章節 35: I'm sorry
I hear a low growl really close to us. I look and I see Apollo or Nick or… both? I still don't know how this wolf transformation thingy works. He's not alone a brown and a grey wolf are next to him, really big but not as big as Nick's or Ethan's wolf. I know they're Dylan and Theo.
The four wolves look at each other and stay silent for a couple of seconds, I really think they're about to beat each other up. I sigh annoyed and pinch the bridge of my nose, please don't beat each other, it took me a great deal of pain to patch him up, I don't think I can do it again.
Ethan looks at me and then turns, starting to run the other way. I'm glad he decided to leave, fighting wouldn't help anyone. I look at the wolves. Are they going to chase after him? Nick seems the type that hates people who run.
Taking me by surprise, the wolf shifts into Nick… a very, very naked Nick. I turn my head to avoid seeing him but it's too late. I saw it, the… it. I'm going to throw up. Curse my luck.
"Alice!" Nick runs at me. Ah shit. Don't run at me, I don't want to touch your naked body.
Once he reaches me, the idiot hugs me, I thought I was going to feel disgusted but honestly, I'm glad I'm being touched by something warm again, I'm cold. I can't see, feel or do anything else, because I immediately fall asleep after that.
*BEEP*BEEP*BEEP*BEEP*
Annoying beeping sounds try to wake me up, but I do my best to ignore them. I just want to keep sleeping. I groan lightly.
"I think she's waking up".
Nnope, I'm not waking up, I'm still sleeping. You're imagining things, Nick.
I try to go back to sleep but I can't, that's a shame. I open my eyes and slowly look around, I'm in Nick's room, I see an IV in my arm and some weird-looking machines attached to me.
"Alice?" Nick says in a worried voice. "Are you ok? How do you feel?" his voice sounds worried but kind, completely different from the annoying 'I'm the boss, I don't care what you think' tone he normally uses.
I don't really feel like talking, everything hurts, and I just want to sleep. I look around and I don't see Sean, that means one out of two things 1.-Dad doesn't know I'm here or 2.-he knows but already knows I'm out of danger. Either way, I don't have to worry about his safety for the moment.
"What did he do to you?" Nick starts asking me and I just look at him unimpressed.
Does he think this is the best moment to start an interrogatory? Well, seeing the way he found us, I'm not surprised he thinks he hurt me but, this is just recoil. Among the things I can do, this is the ability I hate the most. I can't exactly heal people. I can just transfer the wound to myself and then use the energy to heal me of, most of the time, ghosts but other times… the living. Normally when I do this it hurts but Blacky is strong enough to help heal so I never had to feel this much pain, but I knew what was going to happen this time and I don't regret it.
Nick clears his throat and that makes me look at him. We stare at each other, and no answer comes out of my mouth. He groans "Alice, it's been three days, I've been trying my best to give you space, but this has been going long enough". The hell is with his outburst?
"Nick, you kidnapped me, that fact is not going to change regardless of what you do" I explain calmly, is he expecting me to have Stockholm syndrome? he's saying that as if three days is a lot of time to forget the fact that someone took you away from home.
"Stop being childish Alice. You have to get over it!" he shouts, and I stared at him with a mixture of anger and astonishment. Why is he saying it as if he was doing me a favor? I quite hate him, why should I put an effort to get along when he was the one that did something bad?
I just glare at him and that seems to make him angrier. "This is for your own good Alice! You saw what happened today! You could've died! I'm not going to lose you!"
I sigh and shake my head annoyed. "Stop acting as if you're pitying me!" Nick shouts.
"I'm not pitying you, I'm just tired of you" why does he seems to get angrier every time I reply calmly? Does he want me to shout? It's hard for me to have a feelings outburst, it's even harder when I know the person hearing my feelings is going to ignore them.
He growls and starts walking towards me, creeping closer and the back of my neck gets shivers, his eyes are shining, and I have a feeling he's about to do something really bad. Once he gets close enough, he puts his arms on each side of my head.
He starts talking in a low dangerous tone "You're no longer allowed outside this room" I look him in the eye. I'm sad he thinks he has a right to stop me.
"I know" he says while smirking. "I'm sure you're not going to listen, Alice. That's why I have to do this" he says looking down at me and I feel cold sweat running down my back.
He rips open the shirt I was using, one of Nick's shirts, leaving me only in my bloody sports bra. I glare at him. He better not be trying what I think he is. "Stay still" he says with a commanding tone.
He starts liking my neck. It seems he's not planning on rapping me, it doesn't feel like a sexual act, but I feel disgusted. What is he doing? It feels like I'm about to be tied down by something strong, something sacred that's going to tie my soul to him.
I feel his canines grazing my skin and I shiver in fear. I don't like this, it feels wrong like I'm going to lose part of my freedom. Not like this, it's wronged this way. It must be consensual; this has to be done when two hearts feel in sync. When it's not like that, souls break. I don't know how I know this; I just do.
I start squirming under him, I must get away, I have to run no matter how much my body hurts. His hands start holding my wrists and he puts his weight under me. I glare at him. I immediately kick in between his legs and he gasps in pain. I push him as hard as I can, ripping the IV from my arm and unhooking the machines in the process. I start running towards the door.
I run to the elevator, luckily it doesn't take much time to arrive, and I immediately push the fifth-floor button. I run towards a familiar blue wooden door. I'm almost sure Jos is going to be here. I hope she can help me.
I start banging on the door. It hurts a lot; my body is already injured so doing this, hurts. I don't think I can fight Nick alone. I'm scared. I'm alright with dying, I don't want to die yet but it's part of life, if you accept life then you accept death but what Nick is trying to do is different. I don't know what it is, but I know it's going to break me in ways I will not be able to fix.
I keep banging the door until Theo opens it. He looks at my expression and frowns "what's wrong? Are we under attack?" he sounds calm but alert.
I take a deep breath; I need to calm myself. I can't trust him, he's on Nick's side. "Is Jos here?" I ask in my monotonic voice; I don't know if he noticed but my voice broke slightly.
"Yeah, she's with Lucas and my mom…" he stops talking, and my breath hitches. He looks like he's zoning out and I know Nick's giving them instructions, but the spell he seemed to be under, went away as soon as it appeared not giving me time to react.
He looks at me with a guilty face and I know he's not going to help me. I try to turn around and run but he catches me. "Let go" I say as firmly and as fiercely as I can "let.me.go" I try again but he starts walking inside the apartment.
"Theo, you said you owed me for helping your mom, help me just this once. Let me go" I try, my voice is no longer calm, I'm desperate, my voice is desperate.
"I'm sorry, I can't" he doesn't make eye contact.
