Chapter 16

Alexandra

I was about to go to bed when someone knocked on my door. I was really tired and I couldn't wait to lie in bed. "Who is it?" I ask, maybe I can just ignore them if it's not something important.

"It's Damon. I'm sorry I wanted to talk to you if it's alright."

I don't know when they're going to leave. I really don't like having Xavier here. Tyler doesn't like me either, I don't understand Jeremy but at least it's Damon. I don't know about him yet. I don't know what to think.

"Can I come in." He pushed the door open and smiled at me. "Hey." I gave him a small wave and cringed mentally. He must think I'm such a child now.

He closed the door and leaned against it. "You were going to sleep?" His eyes darted to my bed. I nodded my head.

"What do you want?" He doesn't answer for a while and we're left in silence while our eyes are staring at each other.

"I was wondering how my cousins treat you." His voice was laced with curiosity as he crossed his arms against his chest, ready to listen to me. I didn't know what to tell him. He was still a stranger and I didn't feel comfortable talking to him about something like this.

"Good. They've been good except for twins. They're just.... Them." I say, not able to find the correct word to describe them. In the process of me talking, Damon's hand went to the handle. I didn't understand what he was doing as he was covering it.

I looked at the bed beside me, hoping it'd send a message to him that I want to sleep and he should leave.

"I heard Tyler and the twins talking about you." He spoke slowly and in a low tone as he started walking towards me.

"Really?" It's not news that Caleb and Jonathan hate my existence so I know what they must have told Tyler and Damon's next word was exactly what I was expecting.

"They said no one wants you here. They even agreed to Xavier when he asked to take you with us."

My eyes widen at that. Xavier asked what? And the twins agreed? What if Damien agrees too and Xavier becomes my guardian. No. I can't let that happen. Damon must have seen the panicked expression on my face.

"Don't worry. We'll take good care of you." He smiled and reached out to touch me, but I pushed him away and started walking towards the door.

Damon's hands got wrapped around me in an instance, his lips lingering on my ears as be whispered, "Where do you think you're going?"

"To talk to Damien." I tried to free myself but he was much stronger than me.

He chuckled and the sound of it made a shiver run down my spine.

"He doesn't care sweetheart." He turned and threw me on the bed. I groaned, even if the mattress was soft it still doesn't feel nice to be thrown on the bed.

But that was the least of my worries as Damon did something completely unexpected. He climbed on top of me.

"What are you doing?" My voice came out weak and broken just like how I was feeling at the moment.

Damon noticed and smirked. "I promised to take good care of you and I'm a man who keeps promises sweetheart." He grabbed my arms and placed them on the bed, next to my head, I tried to struggle but it was of no use. I was nothing compared to his strength.

"Stop it or-" I was about to say - scream but I realized if I said that, he'd just cover my mouth.

"Or what?" He raised his eyebrow at me,  as he got comfortable on top of me, his one hand held both of my wrists on top of my head and his second one was now tracing my face.

And I screamed.

I didn't have time to think about what would happen afterwards. If anyone would believe me or not. I just screamed at the top of my lungs.

Damon's expression changed. If seconds earlier he was amused by my reaction now he was the one panicking.

"You little." He didn't finish, he immediately let go of my arms and got up from the bed. "Alexandra?" That was Warren outside. He's here.

Damon grabbed my chin harshly and made me look at him, "You tell them anything and I swear once you come with us, I'll make you regret it. They won't believe you anyways."

His words and everything that occurred before made tears well up in my eyes. Damon hid himself in my closet as the door opened and Warren and Damien rushed inside.

Damien instantly ran to me and tried to hug me. At first I flinched because of how Damon touched me but then I realized it's just Damien. He won't do that. He's not like Damon.

But why would he agree to Xavier then? Just the thought of living with Xavier and his sons where Damon would touch me inappropriately made me start sobbing.

My grandparents punished me a lot and even Paris was abusive but not sexually. No one's ever touched me like that and I couldn't let Damon do that to me. I could tell my brothers but what if they didn't believe me? So I decided tomorrow I'll go to Ellie. She will believe me, she has to.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when Warren pulled open my closet and Damon appeared with a terrified expression on his face.
