Clockwork

Chapter 3

Opening the front door to the apartment the smell of roses immediately hits my nose. An uncanny feeling feels my stomach as I hear gasps rising from the living space. When I look up from the ground I see Eli's legs wrapped around James body her fingers tangled in his blond curls. A light shade of pink fills his cheeks then fades away darkly. "I thought you said she wasn't going to back for a while." She says jumping off him. "Yah i thought." A little smile comes to his lips but it doesn't meet his eyes. He takes a step towards me. "Back from your walk?" He say running his hand through his hair. "Yes." I say my voice a little weak, yet I try to sound strong. I can see darkness flash through his eyes and his rage starting to surface. My heart begins to pound and my feet begin to stride backwards and a vase from behind me wobbles. James minces foward taking two giant steps. He grabs my wounded arm and crushes it between his hand, and the shards of glass rip into my skin. Crippling me slowly. "A walk really? But you come back with a bloody arm. My, don't I have a story to tell Duke."
"Blackmail really I didn't think you could stoop so low!" He squeezes my arm harder. "Don't you dare me!" I laugh at him his face twist in disgust and his grip tightens around my arm. He lets go and I jolt back. I quickly run up the stairs and unto my room. Sighing I fall to the ground. "Well that was quite the seen wasn't it." I roll my eyes and get up my sight begins to get fuzzed and I fumble but reach the bed. "So are you going to tell me the secret?" "What secret?" She rolls her eyes and grabs my arm, jerking me up. I scream in pain. "So?" "It's none of your business." I hiss. She nods her head and goes to the bathroom. What next a gun to my head. Today I witnessed the worst, and still haven't mourned the I've seen. My heat aches as I see Cis fall to the pile of dead people. Friends and enemy's . Alex walks back in wo the a bag and tosses it on the bed next to me. "Let me see your arm." I wince as I slowly glide my arm over to her. "Here drink this." I take a gulp snd my the liuid burns my throwt, but slowly define to ease my body . stars start to appear and I bite into my tongue as she  digs through my arm for the  bullet. It feels as if I'm being burned. The flames slowly biting into my skin I bite into my the side of my cheek and the metallic flavor of blood fills my mouth. "You're lucky it was all in one piece" She drops the bullet into my lap. I stare at the thing that added more pain to my life today. My eyes start to ache  as tears threaten to spill. "You can tell me we all have secrets you know." I shake my head no and she sighs. A few minutes later she has  sewed up the wound. "It's  not good to keep your feelings in you've for to let then out." "I'm fine, ok!" "Ok." She says.
