Destiny

Chapter 8

I feel the strong arms lean me on a soft padding and I carefully open my eyes to see that I am in my room. My vision is blurry but it starts to get clearer. I see everything was how I left it but at the closed door I see the same hooded stranger, staring intently at me blue eyes filled with concern and worry. I leap out of bed and grab my baseball bat that was lying at the side of my bed. "How did you get in here? How do you know where I live?" I say waving my baseball bat like a crazy person. The hooded stranger  just pushed off the door and came near me, holding his hands up in surrender. "Do you really not remember me Alexia?" his voice husky and calm. "I don't know what you are talking about but I don't know you. Thank you for taking me back to my house, even though I don't know how you know where I live. But I think you can go now," my baseball bat is still in front of me. "Calm down Alexia it's me, please remember," his voice smooth. "I-I'm sorry, but I don't know you just please get out of my house," my voice cracks. He steps forward and pulls  off his hood to reveal a sight. The stranger had alabaster white skin and a face with sharp angles. He had white blond hair that was paler than his skin. And his eyes, they were like ice, sharp and observant. He was more than drop dead gorgeous. I stared at him with my eyes almost coming out of my head and my mouth agape. He smirked, "Well, if you are done undressing me with your eyes, I would like to introduce myself,again," he added bitterly in an undertone. "Caelan Bane, at your service, your royal highness," he did a mock bow. "Why is everyone referring to me as a royal now ?" I ask confused. I must have said that aloud because Caelan's eyes flashed. "What have they done to you Alexia?" he asked grabbing me by my shoulders and shaking me. "My name's not Alexia, it's Alexandria," I say trying to prise his hands from my shoulders. "Let go of her you bastard!" came a voice from the doorway. I had forgotten that my sister and Zayn were still here. Cass was holding up a large butcher knife, "Let go of the princess and I will consider not harming you, Caelan," her voice low and dangerous. Am I the only one here who does not know what is going on? Zayn stepped through the door and all hell crashed down. Calaen lunged at Zayn with so much forced that it knocked Zayn off  his feet. It was all too fast shelves went flying , books came crashing down and pictures on my walls shattered. When everything stooped shaking, I saw Calaen holding Zayn by his throat and pushing him against the wall. "What did you do to Alexia," he snarled. I couldn't believe that this was the calm gentle person before. Zayn clawed at the hands on his throat, leaving angry red marks. I ran to Zayn, "Let go of my best friend!" I exclaimed trying to get Calaen off Zayn. If he didn't stop choking him he was going to die. "Please let go! You're killing him!" I scream. That must have made Calaen's mind start working again. He dropped Zayn and crossed the room to Cass. Zayn slumped against the wall, I ran to him. "Zayn are you alright?" I ask sobbing loudly. He laughs quietly. "Is this all some kind of cruel joke?" I snap. But then my face softens and I hug Zayn's neck tightly, he wrapped his hands around my waist and hugged me deeply. I heard a faint growl and my head snapped up. "Oh shut up, you almost killed my best friend. I don't even know what's got your ass in a twist," I was not in the mood for some stranger. "Wait, why are you still here?" I mean seriously there is a random stranger in my room who almost killed my best friend, refers to me as 'Alexia' and my sister knows him. Could this get any weirder? Cass spoke up, "Alex, there is something we need to tell you," her face was solemn.
