Only Vampires Could Kidnap A Highly Trained Assassin

Chapter 14

I have been lying there awake for who knows how many hours now. Every time I closed my eyes to go to sleep I could see Mike’s scared and bloody face just staring at me.

“Mary are you awake?” Kaleb asked. I noticed that he too was not sleeping.

“Yes,” I answered in a small voice.

“I wanted to ask you want you meant by you probably shouldn’t be left alone?” He asked turning me so that I was facing him.

“You mean you have never noticed them?”

“Noticed what?” He asked looking slightly confused. I pulled away from him and showed him my wrists. On each wrist there were four or five cuts going across them.

“What the hell are these from,” He said grabbing my wrists and looking at them more closely.

“There is one for every time I failed or lost an innocent,” I said looking at them and remembering exactly why I had each and every one of them.

“Why did you do this to yourself?” He said getting a little worked up.

“I don’t really know why I do it. I just get this thought in my head that because they got hurt then I should get hurt too. It’s just how my brain processes things. But this one,’ I said pointing to the last one, the biggest one, “Well I almost died from that one. I was a really bad time and I just had to get rid of this feeling and the deeper that I went the better I felt and the next thing I know I woke up in a hospital room.”

“I don’t want you to think that anything is ever your fault. You can’t control everything and you shouldn’t punish yourself for things that are out of your hands.”

“I know, I don’t want to do it either, that is why I need you to stay around me for the next couple of days, Or until you notice that my moods are picking up a little bit. If I am left alone for too long I will do it again. It is just who I am.”

He didn’t say anything to that he just held me closer to him. I didn’t sleep that night though I just laid in Kaleb’s arms and thought about every one of my scars and why I had them. That was a really bad idea because it just depressed me even more.

I crawled out of bed before Kaleb woke up, I went into the bathroom and had a long and very hot shower. As the shower was on I broke down and began to cry. The only time I cry is in the shower because it hides all evidence that I had been crying.

“Mary are you okay in there?” Kaleb asked frantically through the bathroom door.

“Yeah Kaleb I am fine I will be out in a minute,” I shut off the shower and wrapped a towel around me and went to put on some cloths for training.

Kaleb tried to talk me out of going to training, but it was exactly what I needed to take my mind off of things. I was defiantly having issues today because Kaleb was beating my ass to a pulp.

“That’s enough we are done here. Don’t think I don’t know what you are doing,” He said pulling my up off of the ground after he hit me again.

“What do you mean I am just training,” I said keeping a monotone voice.

“No, I won’t let you hurt yourself so you are getting me to hurt you for you. Or something along those lines,” He said.

“I don’t know what you are talking about, sure I am not doing my greatest but we are all aloud are bad days. I am sorry that I can’t be perfect all the time.”

“You are aloud your bad days but I am not going to stand here and hurt you when I know what you are feeling, when I know that you just want to get hurt to make up for what happened,” He said while putting his and my sword back.

“Your right I am sorry, but you know what cheer me up, is if we have that dinner that we were going to have last night, especially if you cook it.’ I said trying to cheer up a little bit.

“Yeah, meet me in the dining room around six and I will have one prepared for you,” He said giving me a kiss on the forehead then turned to leave.

I was walking down the hall when I was met with a high pitched girlish giggly scream thing. I don’t even know what to call it. I went running down the hall and saw Prudence running away from Theodore.

“Theodore may I ask you what you are doing to your sister?” I asked crossing my arms as Prudence was hiding behind me.

“Oh I was torturing her through tickling, she was bored and decided that she was going to bug me,” I said straightening his cloths.

“Yeah he is a mean big brother,” She said poking her head out from behind my back.

“Yeah well you are not the sweetest little sister out there either,” He said back to her.

“Yeah but she is the little sister, she is supposed to be annoying she is in fact the little sister. You are supposed to be the responsible older brother that just puts up with it,” I said back to him.

“Well, I am responsible but I was also going for the fun older brother and we all know that I pull that one off very well.”

Theodore finally left and I was sitting in a chair with prudence just talking. It made me realize that I wanted a little sister.

“What are you thinking about?” Prudence asked after I dazed off for the like eighth time.

“Well, at that exact second I was thinking that I wish I had a little sister,” I said smiling at her.

“I think that you would have made an amazing older sister,” She said.

“Oh crap I have to go and get ready for my dinner,” I said standing up.

“You really like Kaleb don’t you?” I nodded me head and she just kept on talking, “I have never seen him like this before, I mean sure he has had lots of girls here, and I mean lots. Every time we come its like there are five more girls, but with you he is truly happy and he hasn’t let anyone in since his mother was killed, he just had flings after flings after flings...”

“Okay I get it but I really have to go. It was nice hanging out with you today” I walked away and got dressed for my dinner with Kaleb.
