The Thirteenth ✔

Part 4

"I'm sorry about last night." Her eyes looked at my hand still gripping her wrist. "I didn't mean any harm." Her voice wavered like she's about to cry.
"Not last night. Today!" I huffed.
I saw fear and confusion in her eyes as she tried to free her arm. "Today?" She squeaks, glancing at Larry then back to me."I left early this morning and have been trying to get you a room like I said."
Larry pried loose my grip on her arm,
"Bro, we have a room waiting down the street."
"I arrived a few minutes ago, your brother... I'm sorry." She dropped her head and a whimper escaped her before she could turn away. She stumbled backwards a few steps then ran from the room.
"No she come in here and-" I start pleading my case but Larry shook his head no.
"I see her walk in, then tell me about the hotel room. I tell her come tell you. I walk her back here myself."
"But she was..." I interjected.
Larry looked concerned and my confusion. 
"I should say sorry." I looked towards the door.
"Is okay Lau. What you need for feel better?" Larry softly touches my shoulder. I ran from the room towards the front doors but couldn't see her. The guys at information desk didn't see where she went either. I  walked back towards the room and saw a woman with long black hair and a black dress turn the corner. When I reached the corner she had disappeared. I couldn't catch my breath I felt like I was under water again.
"Lau. Lau. Lau!" Larry yelled in my  ear.
"What?!" I snapped holding my head.
"Calm down, I'm here." He holds my hand. "Get some more sleep. It's hard to see you like this."

I turned towards Larry to tell him off then caught a glimpse of long black hair walking into the workshop. I pushed past him and searched but didn't see her.
"Lau?!" Larry grabs his hand. "What's wrong? You scare me. Talk to me." He whispers and strokes his thumb across my hand. I shook my hand but Larry didn't let go.
I grabbed my bag and thought about it over and over until I figured out what she did. She probably wore the black dress over her other and stuffed it in her purse and walked differently so her shoes sounded different. Her hair could have been a wig also in her purse.

"She is playing games with me. I am going to make her pay." I declared as I walked up to the suite.

I quickly fell asleep then jolted awake again looking for Larry but there was a weight on my chest holding me down; making it almost impossible to breathe. Looking down at the black mess of hair on his chest I quickly pushed her off as she blew a kiss at me before falling to the floor. I jumped up looking for her, but she was gone. I searched the room for her. Under the bed, around the bed, the closet and the bathroom but she wasn't there. Larry watched me from the doorway for a few minutes then asked the obvious question when I sunk on the bed again.

"What you lose?" Larry leaned a cup of water to his lips.
"My mind", I sighed then jumped when I looked at the time. "Why you no come before? I miss my class now!" I yelled at him.
"No, class was cancelled. The building lose power." Larry said softly touching my shoulder and trying to sooth me by rubbing my neck. I closed my eyes and leaned back

"Laurent," Larry's pleading voice showing signs of strain and stress. "Please talk to me, tell me are you warm enough? Are you hungry?"
"I'm fine! Stop mothering me." 
Larry pulled my hair leaning our foreheads together. I leaned away. "I need to say sorry to Yvette, remember?" I huffed out slowly.

Larry looked confused but slowly nodded closing his eyes as tears rolled down his cheek.

Ali looked worried when she opened the door but stepped back to let us in. Mark and David were standing close by, I didn't see Yvette anywhere.

"I wanted to talk to Yvette, is she here?" I asked stepping forward. Mark and David mirrored his movements blocking my path. I didn't notice before but Mark had a wide upper body. He looked like he could easily bench press both my brother and I.

"Why do you want to talk to her?" Mark asked menacingly.
"You want to scare her some more?" David added with an equally threatening look.
"I want to say sorry." I answered honestly.

"He hasn't been thinking right." Larry said looking away from me to someone. Larry’s face was sullen and dirty, his eyes were red from crying.
I tried to turn to look at my brother when Yvette walked around her son and brother towards me. Her brother started to stand in between us protecting her from me uncertain of my possible reaction. David scowled looking like he was ready to throw me out. I smirked and leaned forward. Yvette held her hand up to stop me as she stepped backwards. David quickly stepped forward pushing my brother and me back towards the door before Mark pushed her behind him.

"It's okay, David. Mark take your sister and help Ethan and Ava." Yvette stood across the room from me. "P-please relax. Can I get you something to drink? S-something to eat?" She offered politely.

I walked over to her and she backed up with her hands up. "Please don't." Her voice was barely more than a whisper, her hands trembled and she had fear in her eyes.

"What game you playing?" I asked in a low voice. She looked around then moved towards the knives but was cut off.
"Lau what are you doing?" Larry interrupted. I looked away from her and she ran behind Larry.
"It's okay, don't- don't worry about apologizing. I'm okay. Really." Her words rushed out. I walked towards her as she ran from the room. I followed her into her room closing and locking the door behind me.
"Lau!" Larry yelled from outside the door.
"It's okay Larry! Tell him!" I ordered Yvette.
"I- I'm okay." She stuttered looking around her room for a weapon as she moved away from me. She ran towards the closet but I caught her and covered her mouth.
"You were in my hotel room earlier and you attacked me after my workshop. Now you are trying to make me seem crazy. Why?" I threw her on her bed then pinned her hands above her head. She looked terrified.
"I wasn't in your -" She started.
"No lie to me!" I leaned my body weight on her but she pushed me with her foot roughly knocking me off the bed.
'I was there. You called me and I came to you.' He heard her but she wasn't talking her eyes were glued on a figure behind me. I turned around at the straight haired mirror of Yvette and moved away from her now laughing form. She was seated on the dresser then stood up and walked closer. I heard Yvette whimper and then she was silent.

"I thought you wanted her, but you keep pushing her away even after you had her or should I say me. Now what? Because honestly," Kate sat on the bed. I looked around and all traces of Yvette were gone. "I'm tired of guessing."
"Lau!" Larry called again.
"It's fine Larry, really, give us a minute." Kate yelled in Yvette's voice then smiled at me. The hungry look returned to her eyes. Now she was stalking me. She licked her lips and managed to tie me up in my shirt. I struggled to free my arms as she removed my pants and pushed me on the bed. I felt pain shoot through my right leg again and hissed.

"I can make sure you never feel pain again. Just say the words. You are tired of being in pain."
"I, I-" I wanted to say it because it was true. I was tired of being in pain.
"Lau! No no non non Lau! Reviens! (Come back!)" Larry was screaming. "Aidez-moi!!(Help me) Someone HELP!! Lau! Please!" Larry sounds hysterical. I moved towards my brother but Kate pulled me back.
"Tell me you want me and I can make you last breaths happy ones." She kissed me deeply. Her lips were hot and her grip was strong. "Tell me what you want? To pound me mercilessly? To make me scream your name?" She traced her fingers down to the bulge developing in my pants. "To call you Papa?" She palmed my growing member as she pulled my neck and crashed her lips to mine.
"LAU! NOOOOOO!!" Larry was crying.  "Lau, no leave me alone," He pleaded, "I no do this without you, please." He sobbed into my chest.
