Chapter 5
I look into Alex's gold eyes. I look into them with desperation—the desperation for him not to cause a scene with Julian. He looks down at me like he needs to protect me, like I am child. And the truth is I am not a child the Wilds have changed me I have gone through many dangerous and scary situations without him. But in order for Alex to understand I guess I am going to have to say it instead of giving him clues through my eyes. If you want something you have to say it, I guess.
As gentile as I can I state clearly, "Look you don't have to feel the need to protect me. I can protect myself. And he was hurt and angry it isn't necessarily his fault."
"Lena, it is his fault! He didn't need to hurt you! No one should you treat you that way especially him!" Alex states as clear as glass. I am surprised though his tone isn't filled with anger; it's filled with something more gentile, like love. The love to protect each other at all costs and that is exactly what he is doing.
Then, Alex continues speaking in his low soft voice, "And Lena…" His hand brushes my arm, "I want to protect you." Before, I have time to retort his statement; he brings me in for the most soft, gentile kiss. I melt in his arms as if it was the first time we kissed.
As we pull away, I look into his eyes and state, "I know, but this time you need to just let it go… please" I can see in his eyes that he understands what I am trying to say. I just hope he agrees to let it go.
"Ok, but only this time, Lena," Alex looks down and kisses my forehead, "Hey, I say Hana around the camp somewhere you should go see her," All I can think of is he doesn't know about what happened between Hana and I. I think he can tell from my disgusted face that something happened because he then questions me, "Why are you looking like that? I thought you would be happy, she's your best friend and it turns out the cure didn't work on her. What's up?"
I take a deep swallow and state under my breath, "She's the one who called the cops on us that night," I can't even look into his eyes I am so sad I just stare at the ground and the tears come flowing out. I guess all this time I wasn't angry with her betrayal, I was upset that my best friend went behind my back.
Alex realizes my tears and just pulls me in for a hug. He leans down to my ear and says, "It's okay Lena, if she hadn't of done it we wouldn't be where we are right now. You wouldn't have known Raven and Tack. Or have found your mother." I look up at him and wipe my tears and state, "But there was a lot of bad Alex, you could have died. You were locked in the Crypts. I got stuck in an underground chamber with Julian. And…" He cuts me off with his soothing voice and rubbing my back says, "Of course, there's going to be bad with every choice and we were lucky they didn't find us before that night it could have been worse."
Then, I take my head out of his shoulder and realize he was right. It could have been so much worse and in the end Hana did get the note to Alex helping us to escape. Maybe I just need to talk to her. "Alex, I think I am going to go to talk to her," I say as he nods his head and lets me pass. As I look around the camp I see her, with her blonde as ever hair and her slim body. I walk over to her and tap on her shoulder.
Hana surprised takes a step back and goes, "Lena…."
All I say in return is, "Hi"
