ALEXIS'S POV
" I got this for you " Jace comes up behind Alec , Michael and I with something in his hand .
He extends it towards me with a small smile . I look closely at what it is .. It seems to be a soft toy of some kind . A vampire soft toy . It was pink , circular , large and drawn onto it were , large red eyes and small fangs with blood dripping from them .
If I had seen it on a normal day , I definitely would have thought that it was cute . At this point ? It made me so angry that I wanted to cry .
Why did he get this for me ? Does he think that I'll forget what happened just because he gave me a stupid toy ? Is that the worth of my best friend's life ? Is that all it takes to forget the only reason you lived happily ?
I want to spit on it but restrain myself . I don't want to anger him . Everytime I say something even possibly off putting to him , all I remember is his hand in Aeron's chest and I don't want to find out what he would do
ALEXIS'S POV I was just about to cut the phone when I felt hands on my waist causing me to jump and let out a scream . I instantly put the phone in my pocket without cutting the call . "What the hell?" I said as I pulled back my head and smacked it to the person's head behind me. "Ow.." I said rubbing my head . I backed away and turned around slowly . It couldn't have been Jace because I'm literally on the phone with him . Did he send Alec or Michael ? One thing is for sure , the person's head was a freaking rock! I feel like I broke mine by hitting his . "Quite feisty aren't you?.. I was wondering for a few days why Jace was wasting his time in a girl. I guess now I know. You're sexy.." The guy had jet black hair and blue eyes. He had a scar starting from his left eye down to the corner of his mouth. He rubbed his forehead and his face was scrunched up in pain . Well .. so was mine , probably . For now , let's c
ALEXIS'S POV Jace walks through the door , followed by Michael and Alec . Jace was the only one half naked , wearing nothing except boxers . I look away instantly . His eyes were boring into me . I couldn't stop myself from being drawn to them and looking , only to find that they were pure black and deadly . Scar man pushes me harshly aside and I fall to the ground , losing my balance . Jace growls murderously . He charges forward as Scar man cocks back his rifle and shoots him . " It has silver bullets ! " I yell . Jace seemed unfazed by my comment though Alec and Michael stepped aside , dodging the fire . He kept walking forward . Despite getting shot at repetitively , with the bullets lodging in his body causing him to bleed . Threads of silver color radiate outwards from the lodging of the bullets throughout his chest . I ... was horrified , to say the least . " Why aren't you dodging them ? " I whispered .
ALEXIS'S POV " If you're kidnapped and you know it clap your hands . " I clap twice . " If you're kidnapped and you know it and you really wanna show it , if you're kidnapped and you know it clap your hands . " I sing sarcastically and clap twice . Nobody responds . " Come on guys , it's a 30 min drive . Don't do this to me " I pout . " Let's play a game . " Michael's eyes sparkle as he says it . " What ? Like one of those ' name the countries ' kind ? " I ask curiously . I've never been on a roadtrip or anything of the kind before so I don't know what people usually do . The only places I went to were with Aeron and we didn't really go far just in case my dad found out and we had to rush back to make up an excuse for where we've been . I smile . Those were good times , indeed . Though I felt suffocated and imprisoned in my own home , spending that time with Aeron made it beautiful . " What ? Ew no way&nb
ALEXIS'S POV We pass by the fireplace next to the stairs and climb up the steps . " Not again " Alec and Michael mutter. " Isn't there an elevator here ? " I look around . There really isn't . I was right about it being out dated . How would we survive here ? " Can't we slap him awake ? " Michael asks as he supports half of Jace's weight on his shoulder . I scowl at his comment unknowingly causing him to smile . " Don't worry Alexis , we won't slap your lover " I slap Michael on the back of his head causing him to yelp ' ow ' , I realised that it was a bad idea when Michael almost lost his balance but brushed it off easily . " Quit messing with her Michael , she had a long day . " Alec scolded him . " THANK YOU . You are my true saviour , Alec . " I wipe away fake tears and put on a ' pained smile ' . " He's started shivering again . " Alec notes and I frown . We should get to the room quick . As we go up the st
Ch 20 " It's okay " I hear a whisper behind me . My breath hitches in my throat , my mouth goes dry and my heart sounds pounding . I decide to muster up the strength to turn around , even if it's slowly and amidst my heart beating so fast that I can hardly hear anything other than it anymore . I'm hoping , that it's just Michael and Alec messing with me , perhaps I left the door unlocked and they took the opportunity to scare the crap out of me for entertainment purposes . I am fine with that .. I gulp . I am pretty sure I locked the door though . ' Just do it . Turn around . Don't be scared . Ghosts aren't real ' I turn around in an instant , almost getting a whiplash and look behind . There was ... Nothing there. I sigh with relief . I must have imagined it . They say that stress and sleep deprivation can affect the brain in many ways that scientists are just beginning to understand . It m
Ch 21 ALEXIS'S POV I turn on the knob and twist it to warm water . I let the water wash away my troubles . Every time I am in a bad mood , I decide to let the water do it's work and cleanse me , even if it doesn't work sometimes , at the very least it's a bit relaxing . Something is better than nothing is it not ? As I'm in the shower , I hear a knock on the door , followed by Alec and Michael's voices . " Guys ... did you hear something strange last night ? " Michael asks . My hands freeze during mid - shampooing . Their voices fade out , they probably moved to another room . I finish my shower as quickly as I can , not wanting to miss the conversation that was about to occur . I wash my hair , body and pat myself dry in less than 2 minutes . Then I brush my teeth and throw on the clothes that I set aside for me . After I'm done , I head outside my room only to find that no one was there . There was a bedroom and a sort o
Ch 22 * Trigger Warning : The following chapter may have scenes that some readers may find uncomfortable , especially sexual assault victims . If you would just like a summary instead , skip to the very end and read it . Then you can simply move on to the next chapter * ALEXIS's POV I can't look away from the couple sitting at that table . The whole time , the wife is sniffling and wiping away her tears as she eats her food trying not to taint it with her natural saltwater . The husband , on the other hand , seems mostly unbothered , eating quietly . Almost like he is pretending that he doesn't notice whatever is going on with his wife . It's none of my business though . I eat my food in silence trying to ignore the couple . Jace looked at me and followed the direction of my gaze and possibly figured out the source of my concern . From under the table , I feel his hand on my thigh . I look up at him and
I wasn't furious .I wasn't angry .I just wanted to get away from him . I was sad that he could do something like that to me , despite my protests . I felt disgusting .Cade was still staring at me , lavishing every look , every glance and every area of my body . I hear a few knocks at the door . Cade doesn't move and I'm too afraid to ." Alexis , are you alright ? " I hear Michael's voice .I want to scream that I'm not , but I'm not sure if I should .But as soon as Cade growls and places his lips on my neck again , I knew there was no other option . I wasn't strong enough to fight him off . " Michael ! Help me ! " My voice cracks . I've never felt so embarrassed . So powerless . More than I hate him , I've never hated myself more .And yet I still got caught up in his lies . I stayed . I .. I'm an idiot . I'm such a fucking idiot . I actually thought he cared about me but I gues
