Kidnapped

Chapter XV

“I’m sorry. I just can’t stand it. I can’t stand anything. I feel too much.”

“Why won’t you attack me?”

“What kind of question is that?”

“Like you did with Adam. Why are you refraining? I should’ve been laying dead already.”

“I don’t feel like attacking you. You don’t…smell. He does. Even now I can feel his presence but he’s too far to make me lose my control and rip his neck, although I am not sure if I would feel sorry about it.”

“Stop it.” I raised my hand to reach for his neck and to pull him closer, but he anticipated and grabbed my wrist leading it to his cheek.

“You are so warm…”

That was so tempting. I looked intensely at his lips whilst biting mines and I could see scars from the fangs at the end of their corners.

“You won’t leave again, will you?”

“I don’t want to hurt you.” he replied.

“That’s perfect. I’m truly safe with you around. You shouldn’t leave me.”

If for me this moment was way too much than I could handle, I would be wondering how it felt for him. Can you call love a feeling that in reality is insignificant but then was ten times stronger?

“I want to kiss you.”

Upon hearing these words, only the feeling of relief managed to awaken something in me.

Still, my look was blocked, unable to shape it by emotion. I was still incapable of displaying my feelings on my face. Now, although my blood was rushing, even on the inside, my feelings faded away. I was literally numb. And I panicked.

“Andrea? Are you ok?!” I heard Adam screaming.

“Don’t pass out! Andrea, stay with me.”

“James, I am coming!”

“You stupid suicide! Don’t come any closer or I will rip your throat out!”

“C-call Patrick…”

**********************************************************************************

I have never passed out before. Even this time, I could still sense the way I was worn on James’ arms, the only commotion that gave action to everything, the sound of the engine... I could hear Adam’s steps which for me seemed to be miles away. My sight was blurred and my hearing distinguished the sounds as if they were echoes. But what I felt most was pain. Such sharp pain that was almost audible. Sometimes it felt like somebody was scratching slate stone with nails made of steel, sometimes as if a soldier was sharping his sword by his shield. And when I felt it, spams were piercing through me.

I opened my eyes to see that James was fully shifted and that we weren’t in the truck with Adam given the fact that he was long gone home to avoid… his death.

James had his lips bonded on my forehead, whispering me that I was going to be alright and that he won’t let anything hurt me. He was running really fast. He was obviously desperate and I wished to calm him down but my speech was blocked. Instead, I grabbed his jacket and squeezed it in my fist as hard as I could so I could catch his attention and to soothe him. I knew he understood because slowly, slowly he started to slack, until a point where he completely stood still and looked down at me. He was resuming to his human form, carrying me in his arms and while I still was dizzy and sleepy he approached to my face more and more until his lips finally reached mines in a perfect, warm and familiar kiss.

He stood up, continuing to walk towards the house and with my last heavy breathe I could see with what such pride and arrogance James could look at Adam, who was blocking the front door.

Disappointed but once again mostly guilty, this time I didn’t pass out anymore, I simply fell asleep.
