LUCAS’ POV.

We got to the center late at night, and I’d rather call it a fortress, instead of an ordinary building. It went high into the sky with building materials that would naturally be used for a prison. The only difference was the light colors used for the paint.

I was taken in, and it looked every bit like an hospital, with people roaming around in white coats.

We took the elevator, and landed on a floor that was quite funny. The cells there were disguised as rooms.

A gate swung open, and I was pushed into one of them. The large wall was painted in pink, with white hearts scattered around it.

To my right were bars painted in cream, and in the next room was my roommate. It was a woman with red hair spilling over her shoulders, and a large tattoo of a snake over her arm.

To my left was a man, who looked completely normal and harmless. In my room, there was a large white bed, a television, a table, and a chair, with a set of drawers. The rug was a faint wine. It looked like th

    160JOHN’S POV.“Dahlia!” I heard Emily call, as I approached the door to her room, about to open it.“What is… what is going on!? Who are you? Why are you with her phone? What just happened? Tell me.” Emily continued to ask.“What!? The… the owner of the phone got into an accident? Ac… ac…how!?“A careless rider hit her? Why? Why would that happen!? What the hell was such a rider doing on the road? What is happening right now? Where are you taking her to?“Okay, okay, I’ll be there right now. I’ll be there!” She said, and I opened the door. She skidded to a halt, almost running into me. There were tear stains on her face, and she looked so scared that it thrilled me.“Where are you going?”“Dahlia just got into an accident. You remember Dahlia, right?” She asked, restlessly.“I do. Has she been taken to the hospital?”“They’re about to take her right now. I need to go see…“Why?”“Why?” She asked, creasing her brows, impatiently.“Is there any help you can give to her? If she dies, c

    159EMILY’S POV.“Stop.” I said, my voice ringing with terror, as I tried to push him away.“Stop? You must be kidding me. I’ve been holding back for so long. Do you know how much I’ve wanted to hold you?” His hand pushed back my hair to land on my cheeks. Even his touch made cold waves rise in my chest. Cold waves embodying terror.“John. I’m not married to you anymore. We have separate lives to live.” I said, swatting his hand from my face, staring at him with all the boldness I could muster.“Separate?” He asked, with raised brows.“I won’t let you touch me.” I said, venomously.“I’d love to see you try.” He said, dragging my arm.“John, stop! Are you going to stoop this low!? Stop it!” I cried, trying to fight against me. He pushed me to the bed, and I tried to run, feeling my heart beat right in my throat. It felt like it wanted to burst out.Before I could make it down to the floor, he dragged my hair, and I screamed, trying to pull his hand away. He straddled me, and began to t

    157EMILY’S POV.I hit the door severally, crying and wishing someone would just open it, and tell me Lucas had returned. Seeing him zapped with that Taser seemed to bring all my dreams crashing down.My heart was blown off into a thousand pieces, and lay at my feet. I couldn’t pick or piece them together. It felt like my heart was not pumping blood, but pain. It hurt with each beat.Finally, I was sinking down. I was sinking deep beneath the ocean of depression that I ought to have entered from the moment John broke up with me. Lucas had been the one to show up, and save me from it. He was gone, and I was finally left all alone—all alone to face John.Already my palm had turned pink, but I still hit the door, hoping I’d disturb him enough for him to hear, even though I knew he wouldn’t hear a thing.When my palm was all swollen, I ran to my window, swallowing my tears, and telling myself I’ll find Lucas.I pushed back my curtains, and opened the window. Night had fallen already. I ha

    156JOHN’S POV.Emily ran back to me, as the car went out of sight. She took my hand, staring at me with desperation as her beautiful eyes blinked, wet with tears.“Please… don’t do this. I beg you! This is a little too much. You have the antidote! You do. Why do you have to send him away?” She asked, holding on to my hand, as she cried.The feeling of her holding on to my hand gave me mixed feelings, but anger was the most prominent. She was only touching me because of Lucas. If I didn’t send Lucas away, she wouldn’t beg me.“I’ll be nice to you. I swear! Please just bring him back! They’re going to hurt him. John. John, please…” She begged, as more tears streamed down her face.“Now you’re begging? Now you wish to be nice?” I asked, and she nodded frantically.“Mira, take Raymond in.” Aunt Genevieve said, and I watched Uncle Will get into his car, ready to chase after the car that took Lucas.“John!” Aunt Genevieve called, sharply.“Please…” Emily cried.“Derella, take the kids in.”

    155LUCAS’ POV.John came to my room shortly after Emily had left.“Did you see my video?” He asked, after knocking. “I’m guessing you did. I hope Tray’s safe. He’s always sticking with you. Well, I have news for you both. Good news for me. I don’t know if it will be good for you.”“Your voice irritates me. Leave my door.” I growled.“Well. I would. Just calm down, or you can come and chase me away if you want to. So, the thing is… you are a danger to civilians. You know that, right? Everywhere you go, you’re a threat. A ticking time bomb. To us at home, to your workers at work, even to drivers on the road. What happens when traffic suddenly declares everything comes to a standstill? In cafes, restaurants, even while taking strolls, you’re a danger. Do you think it’d be nice for you to stay here?” He questioned.“What did you do, John?” I asked, getting to my feet.“Nothing much. Just saved a lot of people from fear, and worry.” He replied, casually.“I asked a question. Give me a str
