Bite Me (Stopped)

Chapter 14 Rescued or Taken

++++++Nico’s POV++++++

We have saved dad but why does it feel like we took him away from Remus instead. When we got there it certainly didn’t look like he wanted to leave. Just how much were they true? How much do love run between them? Ugh…I shuddered just thinking about it. What does dad see in him?

I walked on the marbled tiles of the hallway. The castle was beautiful. We are currently staying here for the time being. Remus is on lock and chain but he didn’t even flinch much less resist. Just looking at him makes me mad. He’ll smirk like he got everything under control even though everything is totally against him. Leo and Lloyd have even had their piece of mind with him. But there’s something wrong with Leo. I can see it in his eyes; he has forgiven his father long long ago.

I shook my head. The castle garden was even beautiful. I stared at the scenery before me but as soon as I thought I was in peace I felt the familiar tug. I could feel him. I tore my eyes away from the greenery and into the beautiful eyes of my beloved. My heart quickened and I felt the pull stronger than ever. I clenched my hands. Why are we torn apart like this? Why can’t we be closer? Why can’t we be together for even just a while?

In this distance I could feel our emotions in the air. I searched his eyes, for anything at all. I could see pain in them, pain and deep sorrow and longing, but me too…yearning within this agony. “Conall…” I whispered. He shook his head and turned his body. The sunlight cast an unearthly glow upon him, causing a great shadow behind him. “Wait…I…” I began but I could see him in those sad, sad eyes looking at me even though he wasn’t facing me. “No…” He spoke, his voice enough to make my body shiver.

I wanted to run after him, tackle him down, kiss him, love him, hug him…. But I didn’t. I stood behind and coped with my feelings. He thinks the same things as I do, don’t he? I want him so bad…I never thought I’d go crazy just thinking about anyone. He fills my mind day and night and the fact that he is so close but never close enough drives me insane. The fact that he is in front of me but just like now I can’t go to him.

This is so stupid…it’s so stupid!!!

As I struggled with my emotions I saw dad with a book. He was reading it and I saw tears in his eyes. I looked at the cover of the book, Remus and Ray. I didn’t read the other part but it was enough for me to know that it was some sort of journal about them.

I walked over to him cautiously. He noticed me but didn’t bother to look up. “He added a few pages of notes and poems under my nose while I was here. There are only 3 pages left now.” He smiled bitterly. “Dad…I…” He shook his head. “Don’t say it.” He stood up and left. I never realized how small his shoulders looked. I always thought he was a stubborn rock, the size of a mountain but I guess not. He looks fragile yet strangely pretty.

I never thought I’d describe my dad as pretty but he does.

It’s over right? Everything can finally go back to the way it was. I can be with Conall again. I snuck to the planning room that they had set up. “The Rogues and the resistance are still not letting up. We have their leader, yet why do they not back down?!” Jack shouted. “They have broken away from me. I am no longer the pack leader. Their leader now is a teenager number 0563, also called Toothy Grin.” I heard Remus reply. “Tell us what’s going on?” The Alpha spoke. I cloaked my presence. They never tell me anything.

“Revenge…I have played my part now it’s all on how they move. The bastard is coming soon.” He laughed. “Tell us what you know!!” Remus laughed again. “You’re gonna have to do better if you want me to spit it out. And even if I tell you it won’t make a difference. You have no part to play in this anymore. I’m sorry but you are no longer in play.”
