Freya's POV
It had been three days; three days and Lucien hadn't come back. I was stuck here alone and I was going crazy. Vincent still hadn't found a way to get me out and neither had I, not that I could do much to help myself.
I sat on the couch flicking through the TV channels mindlessly when I got a text. Looking at my phone I noticed it was from Hayley. I smiled. She had been updating me on everything, apparently Kol was being controlled by the ancestors and while Davina tried to help him she came no closer to figuring out how. Elijah was fine now and according to Hayley they where all working on a plan to free me and take Lucien down once and for all.
I shut the TV off and wondered over to the kitchen, looking for some food. I opened every cupboard and drawer but found nothing. Everything looked gross. Great I'm going to stave to death I thought to myself as I rolled my eyes. Getting a glass out I filled it with some water before taking a drink.
I stood at the breakfast island, looking around blankly. I was beyond board. I couldn't even step outside. I was stuck between these four walls and now I was alone. I was growing beyond frustrated.
I heard a noise come from outside making me look towards the window, that was when I saw him.
Lucien's POV
I had been at the penthouse for the past couple of days. I hadn't made any sort of move against Nik or his family and surprisingly they hadn't against me.
I hadn't seen Freya for three days and I missed her but I knew she hated me. I found myself thinking about her most days and night, that was when I realised I desperately needed to get her out of my mind so I went out and found an all to willing girl. I compelled her, fucked her and drank from her but still the little witch clouded my mind; she consumed my every thought and I found myself hating her for it.
All this led to where I am now, standing outside of the window, looking in at her as she wrapped her lips around the brim of the glass. What I wouldn't give to just touch her, hold her, feel her again but I needed to stay away...
I was being selfish really, leaving her trapped in this house when I knew I couldn't be around her. Maybe I should free her? My thoughts were interrupted, our eyes met and I detected a small smile but she hid it well.
Freya's POV
I turned around and walked towards the door. I had barely took one step when he appeared in front of me. I stumbled back slightly. He placed his arm around my lower back, steadying me.
We looked at one and other, no words were spoken as we searched each other's eye's. His hazel ones meeting my green ones. As if a thousand words were going unspoken between us.
"Frey..." he reached out but before he could do or say anything I shoved him back. Pulling my arm back I slapped him with all my human force "You were gone for three days" I shouted at him as I shoved him.
"I'm sorry" he said as he tried to walk closer to me but I turned away and whispered "I didn't know where you were or if you were even coming back"
Lucien's POV
"It'd be easier if I didn't" I replied. She turned around and looked at me. She looked like she was about to cry. She didn't look like the strong Freya I knew, the one from mere days ago who promised to kill me.
"Did you know?" I heard her ask. Her green orbs shining back at me. I didn't answer, I just watched her. She was my weakness.
"DID YOU?" she screamed.
"No love, I didn't know your blood was the cure" I told her calmly. I could literally feel her anger radiating off her.
"LIAR" she yelled back. I closed the distance between us and took her hands in mine "I promise love, I didn't know"
"I don't believe you" she said. I dropped her hands and as soon as I did she slapped me. I growled "If you do that again..."
"You'll what... Bite me?" she looked away in amusement "You don't scare me Lucien" I watched her for a few moments. I felt my anger rising towards her. She always knew how to get me angry in the way I wanted to kiss her and kill her equally.
