Chapter Fifteen (Kyler's POV)
I couldn't tell Remi what happened.
I let him make his own assumptions because I wasn't about to relive all of that humilitation and pain. I also wasn't about to get myself into deeper trouble with the Amethyst pack. They proved last night that they have plenty of strength and it made my insides clench to think about it.
Instead, I forced myself to wake up the next morning in the Luna Plantation house. Sunlight was warm on my face, bright and white as it stretched across the room to the bed.
I felt a strong, muscular arm around my waist, holding me against a hard chiseled chest.
Remi had fallen asleep with me.
Something about that made me smile.
I slid my hand over Remi's arms, tracing it to his fingers that were resting against my abdomen. I laced my fingers together with his and squeezed gently. Remi murmured something inaudible in his sleep and hugged me to him tighter.
I sighed, my eyes scanning the room before I looked back at the dust particles dancing in the sunlight.
I wanted to leave, in all honesty.
It wasn't Zaid or Scythe. In fact, they were part of the reason I didn't want to leave. They had saved my life in so many ways and it was hard to let go of someone you considered older siblings. At the same time, I didn't want to be anywhere near Luc or Seven.
Sylvian had just stood there, frozen in place. He obviously didn't know how cruel people could be and that experience was probably going to be burned into his memory forever. Another jolt of humiltation shot through me at that.
Now whenever he saw me, he'd see...
I gritted my teeth and shut my eyes tightly, feeling my muscles tense.
That was the last thing I wanted anyone to see of me. Of course, Nythara hadn't even seen it and he already saw me as... that. For some reason, the only thing I could really think about it now was:
Thank Goodness they didn't have the instruments that Jack and Ash had used on me.
Needles, metal clasps, leather clothes, the drugs, whips.
Not that I was saying last night was pleasent.
Because it wasn't.
My hips still ached and my throat still felt raw. The cuts that were now hidden behind bandages stung whenever I moved and my head still throbbed with pain.
And let's not forget, my ego was crushed down to a molecule now.
I felt the hate, rage, and humilitation driving me kill them, the same way Jack and Ash had died. I wanted them to suffer. I wanted them to die slowly and painfully, but I couldn't do it. Remi didn't know his family had done that and I wasn't going to tell him.
In the end, they were family and the last thing I wanted to do was rip it apart.
I just wanted to leave.
Leave with Remi and go places. Go to school. My throat clenched.
"I'll even send you to school." Remi had told me. It was that one sentence that drove me over the edge and I burst out crying like a big baby. Jack had once told me he'd send me to school, but his idea of schooling involved pain and punishment. However, I knew Remi wouldn't do that to me.
Something about Remi just felt like a lifeline. I didn't want to let go of him. I never wanted to leave him and the very thought of being without him made my heart clench painfully.
