His Colossal Mistake #justwriteit

Chapter 22 Stolen

                  

"If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door."-Milton Berle

Chapter 22

It was on purpose.

My question is answered.

He was captured on purpose.

I close my eyes, feeling like a complete fool.

Of course his capture was on purpose; how else? He has to be the strongest man I've ever met.

I mean monster. The strongest monster.

He was caught on purpose. He was here to hurt me-

My mind stops rambling as I see the monsters entering our houses; human houses.

I run out of my apartment and downstairs. The door of the apartment building is locked, and I hesitate from running into the open as Sevastyan's warning pricks my mind.

My heart beat increases. The intruders haven't found me yet, and my building is unharmed. I am safer inside. I am not powerful enough to stop any of the monsters outside this building. I am a weak human.

With shaky hands I grip the door.

Sevastyan told me to stay. He knows these people--these monsters, and maybe it is safer to stay inside.

Why would I trust him though? He is obviously here to hurt me, and my family. My eyes widen as I think of my mother and father and I rip open the door. If I get captured, I am going to see my parents first.

The wind slams into my face and I stumble back as screams enter my ears. I push through and use the outside wall of my apartment building as a guide. It is dark and loud outside. The wind and the monsters' roars are all I hear.

I make it to the edge of my apartment and squeal as I turn the corner and run into a girl.

"Adrianna!" The girl gasps.

"Rebecca?" I squint at the girl, trying to make out her dark locks.

"Yeah, it's me. We are being attacked," she breaths heavily.

I want to thank her for stating the obvious, but I stay quiet as I survey our surroundings.

"Come on, follow me," I crouch down and run to my parent's home. They would know what to do. They always know what to do.

We stumble through the door and I slam it shut and lock it. Somehow we were lucky enough to not be seen.

I press my ear to the entrance and shush Rebecca. It is only a matter of time before they catch us; I push from the door and race to my father's office.

"Father?!" I yell. "Mom?" I try again, but there is no answer.

They are not here. I hear my labored breaths and I think. It is up to me to figure this out. I am an adult, and any minute they will take us; unless I get us out of here. Rebecca and I can either run or hide. I choose to hide, running is too risky with all the enemies outside of my parent's home, and we don't know where safety is.

My eyes land on my father's gun and I hesitate.

I grab Rebecca and run to the side of the staircase. The wall opens into a storage room and we both crawl in to hide. I used to hide here as a kid when babysitters came over. It blended into the wall and my father taught me to hide here if trouble ever came.

I pull my knees to my chest and focus on calming my racing heart. Tears fall from Rebecca's eyes.

I think back to my father's office, hoping it was the right decision to leave the gun. Guns are nasty and something I never want to associate myself with, but I also don't want to die. I am a city girl, and guns are way too dangerous for me. I am not prepared to become a monster by killing somebody either.

Rebecca's breath hitches as we hear the front door burst open.

Sevastyan is a part of their destruction. Sevastyan was here to hurt me, my family, and my loved ones. He lied to me. He is not my friend. He is the enemy.

Rebecca grabs my hand, and I clutch hers tightly.

We hold our breaths as they walk pass.

A moment later, the door to our hiding place is opened.

Sevastyan is the reason we had to hide from our enemies. Sevastyan is a monster that will never change. The strange monsters capture us. They drag us from the hole in the wall and we struggle. Unlike Sevastyan's grasp, tingles are not present as they grip me.

Sevastyan is my mistake, and he is going to get what is coming to him; whatever it is. My father will not stop; he will take his revenge. Taking his daughter will fuel our side's morale against the monsters.

Sevastyan's mistake was to defy me.

Authors note:
Thank you so much for the comments and votes.
This is the last chapter from her. Unless I decide otherwise. I may post another of her getting caught. But the next chapter gives you the back story from the prelude. It is short. But it is just to tie up what happened in the beginning and remind you of the new characters from Sevastyan's life.

This is basically it. I guess the next chapter is the ending to Sevastyan's prelude. I can not express my gratitude for everybody reading this. I am beyond grateful. Thank you for everything.
I want to write about her in Sevastyan's world now :)

Why did the cookie go to the doctor?
