private (between Starfox and silverroses2009)

"I did not do anything. Ow stop your hurting me." Why did she keep coming to him when he was just hurting her like this. Now it was physical. Even so she kept her towel on his wound.

[Starfox]

"Someone did. And we're alone here. And I didn't do it." Craig was getting louder, almost screaming, and his hands were like vices now - she'd have marks on her arms in the morning. His eyes were still not properly focusing, and he was shaking his head. "What do you want? What do you want with the towel?"

[darkvamplips]

"I didn't do it please believe me." She took her hands off her towel and gripped his arms. "Let me go. You have a cut on your head from something. Please." Tears filled her eyes again.

[Starfox]

He stared at her, then pushed her back violently, the sudden release from the pressure on her arms almost hurting. "Get out! Get Away!" He scooted back, starting to sob.

[darkvamplips]

When he pulled away she gripped her shoulder in pain. "Please tell me what's going on." She watched him scoot away from her almost as if he's scared.

[Starfox]

This time he was screaming "Get OUT! Get out of the house!" and started to throw candles, half-burnt, at her. "Get out before it's too late!"

[darkvamplips]

All she did was stare at him and then got up to leave. She would not leave the house but left the room. That was the last time she would come running in there.

[Starfox]

A candle hit her on the back of the head when she was at the door, and she could hear him sobbing, and mumbling something that sounded like "Run." Then the door closed, and she was alone, in the dark.

[darkvamplips]

She was not going to leave the house and grabbed her head when he threw the candle. Tears filled her eyes as she went into her room and under the covers alone. "Stop." She whispered laying her head down.

[Starfox]

After a bit she heared more trashing noises, as if Craig was demolishing his room. Curses too, mostly about the lack of light. Then he sarted to call her, ordering her in a hsterical voice to bring the lights back, at once.

[darkvamplips]

She winced when he started thrashing and cursing again. The last thing she would never have thought he would do was hurt her. "I can't the powers out." She yelled back at him.

[Starfox]

"Get it back then, idiot!" Craig was sounding and acting more and more irrational. She hears a few more curses she's never thought he'd use, and some gibberish that does not make any sense. Then she hears heavy footsteps, and her door gets pushed open. "Get out and do something!"

[darkvamplips]

She jumped when he opened the door and turned toward him. "I can't do anything until the power company fixes it. There is nothing I can do." She just wanted to go to sleep now and closed her eyes hoping he would go away.

[Starfox]

Craig would have none of it. He moved to her bed, and grabbed her arm again. "You can do something, you have to do something. The dark is not right!" He sounded hysterical, and on the edge of breaking down, panting heavily. His face was covered with a sheen of water - and cold sweat.

[darkvamplips]

"Your hurting me please let go." She pulled at his arm not wanting to be hurt again. The baby was in trouble if he hurt her at all and she did not want that.

[Starfox]

"Go? Yes, you should go - go and do something. Or simply go away!" He screamed at her, pulling her out of the bed. The only light came from a flickering maglight he was holding, and the beam of the lamp kept ruining her night vision her while he swung it around erratically.

[darkvamplips]

"Craig stop." She screamed when she was being thrown how could he do something like this to her. "Your hurting me." She put her hands on his and tried to pull him free.

[Starfox]

He let her go, panting. His face was hidden in the darkness, the beam of his lamp on herself, but she could see him tremble. "Get the lights back before it's too late!"

[darkvamplips]

"I'll go look but it wont work I told you." She went downstairs and out the front door to check if all the lights were out on their block.

[Starfox]

All lights were out, and the rain hit her in the face almost like a blow when she opened the front door - the storm was still raging. In a very short time she was soaked to the bone.

[darkvamplips]

Her heart sank as she saw the light out then went back inside. "The power is out for everyone." She called in and then sat on the couch wrapping a warm blanket around her.

[Starfox]

The beam from Craig's lamp cut through the darkness in the living room. "So? Do someting, damn it!" It was erraic, like his behavior, and wildly flashed around in the room, lighting up different parts of it at random.

[darkvamplips]

Taking a deep breath she let it out. "I have had enough of this. I can't do anything about it. The power is out you have to wait."

[Starfox]

"I... can't... wait." His voice sounded very strained, and close to breaking. "Don't you undestand? I can't wait, I can't stand the dark!" He stepped closer to her, his flashlight blinding her now, aimed straight at her head as if she was a cirminal under interrogation.

[darkvamplips]

She put her hands to block the light up to her face and sighed. "You never had a problem with being in the dark before." She said quietly looking at him hoping the baby was still ok in her stomach from earlier.
