Sadly I do not own CHLOE KING, this story is purely my own twist on an already amazing series.
"On the count of three…" Alek began in a whisper "Get in the car" he finished through gritted teeth.
"What!" I exclaimed staring at the back of his neck.
"Three!" Alek let go of me and ran to the driver's side. I climbed in as fast as I could, but before I managed to put my seat belt on Alek was already speeding out of the car park smashing into as many members of the order as possible. Hey, we couldn't help it if they tried to 'jump' onto our moving vehicle.
"How did they know where we were?" I asked trying to recover from the shock.
"I should have known" Alek mumbled to himself, as he weaved in and out of traffic.
"Should have known?..Alek slow down!" I had to avert my gaze from the front window; we were so going to crash. And here I was with a really cute boy, experiencing an amazing and date then…dead. The Uniter is going to die via car crash. Greeeeaaaat. He pulled out his phone and pressed button two.
"Oh right, lets just make this whole experience even more safe" he shot be a narrowed glance "don't give me that look, I'm not the one that is ten times over the speed limit talking on their phone." He ignored me.
"Valentina!" his voice was relatively calm despite him breathing heavily. "They ambushed us" He was nodding to whatever Valentina was saying on the other end. She must have been giving him a few instructions because he eventually said ok and hung up the phone. I was trying to check the side mirrors to see if any of the cars seemed to be following us but I think we were safe.
"You have to go into hiding." He finally mentioned wearingly.
"I'm sorry but that necessarily isn't a great possibility for me right now." He was giving me his doom face.
"Its not up for discussion!"
"Well I think it should be!" I slightly shouted at him "What about my mom and Amy and Paul? I have to tell them what is happening….my mom is going to be so pissed"
He sighed. "Call your mom now, say your staying the weekend at Amy's. Then call Amy and tell her that you are fine and not to worry because you have me" He tried to smile, but he couldn't fool me. "And that you will see her as soon as possible." It seemed logical enough.
…..
"Yes Mom, I love you too" I hung up my phone and leant into the car seat.
"Doesn't this all seem a bit over dramatic, I mean we have faced the order before." I had my elbow resting against the window staring out as the green grass turned to snow.
"To you maybe, but I'm your protector so" he took my hand in his and rested them on his thigh "just let me protect you"
"I don't need anyone's protection Alek" I pulled my hand back.
"Well I need to know that you are safe" He parked the car behind an old cottage surrounded by absolutely nothing.
"Welcome to safe house 9361" he said as he opened my door. I refused his hand, which was reaching in to help me out of the car.
"Oh how fantastic, a getaway just the two of us." I clasped my hands together in complete sarcasm. "So how many people are in there waiting for us."
"None" he mentioned as he took a key from under the doormat.
"I see that there is only top security then for the Uniter" I paused to look down at the doormat. "Doormat key…very safe."
"I know that you are angry, and that I haven't explained anything to you but I will." He pushed me inside the little cottage. "Stay here!" He raised his voice "I'm going to get some firewood because there is not central heating."
"Oh hurry back protector, I wouldn't want to die of frostbite. How will I ever survive without your manliness!" I scowled at him as he shut the door. Son of a bitch!
