L' amour (English)

Chapter 12 - Trader...?

"Y-you knew" I felt tears gather in my eyes.

I had officially became fed up with it. He wouldn't tell me stuff, he'd disappear all the time then reappear whenever, he would barely show any emotion and now he knows about them....

"Alix I want to know everything now!" I screamed.

I then heard muffling in the closet. I turned my head to the closet but Alix had grabbed my face harshly as he pressed his lips roughly against mine. My eyes had widened.

My cheeks burned red as I motioned over to the closet by using my hand.

Brandon walked over to the closet as he opened it.

Savannah who had been tied up, with her mouth taped had fallen into Brandon's arms.

Alix pulled away as he starred at me and gripped my waist, pulling me close. "Dammit J..." he mumbled as his grip tightened.

I felt tears run down my cheeks in complete utter fear and shock.

Brandon had instantly looked over at Alix then me. "Jasper we need to leave now!" He yelled as he scooped her up in his arms, bridal style.

The thing is, I couldn't move or say anything. My body had been paralyzed.

Alix had softly hovered his lips against my neck which had made me shiver.

The dark figure who was outside had stood in the hallway. And so many of those dark figures rised or appeared as they circled around Alix and I.

"Who are you, WHAT ARE YOU!?" Brandon yelled in panic as he watched every movement that Alix had made.

Alix's eyes and pupils had turned completely black as he glanced over at Brandon and Savannah.

Brandon gave me a I'm Sorry look before darting his way out of the house with Savannah in his arms.

My fear had over controlled me as I cried silently. I had so many questions...but none of them had felt like they were answered.

-Brandon's POV-

I carried her out as I ran out to the car.

The sky had darkened as thunder crackled with droplets of rain.

I ripped the tape off her mouth and untied her, her eyes had been red and puffed up from crying so much.

"Are you ok?'" I softly asked as I felt guilt run through my vains. What have I done...why did I leave him...

"I'm f-fine I guess" She stuttered as she hugged her knees.

"Did they do anything? What did they do to you?" I questioned her as I sat beside her, rubbing her back.

"They just captured me and threw me in the closet" She sighed "Alix....Alix was apart of it this whole time."

My eyes had widened then trailed downwards as my hand moved in a circular motion on her back.

We sat in silence before she had decided to ask "What's going to happen to Jasper?"

I shrugged as my mind thought of the worse possible things.

Mittens had rushed in our direction, pouncing on my lap as she licked my cheek gently.

I giggled then starred at the house and let out a disappointing sigh. "I really don't know..."

I felt horrible. I had left Jasper in there with Alix who we had thought we knew.

Who Jasper thought he knew.

He trusted him...he fell in love with him...for what? To meet his end?....

I thought as bit my lip hard, holding back my tears.

I questioned Alix and those dark figures for a long time. But I never had thought that they would have a connection.

I thought Alix was protecting him.....

I thought Alix was trustworthy...was on our side.....

I thought Alix...was someone who he clearly isn't.

-Jasper's POV-

"I t-trusted y-you....." i managed to say as it slipped past my lips.

"And you still do" he lifted my chin as his eyes pierced into mine.

"I used too..." i growled as I clenched my fist tightly.

He gripped both of my wrists tightly as he slammed me against the wall, pressing his chest against mine.

"J...J....J..." he leaned to my ear "you are foolish to believe you can find happiness in a lifeless soul such as mine."

"What do you mean?" I nervously asked as I struggled to free my wrists from his grip.

"I'm not alive Jasper." He firmly stated.

I paused as I felt myself sink into a pit of shock and depression. I felt myself sinking deeper and deeper.

"I've been dead for years now; I had never been alive." His eyes had turned back to normal as he gently glared at me.
