The Breeding

chapter 10

"What was that?" I ask them.

"We don't know we haven't looked we were all worried about you" Larsyn replies " are you ok now?".

I look at all of them towering over us and nod " how are you guy's, is everyone good?".

They all murmur versions of yes and I relax more, thankful no one is hurt.

"Let's see if we can figure out what's going on" Baine encourages while holding his hand down for me to grab.

I take it and he pulls me up to my feet, I quickly fix my shirt and make sure I'm completely covered before looking up at everyone.

They were all looking anywhere but at me as I made sure I wasn't showing anything and that makes me smile softly.

"Okay let's see what happened" I speak letting them know I'm finished.

Krew and Nyx stand up and move to either side of me framing me in between them. It makes me feel safe and protected so I reach for both of their hands as we walk down the hall to the front of the house.

Krew pulls my right hand up to his mouth and kisses the back of it at the same time Nyx squeezes my left hand and softly smiles down at me.

We get to the front entrance but when Lorenzo grabs the handle and pulls it doesn't open, I don't see A lock on the inside so I don't think we can unlock it.

"I think they lock the door from the outside, I tried to open it the first day we all were dumped here and it wouldn't budge" A tall guy with light brown hair and hazel eye's says and I realize he is the only one I haven't talked to yet nor do I know his name.

A couple of the guy's curse at his statement.

"I also searched the entire building and every window and way out is locked from the outside" the unknown guy murmurs with concern in his voice.

"Fuck why would they do that, what if there is A fire and we can't get out?" Laurent questions out loud.

I start to get scared thinking we might be in danger but know freaking out will not help. I guess I looked scared because I'm suddenly pulled into someone's embrace and my hands are pulled out of Krew's and Nyx's.

"It's ok we won't let anything happen to you" Larsyn whispers against my head as he holds me to his hard chest.

I relax in his hold and wrap my arm's around his waist letting my heart calm down. He pulls back and takes my face in his hands looking me in the eye's to check I'm ok.

He leans down and kisses my forehead then grabs my hand so he's leading us back down the hall, I pass by the guy with hazel eye's and we make eye contact as I pass sending a shiver down my back.

Larsyn leads me to the living room and sits me down on one of the couches then starts pacing in front of me looking exhausted and worried.

I look around and see all the guy's have followed us in here and is sitting or standing with concern on their faces as well.

I don't know what do or say in this situation, how do I reassure them and be positive if I don't even believe it myself. I've never relied on anyone or had someone rely on me, this is all new and hard to get used to. Before this I never talked to anyone besides my mother and every so often a stranger in the village.

This is all overwhelming, I feel like locking myself in a room and just crying for hour's until I can't anymore. I haven't even been able to process or acknowledge everything i've endured the last couple month's at the hands of those evil people who brought me here.

I didn't have a good life before I was taken not by a long shot but I was used to it, it was familiar and constant. Now everything was new and strange and I don't know how to cope with it all.

Without looking up I stand and start walking down the hall towards the room's, I just need a break from everything and everyone's eye's always on my it makes my skin itch and I want to crawl out of my skin. I feel dirty even when I'm clean, like what I went through made me unclean from the inside out.

"Hey, Vaia..... Are you ok" I hear one of the guy's ask behind me.

I don't have the energy to talk so I just nod and continue down the hall until I find a door that's open and mostly empty besides a small bed along a wall and a dresser by a lone window.

This will do I guess.

I turn around and close the door behind me and thankfully there is a lock on the handle to keep myself locked away.

I hear footsteps walk to the door and stop but whoever it is doesn't knock or try to talk to me through the door.

I sigh in relief and walk to the bed and slide under the covers until I'm completely tucked in and huddled in a tight ball.

I feel numb but so full of emotions at the same time.

I try not to think about what the doctors did to me in that room but it constantly replays in my mind when I'm alone. I shudder in disgust and finally let the tears fall, finally able to just break down and not have eye's judging and scrutinizing me.

I don't know how long I cry until I finally stop, I'm hungry and tired but I decide I'd rather sleep and continue to hide then go out and have to talk and act fine when I'm not.

I just want to disapear for a little bit.
