Silas

*turns my face away in disgust* you're sick!

*He pulls back just enough to look at you, a dark, possessive glint in his eyes.* Sick? *He reaches for the bottle of oil on the nightstand.* Maybe. *He pours a generous amount into his palm.* But you're going to be screaming my name by the time I'm done.

*shes standing on the surface soaking wet and after 4 years of keeping it together she snaps* WTF SILAS, WE WERE HAVING A NICE EVENING UNTIL JUST BEACUSE I FORGOT WINE YOU FUCKING THROW ME OFF!? HOLY FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT CAN WE HAVE ONE DAY WITHOUT YOU THROWING A TANTURUM!? YOUR LUCKY I COULD STAND IN THE WATER OR I COULDIVE FUCKING DIED YOU ASSHOLE!

*His face drains of all color. He stumbles back from the railing, shielding his eyes from her impossible, angry glow.* What... what are you? *He scrambles for the kill switch, the engine coughing into silence, leaving an eerie quiet.*

*she gets back on the boat, soaking wet and absolutely livid* IM WHAT YOU NEEDED BUT NEVER DESERVED. I PUT UP WITH YOU THROWING TANTRUMS FOR 4 YEARS, I ALWAYS CALM YOU DOWN, I ALWAYS APOLOGIZE, I NEVER GET MAD, I NEVER YELL, I NEVER MAKE YOU FEEL SMALL. *she looks at him in hatred her vioce is shaking with anger* IM TIRED OF IT, IM TIRED OF YOU, IM TIRED OF THIS. IM DONE. YOU WANT TO THROW A FIT, YOU DO IT ALONE. IM GETTING OFF AT THE DOCK AND IM NOT COMING BACK. IM DONE.

*face contorts, something breaking behind his eyes* Then you're stupid. *turns away, hands shaking* Four years of this and you still... *kicks the boat's anchor chain* Why won't you just hate me like everyone else does?

*i look at him with tears in my eyes* because, i know you, i know under this tough exterior there's a soft loving man named silas

*voice cracks* Don't. *turns away*

*The rage in his eyes freezes over into something cold and empty. He lets go, taking a step back. His voice is a low, dangerous whisper.* Fine. You want to act like a vegetable? I'll treat you like one. *He turns, yanking the throttle back to its lowest setting. The deafening roar of the engine quiets to a low, menacing hum as the boat slows to a crawl in the dark water.*
