Sadly I do not own CHLOE KING, this story is purely my own twist on an already amazing series.
I was unable to move. Frozen in the arms of Alek, as the doorknob began to slowly turn. Alek grabbed me by the arm and swiftly moved us into the bathroom, shutting the door behind us.
"Chloe?" I heard my Moms voice call from inside my room. Alek had his arms around me, when he turned the shower on.
"I…I'm about to take a shower" I finally managed.
"Alright." She paused as she moved to the other side of the bathroom door. "I am leaving for work, so please don't be late for school"
"Of course." I looked at Alek who was fighting back a laugh. "Love you"
"Implied." As soon as I heard my bedroom door shut I let out a huge sigh of relief. Alek let be get ready for school by myself. As soon as he was gone I gave my body a once over, looking for any signs of bondage. There was nothing. Maybe I wasn't in love with him, or maybe he wasn't in love with me. Wasn't that the sealer? Two Mai's in love that make love. I hurriedly washed my hair and got dressed. Slowly making my way down the steps, I saw Alek in the kitchen gazing out the window. My heart couldn't help but do a little flip inside my chest. Before I reached the last step I fell.
….
I knew that it was Alek who caught me, but as I gazed into his face it was all bruised and bloody. I was on the outside of the fire ring. The hooded finger stood behind him with one clawed hand on his shoulder.
"Chloe!.. Chloe!" Alek began to shake me, but as I called out for him to stop it was as though he couldn't hear me. As the shaking subsided and he pulled me into his chest I glanced over his shoulder. In the right corner I could see Jasmine running towards us with Paul close on her tail. Paul was carrying Amy in his arms, she wasn't moving.
"Why is this happening?" I called out.
"There are some things in your life which are certain…and others that are not." The hooded figure replied.
"You have shown me this image three times already, in variations. Is this how I will finally die?" I could feel the tears streaming down my face, as I looked into Alek's sorrowful eyes.
"There are some things in your life which are certain…and others that are not."
"How am I to change this!" I screamed at the figure.
"There are some things in your life which are certain…and others that are not."
"This is complete Bull…"
….
"Chloe! For Bastets sake! Chloe!" Alek was sitting on the floor with me in his arms. He ran a hand across my face.
"I'm alright…I'm alright" Alek swiftly brought his lips to mine, bringing me closer to him.
"You have got to stop doing that!" He exclaimed when we broke apart. Alek was resting his forehead on mine.
"Believe me, I wish I could." Is sat up taking his hands in mine. "I think Bastet is showing me how I am going to lose my last life, but I have no idea why."
"And you are sure it's Bastet?" I shook my head.
"No I'm not."
"We'll have to talk to Valentina." Alek pulled me up from the ground.
"But first we have school" I reminded him. Alek let out a sigh.
"Ahh the only true necessary evil" He exclaimed with a smug smile. "I'm not sure if going to school is such a good idea at the moment hun?" Did he just call me hun? "What happens if you collapse there?"
"I know…but my mom will get a phone call if I don't show up. So we had better get going." I pushed him out the front door, locking it behind me. Jasmine was waiting outside for us.
"Good morning Jas! You know you don't have to wait outside." He arms were crossed, as usual, but she looked more worried than pissed off.
"I just got here." She tried to smile, but whatever she was about to tell me wasn't a smiling matter."
"You're mom's missing." My breath caught in my throat. I guess no school today then after all.
