strange love [tenebrous]

something scrapes outside. there's a dragon in the alleyway and a troll under the bed - and there's something that's opening the door. pried open. slowly. so very slowly. the way fingers tipped with venom claws tick and scratch and scar the wood. so very softly. timed with the rapidfire staccatto of a child's heartbeat. racing. anticipating. fearing. hating.. it's not really there. it can't be there. the monsters are supposed to be under the bed.

once that weight hits the bed there's no more question.
it's out! it's out! run away!

close your eyes, little one, just pretend you're not there anymore.

i thought my bed was my haven.
[it's where i can always find you]

down pillow muffles the screams.
[nobody else will know]

face down. biting. crying. i shouldn't have to know such terror. such pain.
just wait a little longer, and it'll all be over.
just a dream.
just a dream.
just a fucking dream.

screams become whimpers. whimpers become the softest keening wail. this. isn't. happening. to. me.
littlest body curls up to pull away.
protect me.

there's a monster on the bed.
can i hide under it?

fingers play through hair. long strokes timed with the way the bed twitches and shakes and jerks. touching. caressing. exploring. molesting. petting supple body no stronger than a kitten's.

do you want me to purr motherfucker?

i can't

and it's not over yet.
brace yourself, my love

the weight of a hand sliding over lower back. following the dips and planes of childish hip. finding what's all too warm inside. the shadows on the wall find a faster rhythm and the bed trembles in fear when the monster opens its mouth and groans. it's happening again. already? but.... but i haven't recovered....it still hurts.... just one more time and you can go back to sleep. this becomes another bad dream.

then why am i bleeding in the morning?
[it's allright. trust me. it will all be allright. shhhhhhhh.]

you're a real sick fuck, you know that?
[yes.]
i'll make you regret this.
[there's nothing you can do about it]

watch me.
