Runaway

Chapter 14: Warning

"Listen, smile, agree, then do whatever the fuck you were gonna do anyway." ~Robert Downey Jr.

Radiance's POV

After I told Lucas what happened, I decided to take a shower. I took one of Lucas' shirts again. I'm surprised I didn't finish his pile of clothes yet. I walked in the large bathroom and started filling the bathtub. I added some soap to the water to make bubbles and stripped out of my clothes. I couldn't help but glance at my reflection and study my body a bit. My skin was still extremely white, which made my blue eyes stand out. I had high cheekbones,  full plump red lips. The dark bags under my eyes were fading away, and in a couple of days there would be no traces of them. I looked at my stomach and flinched. The bruises and scar that my father had given me were still there, staring back at me, and yelling at me what my father has done. Although it has been over a week, the wounds still looked fresh. I sighed and stepped into the water, ignoring the scorching heat, and laid down in the tub. My tense muscles relaxed, and I started playing with the bubbles.

Now that I think about it, it's been a week and I still hadn't heard anything from my father. There was something really wrong with that. My father was not the kind to wait and plan. He would just run, attack and hope for the best. I can't believe that I'm related to him. And I knew that trying to forget him would be useless. First of all, he was going to attack us. Second of all, I have bruises and scars all over me that remind me of him. Third of all, I look like the female version of him. I inherited almost all his traits. Him and me are the same. Except that he's mentally disabled. I am too actually. I remember as kid, I shaved half my head and I glued my hair to my nanny's neck. It took around three months for my hair to grow back. I chuckled at the memory.

I miss this. Being with my normal family. Living a normal life. Having a normal room and not sleeping in the attic. Having normal meals. Doing normal activities. Having my normal father beat me at normal games and not actually beat me. I was a bit jealous of Lucas. He has an amazing life. He's the alpha of a pack. He has a beautiful mother and I don't know what to say about his father. The only sister I've met is fun. He has a mate. I wonder how we're mates. He's like the King, and I'm like the peasant that works in his fields. He's respected, I'm underestimated. He's stable, I'm going insane. He visits his parents every day, I'm on the run because of my father. Is it even possible for people this different to be together? 

I shook my head and shampooed my hair. What am I even thinking? If fate destined us to be together, then it's for a reason. We're complete opposites. I dipped my head in the water to remove the soap. But maybe.. Just maybe.. Our opposition can help us balance each other. My calmness can help him with his anger. And his confidence with my shyness.

I decided that I had been in the shower too long. I got out, drained the water and wrapped a towel around myself. I ran the towel on my body, drying it off, and put on the clothes. As I opened the door, I saw Lucas at the other side of it, his hand up as he was about to knock. 

"There's an emergency." He said. I raised an eyebrow. He dragged me to the entrance of the woods, and I saw a commotion. We pushed past the people, and I gasped at the sight in front of me.

Two guards were surrounded by a pool of blood. Their stomach was literally opened, and their organs were spread everywhere. I noticed white on their faces. I let go of Lucas' hand and approached the bodies slowly, making sure not to step in blood (or guts). I gasped. On one guard's face, there was a picture of me, and on the other's, a picture of Lucas. There was a paper between them that said:

"Still don't want to give her back?"
