In This Darkness

Traitor

(Loris pov)

I entered the club slowly, the music was too loud and I had the feeling that it was echoing in my lungs and like it was bouncing off my chest, while my ears were blocked by this loud melody. A Britney Spears song was playing in the club.I walked through the club, it was very nice and quite big. There weren't many people in the club, but there was still quite a good number of guests.I pushed past people and went to the corner of the club where Vanessa was waiting for me with her friend.I finally saw Vanessa. She played in the place, with her blonde friend, while holding a cocktail glass in her hand.Vanessa and her blonde friend were singing a song and smiling at each other and Vanessa looked very happy and I was very happy to see her like that.

I called out "Vanessa!" and she immediately turned to me. She smiled and shouted "Lori, you're finally here!" She left her glass on the table and ran into my arms. She looked beautiful and her curls looked great on her.She came to hug me and we were in a hug, while she patted my back and asked me "How are you dear?"I pulled away from the hug, placing my hands on hers and answering her "It's great to see you."She bowed her head and replied, "Ah thank you sweetie." with her warm smile.She turned and looked at her blonde friend and then looked back at me and said "Come meet Claudia." I nodded and said "Come on." I liked meeting people and Claudia looked nice and good.Vanessa was holding my hand as she led me to her friend, the two of them were sitting in a corner and her friend was sitting now.Claudia got up from her seat when Vanessa and I approached her and gave me her hand. "I'm Claudia." she said with a sweet smile on her face and she looked very beautiful. "I'm Lori, I'm glad we're going to hang out tonight."She smiled at me as she held my hand and patted my shoulder as she said "I'm glad too Lori."The three of us sat down on chairs and talked. I got to know Claudia much better and she seemed cultured. She was a sarcastic and funny person, she told me about her life, and I still wasn't ready to talk about mine.

A song by Emin was played and I, as his big fan, immediately got up from my chair and sang. "Let's go there, closer to the people and DJ."I said as I stood on my feet and looked at Vanessa and Claudia, I was in such a good mood now that I heard Eminem's song, because his songs have the best energy.Vanessa grabbed her drink, grabbed Claudia's hand and said "Let's go girls." We ran there closer to the DJ and the people and sat at the bar next to the DJ and downed our drinks and continued to dance and sing the song.The energy was indescribably good, I drank one glass of whiskey and two cocktails. Every song hit me and I didn't have time to sit down. There were people around me and I exchanged a few words with each of them.I talked to many people, had drinks with them, and in this club people are such a law, it's as if I've known them for a long time, and not as if I'm seeing them for the first time now.A guy called Steven, he's gay, and his friend Tina, we sat at the bar and ordered a drink and it was a little break for me. The two of them were such a law and ridiculous. "Come on bitches, just swallow it," Steven said jokingly.He as  tipped some brandy.Tina looked at me and smiled as she said "Come on Lori, lean." I smiled at her and leaned in. I made a sour face as I swallowed the brandy and Steven giggled. I enjoyed their company, I looked at Vanessa and Claudia, they also had a good time, while still dancing and singing.

While we were dancing, I looked at Vanessa, she was singing, she didn't even notice me staring at her. She's beautiful, she has the most beautiful soul. I wish I could protect her, but I know I won't succeed, if I try we'll both die.Neither she nor Tokio Hotel know what is in store for them, that some idiot named Mark wants to destroy them all. I wish I could save them, but I know that then I will lose my head on my shoulders.I always did everything as my boss told me, I always killed people in cold blood and destroyed their lives, but now I feel different. I didn't even think that I would fall in love with Vanessa, but I fucking did, and now I have to destroy her and take her to Mark on the eyes.I can't prevent her fate, I have to respect Mark, if he wasn't there I wouldn't be there either.

I grabbed Vanessa's hand and then said in her ear, "We are going to the club room to rest my head, it hurts a lot, so we will come back here."She smiled warmly and nodded, and that broke my heart, because she is so cheerful and too good, and in a few minutes her happiness will be prevented."Just to tell Lori, that we are in one of the rooms in the club, and we will come back."Vanessa said I nodded, while she turned to Lori to tell her, and during that time I took the phone and sent a message to Miguel, sign to be ready in the room where we agreed that I would bring Vanessa.Vanessa appeared in front of me again and said "Well let's go."

She nodded and took my hand leading past the people and leading me to the room. This was a big club, so it had its own small rooms where the guests could rest.I was so happy because I have the opportunity to be alone with her. Her cheerfulness attracted me so much and she was the most beautiful girl in the club.She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.Those small rooms were at the end of the club. She led us right into the back room and we went inside.The room was small, but very nicely arranged and very tidy.A few meters from the door was a large couch, there were also armchairs and it had a tiny bathroom.Claudia let go of my hand and then immediately sat down on the couch and rested her head on the couch.I left my purse on one of the armchairs, then slowly approached and sat on the couch next to Claudia. I threw my head on the couch and leaned back, looking at the ceiling.I didn't look at Claudia, but I noticed how she raised her head from the couch and slowly twisted her body towards mine. I looked at her, and she put her hand on my thigh, while looking at my lips.I lifted my head slightly from the couch, looking at her rosy, beautiful lips, while her eyes glazed over. I turned to her, while she still held her hand on my thigh, and she put the other on my arm, and I approached her lips, put my hand on her collarbone and the other on her cheek and soon our lips met.I closed my eyes, not thinking about Bill, I just leaving my mark on her.I started slowly moving my fingers down her collarbone and down her chest. I didn't open my eyes, I just wanted to relax with her and not think about anything else, I wanted this to last forever.

However, while we were kissing, I suddenly felt the sting of a sharp object in my stomach. I also felt someone's small tear drop on my cheek. I opened my eyes and saw Claudia still in front of me, tears running down her cheek and traces of blood on her hand.I still felt a sharp object inside me, the pain was indescribable. I slowly turned my gaze to my stomach and I saw Claudia's hand, inserting a knife into my stomach, while my flesh was tearing.A tear fell on her hand, and then I looked at her again. It was as if I couldn't speak, this was all a trick and a scam. I felt terrible, I was ready to leave Bill for this bitch who now fucking wants to kill me .Tears were falling down her cheeks, and I looked at her with hatred, and I felt miserable and betrayed.Now I want to scream and cry, but I don't have the strength. I just want to run away and disappear now. I looked into her crying brown eyes, and my heart was breaking into pieces."I'm sorry Vanessa, it's my duty." she said painfully, while her tears were flowing. I couldn't look at her anymore, she broke my heart, I trusted her, I would never have thought that she would do this to me. She obviously does for someone.  

I didn't say anything to her, but I painfully and with difficulty started to get up from the couch, I wanted to run away, but someone came behind me and hit me on the head with a strong object. I fell to the floor and hit my head on the floor once more. I only heard at the end how Claudia cried and made soft painful sounds as she got up from the couch, and some unknown accent said something to her, and then I closed my eyes and passed out.
