Swimming With Fangs

Chapter 29

"Just because I let you go, doesn't mean I wanted too..." -T

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brooklyn~

I have been crying and screaming for a whole day, and I haven't heard from Tristan... or my captors. They're not interested in me since Tristan has agreed to the deal... how could he do this? If he does this... I cant be with him. I cant be with a murderer.. not a new formed one at least... 

"Hello sweetie." The guy, Luke walks in smiling. 

"Why do you have such hatred for him...?" I ask silently. 

"He knows why, so it doesn't matter to you. It's our business." 

"If I'm here, it's mine too." I say, annoyed. 

"But you're just the girl he loves, nothing more. We're keeping you for the leverage." He laughs. "I thought you were smart." 

"I'm way smarter than you all bastards combined." I hiss at him. 

"Then show me that missy. Because I've seen smarter." He grins. "Example, me." 

"You're over your head." I mock. 

He pulls out a chair and sits down in front of me. "I never knew a vampire could ever love a human... you seem special, are you seriously just human?" 

I look away from him. "What do you think..?" 

"Human really." He says. 

"Tristan sticks to his words and promises. I have people out there who will be worrying about me. Please, just let me go. This is seriously not the life I wanted in the first place." 

"If you are involved in a vampire, this is the life you get." He huffs and stands up. "Get fucking used to it, worse things happen to mates of a vampire." He says. "Consider yourself lucky Brooklyn." 

He is about to walk off but I clear my throat, which stops him. 

"If I were to make you a deal, would you let me go?" I ask him.. 

I knew what I was going to do if I ever escape, I will look for Tristan once he's out of the area, when he's off on that mission, and I'll talk to him myself, face to face. 

"What deal sweetheart?" 

I sigh. "If I were to break it off with Tristan, just say I'd never want to see him ever again... would you allow me to leave?" 

"Oh, the smart-ass talks, and thinks I'm stupid." He chuckles. "I don't believe it, it's easy to just come up with shit like that, they hardly do it." 

"Then name it." I say. "And I'll consider it." I say. 

"Me and Tristan... we go long back." He says. "You know.. we we're friends once, but he betrayed me. Left me to die in the 17th century. Imagine Leah or Emma to do that huh? Would you not want revenge?" 

"How do you know Leah?" I gasp. 

"I know everything about the people I kidnap dear." He grins wide, showing his fangs. 

"I wouldn't kill the person!" I shout. "I'd talk to him or her!" 

"Oh, and that will solve it?" 

"Let. Me. Go... we can make that deal." 

"You want to make a deal.. it'll be a big one." He says seriously. 

"Name it, I said I'll consider it." 

"You kill Tristan for us after his mission. You are free, no more captures." He grins. 

I gasp, looking at him in shock and anger. "No fucking way!" I shout.
