Caught Between Two Worlds (paul stanley x oc fic)

Part 37

Ava and Paul got to the front of the line after waiting for 30 minutes, to Paul's agony. Once the people in front of them got into the club, they both stepped forward."Names?" The bouncer asked looking over his clipboard at the two."we're under the name Stanley." Paul said as Ava looked at him shocked."yep your on the list" the bouncer said as he moved the rope back to let the two into the club.As they walked over the threshold of the club, Ava said " You planned this?""of course I did. I had to put us on the list or else we wouldn't have been able to get in the club. Unless you would've let me compel the bouncer" Paul said as he put his arm around Ava's waist walked further into the club."yeah like I seriously going to let you do that Paul" Ava said as she took his arm away from her and walked towards the dance floor.Paul just shook his head and followed her."what are you doing?" He asked as he watched Ava scan the dance floor."I'm looking for the bar, I'm going to need a drink if I'm going to stay here with you" Ava said as she pointed in a certain direction and started walking through the mass of people."hey wait you really think I don't want something" Paul said with a laugh as he followed her."yeah like I'm really going to let you have a drink. Remember the hotter than hell photoshoot? That just cant happen again." Ava said as she finally made it to the bar and ordered herself a drink."you know that only happened because those girls were practically pouring drinks down me. Because I don't drink like that on my own" Paul said as he leaned against the bar looking out at the people dancing."uh huh..." Ava said sarcastically as she sipped her drink and glanced at him."so we're here. What do you wanna do just sit here and drink at the bar?" Ava asked as she looked at her drink, shrugged her shoulders and downed it in one gulp.Paul looked at her with a raised brow "are you ok?""yeah. just wanna make our time here go quicker" Ava said and she pushed herself off of the bar and stood in front of Paul."come on let's dance" Ava said holding her hand out to Paul who downed his drink and took her hand and walked her out to the dance floor as the music changed tempo."I love this song" Paul said as he recognized the beginning chords of the guitar, as he began singing along as he pulled Ava close to him.People say I'm the life of the partyBecause I tell a joke or twoAlthough I might be laughing loud and heartyDeep inside I'm blueSo take a good look at my faceYou'll see my smile looks out of placeIf you look closer, it's easy to traceThe tracks of my tearsI need you, need youSince you left me if you see me with another girlSeeming like I'm having funAlthough she may be cuteShe's just a substituteBecause you're the permanent oneSo take a good look at my faceYou'll see my smile looks out of placeIf you look closer, it's easy to traceThe tracks of my tearsI need you, need youOutside I'm masqueradingInside my hope is fadingJust a clown oh yeahSince you put me downMy smile is my make upAs the song ended, Paul and Ava released from there embrace."you know the longer I'm here the more I'm enjoying myself" Ava said as she looked up at him with a smile. "even though I kind of didn't come here of my own volition, but I'm having fun all the same." Ava said as stood on her toes and kissed Paul."see I knew you would have fun" he said with a smile."you know I have a feeling that we came here for more than just drinking and dancing. Why are we here?" Ava askedJust as Paul was going to respond the music that was already playing changed into music that definitely wasn't meant for the club.Once the music started, Ava's hand went to Paul's arm."Paul we have to go now..." Ava said as she tried to control the trembling in her voice."ok hold onto me" he said as he sped them out of the club and only stopped running until they were blocks away from the club."what the hell was that?" Paul asked as he let go of Ava who started pacing back and forth."it had to be him...no one else nows" Ava said to herself"what that music?" Paul asked still not understanding"sorry I'm just kind of freaking out right now. That specific piece of music, well I haven't heard it since, ugh, since I was with Jonathan." Ava said as she started hyperventilating"who knows about the song? Who are you talking about?" Paul asked as he grabbed ahold of her shoulders, stopping her pacing."there's Dakota and Cody, those are the only two people that I can think of that have heard that piece of music. It was the song that Jonathan and I walked down the aisle to." Ava said as she looked up at Paul."so that could have been Dakota then messing with us" Paul said hopefully"I know that you snapped her neck and everything but she wouldn't be so angry as to mess with me like that because she knows how hearing that song makes me feel." Ava said voice trembling."so what your saying is, is that Cody found us and wants to bother us yet again. Remember how that ended up last time." Paul said as he looked around them nervously."we all almost ended up dead" Ava said as she looked up at Paul "if it's him he's not going to make that mistake again...he never makes the same mistake twice""trust me he's no where near here" a voice said from a distance"who's there" Paul said as he moved to stand in front of Ava and his eyes changed color."whoa there cowboy calm down its just me" Dakota said as she stepped out of the shadows with her hand out."Dakota...I'm surprised" Ava said as she moved to stand next to Paul with a raised eyebrow."oh no I'm the one that's surprised. I was taking Paul to my hotel room when he snapped my neck. So trust me I get to be surprised right now. I mean I knew that you would eventually change him but not for the reasons you did" Dakota said as she stepped closer to the two."well what's done is done. Why did you have to go playing that music in the club. You know how that makes me feel" Ava said as she took a deep breath to control her voice."what are you talking about?" Dakota said as she looked at them both "what music I just followed you guys to the club to make sure you didn't hurt anyone""so you weren't the one that changed the music" Ava said as an overwhelming feeling of dread washed over her yet again."no I left the club when I saw you two dancing. I went outside and waited in case you guys came outside because I wanted to talk to you about what happened" Dakota explained"I understand why you changed him but you both have to get yourselves under control." Dakota said as she looked both of them in the eyes." Other than that though I don't see that there's any other problems with you having the powers as long as you make my cousin happy. Welcome to the family" Dakota said with a smile as she stepped up to Paul and hugged him, who at first returned it reluctantly and then finally wholeheartedly hugged Dakota back."thank you for not going crazy. She makes me happy, thank you for accepting me" Paul whispered as he released Dakota from the embrace."so we're fine now?" Ava asked with an uneasy smile"of course we are come on. I want to go back to the hotel to explain the situation to the guys" Dakota said as she started walking, with the couple following close behind.As they were walking Dakota looked back at the couple smiling as her eyes flashed crimson causing Ava to stop walking."whats wrong?" Paul asked as he looked in Dakota's direction, seeing her still walking."her eyes..her powers are on." Ava said in horror"so? Whats so bad about that?" Paul asked"she never turns her powers on at night in fear that she'll end up like me" Ava said to Paul as her voice started to tremble."do you think that's cody then?" Paul said as he again looked in Dakota's direction, but she wasn't there anymore."I have no idea who that is" Ava said as she grasped Paul's tightly as she looked up at him and saw his eyes change to red as he softly touched her face and leaned down to kiss her."don't worry I'm not going to let anything happen to you" Paul said as they continued walking hesitantly waiting for the mystery person to show themselves."what are you planning to do" Ava said as Paul took her hand in his."you mean if that person shows up again. Simply take them out." Paul said as he gave her hand a reassuring squeeze."where did all this confidence come from. Your just going to kill the person without a second thought" Ava said as she looked at him in shock."well yeah. If they want us dead, we have to kill them first its that simple" Paul said as continued walking back to the hotel."its because of the powers I guess. They make me feel stronger and I want to protect you so that's what I plan on doing" Paul explained as he glanced at her." I wish I could protect myself believe me when I say that...I don't like not being able to protect myself. But that's the reason why Cody did it, because he knew that it would get under my skin and that I would still try and use my powers. That's the whole point so that I'll weaken myself" Ava said as she tried to shake the thought from her mind."well then it's a blessing in disguise that I have powers now then isn't it" Paul said with a small smile.From a distance they heard a scream, stopping them in their tracks."damn it..why did we walk" Paul said as he grabbed Ava's wrist and ran towards the hotel."wait! That sounded like Dakota. What if shes in trouble?" Ava said, stopping Paul"what if that's what Cody wants you to think? To draw you in so he can kill us" Paul said, eyes dark with anger. "come on we have to get back to the hotel and find her and tell the guys that we have to leave" Paul continued as he went to grab Ava's wrist but stopped when he looked beyond Ava and saw a figure watching them."Ava...we have to go now" Paul whispered as he nodded in the direction of the figure, causing Ava to look in the same direction as the figure came into view."so you finally did it! I knew you would!" the person said as they stepped from out of the shadows."cody?" Ava asked as she unsteady took a step back as he appeared as he pushed Dakota towards them. "I found her at the hotel with her neck snapped..I'm assuming that you did that?" Cody asked as Ava held Dakota trying to shake her awake."Dakota! Come on please wake up!" Ava yelled as she violently shaked her and then bit into her wrist and started to feed Dakota her own blood, causing Dakota to become conscious and pushing Ava's wrist from her mouth."It was a mistake that I made when I wasn't in my right mind" Paul said towards Cody who stood there with a smirk on his face."oh I know that's how you feel. I'm just surprised that you just didn't kill her" Cody said he looked over at Dakota, who by now had gain her consciousness back and was stand on her own."stop tormenting us and kill us already" Dakota said as she glared at her brother."I mean that's the whole point of this, you going after everyone we've met to torture us, but what you really want is us dead" Dakota continued as she wiped the blood from her mouth."what are you trying to do get us actually killed?" Ava whispered to Dakota angrily."I'm trying to buy us time" Dakota said as she looked down at her cousin with a straightface"you have a plan...that's why your not scared" Ava said with realization"of course I have a plan. I always do" Dakota as she smiled turned and smiled wickedly at her brother."you have no idea what I've been doing since you've been with Paul for the last day" Dakota said as Ava noticed that her eyes where trained on something in the distance."what are you talking about?" Ava asked as she looked over at Paul whose eyebrows were furrowed as he listened to the conversation and also was watching something that was moving behind Cody."what are you two talking about? Like you have a plan? Really because it looks like I have you three caught" Cody said as he started moving towards them, but was stopped by a hand that came around him and grabbed his shoulder in a vice grip."I'm afraid you won't be killing anyone tonight" the voice said from behind Cody, causing Cody to freeze and his cynical expression fell and turned to one of shock as he turned to take the hand off of his shoulder. As Cody continued to struggle the person standing behind him, pulled Cody into the shadows, which was followed by Cody screaming."Dakota what did you do" Ava and Paul said at the same time as they quickly took the hint and started to run in the opposite direction, with Ava quacking backtracking to grab Dakota's hand and dragging her along with them, leaving Cody behind with the mystery person.Once they were outside of the hotel, the trio finally stopped running and tried to catch their breaths."what the hell was that?" Paul asked Dakota as he leaned over and took a couple deep breaths as he looked over at Dakota."I did something that helped us alright" Dakota said sharply as she looked over at Ava for a second and then went to walk into the hotel."wait what are you doing?" Ava asked as she stopped Dakota from walking into the hotel."I'm going to see Ace alright. I've been gone for a day and he's probably freaking out not knowing where I am" Dakota said as she side stepped Ava and then looked at Ava and said "I did something that I know will have consequences for all of us and I'm sorry for that." Dakota said sadly as she look at Ava and Paul."what are you talking about?" Paul asked as he put his hand on Dakota's shoulder and spun her around to face him."shes talking about me" the same voice said from behind them causing them all to turn in that direction."she did what she thought she had to do to help" the voice continued in an English accent, causing Ava to gasp as she finally recognized the voice."Jonathan?" Ava asked towards the figure as he stepped up from out of the shadows and into the lights that were illuminating from the hotel."yes...it's been a long time Ava" he said as he stared at the trio and fixed his blue-green eyes on Ava "I've missed you so much sweetheart" he continued as he smiled as his eyes changed from blue-green to black.Ava started hyperventilating at the sight of him and started to try and grasp onto Paul's arm as her eyes rolled back in her head and fainted. Before she could hit the ground, Paul caught her and looked up at the man standing in front of him."so your Jonathan..." Paul said as he glared at him as his eyes turned red."yes and you must be Paul, I've heard so much about you from Dakota...you're the one that my wife has taken a liking to...but not for long" he said as the smile that he had on his face fell and turned into a deathly glare towards Paul.
