"Oh Chris I feel the same way. Oh I love you and I can't stand seeing you do what you must to keep the suspicions down. I just don't understand Rich. Why was he here?"
Chris couldn't look away any longer he had to see her face her eyes and her lips. Oh he had to touch her comfort her and love her. Yes he would love her the only way a man could love a woman.
"Ann.I was thinking you shouldn't worry yourself with him tonight you need to enjoy yourself. We feel the same way and we shouldn't let some other guy come between us right now. Come here and quit being so afraid of me love."
Ann couldn't be hearing this he was asking for her to be next to him. Was this a ploy? No Chris loved her and there was no way of mistaking it for just a jest or a trap. Could it be though? She had to get away and now!
Ann stood up and made a move toward him then ran right by him and out the door. She made it down stairs and ran right into Jake.
"Woh there princess where you going can't handle our kind? Hey what's the hurry I'm just playing come here."
"Jake get offa me please just let me go."
"Princess now stop your crying why you so upset?"
Just then there was a silence across the dance floor Chris had appeared and was mad. Jake looked from Ann to Chris and had guessed she was running from him. He knew Chris's anger ran deep but would it run that deep to harm her. This wasn't right a woman should never be harmed even if she was an Innocence. No he had to help her.
"Princess follow me. Come on."
He lead her though the club and to the back without being seen. Maybe he would make it after all if he could just convince the guard to back off. What kind of message did she send Chris? She had never lead himself on so what did she have on Chris. Maybe he just fell for those ice blue orbs of hers. They were captivating and deep maybe he thought her a puzzle of some sort. He knew though that Chris felt nothing for her just saw a new woman to make his.
"Why are you doing this, Jake is it?"
"Cause I know he just sees you as some toy and not as a person I have seen him do this to more then one girl."
"He said he loved me. I thought he meant it."
"He has thought he loved every girl that has ever been with him. So in a way he does think he loves you but when you ran out you got him mad he always gets that way when he doesn't have his way so you see..."
"He's insane for a girl. Right?"
"Ah sort of I'm not sure it is just that exact way but I don't want to see you get hurt."
"Well I'm touched that you feel that way Jake but you yourself have put across only an interest for my body not my mind."
"Have I ever said that I feel for your mind I just don't want to see you get hurt I do have a conscience you know."
"Thanks hey you can let me go here."
"Here? What do you mean there is nothing here."
"You can't tell a soul cause if you used this for something against my family I would kill you. Now move."
Ann pushed the vines aside and revealed a small child door hidden in the wall. It was so mistakable for vines you would never notice there was a door behind everything. Oh and it was painted like brick a double disguise. How brilliant.
"Ann does Chris know this passageway?"
"Yes why do you ask?"
"Oh I don't know he'll use it again maybe. So um I think I will just stay the night here to make sure he doesn't come to get you."
"Umm no you can't the guards will see you!"
"Ok so what do you suppose I do then to make sure he doesn't come after you?"
"Well you could...Come up to the house and hide in my room he does know where it is and will use it and he if he gets past you I will surely hear you two fighting so I will be ready with my gun to get him to leave."
"Ok then lead the way Princess."
