章 76: 2.45

[Warning: Smut/Sexual Asault]

"What the fuck did you do to her?" Will asked, wrapping another blanket around me. Noah was backed up, hands raised innocently.

"I-it's- n-not," I stuttered between sobs, "his f-fault."

"What's wrong Han, tell me?" Will wedged my face between his palms, forcing me to look at him in the bright light.

The tears tickled my nose as I slowly caught my breath and calmed down.

"Hormones, just hormones," I lied, though they were certainly a contributing factor.

His gaze lowered to my semi-exposed chest, "then what about that," he said the last word with extra distaste.

My face reddened as I brought my knees tighter to my chest, in an effort to try and hide my skin.

"I'm fine, it's not like you never left a mark on Ivy," I tried to pull my head out of his grip.

"Yes, Will, she's fine, in perfect health," Noah sarcastically chided behind, his glare even more obvious in the bright light.

"Get out," I huffed, finally succeeding in breaking out of Will's grip whilst he was distracted by Noah's uncharacteristic tantrum.

"Yeah Noah, Get out," Will mockingly copied, taking the opportunity to kick out the unwanted intruder.

"You too," I sunk into the bed, getting comfortable, "the next person to wake me up without good cause is getting my dagger in their gut," I peeked the blade out from under the pillow to make my threat more serious.

I needed sleep more than life itself right now. Growing a baby was no joke.

Unsure if either man obeyed my orders I quickly drifted off, my grip firmly on the hilt of the dagger under my pillows.

A rumbling stomach and a bursting bladder forced me to finally wake to the afternoon sun fully refreshed.

Instead of feeling groggy and full of aches this time, I felt like someone had injected caffeine into me whilst I slept.

"Well someone certainly injected something…" System interrupted my drifting thoughts.

"What?"

"Noah, whilst you slept he gave you an energy boost, his System was also trying to interact but I blocked it."

"Why didn't you wake me?" I grumbled, tugging on a tracksuit and trainers, aiming to go clear my muddled head with a jog. Even with System and powers, I had to maintain this body's foundation, plus I did not want to get too chubby...

"I was afraid if I did that dagger would accidentally end up in your own head," it teased, "you needed sleep, and Noah's energy boost has really helped."

"Yeah, yeah," I rolled my eyes, not wanting to know how he had given me his energy. Ignoring the questioning looks of Matt and Luke who lingered at the stairwell, I went outside, happily welcoming the cool breeze hitting my skin.

Jogging around my new temporary neighbourhood, I noticed how depressingly quiet the area was. Before the meteorites no doubt this place had been busy, the park across the road filled with kids, now eerily empty, only the wind moving the swing seats.

I found myself drawn to sit down, whilst no one was looking, to feel what it was like to be on a swing.

"Not as fun as the children make it out to be," I complained out loud to System, my feet digging into the sand to still the seat.

Hands gripped the chains just above mine, a head rested on mine.

"Did you have fun last night?" Alex asked, his hands lowering to smother mine.

"You missed out on a drunk Holly, I'm unsure we'll survive long enough to be graced with it again."

"Hmm…" his hands moved down my arms to my hips, lifting just slightly up my top to brush his fingertips across my navel.

I shivered, wriggling to stand out of his touch.

"Where did you go?" I asked, hands pulling the hem of my top as far as it could go, "did you even return?"

"Is that a jealous Hannah I hear?" Alex smirked smugly, hands back into his jeans pockets innocently.

"N-no," I turned away, walking ahead in a huff.

He jogged to match my stride, hands at his side, that smug smirk still playing across his lips.

"Shouldn't I be the one jealous?" He asked playfully, though his gaze was fierce.

I gulped, almost taking a misstep into the sandpit as I exited the playground area of the park. Picking up my speed, I weaved through the trees, opting to walk amongst what made me feel safe rather than the exposed paving stone.

"Hannah," his sudden voice behind me made me trip over my own feet, heading straight first into a tree trunk.

One hand wrapped around my waist catching me from headbutting the tree, but the other grabbed at my hands, raising them to press on the trunk.

"Alex," I growled with shock and embarrassment.

The hand at my waist lifted up my top, unzipping my sports bra. I tried to wriggle from his grip, even using System to boost my strength, but I found him scarily much stronger than I'd imagined.

"I'm not in the mood," I tried again to pull my hands free, feeling slight pain as he pressed the wrists deeper into the bark. His hands tugged at my breast painfully. "Alex, what is this?"

He was always so sweet, and kind, like a little puppy full of love.

"You smell like him," his nose sniffed at my neck, and his lips then brushed against it, kissing softly.

"Where did he touch you?" I winced in pain, letting out a muffled cry, as he gripped my breast roughly again. "Here?"

I shook my head, feeling too frightened to speak, the complete one-eighty from his usual behaviour unhinged me.

"Here?" His hand slid down my pants and under, curving to pierce me with a finger.

Unintentionally I moaned in a weird mix of pleasure and pain, clutched my thighs together, and tried to twist away. He bit my neck painfully, whilst toying with my g-spot inside.

"S-stop," I collapsed, breathless, only being held up by the hand still gripping my wrists and the one still buried in my core, that only pressed my behind right up against the bulge at his groin.

"Is it because his seed is inside of you? Shall I replace it with mine?" His questions felt more like a threat. "Now we're here can you not give up the fame and fortune that bastard can give you," he mockingly laughed, continuing to drive me insane with just two fingers twitching.

"This," I moaned again, feeling myself cum without wanting to, feeling dirty and insane, "this isn't like you."

"You say that like you actually know who I am," his laugh was so condescending as he pulled his hand out of me and lowered my wrists, allowing me to rest my knees on the ground with a thud.

The trees were around me, I could use them to kill him if I wanted, but this was Alex. Sweet, ear-blushing, loyal and obedient Alex. I couldn't skewer him like I had Daniel, could I?

"Why am I even bothering?" he scoffed, wiping his hand on his jeans with disgust, "No point in fighting over trash with a bastard like that."

Without another glance he walked away, leaving me breathless and bewildered on the ground.
