The Coma Patient

Chapter 12

A/N: Took a little longer than I'd planned (My laptop broke so I've been constricted to the living room desktop, which doesn't leave me much time. Plus I'm in the middle of Finals). It's not as long as I would've liked either but I wanted to save the next bit for the next chapter. 

Let me know what you think

Thanks so so much for reading, it really means the world to me.

Everyone's eyes were on me suddenly. I couldn't focus on anything but the voice. Cold and calm. Belle stepped back to let him in and his eyes immediately met mine. His eyes were the same purple of his brother's. They sent chills down my spine. He ran his hand through his black hair as he walked to me. I felt frozen in place. Like moving was impossible.

            "I've been looking for you everywhere," he finally said. His voice was low and sounded a lot like a warning. "You're in a load of trouble. It's unfortunate, really. You're quite pretty."

            "W-what do you mean?" I asked, flinching at the fear in my voice.

            Before he could speak Josh spoke up. "Who is this, Chastity?"

            "Please excuse my poor manners," he said. "I'm Sebastian. Chastity seems to have my brother wrapped around her pinky finger. You broke his heart, poor sap. Sending him away like that. So rude of you."

            "H-he lied to me—"

            "No," Sebastian shook his head. "He didn't. You lied to yourself."

            "Chastity, what the hell is going on?" Belle asked loudly.

            "So you actually kept your mouth shut?" Sebastian seemed surprised that I hadn't told them about Christian. "Good job. It's unfortunate that it doesn't make a difference."

            "What do you mean?" I asked. Nerves rushed through my body mixing with the blood in my veins.

            "Christian has been moping around like a lost puppy. It's ridiculous. They figured out that he told you the truth. They sent me to collect you," he looked around at my friends. "As well as any others, if necessary."

            "Who sent you?" I asked.

            A sly grin smoothed over his lips and his eyes darkened as they met mine. "My bosses." There was something sinister in his voice that made my bones quake. I knew that going to meet his bosses was not something I should look forward to.

            "Christian?" Belle asked stepping towards me. "You mean the guy you told me about? The one from your dream?"

            Sebastian's eyes moved to Belle before returning to me. "How much does she know?"

            "Nothing," I replied. Nothing important was what I meant by that.

            "Outside," he ordered. I wasn't sure if that meant he believed me or not. Either way I couldn't believe being alone with him was a good thing. "Outside." His voice was harder this time, due to my hesitation.

            "She's not going anywhere with you," Ralph proclaimed strongly.

            "It's okay, Ralph," I said quickly, before Sebastian could react. "I'm good."

            "This guy's a psycho, Chas," Josh said, anger clear. "Call the cops, Belle."

            "Don't," I said but Belle was already dialing on her cell.

            Her phone went flying from her hand before any of us could even blink, crashing against the wall. Sebastian was in front of her, rage clear in his shaking form. He forced her eyes to meet his and instantly she froze. "You're going to shut up—all of you—and sit down. Chastity and I are going to leave. None of you will remember her even being here this evening after we've gone." It was like they were entranced. They obeyed like he was in their heads—he probably was. He looked towards me again, he was paler this time and his eyes were no longer as sharp as before. "Come now." My feet were moving, instantly. Like they weren't even mine to control. My body felt heavy and drained as I approached him. It felt like time stopped as I felt myself falling. I slipped away from the world, trying my best to cling to consciousness.
