Teen Taken

Chapter 22

After we were done checking in Bray grabbed my hand once again and led me through the security checks and up to our gate number where we sat side by side in some plastic chairs. He turned to face me looking me straight in the eye and said ‘El, talk to me’.

‘Blake, he wrote that note didn’t he’ I finally replied to something

Yes he did’ he answered me slowly watching my reaction as he did so, my eyes began to get teary once again and this time the tears finally spilled out trickling silently down my face. I pulled my knees up to my chest and buried my head in them so Bray wouldn’t see me like this, so vulnerable, so weak.

‘Hey hey, sssh it’s alright El, it’s all alright’ he was crouched down in front of me now trying to pry my arms from my face. He succeeded without much difficulty and soon had both my hands in one of his and his other hand was cupping my chin making me look at him.

‘H..H..He was in my room’ I stuttered out

‘Yes he was, but for some unknown lucky reason he didn’t hurt you then, he left. The boys will find him El, I promise everything will go back to normal. You just have to trust me.’

‘Trust you?’ I didn’t know if I could or not, so much was happening lately and to put all of my trust in this gorgeous Vampire, could I do that? Deep down I knew it was my only option for survival. Í’ll try my best’ I admitted.

‘Good because you really don’t have a choice in the matter I’m still in charged you know, now let’s get onto this plane’ he stood and took my hand once again. I wasn’t quite sure of the gesture if it was to keep me close to him because he thought I’d do a runner or if it was just a sweet comfort thing. I was almost sure it was both.

We took our seats which happened to be the very first two on the plane. I had never flown first class before but I could already tell it was a lot better than the usual economy. The seats were twice as wide and there was so much legroom too, it was insanely better.

‘Why are we going to London?’ I asked Bray as if now the thought had only just crossed my mind.

‘We are going to the safe house. It’s a place that only myself and the boys know about as well. Amongst all of the drama we phoned him and he said that it would be best if we went there.’

‘For how long?’ I asked

‘For as long as it takes for you to be safe again, now try and get some sleep it’s going to be a long flight’ he finished ending the conversation. I took his advice and brought my feet up onto the chair curling up in a small ball and resting my head on the headrest.

‘El, El baby you need to wake up, we going to be landing in 10 minutes I stirred in my sleep as I heard this persistent voice. Boy was I tired, I felt like I hadn’t slept in days.

Él I know you can hear me’ ugh there was that voice again, it wasn’t going to stop. My eyes fluttered open and I looked up to see Brays face above mine. I was sprawled across both of our seat with my torso and head resting in his lap. My heartbeat started to pick up and I could feel my cheeks warming up.

‘Comfy?’ he asked with a teasing smile, I was sure he could hear the change in my heartbeat and for that I was mortified. I quickly scrambled up and back into my own seat.

‘Um sorry about that’ I said not looking at him.

‘No worries baby ‘I could hear the smirk in his voice.

We soon landed, collected our luggage and once again went through the security. We were soon in a taxi heading off to the safe house when Bray got a phone call.

‘Hi, what… How did they find it? You don’t think he was still around and heard us talking do you?.....okay…yes..alright…keep in touch.’Bray ended the phone call with worry on his face.

‘Çhange of plans sir, can you please take us to a top hotel in central London’ Bray addressed the taxi driver

‘Yes sir’ he replied and turned the car in a different direction.

‘What’s wrong?’ I asked Bray

‘Not here’ he replied pointing at the back of the taxi driver signalling we weren’t alone. So we sat in silence for half an hour, and every minute we sat there I was growing more and more curious and more and more worried. I had no idea what was happening or what caused the change of plans. We soon arrived at a large hotel and walked up to the main desk.
