Chapter twenty one
Even though I had pulled the covers over my head I could still hear Noah and Logan arguing. I hate this. I had asked them to get over themselves and just get along but that would be asking way too much of both of them. I couldn't get to sleep with them yelling I don't know why they couldn't just silently argue like they had been when we were at Noah's house. I pushed the pillow over my head I just wanted this day to end. Sleep was what I needed and what I wanted. I had been kidnapped twice once by a good vampire and then by an evil vampire. I had been bitten three times once my Logan, Noah and then Marcus all three times without my permission! I had been attacked physically when Logan was attacked by Darius. Noah was Darius's son, Darius wanted me and Kara dead. Too much had happened I just wanted to sleep all my problems away. All of a sudden Logan and Noah went silent I guessed they tired themselves out I rolled over in the bed to Logan's side I don't know why but I found it more comfortable than the side I was on. I rolled up into a ball and was about to fall asleep but I could feel this uneasiness coming from the room I was about to pull my head out from under the covers when two hands grabbed me out of the bed my heart speed up but when I looked up to see my father's face full of worry it slowed down.
"I'm okay Dad stop worrying" I said to him, it only seemed to make him angry. All of a sudden he bolted for the doors running past both Logan and Noah. My father was running so fast I never knew he could do this. I felt the cool air whip around me I breathed in heavily and tried to talk.
"What are you doing?" I asked my Father as he ran down the stairs edging closer to the front door.
"I'm taking you away from here" he said angrily. He flung the door open only to be greeted with Logan, Noah and a hand full of guards. You've got to be joking me I lolled my head to the side just when I thought I was going to get some peace and quiet.
"You are not taking her anywhere unless you want to die" Logan boomed. Did he have to threaten my Father?
"You wouldn't" My Father screeched.
"You don't know what I am capable of doing" Logan seethed as he walked closer to my Father. My stomach sank this wasn't good. My father steeped forward daring him to hit him. Definitely not good. I eyes Logan trying to get him to calm down but Logan was too busy looking at my father with anger to notice my glare.
"Let the man take his daughter it's about time he comes to his senses" Darius said from behind sounding amused.
My father spun around and threw Darius a smile of gratitude, I felt disgusted if only my Father knew the real monster that lurked under Darius's dark soul.
"This has nothing to do with you Darius! Mind your own business! Or else" Logan threatened letting out a growl.
"Or else what" Darius said just as threateningly. There conversation was cut short when my mother appeared at my side out of thin air rubbing my arms gently trying to sooth me.
"I told you I should have taken her" she yelled at my Father.
"And I told you to meet me at home" He shouted at her.
"I knew this wouldn't work!" She yelled back. This was just giving me a headache.
"I don't want to leave" I yelled to both of them shocking them.
"You don't know what you want your Ill we know what is best for you honey. We thought you would be safe here but you're not. Look at you! You hurt and it's our entire fault! We should never have bought you here" My Mother said gently while tearing up. I breathed out heavily nothing I said would get through to them. I pleaded with my eyes and they both just shook their heads at me.
"I will fight you to get my daughter out of here" My father boomed clutching me harder against him.
"I do not want to do that so" Logan said without completing his sentence he grabbed me out of my father's hands with ease "I'll just take her" he finished.
"She isn't safe here! If she dies I will kill you!" He roared. My Fathers eyes looked blood shoot, he looked exhausted I felt bad that I was making him feel this way.
"I won't let that happen. But if you take her now she will die. You can barely fight in your condition you've been out there looking for her wasting all your energy. I ripped her out of your arms so easily. Your weak I am not discussing this. You are welcome to visit Kayla in my room other than that she does not leave those four walls. I've had enough. Darius you may leave I have nothing to say to you" Logan said coldly and teleported back to our room.
"No more teleporting I don't like it anymore! And stop threatening my Father I don't like that either!" I yelled I felt more sick now. I hated seeing my parents like that, they were distraught to the point they were willing to take me from here without permission. I couldn't even try and tell them everything would be okay because in reality I wasn't safe anywhere.
"He was trying to take you away from me what else am I meant to do!" Logan yelled back exuberated. I just shook my head unbelievable.
"Punch him" Noah said sarcastically,
"USE. THE. DOOR!" I yelled at Noah while clutching my head. I can't handle this I started to breath in and out faster I did not want to pass out for the hundredth time today.
"Fineeeeeeeeeeeee" he said putting his hands up like he had just been caught.
"Could you at least turn off your pain it just makes me feel guilty" Noah said softly.
"I wish I could but I can't" I whispered breathing out heavily it was like I had run a marathon.
Logan put me to my feet when yet again the door flung open and there stood Dedrick, Clear, Darius and my parents. All looked angry all looked at Logan and then at Noah. I watched Darius who looked shocked when his eyes lingered over Noah. He knew who Noah was. Which meant we had to do something fast before he decides to kill everyone I loved.
"Are you okay Kayla?" Dedrick asked me gently though his body radiated with anger.
"Yes" I said quickly to scared to linger with an answer.
"Who is this?" Dedrick asked Logan.
"I'm Noah Kara and Kayla's new bodyguard. Logan has hired me to watch over them" Noah said proudly beating Logan to answer.
"Blake has already run through how Noah found the girls. Marcus had taken them teleporting to Oakland where it all started. Thank god Noah was there or else these girls wouldn't be around today. Thank you Noah" Dedrick said to Noah. I had to stop myself from laughing that's the best story Blake could come up with. That just boosted Noah's ego!
"Now I heard that Richard and Emily tried to take Kayla away. I think you should let them it isn't fair just because I want you to be king that these girls' lives are in danger. They are my best friends I do not want their deaths on my conscious. Darius has made that point very clear to me. I will repeat myself let her go home. If that's what Kayla and her parents want" Dedrick said seriously.
"I want her here!" Logan yelled god he sounded childish maybe I was rubbing off on him I messaged my temples trying to get rid of my headache that everyone's loud voices were giving me.
"What if I wanted to stay?" I asked Dedrick.
"Then I won't let your parents take you. I give you freedom to chose where you want to be. Here or Oakland" Dedrick gave me a choice.
"She's ill she doesn't know what she wants. She can't think straight" my Mother pleaded to let them decide not me.
"She knows what she wants" Dedrick said forcefully.
"Are you sure? Looks like Marcus bit into her which means he would have some influence on her decision" Darius said while coming to my side he was about to touch the bandage but I stepped backwards just as his hand was about to cup my neck, Darius tried again but Logan grabbed me into his arms stopping Darius dead in his tracks.
"She can't even stand on her own two feet. She can't make this decision on her own especially when she has been bitten let the parents decide" Darius said mockingly.
"He's dead there is no control" Noah said darkly.
"You killed him?" I could see the rage In Darius's eyes grow with each passing second until Noah answered.
"Of course" Noah said trying to hold back laughter. He could only be serious when he wanted to be.
"You're just as disgusting as Logan and Blake. Attacking your own kind just for a weak, helpless" I interrupted Darius I didn't want to know what he thought of me "I chose to stay here" I said. That pleased Dedrick and Clair but not my parents or Darius.
"Kayla!" My father yelled at me trying to get me to change my mind. Even if I did leave it was obvious Darius would send someone else to kill me. My safest option was to stay here. I didn't bother to answer my father I wanted to tell him everything but then that would be endangering his and Mothers life I couldn't do that. I wouldn't do that.
"You may all leave" Logan said coldly.
"She doesn't know what she wants!" My father yelled once more.
"Agreed she has been harmed she could be confused" Darius said fighting my father's case.
"I let her choose. But I will ask again tomorrow. If Kayla decides to stay then she may stay. I will go and give Kara the same choice" Dedrick said. Darius smiled at Dedricks decision if only he knew, I wasn't planning on changing my mind.
My Father grabbed me out of Logan's arms once more and gave me a tight hug.
"Change your mind you are not safe here" he said forcefully and then passed me to my Mother. I could see the tears forming in her eyes and she let them spill over I willed myself to turn away the look she gave me was making me think twice about my decision. My Mother passed me back to Logan hesitantly and walked out along with everyone else except for Noah.
"So much drama!" he said annoyed.
"You can leave to" I said aggressively to him, I was upset about how my parents were feeling you would think he would be sensitive or at least try and be sensitive.
"Nope" was his reply. Irritating jerk!
I got out of Logan's arms and walked myself to the bed. I wanted this day to end I wanted every problem to dissolve. Logan and Noah continued to just stare at me? I didn't know what they wanted I gave them both a confused look both of their heads turned to one another. They looked at each other angrily and that just made me feel tired. I tried to make them get along but they just won't.
Blake and Kara walked into the room a few minutes later. Kara walked over to me I looked up at her and I could see the bruise on her cheek growing darker. I gave her a grim smile it was my fault she was hurt!
"I'm okay don't beat yourself up over it" Kara said gently while sitting next to me on the bed.
"It was my fault. If I hadn't been so selfish wanting to leave Noah's room you wouldn't have been hurt" I said to her.
"You are so stubborn it doesn't even hurt it just looks bad" She said smiling but winced when she felt her cheeks stretching.
"See" I said irritated at her "and you tell me to stop hurting myself".
I could feel my tears coming to the surface. I was hurting a lot of people today. I just hope I didn't hurt Logan, I had finally come to my senses I didn't want to push him away. Right now I wanted him to hold me to his warm chest and make this day just end. I could sleep all day in his arms I was being selfish I didn't care right now if someone was after me. I wanted Logan close to me who knows what tomorrow will bring. Kara and I just laid on the bed watching all three boys trying to make sense of what to do. It was simple just tell Dedrick but Logan and Blake both didn't like that plan. I let out an exhausted breathe out I was tired but I wanted to know before I feel asleep that something was going to be done about Darius I also wanted to fall asleep in Logan's arms. For once I was looking forward to waking up in his arms to see that perfect smirk light up the day. I waited for the chance to talk while all three boys continued to go round and round in circles in their conversation. Kara was exhausted I could see her fighting to keep her eyes open but in the end her eye lids shut over. She fell asleep. I covered her with the duvet cover and got out of the bed walking slowly towards Logan.
"Kayla go to sleep" he said forcefully before I had even reached his side. Agg. Not this again couldn't he just not act so protective when he knows I don't want to run away anymore? Nothing's changed.
"How can I go to sleep when Darius is out there? This is just stupid all three of you have come up with nothing. Just go and tell Dedrick. If you can't or won't decide let 'The King' decide" I said a tad bit angrily while reaching Logan's side.
"We can't okay. What if my father picks Darius's side?" Blake said sounding hurt.
"Why would he? You're his sons" I said back.
"But Darius is his brother" Logan said back.
"How about I go and talk to Darius?" Noah said changing the topic.
"No he might kill you" I said quickly.
"Okay screw this I will tell Dedrick. I will tell him because everyone in this room is gutless. If Dedrick does not believe us well then I guess you will have to kill Darius" I said boldly but even saying the statement I felt sick. I couldn't take a life.
"We have time. If you could hurry up and just get better already I could change you into a vampire we could get married. Darius wouldn't be able to touch us after that" Logan said haste fully.
"He will still try to kill you. I think he won't stop until he has his turn at being King" Noah said seriously.
"I agree. He's killed way too many girls. He could have just killed you and Blake but he hasn't. But if you do become king he might just change his mind. Right now only me and Kara are in danger. I will not marry you if it means you will be killed" I said just as seriously.
"I can protect myself" Logan said adamantly.
"I think you need to tell Dedrick" I said forcefully.
"I think you should go to sleep" he said back just as forcefully meeting me at my eye level, it was like he was talking to a kid. That just made me more angry.
"I think you need to come up with a plan!" I seethed I hated it when we talked like this he always won.
"I think you should go to sleep" Logan repeated while picking me up quickly I made a pouting noise and tried to get him to let me help but Logan was determined to put me in the bed next to Kara. I gave him an irritated look while he gave me his famous smirk. The same smirk he gave me when I first meet him. I looked into his eyes which held warmth only for me I wanted those eyes to be alive for me but with Darius around it wasn't possible.
"Go to sleep" Logan said trying to get me to close my eyes, he moved the hair off my head and kissed me on my lips, I felt my heart beat go up so fast. I felt embarrassed because I knew Noah could feel what I felt. I kissed Logan back wanting him to know I wanted him. Always. Forever.
I continued to look at Logan's face while he hovered over me waiting for my eyes to close over. I didn't feel sleepy when all of a sudden I could feel my consciousness slipping, I felt confused and then I remembered Noah had made me feel like this before.
"Stop it Noah!" I yelled in Logan's face which turned to anger instantly.
"Well I need you to fall asleep so that your lover can get his ass over here so we can continue to discuss our situation. So stop being so stubborn and go to sleep" Noah said amused.
I clutched at Logan's hand trying to get him to calm down. I knew it wasn't easy having Noah around since he just couldn't be nice or serious for a long period of time. Seems every ten minutes he had something mocking to say. I gave into Noah's power I closed my eyes and felt Logan squeeze my hand and say "Everything will be okay", I feel asleep hoping everything would be okay.
Logan's POV
"Everything will be okay" I whispered to Kayla and with that she fell asleep. I hated Noah! I hated how he could make Kayla feel so weak. He had hurt her I wanted him nowhere near her no matter what he meant to Kayla. He had hurt her. I walked away from a sleeping Kayla and towards Blake and Noah.
"Okay I want to sort this out now!" I said determined like.
"Fine. Let me just go to Darius?" Blake said sounding confused.
I shook my head "what will that accomplish?" I asked him.
"I think you both should act as if you know nothing. I'm going to confront Darius" Noah said boldly.
"You're going to kill him. If you do that my Father will kill you. That is the worst move you could make" I said to him. If he ended up dead that would break Kayla into pieces she would blame herself and I wouldn't let her do that again.
"All three of us will confront him. Let the girls recover we will confront him soon. If he accepts what he has done in his past he will be punished. If me and Blake kill him it won't matter" I said seriously to Noah.
"But I will help. Without my help you wouldn't even know that it was Darius who was playing with your future" Noah said back just as seriously.
"For Kaylas sake Logan just compromise. We haven't been able to come up with anything for hours. We finally have a plan just accept it please" Blake said trying to get me to compromise.
I took a deep breath and said "For Kayla's sack I am willing to compromise" I said angrily.
"Good" Noah said seriously.
"Now you can both leave. We will wait for the right opportunity to strike. Right now this isn't the right time" I said.
Noah left with a nod teleporting to the room Blake had given him. Blake picked up Kara from the bed gently Blake looked upset about Kara I knew how he felt. When Kayla was hurt I felt disgusted at myself for not getting to her in time.
"She will be okay Blake" I said to him just before he left my room.
"I know but still she's hurt" Blake said pained.
"We will punish Darius for what he's done" I said to him forcefully tugging at his shoulder brotherly like.
"He deserves every bit of pain I inflict on him. I can't wait to see him suffer. We suffered for years because of his greed. He will pay for what he has done to Kayla and Kara" Blake said angrily.
"But for now we wait" I said to him.
Blake nodded and walked out of the room.
I was finally alone in my room with Kayla I felt relief flood through me it had only been a day since Kayla had disappeared from my sight and now she's back. What was better was she finally gave into her feelings, she loves me! She accepted me. Joy and happiness ran in my blood I couldn't wait for to hold Kayla in my arms. I could live with her forever and forever is something we had. All I had to do was keep Darius away from Kayla. Darius was the root of all our problems he wanted Kayla dead. If I became king he would want me dead to. There was only one option I would have to talk to Darius if he accepts everything we would have to kill him, but first we would have to give my Father evidence. After all Darius had killed Vampire girls not humans he broke the law he will be punished. I look forwards to the day where he rots in hell. The hell he had bought into my life was a hundred times worse not having someone to love you and someone not to love is a depressing feeling. Living without love for all eternity was killing me inside but now I have Kayla someone to love and someone to love me, I will never let her go and hopefully she will never want to let me go. I can only hope Kayla's parents hadn't changed her mind about staying I wouldn't know what I would do if she changed her mind. I slowly made my way to the bed and snuggled in slowly instantly Kayla began to roll over to my side. A smile played across my lips. Once I was fully in bed she snuggled into my chest clutching at my shirt. I realised she did that a lot whenever she was stressed. I frowned even when she was sleeping she couldn't escape to a world without problems. I rubbed my arm gently down her back trying to make her feel better, her hands unclenched slightly. I held Kayla tighter to my chest I missed her. Even though I had been with her for months I wasn't close enough to her but now that she was opening up I couldn't wait to see more sides of Kayla and hopefully they were bubbly sides I had seen and felt too many of her unpleasant emotions she had made herself feel bad so others could feel happy. She was selfless. That thought reminded me I would have to bite Kayla soon she's not going to give in so easily I laughed internally. I gave Kayla a peak on the cheek and closed my eyes, I had to sleep which I rarely did but I had used to much energy fighting Darius it was time to recharge and try and fight another day.
