The Hybrid

Chapter 22

Chapter 22

I stared into the darkness as I laid in Alex's arms. Feeling his breath on the back of my neck it tickled me slightly, my hair moved with each of his breaths. I laid like this for hours, waited for him to fall asleep. I was also preparing myself mentally to face Henry. I felt fear and anxiety slowly rising in my body with every passing hour but it didn't hinder my determination. The only thing in my mind was to protect Alex. Nothing was more important than this.

I knew he was in deep sleep for a while and I could get up but I laid in his arms few more minutes longer enjoying the last moments I had with him.

Tears began to fall from my eyes into the side of my hair. The thought of us never being together filled my mind. I would never feel his presence again, never smell his scent I loved so much. Never felt his warm touch on my skin, his soft lips on mine.

I felt agony in my heart for doing this to him. We have been together for a few days and I wished for a lot more time. I wished my life wouldn't be so fucked up, literally.

I slowly moved his hand that was draped over my waist and got up making sure I wouldn't wake him up. I couldn't think about what could have been, if I had, I would never leave and I couldn't let that happen. Once I was on my feet I wiped the tears from my face and glanced at his face. He looked young, boyish and absolutely handsome. His long hair was sprawled on the pillow behind him and the corners of his lips were raised slightly.

I put on leggings and a jumper that was draped over a chair as quietly as I could. I put on my combat shoes and headed towards the dresser where I put a piece of paper and pen earlier.

I wrote a short letter to Alex, explaining to him why I did what I was about to do. I explained my love for him and urged him to go to Boston. I would probably be dead by the time he would read it. I placed the piece of paper on the nightstand next to him. Then I leaned in connecting my lips to his gently. He moved a little bit and I froze but thankfully he didn't wake up.

Grabbing my jacket I quietly opened the door and left the room. When I entered the dark living room I heard the faint inhale and exhale of Sam's breath. He was deep in sleep as well but I still had to be careful.

Once I was in the hallways outside of the apartment I let out a sigh of relief. As I got into the elevator I began feeling very anxious. My hands started to shake and I began to play with the zipper of my jacket to distract myself. I chew the inside of my mouth to the point where it started hurting but I didn't care. My anxiety was stronger. After a few seconds, my anxiety slowly shifted into dread. I was afraid. Who wouldn't be if they knew they were going to face death?

I can do this, I can do this, I can do this I chanted in my head.

When I entered the streets freezing, crisp air hit me in the face. It was eerily quiet seeing it was around three am. When my eyes looked around there was no one, the streets were quiet in this part of the city. As I walked further into the city it got livelier. People walked by and mingled, shops were opened and it resembled more as the never-sleeping city.

As I walked I tried not to think about what's going to happen in the next hour or so. I kept my mind empty. I only concentrated on putting my leg in front of the other. I didnt even pay much attention to my surroundings.

Suddenly I heard the screeching of wheels on the asphalt right next to me. My head shot towards the noise and a black SUV stoped right next to me. My eyes widened and before I could react, the door opened, I felt hands on both of my elbows as they pulled me in. I fought trying to break free and tried to scream hoping someone would hear me but a hand landed on my lips rather roughly before a sound escaped my lips. I attempted to screams anyway could it wasn't loud enough to get anyone's attention. They struggled against my attempt to break free but they won. My abductors were stronger seeing there was two of them. I was pushed into the seat and the door slammed close.
