Double it

Part Nine

You walk into the bar via the staff entrance, you had told Cassian you wanted to go home instead of seeing her but he practically dragged you back.

You want to huff and stomp your feet but Louisa was stood next to you now.
"I told you" she starts to tell him but he holds a hand up for her to stop talking.

"Hey!!" The voice of your sister over the music causes you to turn to where her and Tommy were stood at the bar.
You choose to stay this side of it, knowing you weren't actually a member of staff yet but you didn't want to be too near your sister.
You still had things to discuss from what Cassian said earlier.

"What are you guys doing here?" You ask her as Cassian stands at the end, he crosses his arms as if he was shutting himself out to everyone.

"What?" Your sister snaps as you roll your eyes, great she's in a mood!

"WE are here because you WERENT at Duncan's!" She says as you nod.
"We came to have a drink with you on your last night there but he said you had left already?" Tommy tried to calmly tell you.
"with... Cassian" your sister closes her eyes as she says his name, causing you to take a deep breath.
"Where were you just now? We had been at the bar already" she starts to nag again as you look over at Cassian, why did he drag you in here to listen this??

Your sister grabs you by the cheek, you were shocked for the few seconds it took her to pull the tee you still had on from work at the collar.

"What?? What are you fucking doing??" You slap her hand away from you.
Louisa raises her eyebrows and glances at Cassian but he keeps his eyes on you.
"Were you just with Cassian?" She says with gritted teeth as you narrow your eyes at her.

"Were you just checking for bite marks?" You ask her as your anger bubbles away.
"Well what do you expect??" She raises her voice now as Tommy is even taken a back.
"You've disappeared off with him. How am I supposed to know?"
"You're not!" You stop yourself from shouting back.
"You're not supposed to know anything?? You're not supposed to want to know? What the actual fuck? Why are you so obsessed..."

"I'm just trying to protect you" her voice breaks a little as Tommy holds her arm.
He knows your sister is mad but he also knows he's in the presence of his good friend so tries to hold her back.
"From what?!" You ask her confused.
She tries her best to stop the tears as you look at her for answers.
Just the dull thud of the music can be heard.

"...i am protected" you simply tell her as she shoots a look at Cassian now, understanding your words.
"...I don't mean like that" her voice trials off.
"Hmmm...what then?...Did Duncan tell you some asshole tried to feel me up? Earlier at the bar?" You bite back as she scrunches up her nose "Cassian stopped them, threw the piece of shit out"

"I'm sure you could have handled that yourself..." she tries to tell but you scoff.
"Did you also know I was almost attacked in the bars parking lot the other night?"
"What?? Attacked by who??" She searches your eyes as you cross your arms over your chest.
"Vamps..baby ones" you shrug.
"They tried it with me but Cassian was there to stop it" you tell her as she takes a gulp down.
"You were there?" She asks him as he nods.

He knows he's going against her wish of leaving you alone but it was out of his hands.

"So fucking tell me now..." you can't seem to grab a hold on your emotions as it all comes out.

Your sister doesn't look at you.

"Why you are so hell bent on not letting me leave Duncan's? Why you don't want me
to be working here?" You shrug your arms out to the bar.
"Why you don't want me to be around Cassian?" She looks up at you as you as you wait.
Internally arguing with herself. She needs to protect you, that was no lie, but what you think she's trying to protect you from and what the truth is to what she's trying to protect you from aren't the same.

You don't see the three Vampires stood around you exchange looks before Tommy whispers something to your sister.
"Na uh" she answers him but still looks at you.
"Not here, not now"

You feel a red mist desend over your eyes as you realise your sister is trying to wriggle her way out of your questions.

"Fuck this!!" You throw your hands up as you turn towards the staff door now.
Almost walking straight into Louisa who was stood right behind you, she moves swiftly out of your way as you shove the exit bar, she smirks slightly.
She warned Cassian of letting himself back into your life after you were made to forget it all.
He's always taken her advice on board, hell, its why they've gotten as successful as they have but for some reason when it came to you it was like he was a man possessed.

"Wait!! Where are you going??" Your sister sobs out to you but the door shuts with a heavy thud, blocking her voice out.
You storm over to your car, fumbling with your bag for your car keys.

As you reach your vehicle, you drop them in frustration, cursing up to the dark skies above you.
As you bend down to grab them off the tarmac, you see the boots of Cassian stood right in front of you.
You don't even want to look up at him.
Yes it was your sister who put you in a foul mood just now but he's had some part to play in it also.
"Where are you going?" He simply asks you as you shove your key inside the lock and pull the door open in huff.
You don't answer him, you don't know where you were going but you sure weren't going to stand within a mile of your sister right now.
As you go to slam the door shut behind you, Cassian grabs the frame, the metal clunks against his fist.
You look up at him as you stop yourself from telling him to get lost.
He tilts his head at you, sensing you wanted to say something.
"Well?" He pushes.
You almost start to shake in anger as the adrenaline pumps around your veins.
Your heart beat must sound deafening to the super sensitive hearing of the Vamp stood in front of you.

"Don't fucking push it" you say as you clench your jaw shut.
Cassian raises his eyebrows.
The move only angers you more.
"Let me leave, let me go" you were barely making any sense whilst your mind whirled.

"I can't do that" he tells you matter of factly.
You glare up at him, readying yourself to argue some more.
"You're mine" he tells you, leaning over to pull the keys out of the ignition as you take in his words.
"What??" You ask him, perhaps you misheard.
You let him pull you out of the car now, not like you could resist him anyhow but you were almost stunned in confusion.
"You are mine" he repeats himself as he closes the door, locks it and places the key in his own pocket.

You can't help but frown at the Vampire as he grabs you under the arm and walks you back to the bar.
