Chapter 43

Maylee's Pov

"I need someone over immediately!" I say into my phone, my hands shaking. "Ma'am what's wrong?" A lady says on the other end. "M-My boyfriend is standing outside my house." My voice is as shaky as the rest of me. Fear is keeping me from moving. "He is trying to break in and has blood all over him." I whisper.

"Ma'am can you tell me your name?"

"Maylee."

"Okay Maylee. Who is your boyfriend and why does he have blood on him?"

"D-Dianite. And I-I don't know!"

"Okay. People are on their way right now. Can you get in a room with a lock on the door?" The lady asks me. I finally start being able to move. "Yes. I will go to my bathroom." I lock all the doors around me, grab a knife from the kitchen, and head to the bathroom.

"Okay. I'm in the bat-" I stop mid sentence. I can hear Dianite getting in. "Ma'am are you still there?" "Y-Yes. He is inside now. I can hear him. Please have them hurry. I don't want him to hurt me or my future twins and I don't want to hurt him either. Please have help come quickly." I whisper so he doesn't hear me. "Help is on the way Maylee. I need you to stay on the phone with me until help arrives. Can you do that?" The lady says. "Yes." My voice is so low I can barely hear it, yet the lady seems to hear me just fine. "Okay."

My phone is in one hand while the knife and key to the doors is in the other. My breathing stops when I hear footsteps getting close to me. I clutch the knife in a death grip.

Just then, my phone dies. "No. No. No. No. No!" Now I really start to panic.

I hear footsteps, then a door rattle, then a door opening. "Crap. I forgot about the other key!" I whisper to myself. This repeats until the footsteps finally stop at my door. I have the lights off so Dianite should have no idea I'm in here. The door rattles and rattles and rattles.

I slowly, as quietly as possible, put my phone and the key in the sink. My breaths become short and quiet. The rattling finally stops. I can hear the door slowly start to open, the light switch coming on. "Leave me alone Dianite!" I scream and start attacking him. "Shit! Maylee stop! It's me, Mot!" I stop flinging my knife around. Mot is standing back, a terrified expression on his face. "Mot?"

"Yeah it's Mot." He says breathlessly. I can hear the sirens roaring so can Mot. "L-let me see that." Mot stutters to me. He takes the knife from my hands carefully. "What were you expecting to do with a kitchen knife?" Mot laughs slightly before disappearing down the stairs.

Mot's Pov

I put the knife Maylee attempted to attack me with back in its drawer. She needs to see Dec and get help. Cops burst into the house all of them look confused when they see me. "The situation has been taken care of. She's fine, I'm fine, everything is ok." I say before a very pissed off Andor walks in.

Maylee walks in just in time. "Andor I-" She gets interrupted, "Mot we need to talk." Andor says rather harshly. He may be a king now but his dad would've smacked him upside the head if he used that tone on me. I walk outside with Andor as cops start asking Maylee questions.

"You just think you're some big hero now don't you!" Andor shouts and anger fills me entirely. This is about when Jordan came over yesterday night. "Who do you think you are to talk to me like that!" I shout back. "Who do I think I am?" Andor laughs. "Well Mot I-"

"Think of how your mom would feel right now. Think about your sister and Helgrind! Think about that little girl who would've gave her life up if it meant your safety! Think about Justice who suffered for you! How would they feel right now?! You forgot all of them and you know I'm right." I see tears run down Andor's cheeks. I hit close to home.

"You stay out of Jordan and my's life! I will not hesitate to kill you." I nod, "I'll keep than in mind next time he runs to me for comfort."

"Mot I think you're needed inside." Jericho I think he was says. As I get closer to the house again I start to hear Maylee's sobs. The second I step inside she's in my arms. My vision starts to blur and the walls turn a blood red. I look over and the words, keep her safe, are carved into the walls. The world seems to be moving in slow motion, what is this! I glance around looking for any sign of what's going on. Have I been- I love you, boyo.

"Mot?! Hello!" I hear Jericho shout, snapping me out of the trance. "What I'm sorry?" I reply. "He's helpless Tucker. Maylee was just hallucinating as worried, single parents, always do." Andor says his tone is still harsh. "But Andor she's not a single-" Tucker gets cut off, "She's a single parent! Now lets go."

The cops/solders leave our house not a single one looking back. They're just as heartless as Helgrind's army was. "They t-think I'm c-crazy." Maylee sobs. I want to answer but I just can't. That had to be real. Dia talked to me, but that's impossible! "Mot you're crying." Maylee says pulling away from me.

I sit on the couch and sob. Maylee sits next to me then rests her head on my shoulder. "I don't know why terrible things happen to us but I have to believe something good is gonna come out of it." She says quietly. I continue to cry, I can't stop. All I wanted to know, all I cared about, for the past few months was to know he was ok. "Hey Mot." Maylee says with a sad smile. Once she knows I'm paying attention she continues, "We're gonna be ok." I smile and wrap my arms around her.

I feel her jump slightly before pulling away. Maylee moves my hand to a certain spot on her stomach and I feel a pretty powerful kick. I smile back at her as she wipes my tears.
