open waters she walks on

Mom entrusted you to watch me for two days. My sister was in Hawaii and you just turned twenty. I always thought you were handsome but Jesus, I was only thirteen. Your skin reminded me of milk and your eyes were like a deep amber fire but I didn't know these were dark eyes of a monster.

We watched TV on the couch and laughed about Beast Boy's infatuation for Raven. It wasn't really funny his futile efforts were.

I asked you if you wanted something to eat. "Sure," You said and I said the same thing back. You watched my lips like a wolf eyeing a helpless deer. You wanted something more and I didn't know.

After we dined on pizza rolls you cracked open a beer. It smelt cheap but I said nothing because I thought it was cool.

"Want some?" You asked stretching your arm out to put the bottle in my face. The smell wafted into my nose and it was terrible. "It won't hurt you any. You can trust me, sweetie." I knew this comment was weird yet I said nothing. Because I did trust you.

I took a sip and you smiled with your perfect wolf teeth. You claimed it would be alright and that he wouldn't snitch on one condition.

"What is it?" I ask tilting my head. You watched my hair cascade with it. You'd always liked my hair. You liked that it reached my ass.

"How about you do something for me?" You placed the bottle on the table next to the couch.

"What?" I asked again.

"Take those clothes off and show me that pretty little teen body,"

I was speechless. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

You started getting agitated when I said no. "Ocean, please you'll like it.

"No," I protested walking up the stairs.

The next think I knew I was in my bed and you stared over me. You eyes were filled with hatred and rage. "Next time I ask you to do something, you're gonna fucking do it, okay?"

No. I wanted to scream out but his hand was tight around my throat. I didn't like this, I liked him but not this.

I knew what was happening and it was wrong. He pulled down my pajama pant admiring what was underneath. I kicked and hit him which fueled him more. He liked the pain and fear.

After it was over he smiled. I was left naked crying. He comforted me and claimed he made it better and he even started crying.

"I'm sorry you just... reminded me of Mari when she was your age. When I knew she actually loved me. I'm sorry, baby. We can keep it a secret, okay?"

I said okay and let it keep happening.

Now every now and then you come around and smile at me. And wait for a moment when were alone to pounce and sink your teeth into my young fawn flesh.
