BESSINA HID BEHIND one of the only cars in the parking lot, reprimanding herself for not finding a better place to hide. The man named Cole raced into the parking lot, and was most likely too fast for her. There was no way for her to get back to Trace’s car. He abruptly stopped. Bessina crouched as low as she could while keeping her eyes on the man through the windows of the car. Could she make a run for it?

“Listen, princess.” The man looked around and sniffed the air. His eyes landed on the car blocking Bessina from his view. He slowly walked her way. “I’m not like my friend in there. I tell it like it is, and I’m telling you this . . .”

Her heart raced and she couldn’t catch her breath. There was nowhere to run, but a small patch of woods, or the road leading to another darkened area.

“If you make me chase you, little girl, I’ll rip your heart out!” he bellowed, slamming both fists into the car, jolting Bessina to her feet. “Uh-uh-uh.” Cole shook a finger at her, warning her not to run. “I don’t want to chase you, but I will.”

Bessina stood still, hoping Trace would emerge from the store soon, because if he didn’t, she was going to run like hell into the darkness.

Cole’s voice lowered and he took a small step forward. “Now, come here,” he said, beckoning her.

Her feet were glued to the cement, frozen in fear. She begged her body to heed her demands; she needed to make a break for it.

He eyed Bessina, and as he took another step forward, she inched back. “Why must you people always make this so difficult?” Cole asked with a sneer. “I mean, I can make it feel good.” He looked at her appraisingly, eyes slithering over her body, making her fill sick to her stomach. “You know it’s coming and that you can’t escape. Why not just sit back and enjoy what I can do for you?” He quietly moved closer.

She shuddered and whispered, “Some people find dying unappealing.”

Cole gave a mirthless laugh that sounded more like a growl. “No, sugar. Death is easy. It’s living that’s hard.” He raised his hand and pointed to the dark sky. “People think the ultimate escape is death, but they are too weak to live. You are one of them. Let me help you. Let me end your suffering, while you fuel mine.”

Bessina knew better than to disagree with a crazy person, especially one with so much menace in his onyx eyes. She took another step back.

“Pain, loss, disappointment . . .” His words hit her hard, but he was a fool if he thought she wanted him to release her from her life. “You’re all just waiting for the day your suffering will end.” Cole took two large steps and grabbed her arm just as she dug her feet into the ground to run.

Bessina screamed and tried to wrench her arm free.
