Capítulo 135: Ch 150: Saved by a Hero
The monster hissed when it somehow saw me even without any noticeable eyes.
Then an evil grin lifted on Rex's lips. "Interesting, no human eye can see the monsters that leak into their happy little world," he told me and I didn't understand what he meant.
"Get her!" Rex ordered and that thing hissed to his authority.
No time to waste, I turn around and start running towards my car. Suddenly, my heels slid and I fell flat on my knees and scraped them both open. My purse goes flying far from my reach. As my palms smacked the asphalt and I felt it was ice cold and slippery.
"This isn't possible!" I mumbled out loud as Rex and his buddies laughed at my remark to find I slipped on black ice during the summer. For the moment, my mind was frizzled and frozen to think correctly.
Then this hiss caught my attention as that monster hit the black ice and slipped on its tentacles before he slid on his belly my way.
"Aaah!" I screamed and crawled out of the way. It slid straight into my car and blocked my pathway to reach it. But I couldn't get to my purse that had the car key inside it. I had no other choice but to head in a different direction.
All the while Rex and his pals laughed like this was a show to them. Once I crawled far enough, I found solid pavement. I got up and ran as that monster got off the black ice and started chasing me down. I screamed and ran faster as I was nearing the streets.
Up ahead from out of nowhere this engine roared. Bright blaring lights blind my eyes as I hear squealing tires come flying up closer by the second. This motor rumbled loudly and the high beams were turned on.
This red mustang flies up to a halt as the high beams furthermore blind me. That thing painfully screeched and I turned around and saw it disappear out of thin air that second the light hit its flesh.
"Victoria, get in!" A voice shouts behind my back as Rex and his buddies were coming up towards me. "Victoria!"
I turned my attention toward the red mustang. Shockingly, I saw Orlando pop the passenger door open. Without thinking, I jumped in and shut the door. Orlando squealed tire as Rex and his gang stopped in mid-walk. Orlando drifted around and sped off down the street. From his high speed, we were on the road within minutes.
"Did you see that monster?" I shakingly asked Orlando as I kept looking in the side mirror.
Orlando shook his head while his eyes never veered off the road. "I didn't see any monsters. I only saw you were in trouble."
I didn't know what to think anymore. Especially, whenever Rex said no human can see the monsters that seek in our world. Was Rex human? I must be losing it if I am questioning this inside my head.
"Stop the car!" I holler as Orlando hit the gas harder.
"What? Orlando said as he kept his eyes on the road. "Are you crazy!"
"Then take me to a hotel," I argued.
"No," Orlando was just as adamant.
I tried to unlock the door but Orlando kept locking it back up as he drove quicker. "Stop it, you'll kill yourself!"
"Please Orlando, take me somewhere so Kai can't find me," I said as tears spilled from my eyelids. "I need to get as far away from him as I can."
"What did Kai do?" Orlando asked with this aggression in his voice. "I swear if he hurt you again I will beat his face in!"
I shook my head as tears fell down my face. "I found him cheating on me with another woman," I blurted. "You were right about him cheating on me."
Orlando took my hand inside his as his voice softened. "I'm sorry, Victoria. Just come home with me and then we'll figure this out tomorrow."
"Will you slow down so I don't puke in your car?" I asked. "I'll go home with you only for tonight."
Immediately, Orlando slowed down. "Alright, I promise baby. Everything will be ok."

The ride to his father's mansion seemed far too short. Here I was changed into an extra PJ shirt and shorts that Crystal lent me. I was cuddled on the couch with a soft blanket while I was sipping on a coffee Crystal made me. As I was updating her, Zach, Alejandro, and Orlando about everything.
"So Rex was the guy trying to kill you?" Orlando asked on the opposite couch between Zach and Alejandro. While Crystal and I were cuddled together.
"He killed Ben and Elena, and he's been after me for a while," I confirmed. "I think he's the one who killed my Team back in Egypt but I don't have confirming evidence to prove that theory."
"So this guy and his gain almost get you tonight while Kai's having sex with some loose woman in the alley!" Orlando stated angrily.
I shook my head confirming, "I'm filing for a divorce tomorrow."
"That's a good idea," Crystal rubbed my arm as she held me. "First thing tomorrow, we'll do that. Adultery should get the courts on your side."
"I have a ton of things to do," I shared. "I need to see if I can get into my bank account and get a new card. Then I'll need to buy some new clothes."
"Will worry about all that first thing in the morning," said Zach. "I think tonight you should rest."
"Come, you can sleep in my room," Orlando said, standing up while reaching out his hand for me. I was unsure to take it but I put my hurt feelings aside and did.
"As long as you aren't planning on sleeping there," I said stubbornly and I could tell he was hurt but I still can't forget that he slept with Ashley.
~~~
We all said goodnight and I followed Orlando. The smell of his luscious cologne filled my nostrils. Something I mindfully missed.
Briefly, Orlando unmade the bed and then said. "I'll be across the room if you need me."
"Thank you," I said as he walked toward me with those sad eyes.
His gaze was stuck on me for a moment. Lightly, he touched my fingertips as I was lost in his sight. He pulled my body closer and our faces got even closer. With his free hand, he brushed my hair behind my ear and then cupped my cheek. So gently, I felt my face magnetic to him but then he and Ashley filled my mind.
I pulled away and said. "I need to get some sleep."
"Ok," he faintly said, so heartbroken. Without saying another word he shut the door when he left.
