Chapter 29 (Alex's pov)
I only heard her scream. I was too late...
It happened 3 days after her birthday. None of this should have happened that day.
Chloe left my sight only to go to the bathroom. I shouldn't have let her leave my side. Maybe then this wouldn't have happened. I ran her to the hospital, but it was too late.
We lost one of her triplets...
Alison is the reason we lost him. She snuck up behind Chloe and stabbed her abdomen.
Currently, I'm sitting in the waiting room, waiting to be able to go see her. My head hangs down low, my shoulders drooping. Kat and Simon are back with her right now. So many people have been through her recently. My face is stained with tears.
I promised I would take care of all 3 babies. I wanted to meet them, hold them, love them... But Alison took away my chance to give love to all 3.
I clench my fists tightly in anger. I look up. That's when Zack walks in, looking dazed. His eyes meet mine and he runs over to me, wrapping his arms around me in a hug. I don't question it. I need a hug right now, so I wrap my arms around him as well.
"Alex, I'm so sorry. I just got the news. I tried stopping her from doing it. I swear I did," Zack says, pulling back to look me in the eye.
"Zack, it's ok. I don't blame you. You didn't hurt Chloe. Well, you raped her, but that's ok. You didn't kill anyone is what I was meaning," I tell him, wiping away fresh tears. "I'm going to kill Alison, though. She hurt my mate."
"Hey, I know you're angry, but you can't kill her. At least not yet, anyways."
I look at him confused. "What?"
"Alison is pregnant. It's one of mine, but she doesn't want the kid. She does all kinds of drugs, trying to kill the fetus. Please, I can't stand watching her do this. I don't want to lose the kid." Zack's eyes plead with me, practically begging me to help him save the baby.
"I'll do what I can, Zack," I say.
Before Zack can reply, Kat and Simon come back, holding each other.
"Al, you can go back," Kat cries, burying her face into Simon's chest.
I look at Zack once more before heading back to Chloe's room. Once I get to her door, I slowly open the door, peeking in at her.
The soft beeping of the heart monitor, her heavy breathing, all the other sounds mix together as I slowly walk in.
Tears brim my eyes as they stare at her stomach.
The knife managed to miss the other two babies, miraculously. The doctor said that it was almost as if the little boy had protected his sisters' lives. Such a good little boy.
I walk over to Chloe and sit in the chair next to the bed. I gently take her hand and run my thumb over her knuckles.
"Hey, baby," I whisper to her sleeping form. "I just saw Zack. You know, the guy who raped you and is my older half brother? Yeah, he just told me that Alison is pregnant and is trying to kill the baby with drugs. He begged me to help save the baby. If you have any way that will help save the baby, that would be great to know." I gently kiss the top of her hand.
"Get my dad," I hear her sweet voice whisper. I look up and meet her gorgeous brownie eyes. "He knows a way to save the fetus." I nod, standing up.
"I'll do whatever I have to to help my brother save that baby. Just because he hates my existence doesn't mean I won't help him out. He's family." I smile at my beautiful mate.
"I know you will. You're gonna be an amazing dad," Chloe says.
I bend down, kiss her, and leave quickly.
I have to find Satan quickly. If I waste time, that's more time lost for the baby I'm trying to save. So I can't waste any time.
Bursting out the doors of the hospital, I head for the forest, jumping over cars as I cross the street. I use my awesome vampire speed to get through it quickly. I dodge trees, jump over roots, duck under low hanging branches.
Eventually, I get to the center of the forest, which has a portal that leads to Hell, Satan's domain. I take a deep breath, then step through the portal.
††††††††††††††††
Satan terrified me the last time I was here. I asked to be his apprentice as well as I made a deal with him. Both were made so I could find my mate.
Doesn't make dealing with him any less terrifying.
Satan has hair the color of a black hole, eyes as hard and cold as steel, tan skin etch with chain tattoos wrapping around the entire length of both his arms with a heart over his chest (as if being 7 foot tall wasn't enough) with Chloe and Simon's names in it, along with tattooed angel wings on his back with the name Stacy between his shoulder blades, perfect nose, and strong jawline. He has a cape that he wears that looks and moves like dripping blood. It can turn him invisible or make him fly. He usually keeps it hidden. He's always wearing a black wife beater tank top with black shorts and black flip flops.
Right now, I'm on the ground kneeling before him, begging for him to help me.
"Why should I help you?" He asks, his voice sounding like the voice in every woman's wet dream.
"Because this is for the sake of a child's life. I'll kill the woman so you can torture her. Please just help me!" I beg. "This is for my brother. You know how important family is to me! It'll be helping Chloe too!"
"How will it help her?"
"She can keep it safe! I promise I will take care of everything that deals with Chloe! I swear it on my life," I say, staring up into Satan's steely eyes.
After a few seconds of staring, Satan breaks out into a huge grin and hugs me close.
"I like your fire, kid!" He says, pulling me back to arms length.
I stare at him, blinking rapidly in shock.
"Alright, you've got me in. I'll help you save the kid," he says, smiling.
I sigh in relief, my body sagging a little. "Thank you so much, sir."
"Call me 'Dad' or Noah. You've earned the right," he says, grinning widely. "Now, we need to go to Stacy and talk to her about this."
"Um, Stacy God?" I ask.
Noah laughs. "Duh! I'd never need any other woman's help."
"Noted to tell Stacy," I mumble under my breath. This shall be interesting...
