Twenty Four

Arabella

The next morning Grayson woke me up earlier than usual.
He helped me fold up my wedding dress that I threw in a corner in the hope of forgetting about it when we had first arrived.

I placed it in the trunk and shut the door. I sat in the shotgun seat next to Grayson as he drove back to the base.

We hadn't spoken to each other since the other night when I came home with the tests.

I didn't know if I was happy about having this baby or scared out of my fucking mind, and quite frankly Grayson wasn't being much of a help with his unreadable expressions, pale complexion and complete silence.

The last thing he said to me was 'yea' and that was about 14 hours ago.

The car was dead silent, the hum of the engine and the ruckus of an occasional bump in the road were the only sounds playing throughout the car.

Grayson found the mailbox.
The mailbox was a sign to indicate the beginning of the platform.
He opened the mailbox revealing a touch pad. He inserted the code and got back into the car.

Grayson drove onto the hidden platform causing the platform to rotate downwards.

The woman from when we first arrived was waiting at the bottom of the base.

Her hair was done up in a perfectly gelled back pony tail. Her hair was red and landed just between her shoulder blades.

"Scan please" she said as soon as we opened our doors.

I placed my thumb on the screen and a 3D image of me was projected above the screen.

"Arabella Mackenzie Holtz, Grayson Bailey Dolan" she said as she analyzed our faces
"I have been instructed to hand you over to Mr. Dolan as soon as you returned to the base"
As she finished her sentence she snapped her fingers signalling two women to climb up the stairs and towards us.

They placed two bracelets on each of our wrists and then hit a button in the middle causing the bracelets to connect.

"Okay everyone calm down there is no need to arrest us" Grayson said as he tried to tear his hands away from the restriction

"I was instructed to take you safely to Mr. Dolan's room and to make sure you don't run away again" she said as the two girls grabbed us and began to walk us to the elevator.

We stood in silence as the elevator went to the fourth floor.

The girls pushed us out of the elevator and then continued to guide us down the hallway to our old room.

The one with brown hair banged on the door causing Ethan to open the door.

"Thank you" Ethan said as he shook the girls' hands and then moved to the side allowing Grayson and I to walk into the room.

"What brings you fuckers back?" Ethan asked, a hint of anger present in his voice

"I think I'm pregnant" I blurted out causing Grayson to lift his head and stare at me with a look of anger and surprise plastered across his face.

"So you need medical attention and tests?" Ethan asked

"No dip shit, she doesn't. What the fuck Ethan? Yes she needs tests. What kind of fucking questions are you asking?" Grayson said, clearly annoyed with his brother

"Okay everyone needs to calm down. Ethan, first please undo these restraints and then, can we all talk like adults?"

Ethan didn't respond and turned away from me. He reached into a drawer behind him and grabbed a card. He swiped it across our wrists causing the chains to break and the bracelets to fall to the ground.
