Looking for the Light Through the Darkness

Chapter 74: RUN

I can feel my entire body beginning to tremble as all of the boys jump up out of their seats. Everyone seems to be reacting but I can't even think. If Avery knows where I am currently that means that Bane would know and- "We need to move." Mr. Blackbourne states to someone his voice ringing over all the others and cutting off my thought process before it gets darker.

"Owen what is going on?" Mr. Toma's deep rough voice washes over the group as strong arms lift me up into the air. Tucking my head into the crook of Silas's neck, he holds me tight to his chest as we start to move.

"There is someone that is connected to Avery that is after Sang. We have been protecting her." Mr. Blackbourne states somewhere in front of me. "The person after her is very dangerous and we have come to you for additional help." Hearing the apartment door slam behind us, I can hear the footsteps all around us.

Focusing, I listen to the footsteps trying to determine what is going on around us. The Russian is directly in front of us with Mr. Toma and Mr. Blackbourne. North is directly behind us with Luke and Nathan on his sides, the guy who opened the door and another are to my left with Gabriel, and Dr. Green, Kota, and Victor are on my right. All of the boys are surrounding us to keep me safe.

"Then we stand and fight." The Russian states his breath heavy his voice strained with the urge to let loose his inner Russian beast but at the same time I tremble at the thought of a stand off. We were too open here to fight. Shifting in Silas's arms, I feel his arms tighten around my waist and I place a hand on his chest trying to keep myself grounded as we begin down flights of stairs.

"We will but not now." North states in a loud growl of warning and I can already tell that Raven and North are cut from the same cloth but probably clash often. "She knows where we are. We need to get someplace safe before we take action. I am not fucking some chick up in the stair well."

"Mr. Taylor, language." Mr. Blackbourne warns and I can't help but smile. At least some things don't change.

"Sang, what happened with you and Avery?" Marc states and I take a slow breath in before looking toward Marc.

"She lied about who she was." I pause unsure how much I should reveal right now. "She is working for someone who hurt me in the past and that person is now back."

"Hurt you... fuck that is a fucking understatement." Gabriel states behind us and I tuck my head down pressing my head against Silas's shoulder who hugs me tighter.

There is a terribly long pause as we come to a stop and then the sound of a door opening. "Give me your coat." Silas states and suddenly I am wrapped up in a warm material my head covered and I try and shrink into a small ball. "Do your best not to move to fast and keep your eyes and ears open everyone. Get to a car we will meet up at safe house C."

"Be safe." I state. "Everyone please be safe and be careful."

And with that everyone must step outside because instantly everyone seems to disappear from my 'view' because all I can hear is the sound of air rushing by. Trembling I do my best not to move but I can't help but yelp when I feel a hand on my side.

"It's me." The Russian whispers his voice softer than before. "Calm yourself. I can smell the fear rolling off you." I do my best not to yell at him but he speaks the truth I am in fear that is all I can feel as of this moment that is the only thing that I can control as I cling tighter to Silas.

We continue to walk for what seems like an hour before we make it to a car. Silas places me in the back and I keep curled up until both the Russian and Silas are in the car. "You can sit up Aggelle Mou." Silas states and I carefully uncurl and sit up in my seat.

Reaching around, I carefully feel out the car as it begins to move. Finding the seatbelt, I quickly put it on and lay back against the seat letting out smooth calming breaths. "Vy khorosho kotenok?" Are you alright kitten?

Wishing I could throw a side glare at the Russian, I run my hands through my hair and take a slow deep breath. "YA ne tvoy kotenok, russkiy." I am not your kitten, Russian. I add a hint of annoyance to my voice but my voice is to airy from my panic so it doesn't sound like a warning.

"S toboy vse v poryadke?" Are you alright? He repeats but his time his voice is lower and more of a warning showing he is serious about getting a response. But his tone sparks Silas to shift in the seat in front of me.

Almost a second later, a large gentle hand is touching my cheek and guiding me to look to the right as a hand touches my neck cautiously. The silence however, doesn't seem to agree with the Russian because he starts to swear loudly in the front seat. "Fucking Shit Damnit Silas what the fuck is fucking going on with her?" 

"She is fine. Focus on driving." Silas states his hands gently rubbing up and down my side trying to help me calm down.
