Started With A Wedding

Nico

Rocks crunch under my tires as I drive as fast as I can. After Lilith hung up I called the detective to let him know where she was. She's not safe right now and it's all my fault.

I told her to leave and now she's in the hands of a monster! What was I thinking telling her to leave? I believe every bone in my body when it tells me she isn't the type of woman to lie. She wouldn't lie about that being my baby, but because of my stubborn mind, I let her walk away.

I'm falling for her hard and I let her walk away. This time though I'm going to get her back.

That crazy fucker Alec is supposed to be her best friend and yet he broke into her house and trashed it. How well does she know him? What made him go crazy? Or has he always been crazy?

Alec's house comes into view. I hope she's okay! I need to make sure she's okay. It's already been 40 minutes since she hung up on me. If she was out she would have called me or the detective.

Pulling up onto the street I hop out of my car. There is no time for me to park. I need to get in there Immediately!

Slamming my car door shut I run-up to his house. This may not be the best thing to do. I mean he's not even going to let me in, but I have to try.

Banging on his door I call out "Alec open up!" Crossing my arms I wait impatiently.

If he doesn't open up within 5 minutes I'm going to break open his door. A few minutes pass and I hear shuffling. Then the door swings open.

Alec stands in the doorway with his arms crossed. "What do you want?"

"I'm looking for Lilith? Have you seen her?" I question him. My eyes inspect behind him but nothing seems messy.

"No, she left a few minutes ago." He shrugs.

"Well, I can't get in contact with her! Are you sure she left?" Pulling out my phone I dial her number.

"Why would I lie-" he stops when the sound of Lilith's ringtone rings through the air. He looks at me wide-eyed.

Pushing him to the side I rush into the house. There is a large bloodstain on his carpet to the right side of his living room.

Before I can say anything something sharp pinches into my skin. Letting out a groan I turn to look.

Alec stands there with a smile on his face. My blood dripping onto the floor as the knife in his hand disappears into my skin. "If only you hadn't come!" He laughs.

Before he can stab into my skin anymore I kick him. He falls to the floor and my hands hover above my wound. Taking this time I pull the knife out of my skin slowly with a loud groan.

Once I get it out of my skin Alec comes charging towards me. "I won't let you ruin my plans." He yells.

I dodge his attack and he falls to the ground. "Fuck you! Where is Lilith!" I kick him in the stomach and he falls.

Taking the knife in my hand just as I'm about to stab him he grabs my foot and makes me lose my balance. The knife falls out of my hand as I land on the floor.

"Why are you doing this!" I groan.

He gets to his feet and picks up the knife I struggle but manage to get up also. Holding my side I feel the blood pool out of my side.

"If I can't be with Lilith then no one can." Alec frowns. "I've been beside her all this time and in return, she gets with you!"

He charges towards me again but I dodge him. Then I punch him in the side causing the air inside him to go out and him to bend over.

"Tell me where she is!" Yelling I punch him. Again and again and again. His nose and mouth start to bleed.

"No!" He coughs up blood.

Just as I'm about to hit him again the police bust in. The detective right behind them.

His eyes widen as he looks at me. The police point their guns at Alec. "Shit! Are you okay Nico? Why the hell did you come here." The detective scolds me while walking towards me.

My vision starts to blur from the loss of blood, but I can't pass out until I know Lilith is safe. "I'm sorry, but when Lilith told me she was here I had to come and make sure she was okay."

He shakes his head and holds my wound. "We need to get you into the ambulance." He says but I shake my head.

"I can't. I need to find Lilith." Pushing him away I walk up the stairs. Looking back I see them cuffing a bloody Alec. It's what he deserves.

Looking through every room I follow the blood trail on the floor. That blood on the carpet had to be hers. I just hope she's okay.

Walking into the room at the far end I see her. She's on a bed. Blood all over her shirt. A knife deep into her arm.

Fuck. Running over to her I inspect her more. He must have hit her in the head hard with something. "Lilith!" Taking her into my arms I try to wake her. "Lilith baby please wake up!"

The detective walks into the room with a medic. "Fuck." His eyes widen as the medic rushes over.

"No no no Lilith." Holding her close I close my eyes as I start to lose consciousness....
