Sins Of Her Venom

-Glyndon Walton: ( Song of the Chapter: Okay by Chase Atlantic)

I stood there, frozen, long after Kathrine disappeared over the balcony. My breath came in shallow, uneven gasps, my skin still burning where she had touched me.

My mind was at war with itself.

She had been in my room. In my space. Touching me. Whispering in my ear like she knew every dark thought that had ever crossed my mind.

And the worst part?

I had let her.

Again.

I clenched my fists, my nails biting into my palms. I needed to get a grip. I needed to snap out of this.

My legs finally moved, and I rushed toward the balcony, peering over the edge into the night below. Nothing. She was gone. Just like that.

A shiver crawled up my spine, and I took a shaky step back, my heart still racing. I slammed the balcony door shut, locking it this time, before stumbling toward my bed. But there was no way I was sleeping after that.

Instead, I sat on the edge of the mattress, my hands buried in my hair, trying to breathe, trying to think.
