The Devilman's Epiphany ✔️

XLVIII- It's either me or no one

It's been a few days and I finally slept for the first time on the hard floor. "What do I do from here?" I asked myself. I'm not going to sit around and wait for a saviour because I know they don't exist, at least not in my world. Carmelo has been helping me with the foods. Making sure they're okay for me to eat. If I knew where Rex was I could plan something and maybe it would work. I was looking at the stars from the small window and just trying to calm my breath.
I don't want to cry right now.

I flinched when I heard the lock hit the door slightly. It sounded like someone was fiddling with it. I moved to the back of the room because I thought it was Cameron but I couldn't have been more off. I bolted when I saw him. I tried to be as quiet as possible as I jumped on Rex and he held me tightly. One hand holding behind my head as I rest my head on his neck and the other was holding me up. "Are you good?" He pulled away and inspected me.

He inspected me as he looked like that.

He had a cut on his lip and it looked like there was a almost healed black eye. "Am I good? Rex." I cupped his face as he flinched. I saw a sore spot on his neck and his chest was black and blue. "Who did it?" I asked trying to calm my breath. "Arabella we need to get out of here." I nodded understanding that I need to shut the fuck up. He held my hand as we walked in a fast phase. He stopped right before we took a turn down the hall. There was two rooms to our side. I saw four men in one room and heard a few in the other one. "I got right." I said and he nodded at me before we just bolted to the rooms.

"What-?!" Only one guy took out his gun as the others straight up ran at me. I punched the first guy and twisted his arm hard enough to break it before using him as a shield. I grabbed the knife from his hand and right when I sliced his eyes the other guy got a hold of my hand.

I dropped the first one and got behind this guy so they couldn't get a clear shot on me. I slammed my head on his and got my arm back when he stumbled. I got him by the throat and thew the knife at the guy who was holding the gun. I saw Rex come in from the corner of my eye and he dealt with the guy who was trying to make a call in the corner. I ran so the guy wouldn't be able to pick the gun back up.

I should've been more careful.

The guy stepped on my hand and so had to hold myself from making too much noise. I pushed him back, making him fall and didn't bother using the gun and wasting bullets. I grabbed the knife back from his arm and he got a hold of my hands right before it could land on his chest. "You fucking bitch. Burn in hell." He spit out.

"You first." I said before slamming the knife in his chest and got up from on top of him. I grabbed the knife back and held the gun in my other hand. Rex and I walked out to where he was leading us.

I saw Cameron in the next room.

He was leaning back to the counter and he looked like he was trying to calm himself. I heard Rex breathe heavily and gripped his hand before he could go for Cameron. It's best if we avoid him and try sneaking out. I'm pretty sure he can inform everyone with a click. Rex shook his head and walked in front of me again quickly so he wouldn't change his mind. I forgot how he was in these type of situations. He looked lifeless, like he has never heard of an emotion before.

We saw the door and just stumbled. It was too easy.

That's not right.

We heard running and just looked at each other before Rex grabbed my hand and ran outside.

There was a lot of people there.

We shot as many as people as possible and just ran in one direction. Right when I got a slight hope of escape I heard the unmistakable voice groan in pain. "Rex!" He fell down as he gripped his torso. "Go. Get out." I shook my head and slapped his hand away. Oh my god. "Arabella, get the fuck up right now!" Rex never spoke to me like that but I've heard it before. I was speechless for a second then got up and started to run as fast as I could. "I don't want to hurt you!" I heard a voice yell from behind me.

I stopped which didn't seem like a mistake to me in the moment.

I punched Cameron as hard as I could in the face and he held onto me as he fell. "Get off! Get the fuck off!" I yelled as I tried kicking or hitting him but I was trapped. "Do I need to kill my brother to have you all for myself, Arabella?" My chest raise and fell rapidly as my breath slowed down. I laid my head back and looked at the side so he could get a good view.

I fucking hate doing this.

"You're so fucking beautiful." He murmured as he leaned to my neck. "And smell... So fucking good." I forced myself to speak. "Cameron." I turned my head so his was closer to mine. He looked scared. I dropped my gaze to his lips and saw him breathe deeply. I got one of my hands back and he didn't protest as I cupped his face. I turned us around so now I was on top and completely fucking free from the psychopath.

"So stupid." I muttered and he narrowed his eyes the second I used both my hands to choke him. "You fucking maniac!" I yelled as he gripped my hands but now I was halfway standing up. I fell on his chest using both my knees and he finally looked like he was about to suffocate. I didn't realise my surroundings till someone got a hold of me by the waist and pulled me back. I elbowed them back as Cameron started coughing. I was about to bolt again till I was caged for good from behind. "Don't touch me!" I tried pushing my arms forward and then elbowing him but it was no use.

"I'm not going to hurt you." He whispered in my ear as he dragged me back. I refused to stop trying till I saw Rex by Leonardo's side.

They made a deal?

I saw a medic rush to him and he didn't drop his eyes from me as Cameron dragged me back.

He just watched me curl up in the corner and I couldn't say a word. How do we get out of this one? I can feel my walls come down. I just want to scream and yell at them before breaking free but that's just not going to happen is it? I shouldn't have given myself this much hope with Rex. Yes he'll survive from this but we won't. And that's exactly the problem.

"Why do you keep me hostage if you love me? Wouldn't you want my happiness if you love me even a little bit? I'm happy with Rex, only he makes me happy." I said calmly as I rested my back on the wall and Cameron was just staring at me. "I want you to be happy... Only with me. If he's your happiness then I'll destroy it. It's either me or no one, Arabella." He said even more calm than I am... Like a true psychopathic idiot and walked out leaving me alone again.
