How I Survived

Part 36

"Let's get this show on the road" I used one hand to lift up my silky dress as I stepped out the car, my face neutral but my stomach starving.

Nik got out his side and met me in front of the car as paparazzi started to arrive at the scene, flashing pictures and blinding lights.

With heads raised and gossip spreading two of the most elite teenagers world wide walked towards the classy restaurant.

Niks arm wrapped around my waist would no doubt make the front page tomorrow. I should prepare for a long phone call from Seph now.

One of the paparazzi men came to grab me about to ask me a question as my mind was elsewhere, the scene of Nik twisting the mans wrists ultimately breaking before he could touch me it brought me back to reality.

Obviously we couldn't just whip out our guns or some shit and shoot him in front of normal people so did something that spiced up the evening a bit.

I lifted my fist back and punched him right in the nose, effectively breaking it causing the rest of the paparazzi to go wild.

I honestly couldn't care less about my reputation in the media so the fact that we would now make more front pages didn't bother me, I'd call some people and make sure it doesn't look to bad anyways.

Nik muttered small curse words in french at the guy as his arm wrapped tighter around my waist as though protecting me as we finally made it inside the restaurant.

And so the night began.

I felt different tonight, as though something shifted inside of me. I wasn't quite sure what it was though. I sat next to Nik with Kios, Kat and Diana opposite us and we spoke and ate all night.

I ordered and ate a lot of food and dessert and made sure to keep away from the alcohol seeing as that was all I literally drank the last week.

Wiping my mouth with a napkin the ringtone of a the song anaconda started playing making me realise someone was calling me.

I excused myself from the table and answers the phone

"Bitch you really think you could get away with going out with of the most hottest millionaires ever, girl tell me are you getting that bag or is someone in love" she teased her loud voice literally screaming down the phone

And so 10 minutes of me explaining everything that happened past and Sephs support and comments lifted my mood even more.

Later that night I had a conversation with Diana about how she would bring in her best fighter to train me extra tomorrow morning so I changed and headed to bed after that.

----
"Phoenix Phoenix help me!" A little voice screamed as my head spun around wildly

"Lily! Lily is that you" I screamed running into a door

"No..no...no" I ran up to her limp body on the floor, blood pooling on her stomach as I applied pressure

Her clothes, a lime green tunic and some black capris, were bloody. And the smell. The smell was the most disturbing thing I had ever sniffed.

"Why" i cried as tears trickled down my face "why did you do it"

"It's all your fault" her face transformed into Rose's as my breathing increased my heart pounding in my head

"This isn't real this isn't real" I muttered to myself shaking my head.

Why can't I wake up?

My bloody hands clutched my mouth trying to conceal my sons as Astraea stumbled in the room "your a monster"

Leonardo followed in after "your a monster you ruin everything" he hissed as his face turned into Raidans "monster" the feeling of a stab wound through my stomach
