Teen Taken

Chapter 11

‘AHHHHHHHHHHH’ I screamed whilst backing away from Bray cradling my hand in against my chest. It felt like my hand just hit stone, it was throbbing and I could feel the tears in my eyes. To make matters worse Bray didn’t even flinch, he couldn’t look less affected by my hit.

‘Don’t you know better than to try and hurt a vampire?’ Bray said with a smirk on his face

‘Oh shit Ella, let us take a look at your hand’ Jay said whilst moving closer towards me

‘N-n-no!’ I stuttered out ‘stay away from me’ I started backing up until my back hit the wall, I was cornered by them.

‘Please Ella, just let us take a look’ Jay pleaded

‘No its fine’ I replied wincing in pain as I said it. Gee way to make that believable Ella I scolded myself in my head.

They all gave a look that said ‘really Ella.’

‘Were not going to hurt you Ella’ Kyle soothed quietly

I shook my head, a tear escaping down my cheek, traitor tear I thought. The boys continued,

‘We know your scared Ella, but theres no need to be’

‘Yeah it is our job to protect you. No matter how hard your going to make it’

‘You don’t need to be afraid of us kid’ I knew that comment was Bray

I just sank down against the wall and curled up in a ball tucking my head into my knees. A couple more tears leaked out but I kept my head down and quickly wiped them away. Then I felt myself being lifted up. Bray carried me bridal style and sat down on the bed with me on his lap.  I tried to wriggle off his lap but he locked his arms around my waist keeping me there. I sighed in defeat.

‘Here let me take a look at your hand’ Jay said kneeling down in front of me so he was at my eye level. I shook my head and tucked my hands behind my back.

‘C’mon Ella, I can’t fix it if you don’t let me look at it’ Jay reasoned, with that Bray pulled injured arm out from behind my back and held it out for Jay whilst restraining me with his other arm around my waist. Boy was this guy strong, holding me and my arm down with one arm! Wow!

Jay, Dean and Kyle all started inspecting my hand. It was red and swollen and the knuckles were dotted with blood. I flinched as Jay gently touched it, it really hurt. Dean walked out of the room and not even two seconds later he came back up with a first aid kit. The three boys cleaned the blood off my hand and then bandaged it up. Once they were done they three guys stood back admiring their handy work.

‘Alright, now that’s done, how about we go get lunch in town?’ Jay asked

‘Yeah im starving!’ agreed Dean ‘Me too’ said Kyle

Bray started to get up but continued holding me bridal style against his chest. I wriggled in his grip.

‘Uh, can I get down?’ I asked awkwardly

‘No, we aren’t losing you again’ and with that his grip tightened and we all walked down out of the gigantic house and down the drive way. I was lifted up into the same huge car that I had seen too much of in the last couple of days and then flanked either side by Bray and Kyle. The other two got in the front and we started driving towards the town.
