MAYA 2 - A Hidden KEY-

Chapter 26

Lev's pov

 
Ten laps. Twenty. Thirty.
My lungs were on fire and my body hung lifeless in water. My arms made small waves ripple over my neckline until my collarbones felt frozen over. A burning sensation rested behind me. I turned and sighed. The skyline outside had clotted with orange. Lit up Buildings bled away into a sea of dark shadows on the Eastern horizon. From the pool, It could only from described as beautiful, and yet I couldn't enjoy any of it. Sure the girls were now safe and sound. Half the war had been won. But the battle cry of screams and shouts from hours ago still rang through my ears, and I wasn't sure if it would easily go away.
"Lev!"
I looked up, only to find my cousin kneeling down, her long black hair lapping up water, the pool sucked her in like fish off the bone. Her eyes swam towards me faster then her arms did.
"We need to talk about-"
"No."
Suddenly Jonah was by my side. Her nails drummed my neckline irritatingly. Her eyes on my throat.
"Look, Maya and Donna are at your place now, here, in the guest rooms, they're safe from their Dad, and he doesn't know where they are!" Jonahs hands splashed up and down like a guppy.
"I don't get why you're still in a funk! They're gonna be okay!"
I turned round.
"Donna grabbed her father's arms and begged him not to touch Maya. I was prepared to sucker punch him in the face. But it was Ayato who suprised me the most."
The water lost its ripples. The waves in the pool returned to form. Jonah didn't respond. She didn't have to.
"He pulled out that Vial and stabbed it into ur father in laws neck, I know...that was wild...benefits of owning a medical buisness I guess."
"No, it's not that simple jonah." I snapped.
"When he stabbed the syringe into kai's neck, we caught Maya by a landslide, we ran and there are cameras everywhere on that estate...when he wakes up, hes coming for them ."
Jonah shivered. "I knew you should of dropped then at a hotel."
"And do what? Maya was knocked out cold, Donnas her baby sister, shes family I never would of left them in such a vulnerable condition-"
"WHAT ABOUT YOUR OWN FAMILY! HUH? " Jonah snapped, flicking my forehead.
"Think with your head! What happens when her dad comes for your dad? He's not just coming for them, he's coming for us!"
Jonahs feet backpedalled into the shallow end. "And I hope you'll know what to do when that happens."

The chandelier above the poolroom began to shake, disagreeing with her words. I could only hope that she was wrong...
