Hey guys! Thanks for all of the fantastic reviews! You are all amazing! It is because of you that I will continue. I'm going on a Pioneer Trek from Wednesday to Saturday and will not be able to upload, but that's plenty of time for thoughts right? Um, I'll upload today and tomorrow! (Hopefully)
Recap: Chloe went into hiding. Chloe died. Again. That's 6.
I'm pretty sure my agonizing screams of death tore through the entire castle like a tornado. I heard heartbeats speeding up through the stone walls. I convulsed in pain as the fire seared my neck back together sealing major veins and arteries. When the pain finally began to ebb I tried to lift my head and found it impossible. It hurt so much even now. I heard footsteps and fear crept through me at the thought that the assassin had come back to do it again. I tried to lift my head again but I simply could not do it. But as the footsteps drew nearer I felt adrenaline rush through me and in one painful jolt I flipped from my back to my feet, poised for a threat. When the footsteps reached me I realized that it was Sebastian. He grimaced when he looked at my neck, but in my relief, I fainted. He caught me and carried me back through the dark halls of the castle.
When we finally came out into a normal corridor he carried me to my room. Valentina and Jasmine were pacing. I had not fully passed out, only enough that I had no energy to do anything but look and hear. He laid me on my bed and I heard Valentina speaking softly to Alek through the line.
"Yes, she's here…in bed…Sebastian found her and brought her here…I don't know…you'll have to ask one of them." As soon as she hung up, Alek came through the door. He was in Sebastian's face in an instant.
"I trusted you to watch her for a few hours. And you let her off your guard and she got hurt." His voice was like Acid and it made me wince, which in turn hurt my neck and I gasped in pain. Alek turned to me and I looked in his eyes. Through his eyes I could feel unimaginable pain, fury, disappointment, and jealousy, but I could also feel joy and extreme happiness, love, and possessiveness.
"Chloe," Valentina started but hesitated.
Alek cut her off, "Chloe, were you hurt?"
I nodded, but hissed in pain, "Yes. I…I died. Again." Alek's fists clenched and he looked like he was ready to kill someone. Everyone in the room took one big step back from him, and if I wasn't in so much pain, and he wasn't so infuriated, it would've been comical. But no, it was threatening.
We locked eyes and then I did something I didn't know I could do. I sent him some peace; I calmed him with my own worn out emotions. He relaxed noticeably and walked over until he could touch my face. I ignored the pain and buried my face in his palm. He smiled down at me and looked back at Valentina, silently asking her for privacy.
Everyone left and I began talking, my voice hoarse. "Alek, I truly didn't mean to. I was only curious as to what the rest of the castle looks like."
He sighed. "Chloe, do you remember anything about the assassin?"
I shook my head. "I didn't see a thing, he was good. He came up behind me put the knife against my throat and before I could tell or scream or defend anything he slit my throat and walked away. And don't even try that whole 'you just aren't training well enough' thing. This attacker was amazing and not even you would've known he was there. It was like he turned off his heartbeat until he was right behind me." I winced when the argument got a little overenthusiastic and I hurt my neck. Alek lay down in the huge bed next to me and kissed my neck where it hurt. He kissed it softly and gently until I felt my pulse picking up and pulled his head by his hair to my lips. He leaned over me, with his weight on his hands so as not to crush me, and kissed me. It was one held with a smirk and a promise of forever.
"Chloe?" He asked.
"Alek?" I countered between his lips.
He pulled away but I followed him as far as my pain would allow me my lips still searching for his.
"When you found out that the leader of the Order was your father what did you feel?"
"Absolutely nothing. I didn't know him, past the fact that he wanted me dead. I didn't feel betrayal or hurt…Brian on the other hand. Well, that almost broke my heart. But then I realized I had you. And so when I was dying the first thing I told my mom was to call you, because I knew you cared for me and you would do your best to save me. I still can't believe my mom killed Whitney Rezza, but he had it coming. But having you, when Brian betrayed me, even with such a smooth line in which he did it—"
"Which was?" Alek asked with the faintest hint of a smirk.
"Tell me, does this smell like chloroform to you? And then he covered my face with a rag. Anyhoo, when that happened, I knew I could go on, because I had you, and I would always have you. Because, because even then I loved you, even though I didn't quite realize it." Alek grinned and kissed me again.
"Chloe, I hope you know that if you thought I was annoyingly protective before, I'm now going to be breathing down your neck every second of every day, and I mean that, sleeping in my arms…" He cuddled be against him and kissed my neck again.
"Alek, the only breathing you're allowed to do down my neck is the heavy kind that comes with lost of kissing."
"Chloe, I do believe that could be arranged." He smirked and kissed me full on the lips until we were both breathless and I opened my mouth and allowed him entrance so that we could share our breaths.
Little did either of us know that a certain black clad figure stood outside my door listening to the entire conversation and the kisses being exchanged. Unfortunately for Alek and me he was too good at controlling his emotions. I could only feel the faintest covered up traces of jealousy, possessiveness, and rage.
I listened extremely hard for a heartbeat and Alek noticed as I became serious. "Chloe?" His tone was worried.
I smiled reassuringly. "It's nothing." I kissed him again, but felt for the emotions, I found them once again.
But I could not find the heartbeat that went with them.
AN: Okay, so I really hope you liked it! I will most definitely try to post tomorrow, but you should know that I'm truly pushing myself! Haha! Um, if theres something else you want in there, let me know! Want me to make you a character…put you in your own little love triangle or something? Just Review and leave me your name, whether you want to be Mai or Human and the names of the people you want to have a LT with…(no Alek or Sebastian, I've got enough going on with them, thank you very much!) Um, lemme know what you think and predictions and whatever else you want to put? More action…sounds good to me! I've been dreaming in Chloe King for like 6 weeks so, I'm sure I can put something cool in there…oh, and I need to bring Amy, Paul, and Meredith into the story again…Amy and Paul are breaking up in the next episode (or at least that's what I got from the promo) so…lets see how great I can make their breakup…oh and should I do an Alek or Sebby (yes that's what I call him in my mind!)
