Until Death

I'm not really sure if I should be writing this or not. After all, she told me to keep it a secret but what is happening in her life is something I, as a writer, cannot ignore. Usually, keeping secrets is my forte yet I still cannot comprehend how she kept this hidden from me so long. I shouldn't have been surprised though. I even now, she is still an enigma to me. And she is still the closest thing to the goddess of love on earth to me though I have long since given my heart to a different girl.

She came to me in the early morning a few hours past midnight, the time where I am the most awake. When I saw her outside my door I knew that something truly horrendous had happened. Pale faced and shaking violently I let her into my home. Saying that she looked disheveled would be a great understatement of the obvious. Before I had a chance to give her something to calm her, she latched onto me and the flood of tears that she had held back was let loose. Utterly dumbfounded, I didn't move but I ran my fingers through her hair and murmured to her that everything would be fine. I tried to think of what would cause her to be in such a wreaked state but nothing came to mind.

Slowly the flood turned into the occasional sob as she calmed down.

"Lex...it was awful. Just awful! Seeing her in so much pain...I never want to see another human in such pain again!"

The floodgate opened up once more as she started to cry again. I tried to keep my voice as soothing as possible, "It's ok.You're safe with me."

"Lex, he tortured her! Used her for his own pleasure and I can't get those scenes out of my head!"

I still couldn't comprehend what had happened. I though it might have been something that had happened on the job but I kept up with local news and the police communication channels all the time so that basically ruled out everything that was plausible.

"Katie, everything is alright. Just relax. I can't help you if you can't tell me what happened."

I shouldn't have said anything at that moment. I probably made things much worse than it already was.

She said something I couldn't understand a word of it but she would mention this conversation we had years ago over and over again. Something about me calling her the goddess of love.

It's the first part of a story that I'm writing. I really don't know much about except for there's going to be ghosts (some of them vengeful), romance, and an awesome battle sequence.
