This was based off of a dream I had. You are warned.
Better instinct told her to run
Far away from the danger that lurked
Pressing around her mind like a warning
She should have seen it coming

Deep in her head was that fear once more
The fear that she would never fix
She was always so broken
And broken things were a waste in this world

Footsteps fell at a distance behind her
Somewhere in her head a clock began to tick
Panic seized her heart as the air around her thickened
His breath curled around her ear, a frightening gesture

Hands tightened around her shoulders
Lips brushed her neck
Every part of her screamed
Go, run, get away before it's too late

A hand clasped across her mouth
He knew exactly what to do
He pinched her nose with cold fingers
Her vision blurred, knees buckling beneath her

Attraction burned away till there was a hole
What he had been was everything she thought she wanted
His mind only focused on one thing as he touched her
The true intent, when seen, was a horrible thing

Darkness flooded every part of her
Pain screamed at her as she felt the end drawing near
They told her not to go off on her own
Now she knew she should have listened

Her insides rippled with agony as she breathed again
She wanted to scream, to force a sound through her lips
When nothing was uttered, her eyes burned with hot tears
A thunderous ticking filled her ears

She trusted what she could not see
The noise was too much
She weakly dragged her hands around her ears and pressed hard
The sound was something she didn't want to hear as she lay dying

Light filled her sight as she struggled to open her eyes
She shrank back slowly as someone touched her cheek
A voice murmured, though distant, if she could stand
Warm hands gripped her close, pulling her away from the cold

The beast lay in a pool of his own blood
Something glistened silver in the dark
His unmoving eyes wide in terror
He should have seen it coming
