Another Love Story

Chapter 20

                                                   Right after one year of captivity...

                                                                     Amara's P.O.V

Faking Stockholm syndrome was easy to a point. I couldn't have sex with Zane at this point in my life I was too in love with Sebastian. Whenever I did try to kiss him or take it to second base I would cringe and scoot back. Zane would know I was just trying to fake it, so he never gave me the chance to drink his blood straight from his neck... He would pour a little bit on a glass and would put a lot of vervain on it...

I was frustrated... I couldn't keep track of time... I live in the now... Each day seems like the one before... Nothing in this island ever changed. I even stopped trying to escape. It just not worth the pain Zane put me thru. He was smatter and always stopped my attempts.  I don't know what Zane was doing to himself but he manages to be stronger than me... Of course, he barely fed me... I hated him with a passion... If I ever get a hold of his neck, I would rip it off... I  was a fucking vampire for fuck sakes! Zane managed to make me feel like any other normal girl being kidnapped by a man. He was human! I should be able to take him down, yet I couldn't... I wasn't going to fight my way off this island as weak as he kept me. I had to fake it... Yet whenever I started planning I just saw Sebastian's face and me telling him I cheated on him to save my life... it sounded like an excuse. I hurt the poor guy ever since I met him and I just wouldn't live with myself if I hurt him again. I need to get out of here without having to use my charms in that way... I just had to be patient, sit tight and wait for my window... 

I don't know how much time passed but he stopped putting vervain in my glass. He was falling for my acts again. I notice something else too. He didn't look as healthy and as strong as a few days? Weeks? Months? Ago...I don't know, all I knew is that he doesn't look well. I was drinking the only glass of blood I would get for the day when I kept staring at him... He put his hands on the syringe instantly, but he wasn't staring at me... He was lost in thought.

"Are you ok?" He frowns and looked up staring at me.

"What?" He asked not hearing what I just said. I stared at him with a frown and for the first time, I ignored the blood in front of me. Zane seems jumpy and out of it.

"Are you ok?"  I managed to sound worried and I high five my self mentally.

"Yes." He snaps. "Why do you ask?" I wince faking being hurt by his outburst.

"You... seem off today." He glared at me and stood up storming towards me. I stood up fast and started walking back to get away from him. He walked faster and put a hand on each side of my arms.

"It's been a fucking year Amara!" My mouth snap open and my body slung.  I been with this psychopath for a whole year? "I can't let you turned me into a fucking vampire yet. You'll kill me." I gulp. So he saw right thru me still? 

"Zane... I am not human... I will never change... I can't love you... I tried." That last part was a lie, but he seems to be eating out of the palm of my hand. "I know there's a girl out there for you... but that girl is not me... I belong with Sebastian-"

"Stop talking." He murmured getting angry at the mention of his name.

"Just let me go-" I whispered.

"You think He cares about you?" I winced but I hid the pain his words caused me.

"Zane... Sebastian does not simply care about me-" He smirks smug thinking he got to me. I continued talking. If Zane did love me... He could be reason with... "Sebastian loves me. I know for a fact he does love me. I know no matter how long we wait here... Sebastian is going to be on the other side of the world waiting for me. Always and forever until forever ends." I smiled remembering our promise. "He might of stop looking for me... After a year so would have I, but I would never stop waiting for him and I know he's out there waiting for me." He glared at me and put a hand on my neck and pushed me harder against the wall.
