Chapter 33

Tension filled the air as Sabrina stared Emma up and down repeatedly, Emma attempting to hold a smile as she stared at Sabrina.

Sabrina's arms folded, her eyes narrowing as if she were Draven trying to intimidate someone, but she tried answering her unasked question. Somehow, she felt there was a secret hanging in the air. A secret between her and Draven.

Did they do something together? No, they were only apart for a few days, but then he was desperate to move on.

When Emma entered the house, Sabrina was happy to meet her. The first words that even came out of Emma's mouth were "Wow you didn't say she was pretty" That alone meant Draven was talking about her. Something she didn't expect from someone who barely trusted a soul other than her and Jr. He was closed off, so why did he talk about her and if they were friends? Draven didn't have friends, certainly not female ones either.

Emma laughed nervously by the silence, glancing at Draven and he along with Jr huffed. Finally, Jr his hands in the air. "Oh my God Sabrina they kissed! So what?!" He yelled and all eyes fell onto his frustration.

"Gee it's so obvious. The tension is so thick I can't even breathe. Ugh!" He jumped off the stool, slamming his door behind him and both women's eyes fell to Draven as he chuckled, but it quickly stopped. He glanced at Sabrina, scratching behind his neck. "So... I'm... Okay," He turned around, walking into their room, the door closing after him.

Sabrina rolled her eyes as she stuck her hand out. "Sabrina" She smiled, still there was a bit of possession in her tone which made her frown, but Emma didn't heed it as she shook her hand. "The ex-fiancé?"

"No" Sabrina's smile widened. "Just...fiancé" Her head tilted as her cells began to expand in her body. So, Draven had talked about their relationship. To her?

"Oh sorry. That was quite fast" She said in a polite tone as she released Sabrina's hand, but Sabrina took defense to the comment. "Expected it to be a slow process?" She folded her arms with a glare that could kill.

She never was rude to anyone but knowing another woman kissed Draven, probably touched him, and walked in her house declaring false titles provoked a small possessive part of Sabrina that she didn't know she had. She wouldn't be rude to Emma, that wasn't her character, and she definitely wouldn't argue or hate her, but for now, she was bitter.

"Uh... No, I didn't mean it that way sorry" She apologized and washed away some bitterness in Sabrina's heart. "Sorry about my brother and his outbursts. Hungry?"

Emma smiled with a nod.

Muscles sore, arms falling yet not being relieved to slump altogether instead held by ropes, her eyelashes stuck together as she forced them open with a painful moan.

As her blurry vision attempted to clear, a face was up close and before she could scream, an instant reaction, the hand been over her mouth muffling her voice.

Blinking her eyes repeatedly, she cried in relief, blurring her vision once more as the face was welcoming.
"Makayla" She whispered, and the hand left from her mouth as she took a crouch in front of her. Of course, Julia didn't expect sympathy or regret in her eyes had she been experimented on as Draven, her emotions suppressed.

"They have your device. I couldn't get it" She groaned, and Julia understood the pained look etched onto her face. She felt she failed a mission. "It doesn't matter" She assured as she gestured to the watch wrapped onto her wrist. "I knew ahead of time before they began rallying us up and I linked my watch to my tablet. I need a favor though"
