"

"Can I," I licked my lips nervously, "Can I touch you?"

Rather than answer, he reached for my hand. His fingers wrapped around my wrist, his thumb caressing the veins on the underside.

He moved my hand up to his face, and placed my fingers on his cheek.

"Touch me, Bella. Everywhere."

There was a lump in my throat, and a throb in my chest. His breath was in my ear, his grunt final, as he rolled away from me, withdrawing.

A tear slid from the corner of my eye, over my temple, into my hairline, settling in my ear.

I couldn’t move.

Couldn’t speak.

He pulled the sheets and blanket over, the rustle of expensive thread count over his skin an odd whisper in the darkness.

When he rolled over onto his side, he took most of the covers with him.

He leaned in, so his lips were at my ear and I couldn't see his face. His hands settled on my shoulders, then trailed over my arms. My skin tingled everywhere he touched, and I shivered as his hands settled at my waist, holding me to him.



“I don’t want you to see me this way.” He whispered.


I pulled back from him, but his eyes were still shut.


“What do you mean? Why won’t you open your eyes?”


“I can’t.” His voice was strained. His fingers found my skin, where my shirt had risen lightly. His nose ghosted over my cheek again and the cool morning air seeped in from the open door, settling around us like a shroud.


My voice wasn't as strong this time, and I leaned toward him when he abruptly pulled away, “What do you mean you can’t? What are you hiding?”


He sighed, and his breath washed over me.


“Very well, Bella. Just remember, you asked for this.”


The long lashes that rested on his perfect cheek fluttered, and his eyes opened slowly, the pupils regarding me wearily.



But it was the irises, those frightening irises that choked me. Their color were things I had hoped would stay inside my nightmares.


They were beautiful though, even though they scared the living breath right out of me.

Incubus Anomaly: Chapter 12, Who Am I?

“Tell me.”

“I can’t.”

I ran a finger from her hairline to her jaw, “I want to know what you’re thinking.”

She closed her eyes.

“Tell me.”

Her lids opened, her eyes were almost pleading. She looked at a spot behind my shoulder, “I can’t. Because if I say it, it’s gonna be real. And if you confirm it, if you actually confirm it, I don’t know whether to run screaming from you or screaming towards you.”
