“Pack your things. You’re moving in tonight” Damon stood from his chair and walked out the door. I caught up with him “I live in a shared apartment. Can’t I just tell my roommate-““No you can’t. You can’t tell anyone about this if you want to keep yourself and your family alive. Moving here now will keep them safe and away from danger. I can’t afford any setbacks”“I have to visit my mother in the hospital today,” I said. He paused for a moment.“Not tonight. They will be looking for you so you can’t risk it. I’ll find a way for you to do that later”. He called one of his menhe called Rocky, to take me to the car so I could get my things from my apartment.I arrived at Mr. Reeves penthouse later that evening. His penthouse wasn’t just big. It was a castle. Marble floors, golden chandeliers, art that looked like they belonged in a museum. It was luxurious yet cold and distant. I stood frozen in the entryway, clinging to the handle of the duffel bag tightly. An old lady walked towards

If I wanted to leave this house and this dangerous world behind without heartache, I needed to avoid Damon at all costs. I walked down the stairs, going straight to the kitchen. I saw Damon

I ran down the stairs swiftly while Damon followed- talking to someone on his phone. I could only assume it had something to do with the situation.Thoughts of my mother in critical condition filled me with guilt. I should have visited her sooner.The security guards patrolling didn't let me pass until Damon ordered them to. Rocky was already standing by the car, opening the passenger seat. I got in before Damon and fastened my seatbelts.The car was quiet, the weight of worry hanging in the air as we got to the hospital. By the time we reached our destination, I jumped out of the car and went inside.The reception recognized me instantly. “Emma, you're here.” She gave me a form to fill in immediately and began typing on her monitor. “Is he with you?” She gestured towards Damon.“Yes, he is,” I hesitated.“Then he'll also need to fill in a form.” The woman said calmly.“Is that really necessary?
