Chasing Evelyn

26

-Elijah Harper-

*TW*

I don't know how the fuck he escaped. Alastair doesn't even know what the fuck happened.

"What do you mean the camera's got cut." He gritted to someone.

She shrugs "when you asked me to look it was just static. Someone snuck in and cut the wires." She says

Alastair runs his fingers through his hair "Evelyn." I whisper, it just hit me.

Alastair looks at me "he must've went for her." I say grabbing my phone and trying to call her.

She didn't pick up, not after I kept calling her "come on angel, pick up.." I whisper

The door slams open and we see Cesare breathing heavily "your going to want to see this." He says, we rush out and follow him to the room.

Claire had tears in her eyes and Alastair walks towards her look at the computer.

I see his eyes harden and I push past him and my eyes widened at the photo.

It was Evelyn. Bleeding everywhere.

I felt my breathing shorten the more I looked at the image, the more I saw her the blood on her.

"She's there again.." I say, I knew that place, it was engraved in my mind as I remembered how everything looked there. Nothing changed.

Alastair looks at me "we'll go there then." I shake my head "they definitely moved her. If I know where she is they'll move her." I say.

I could tell they definitely moved her, unless they wanted us there.

"It doesn't hurt to check." Cesare say's rubbing Claire's back and wiping away her tears.

"You go home. I'll deal with this." Alastair says, I shake my head "I'm not letting her go through that again, I'm not leaving her in that place again." I grit.

"Elijah. That wasn't a suggestion." Alastair says calmly.

My breathing shortened by the minute as I look at the imagine of her.

She needs to be okay

"I can't leave her there." I say, Alastair nods and sighs "let's go. Claire?" He says.

Claire's eyes harden "I'm not staying here." She grits getting up before walking out.

We all drive to where Evelyn could possible be, I storm out of the car and open the doors.

The top floor was empty, and I go to basement to see if she could be there, I check the rooms and she's not in any of them.

My eyes flicker to the last door and I hesitantly open it being familiar with the door.

My eyes stare at the chair in the middle of the room and then the table.

I walk towards it "don't touch anything." Alastair says walking in.

My eyes remain on the small table as I see the bloody knife and then the note.

They knew we were going to come here.

I stare at the note in confusion at what it said, what it meant.

'You owe me Alastair.'

He walks by and stares at the note he shouts something and all I can think of is what they could be doing to her.

They could be doing everything that happened to her here, where she is now.

Claire stares at the note and I can't even focus on what she's saying as I feel my breathing quicken.

I rush out of this place already getting the memories again and throw up.

I wipe my mouth and try and control my breathing, I need her right now, the panic attack is reaching me as I slide down the wall.

I pull at my hair as everything comes back and I have nothing to help me, the only person who can calm me down isn't here right now.

My breathing is shaky and I don't even realize that Claire is in front of me.

I don't hear what she's saying because all I'm focused on is the familiar blonde that's not in my arms.

The girl with ocean eyes, the sweetest personality, the biggest smile, the girl with a crystal obsession that's not here telling me I'm okay, telling me that nothings wrong with me.

That it's okay to have panic attacks, to hold me until my breathing calms down and draws those patterns on my arm.

I feel as if I'll pass out if I don't control my breathing. Thinking of her isn't helping.

Her voice is what I need to hear, I need to hear her saying something to me no matter what it is.

If she's making fun of me, trying to convincing me she's not short or not a bad cook, calling me 'Eli' I just need her, I need her here.

I want my angel back.

My head snaps up when I hear her voice, it was just a voicemail of hers but it still helped.

It still helped my breathing it still helped me calm down, I try and focus on her voice focus on what she's saying nothing else.

I don't focus on the people around me, just her voice, the phone thats playing her voice.

I don't stop listening to it until calm down, "you need to go home." Alastair says

"We'll take care of this tomorrow Elijah." He says making me slowly nod.

I didn't want to stop looking for her, I don't know what I'm going to do when I go home.

But all I know is that I'm not stopping until I find her I won't stop until I have her home again, until she's okay in my arms.

And whoever took her isn't going to like the outcome of what I'll do.

When I get home I instantly grab my computer looking for when she was taken.

The only footage of Evelyn was her walking into the cafe and walking out.

They removed whatever was left of the footage, although the last thing before the footage got cut off was someone grabbing her.

It wasn't Rowan since this one had two hands. For now. Other then that it's as if she was never taken.

I run my hands over my face and my eyes flicker to her side of the bed,she had two of her stuffed animals on the bed while the other was either on her vanity or the nightstand.

I sighed and tried going to bed, grabbing that damn stuffed animal she named "banana" and hugging it because it reminded me of her.

I wished and hoped it was a dream but when I woke up she still wasn't here.

And I knew right then I had to get those answers no matter what happens to me.

Y'all. I cried. I actually had a tear fall when writing his panic attack.

It was actually so sad to write, especially since he needed Evelyn and was outside the place that caused him and Evelyn a ton of pain.

And Claire's reaction also hurt☹️

Anyways next chapter will be in Evelyn's POV

I'm gonna say who's POV it's in until Elijah finds Evelyn.
