Changed Blood

Chapter 20

Don't breathe. I told myself. Just hold it in. There hunter sat on the couch. Chewing away and a bag of popcorn. I stood up behind him. He got up, making me nearly wet my pants it was so unexpected. I crouched back down and waited. Trying to listen for him sitting down. It was quiet. I couldn't hear anything. I turned over peaking over the top of the couch.
"Son of a bitch I was right." Hunter stood hovering over the couch. His hands on his hips. He was biting his lip. Seeing this bastard upclose made my stomach turn. I stood up. Equaling my height.
"Unlock that door hunter. Your games have went on long enough."
"Say what you please Nick. But, there's no need for me to open the door. She's staying with me. Right babe?" There was silence.
"Meh, she's a dumb bitch anyway." He went over to the door. I could feel the heat in my face. I could feel the blood rushing through my body. He went over to the closet and unlocked the door. Pulling her out like she was some dirty laundry. She stood up. And I melted. Her eyes locked with mine and the world froze. My baby. My world. My everything. She was here. I haven't seen her in so long I thought I might faint. This is what my dad meant when you fall hard I guess.
"You're changing." I said outloud. The world slowly came back to me and I felt much stronger. All because of her. Her skin was a lighter tone. Her eyes were beautiful before, but were larger and had a very bright red tint to them. Her hair was falling perfect. I don't think that was a change but, just seeing her made me crazy. I went towards her forgetting where I was and his grip got tighter on her arm. I could see it was hurting her. Damn this was tough. I didn't know what to do.
"Put her somewhere else so we can settle this like men." I said. Holding my ground.
"What? You think she wants to come back to you anyway? You left her. Alone for all this time. She's just gonna call you her hero because you save her from me? Somebody who, actually gives her love."
"I did love her." I growled through my teeth.
"It was hard for everybody. You had no idea what I went through during that time."
"I don't need to know. She WAS yours. But, she even admitted to me. You were terrible." I looked at her and she just looked at him. I knew what he was saying was just to piss me off, but what he did next made me a little nervous. Hunter wasn't somebody who procrastinated. He said he was going to do something and he did it. He walked over to the coffee table and opened the drawer. He pulled out a handgun and cocked it. Holding it right on her throat.
