Levi's Protection

THIRTEEN

A hand slides up and down my body, grabbing at my chest and butt.

"Please stop." I begin to sob, trying to get away but I can't move, my body is glued to the spot.

"You're mine, now." The man whispered, "Levi isn't here to save you this time."

Sloppy, wet kisses trailed up and down my neck and I screamed again, "No! Levi!"

"You'll never see him again. You're mine." The man said and suddenly disappeared, and I could move again.

I lifted my naked body up to run, only to find myself covered head to toe in blood. My blood covered hands shook as I screamed Levi's name again and again, but he never came.

The last thing I saw was the man appearing again and walking forward with a knife, plunging it into my stomach.

"Willow!"

I curled into a ball, trying to block out the noise.

"Willow, god damn it. Wake up!" I hand shook my shoulder, and I finally rolled over.

Levi was hovering over me, hands on either side of my head, supporting his weight from crushing me.

"You were crying my name in your sleep." He spoke softly. His hair was messy and face showed evidence of sleeping soundly, but he looked more rested than before.

"The man from the hotel." Is all I said, I pulled on his shirt, wanting him to lay down again.

He rolled off of me onto his side and turns be so my back was against his chest. Our legs tangled together and he wraps an arm firmly around my waist, pressing me to him.

"Do you want to talk about it?" His voice is quiet in my ear.

"Maybe another time." I hum, and snuggle into him further, enjoying the feeling of his big body wrapped around mine.

We lay like that for a while, his warm breath sending chills down my spine.

"You really want to go to Cuba?" He asks suddenly.

"I have no where else to go." I say, "My dad doesn't care. He hasn't even tried to contact me since we've left." 

"At least he didn't send out his men out to kidnap you." Levi laughed, somehow finding genuine humor in the situation.

I turn myself around to face him, "You're kind of the only person I have." I laughed a little, "And I barely know you." 

"I'll make sure we get to know each other as soon as we're not running for our lives. Deal?" He looks me dead in the eye. 

"Deal."  I say and offer him my pinkie.

He laughs, but takes his much larger finger in mine anyway and squeezes tightly. 

Suddenly, Jasper bursts into the room, but halts as soon as he see's us. "Is this some new sex thing I don't know about? Levi I swear to God if you nut on my sheets I'll-"

"Jasper!" Levi cuts a smirking Jasper off mid-sentence, "What could you possibly need." 

"I've been thinking-well- we've  been thinking." He reaches his hand out behind the door and playfully yanks a girl into view. "And, we decided-"

"We want to come with you!" The girl squeals, jumping up and down. 

"Amber, calm down, be cool." Jasper hisses to her, and wraps his arms around her from behind.

"To Cuba?" Levi sputters.

"Yes!" Amber says, giving us both a big grin.

"Why would you need to-" Levi begins.

"We don't need to friend.  We want to." Jasper says, "Start fresh, get married, start a family." He gives Amber a wink, making me smile at them both.

"Plus!" Amber adds, "I hear the weather is amazing!" 

Levi looks to me, obviously not knowing what to say.

"It's up to you." I say, shrugging. "I have no idea what's going on half the time anyway." 

He let's out a huff, and turns back the the couple. "If that's what you want. But I have conditions-"

"Yes!" Amber screams jumping into the air, "Ah! Willow, we're going to be such good friends! Practically family! I have to go pack!" Her voice fades as she runs down the hallway.

"Jasper, this isn't some vacation." Levi's voice is deep and angry, now that Amber is gone.

"I know, man. I understand the situation completely." He looks Levi dead in the eye, "Humor her though, would you?"

Levi plops his head back down on the pillow with sign, "Something bad is going to happen, I can feel it."
