(Alexis's POV)
I ran outside, away from Conn's still body.
"NO!" I screamed long and loud till I fell to my knees in terror.
He cant be dead! He just cant be!
I tried unsuccessfully to convince myself.
But he's gone.
And its all my fault.
I killed Conn.
Ive actually killed Conn... Its all my fault... What do I do? Ive just killed the guy that loved me and that I loved too.
I closed my eyes tightly and screamed louder and longer.
My chest felt like someone had punched a huge hole in it, I just felt empty and sick now, plus I had a huge headache by the time I finished.
"Here." Someone passed me a drink
I looked up to Cage, he had tears stains on his cheeks and his eyes were really red
I stood up cautiously, holding my stomach awkwardly and whiped the tears away from under his eyes with my sleeve.
"Im so sorry..." I whispered, it hurt to speak but I deserved pain right now.
"Its not your fault." His voice was broken... Defeated.
"Yeah, yeah it is. I must of done something... When I kissed him." I gulped
"I doubt kissing him would kill him" He sighed
"But maybe I did something through kissing him! Maybe Im poiseness?" I stiffened, I was repulsed by myself now. Great.
"Alexis, you didnt kill him, that wouldnt kill him, he was poisoned but not by you." Cage hugged me tighter
"Oh." I slumped against his chest
He sat down on the steps and held me closely.
"I just wish... He wasnt murdered so... Cowardly."
"What? What do you mean?" I asked
"Poisoning someone is an act of cowardice. Plus I know who did this, and it means war between us." He pulled away from me and glared at the floor
"Who did it?" I whispered
"Drake."
