The Mission

Twenty Three

Jane POV

I heard a scream. A blood curdling scream. It was Izzy. Within second I was upstairs with her. She was in the bathroom.

"Izzy?" I said walking over to her. 

She showed fear. Pure fear. 

She was scared?

Was she scared of me?

"Izzy, I'm not going to hurt you," I said walking over slowly, I spoke that sentence slowly as well. My hands were in front of me

"Stop!" she said quickly. 

She was scared of me. 

Scared... of me. 

Me. 

"Okay... okay," I said and sat on the floor not moving any closer. "I won't hurt you. I would never hurt you," I said my hand still in front of me. 

"You wouldn't do it. You wouldn't do that to me?"

"Izzy, do what?" I asked. 

She didn't respond to me all she did was rub her wrist roughly. Izzy brought her knees to her chest and placed her head in-between her knees, curling up small. 

She was terrified. 

What happened?

What did I do?

"Izzy, whatever happened, it was just a dream."

She looked at me, completely panicked. "You wouldn't do that to me? Right?"

"What did I do?" I asked slowly. I carefully crawled over to her. "What did I do?" I asked again. 

She moved back when I attempted to crawl over.

"Izzy, I would never hurt you. It was a dream, it wasn't real."

"It felt real," she looked up at me. "You wouldn't do it?"

I tilted my head. It was a nightmare. About me. "What did I do to you in your dream?" I asked. I don't know if I want to know the answer, but I needed to know. I need to know how to make this situation better. 

Tears formed in her eyes, her breath shaky breaths, "You...you...you..." She showed complete fear towards me. 

No.

I don't want this. 

I sat there not speaking waiting for her to tell me. I did not make any move to get closer. 

"You had me on a chain. You said you never loved me, and you never did. You said I was nothing to you and I would never be anything to you," she breathed heavily. She winced her eyes closed. "You hit me when I tried to get away. You wanted to put me in a cage. You... You," she rubbed her wrists again. "You branded me."

"God damnit Demetri!!!" I growled under my breath.

There was cursing from downstairs. It was Demetri. I am going to have a little word with him after. 

My focus was now all on Izzy. I moved closer to her, but she moved away. 

"Izzy, look at me, I would never do that to you. Please believe me that I wouldn't do that," I said. 

She looked at me. 

I hated the look of fear on her face. 

"But you did." she paused. "I felt it, it was so real."
