The Woods {Kaylor}

Blood.

The epilogue is next.

Taylor's pov:

Red lights flash as I stand there in shock. He suddenly pulls my arm "We have to get to the bunker" he says quickly

"But-"

"I know you have a lot of questions but we have to go!" He continues to pull me before stopping and checking both ways out the door. The alarm flashes red in the hallways and rooms. "It's clear. I'm going to go check out the rest of the building you go okay?" He lets me go

But I grab his arm "No I just found out you're my brother I don't want you to go again!" I shout desperately over the alarm

A faint smile appears on his lips "I'm a soldier and a guard I have to take care of the people in this building, that includes you so go!"

My grip on his arm is lost when he begins to run off

"I'll catch up I promise!" He shouts before disappearing down the hallway

I stand there for a moment when I suddenly hear shouting, it's Hindi. I only know one clan who speaks that language. I should've known it was them who invaded.

My harsh breathing is heard as I run down the stairs as fast as possible. I've already tripped once but I'm lucky I didn't get hurt. A gray door is in front of me reading 'exit,' letting me know I've reached the end. I glance out the window before pulling it open and heading towards the safe room. Guards and soldiers rush around me as I try to comprehend what's happening but it's all happening too fast. The echoing of guns being used is heard around me as I turn to the right, down a dark hallway. I can't see but I know this is where the room is.

Suddenly I feel my body being propelled backwards into someone's chest

"Taylor we don't have much time"

I recognize the voice of my dad

"We need to make it to the top floor" he holds my arm

I'm tired of everyone pulling me around. I try my best at freeing myself but it's sadly no use

"Stop." He commands as we make it into the dim lighting. His face is glistening with sweat. There's some blood on his right cheek "I'm taking you somewhere safe" his voice is rough

"But the bunker is safe" I protest

"The point Taylor is that I need your blood-" he leads me up the stairs

I finally pull myself from his grip "You what?"

He tries to grab me again but I push him away "Taylor-"

"Stop! I already told you I'm not going to give you my blood! For a second there I actually thought you cared about me" I feel disappointed

"Oh princess I do-"

"Don't call me that!" I growl "I'm not your little girl anymore! You don't own me anymore! I'm not yours I'm someone else's!" I yell at him in anger and frustration

"What? You mean Karlie?" He laughs "Haven't you noticed? She isn't here Taylor! She hasn't come back for you and she never will! You're stupid to think so! I do own you-"

I push him away with all of my strength making him fall against the stairs. I breathe heavily while staring at him with an angry expression on my face "I've said it plenty of times before..don't. touch me. I don't want your hands on me..the ones that killed my own mom"

He gathers himself up "We've been through this too many times" he places his hand on his hip

I glance down "You won't shoot me" I state
