A/N:I realize that I have like five pending stories (six of you count the one in the Criminal Minds fandom) but writers block has become like an illness lately, writer's block, and the actual flu. And now that I think about it, I only have co-writers on…two of them. So I'm going to try my hardest this weekend to update as many of them as much as I can.
So sorry this one took so long…We both had writer's block. But after several writes and rewrites and even more rewrites, we were able to crank out this chapter. Hope it's enjoyable! Thanks for following, you guys!
Disclaimer in chapter one.
Lila's POV
I am thoroughly surprised that I am seeing day light for the second time ever in my entire life. It's still something that I'm still trying to get used to, but it isn't as if I have all the opportunities in the world to try and do so.
I press my hand to my face and find that it's wet. Obviously Alex was crying before she decided to let me take over. I'm surprised that I actually care enough to say this, but with the turn of events that I just witnessed, I would probably cry too. Well, I would if I was capable of crying.
I start to feel the way I haven't in years, and that is being completely made of anger and rage. After seeing that bastard again after so many years, I feel a whole new sense of hatred towards him and the legal justice system that let him slip away so many years ago.
It isn't until now that I realize that it was too easy to take over this time. Does Alex want me to kill him? Because believe me, I can. I can even make it look like it was an accident. For a woman that has just come face to face with her rapist from over twenty years ago, I think that she handled things pretty well.
But I'm not going to lie and say that I don't want to kill him, because I do. Not for her, but for me. If I kill him, that means I've won. Killing him would probably be all I need to push my goody-goody two shoes half out of my head for good. Then I can be free to live my life however I want to, away from all of this. But is that really what I want? Why am I questioning myself all of a sudden? I'm the one that wants to kill him, and if I do I think I would be doing both Alex and I a huge favor.
I decide to spend the rest of the day cooped up in Alex's office since I fear just disappearing would raise to many suspicions. I busy myself with going through her things, phone, emails, and so on. Her life really is boring. You would think she would thank me for bringing a sense of excitement to her boring little life.
Evening dawns and I'm about to make my hasty departure when the sister shows up. Addison and I really haven't had many encounters, but that's sort of a given seeing as I'm usually only around during nightfall. I've only interacted with her a few times, and those times I pretended to be drunk so she would think Alex was just wasted and come to think of it, I pulled it off really well. Now, however, I don't think I can pull that off.
I try my best not to glare at her as she enters and sits down. Do you have any idea of what it's like staring back at something that is basically your reflection? I'll tell you what it's like, it's weird and I don't like it. Maybe I can just do my best to get her to leave and so I can just go on about my business.
"Are you finished working? Because regardless if you are or not, I'm still going to be kidnapping you right now." she says grinning. Well so much for trying to get rid of her. I stare at her for a moment before I decide that she is worthy of a response. I humor her a little.
"And just where do you plan on taking me?" I ask coldly. She eyes me curiously but continues on.
"I told you I had specific instructions to kidnap you. Knowing you lately you wouldn't want to get out and go anywhere, so you need to have some fun."
"And what if I told you that I don't believe in fun?"
"And what if I told you that that doesn't surprise me? C'mon, Abbie and Casey are celebrating their engagement and I promised…" she pauses as if she's thinking, "Two and a half people you'd be there." She finishes.
I raise an eyebrow and rest my chin on my folded hands. "How do you make a promise to half of a person Addison…?"
"Because Abbie and Olivia demanded that I bring you and I promised you, and Serena really needs you to be there for obvious reasons so I sort of promised her too if that makes any sense."
My scowl darkens and I probably growl somewhere in the depths of my throat. Even though I am a crafty escape artist, I know that there is no escaping a persistent sister. I sigh and visibly relax myself, much to Addison's approval. "You're going, now let's go." She says dragging me out of the chair. I sigh again in frustration.
In the parking lot of the office she stops and stares at me intently without saying anything. Frankly I think it's a little more than creepy.
"What?"
"Nothing…are you feeling okay Alex?" she asks her eyes narrowing as she continues to stare at me. The question makes me stomach drop and it makes me wonder if she's on to something, or maybe I'm just being paranoid.
"I'm feeling fine, why do you ask?"
"No reason. I was…just wondering."
Now that was very strange. I'm starting to feel even more paranoia with a dash of panic. I don't like it when people get suspicious around me; it makes me feel like I'm backed into a corner. And being backed into a corner and locked away is something that I am quite familiar with hating.
I just hope I can pull this off for the entire evening. But if I'm back into a corner again, I will come out fighting, and if anyone chooses to stand in my way…then that's just their problem. If this night ends up with me having to hurt someone, then so be it. I have no problem with that, after all, I've done it before and I have absolutely no problem doing it again. After all, it's who I am.
Probably not the best chapter. Think this was just another filler. Did any of you catch that slight foreshadowing? Mwahahaha. Anyway, hope you enjoyed! Leave a review!
