"Are you serious?" were the three dumb words that escaped my lips.
His hopeful smile crashed and burned "yes" he said quietly looking at the ground.
Looking at him for a second I was just in such a state of shock "I…." I could not speak and my brain wasn't functioning properly.
Alex the guy that had kidnapped me and was a total ass to me the first few weeks and then so nice and sweet the last few days proposed to me. This seemed kind of rushed didn't it! My brain was telling me to slap him and scream some very bad words in his direction but the other part of me, my mushy side was telling me to say yes and kiss him. My common sense kicked in and I did something even stupider I laughed in his face.
"Yeah right" I laughed getting up and leaving the stage.
Everyone was staring at me in shock and well really pissed even Terry was giving me an angry look. Glancing back at the stage Alex looked devastated all because of me. What was I doing? The whispering started as I walked out the door but I blocked it out until I got outside.
"What am I doing?" I muttered.
"I don't know what are you doing?" the voice from before echoed in my head.
Sitting on a close by fountain watching the water trickle into the main water section. Drip drop over and over again.
"I'm so confused" my head told the voice.
It felt like counseling but it helped me.
"Do you love him?" the voice asked.
"I like him?"
"That didn't answer the question" the voice sings.
"No I don't love him its impossible to love someone after only slightly liking them for 2 days" I told myself more than the voice.
"Its called hidden attraction" the voice retorted "and you are connected with him in more ways than one".
"What do you mean?" I replied confused.
"Ask Layton he knows" the voice faded out.
"What am I supposed to say?" I said out loud.
A different voice replied to this "yes" it was Terry and she looked pissed.
"Hi Terry" I squeaked I had never seen her look so scary.
"What are you playing at" she seethed grabbing my arm "you just left that poor boy up on stage like that" she was fuming.
My eyes became watery I hated people yelling at me "he is not a boy he is a man" I pulled my arm out of her grasp "and what am I meant to say to that?"
"Yes" she said as if it were the most obvious thing "you like him don't you" I blinked at her "don't play dumb with me okay everyone knows you two have this thing going on" she snapped.
A few stray tears were now sliding down my smooth cheeks and she softened "I don't even know him and then when im thrown into this world I am meant to rush into it and get married and become a queen of darkness?" I screamed at her wanting to just let it all out so I did "I do like him yes but if you're going to get married to someone you should love them not like them and I don't even know if I feel either right now because he totally screwed my brain up" I hit myself in the head to emphasize it and started breathing heavily.
"Chill out" she grabbed my hand "do what's best think of what could benefit with you 2 as rulers together you are both extraordinary and powerful people" I looked at her surprised "yes I know about your powers" she added on.
Looking at her I whimpered pitifully "I don't want to get hurt" I whispered.
Terry hugged me "what do you mean?"
"All my life nobody has ever loved me I was always just this loner girl with a drunk mother every time I thought it would get better it got worse" I sobbed "I can't handle that again".
Terry nodded understanding "sweetie I know but sometimes to let good things happen you have to open up and take chances and I can assure you this is a good one".
Nodding and wiping the dry tears off my cheeks I smiled slightly "I want to talk to Alex" I whispered quietly.
She nodded and went inside and shortly after Alex came out. He looked worried and it was nice for someone to be worried about me in a non friend way. My stomach started churning as he sat next to me and waited patiently for me to start.
"Alex I don't love you" I started and he nodded "but I like you a lot" he smiled but didn't say anything "I can't get married yet and well isn't this rushed?" I shook my head looking at him.
Taking my hand he took a deep breath "I do love you and I don't know how but when I first met you I just felt drawn to you like we had some kind of connection or bond no matter how many times you pissed me off I just wanted to come straight back and start again as long as I was with you and then when dad told me I needed a bride to rule and I already knew who I was going to pick and that was you. No matter how many times we fight you would never cave and let me win you just kept on going until you won" I smiled remembering all the times we had indeed fought "that's what I needed, I needed someone to rule with me not be controlled by me everything led to you" he finished.
Whoa that has got to be the deepest thing he had ever said and truly meant. My heart beat got into 6th gear and my stomach got the familiar butterfly affect. Making my decision I thought about it and really it was the best thing for me, him and the followers.
"I will be you're queen" I whispered turning pink.
His eyes widened and he looked like he expected me to say no "really you mean it?"
Thinking about it again I was all too sure but yet something was telling at me to say no.
"Yes" I mumbled and he hugged me tight.
Finally I put my arms around him as well and we just sat there holding each other. So this was what its like (remember chapter 19) and I definitely liked the security he gave me.
He pulled away and kissed me gently, tenderly on the lips different to all those other times, he treated me with more care now.
"Let's go tell the others" he whispered in my ear making goose bumps rise up everywhere.
Shaking my head I smiled slightly "no you tell them I just need to think".
He nodded getting up and going inside. Letting a few tears escape my eyes I was so scared. Was this the right thing for me to do? Part of me only said yes because I was scared of what he would do to me but the main part told me to say yes because it was fate.
"Finally!" the voice sneered coming back except now instead of warm it was cold and harsh "about time you said yes" it snapped.
"What?" I said out loud.
A pair of glowing red eyes appeared in front of screaming everything evil. THUNK! That was the last thing I remembered before I was hit over the head unconscious.
When I finally regained consciousness my head was aching and my eyelids felt like they were a thousand tones and I couldn't open them. My arms were numb and I couldn't feel them.
"I know you're awake because I can hear you're brain thinking" ugh it was that damned voice that caused this humongous headache.
Trying to open my mouth I just couldn't instead I thought it "what's going on?"
This time the voice spoke in front of me not in my head "open you're eyes and find out".
A swoosh of air brushed my body and all energy came back but I was still slightly woozy. Slowly opening my eyes I took in my surroundings. I was in a very dark room and I couldn't make out much. That's when I noticed I was chained to the wall by my legs and my arms were chained above my head they were red raw. After taking all this in I finally noticed red eyes staring at me. The same ones from before, so evil and unwanted. There was no body to those eyes to be seen.
"What is this?" I asked jangling the shackles on my arm.
The eyes disappeared and it was pitch black I couldn't make out a single thing. Where was I, what was going on? Ignoring the dizzy feeling that I received when looking up I studied my arm shackles. The chains looked old and rusty but still very strong and I knew I wouldn't be able to escape them. A low creepy chuckle filled the room, bouncing off the walls and coming back to my ears.
"Hello? Stop being a girl and show yourself" I yelled into the darkness ignoring the scared goose bumps rising up all over my body and also not realizing I had just dissed myself.
"Do you really want me to show myself?" the voice boomed mildly amused.
Nodding frantically I searched the room waiting for a body to just suddenly appear in front of me. All of a sudden the bright red eyes appeared at my side so close it scared the crap out of me and I belted out a very high and terrified scream. Again the voice chuckled ringing off the walls.
"Show yourself" I begged and forcing myself to look into those red eyes.
"If it makes you happy" the voice boomed and finally a body appeared with the eyes.
He was deformed and disgusting half vampire half lycon and bat. The only human characteristic I could make out was his eyes and his face but even that was messed up having fangs that went 5 cm below his chin and huge bat ears, he had a wolf nose. Truthfully he didn't look at all old but it was hard to tell but he sounded young.
"What happened to you?" I whispered not knowing what I had just said.
He scowled frighteningly "everything" he yelled punching the space next to me.
The wall underneath his fist crumbled off like butter and that frightened me even more.
"What do you want with me?" I whispered hesitantly.
Smirking he lent into my face running his fingers all over my face over my lips and eyelids. I couldn't pull away; the back of my head was already pressed to the wall.
"We could be something" he murmured.
I looked at him confused "what?"
"I know of you're powers" he smirked.
A panicked look came over my face "what powers?" I lied and I thought I sounded pretty convincing.
He snorted "you know what powers, I have been living in you're head remember" he waited for a response.
Opening my mouth no words formed I reminded myself of a fish.
"With our powers together we could be something great" he was like a little kid that couldn't wait to try out his new remote control car.
"I have no powers" I restated this one truer because truthfully I don't think I do have them.
He leaned in close to my neck and pressed his fangs to my neck gently.
"What are you doing?" I cried trying to wiggle away from him but I was stuck in place.
He pressed harder and I felt his teeth just pierce through my delicate skin. He withdrew and watched the small amount of blood start to trickle down my neck smelling hungrily.
"What the hell?" I cried as he stepped closer yet again.
I felt sick when he started licking away the trail of blood all the way up to my neck his harsh tongue running over my skin. When he reached the little holes he had created he placed his lips over it and sucked gently. It was a weird and different experience not quite unpleasant but it was still uncomfortable considering I thought he would soon suck me till there was nothing left.
"Get off" I mumbled becoming drowsy from my blood draining slowly.
He pulled away for a second and looked into my half closed eyes and I watched some of my blood trickle from his lip and he licked it up with his tongue.
"Sleep" he half ordered.
He didn't need to tell me I was already asleep but right before I totally conked out I saw him lean back into my neck.
~Third Person's P.O.V~
"Dad Chelsea is gone we have to find her" Alex yelled at his dad who sat at his desk thinking.
Layton held up a hand to silence his aggravated son "hush" he ordered.
Alex stomped out of the room knowing if he stayed he wouldn't be able to control his actions. Terry was waiting in the hall for him biting her nails nervously.
"Well?" she asked her voice squeaky.
Alex shook his head brushing past her and going into Chelsea's room. He hadn't realized it until he was lying in her bed staring at her colorful ceiling.
"Where are you?!" he yelled pissed.
Bella barked next to him irritated that he had interrupted her slumber. She didn't know that Chelsea was gone she was just a dog actually Alex hadn't seen much of Bella lately.
"Do you know where she is?" he thought into Bella's head.
Her tale wagged lazily as she placed her head on his leg blinking up at him.
"I take that as a no" he mumbled patting her head.
He tried to talk to Chelsea through his head one thought to her brain hoping she would try to signal back. He was really angry at his father right now, he refused to start looking until tomorrow and nobody would be commanded by Alex so he had no power. His dad was the only thing stopping him from finding her and finally getting to hold her like he should've when he first realized he had a thing for her. She had seemed kind of distant though when she said yes like something was holding her back. He wished he had read her mind but she hated it when he did that so he stopped. But sometimes when she would look at him he had to know what she was thinking. Truthfully they were usually very bad like how much he annoyed her or pissed her off to the brink of wanting to kill him but then he finally caught a good one and that was so clear and stuck out to him. She wanted to know what it would be like for him to hold her and kiss her. He pretty much showed her that today. In this room he could practically feel her around. Her smell was everywhere especially in this bed. It was so sweet, so young and delicious. He had written Tantalize for her, it was about her
"Where are you Chelsea?" he asked out loud before closing his eyes and falling asleep.
He didn't hear in his head Chelsea's voice, distant but clear.
"So weak" her voice moaned.
