Every Shot Cuts The Deepest Skin
Chapter Twelve
Seeing the blue thin mark confirmed my deepest fears.
It was true, I am with child. Kable's baby is growing inside me.
Tears began to fall down my face, I thought it would be a lie but I was wrong.
So I was alone, in love with a man that broke my heart and having his child.
The Humanz were pretty damn shocked about it but reassured me that they would be there for me.
As I lay on the bed, relooking at the test stick, I wondered through my deepest memories.
Childhood appeared, flashing before my very eyes. Happiness, laughter and other such emotions.
I longed to see my dead family again, missing them was a pain to never end until the day I died.
A deep male voice caught my attention outside, it sounded a awful lot like Kable.
Rising up, I went to open the door to find him standing there with his arms folded and his eyes burning back at me.
He lowered that gaze to the stick I was holding tightly, those beautiful orbs widened in pure horror.
"Please tell me you are not pregeant" He asked, pointing at it.
I rose my hand to place the stick in his palm, seeing his face whiten like a ghost once more was sheer pleasure.
"That's what you get if you don't use protection." I said, smugly.
He lifted his eyes back at me, angry and firey they were, but I wasn't afraid.
"Get rid of it." He ordered, gruffly.
I scoffed at his disgusting suggestion.
"I don't think so, Kable. This is MY child, you lost all interest and care for it since last night." I replied, placing a hand on my stomach.
"I'm warning you, Crystal. If you don't kill that, I will do it by force." He threatened with a cold and uneven voice.
"What the hell is the matter with you? How can you be so bitter and cruel?" I snapped, snatching the stick off him.
"Because I don't want anything left of me on this planet if I die today. If Castle knows, he will kill both of you in a instant." He replied, standing dangerously close to me.
"Good, that means I can see my family again." I said, without a care.
Suddenly, he clasped his strong hands against my arms in a tight grip.
"Let go of me or I will scream." I warned, shooting a nasty stare at him.
"Scream all you want, no-one is going to save you." He said, silently.
I felt fear ripple down my body yet strangely turned on by him.
We just stared at each other, panting and very close to touching.
He lowered his head, those lush lips edging near to my own.
"Go on, kiss me." I whispered.
But he backed away, letting go of the hold on me.
"No, I will not." He replied, turning his heel and walked away to the exit.
Biting down my lip, I should've stayed behind like a good girl.
But I ran to him only to discover he had mysteriously disappeared.
Searching the barren surroundings, the only clue was a note by the road.
Dashing to grab it before a gust of wind took it, I unfolded it and read...
Crystal,
I have taken Kable and Abigail, don't even think you can save them.
But if you are foolish enough, meet me in the same club where you beat Rick Rape up.
You have five hours.
Ken Castle.
Without a second's pause, I went back inside to warn the Humanz.
"Guys listen! Castle's kidnapped Kable and Abigail!" I cried.
They stared at each other, then back to me.
"He's a dangerous man, Crystal." One of them said.
"I know that but I have to save them both, even if I do die." I replied, feeling tears starting to fall down my face.
A comforting hand was on my shoulder, I looked at the leader who gave me a grim smile.
"We will help you do this."
I placed my own with his, nodding my head in argement.
"Okay, I better go now."
Dashing back to my room where my jacket is, I put it on and went to the door only for the girl who punched me stood in front of it.
"Kable does love you, you know. He told me last night." She said.
I took a heavy breath.
"Doesn't seem like it, he wants me to get rid of our child." I replied, turning my head away.
"He's just scared of what could happen. Castle has many tricks up his evil sleeve, he can know anything without you knowing."
She came slowly towards me with her motorbike helmet in her hand.
"Take this, it will shorten your journey." She said, putting in my own.
"Thank you, for everything." I replied, hugging her tight.
Though she was stiff at first, it didn't take her long to embrace it for a brief few moments.
We pulled away, then I went back outside to find the motorbike which was sitting a few meters away from the building.
As I turned on the engine, the Humanz stood to watch me go.
A short wave I gave them, then I put on the helmet and off I went to save the two people that mattered to me than anything else.
