Three Little Words

Chapter 15

I can feel my wrists and feet being tied up, my eyes refuse to open. The ropes burn into my ankles as the person gives the strings a final tug before walking off to the side, heels clinking along the tiles. I become a bit more conscious, head lulling to the side.
Finally my eyelids slowly lift up, the entire room is blurry making my head pound where I was hit.

“Well well.” That voice, I’ve heard it before. Slowly my eyes focused in on a women leaning against a table, filing her nails. “Look who’s up”.

“What do you want?” I said a bit panicked. The lady chuckled and shook her head at me, pointing her nail file in my direction. An evil smirk placed on her face as she watched me squirm in my seat. “You’re gonna kill me, aren’t you?”

She slowly shook her head no, letting the file fall to the ground.

“You’re going to lead them here for me”. My eyes went wide in realization, Aiden was going to come to look for me. She was going to kill him. “And it looks like my plan worked” She frowned looking up above us.

Glass from the ceiling came crashing down in front of me. There sat that girl with long toe nails and Aiden along with Ethan.

“Are you okay?” Aiden came running over to me but before he could that lady used one hand, shoving him back into Ethan. He growled loudly, red eyes glowing brightly.

Something came into contact with the kidnappers body sending her flying to the other side. Now the toenail lady stood in front of me, growling at the kidnapper. Her claws grew out as she ran off to fight.

“Kitten.” Aiden came freely to me, swiping his claws at the ropes that bound my hands and ankles together. I remained quiet as he picked me up and brought me to the other side of the room, hiding me behind a pole. He gave a small smile before turning to leave.

“No. Aiden” I whimpered, grabbing his wrist before he went off. I pulled him back to me and wrapped my arms around his neck. “Please don’t” I whispered into his neck. He brought his hands onto my waist and set me back from him.

“Stay put. No matter what” He whispered, placing a soft kiss on my head. My hand slipped from his as he rejoined Ethan, morphing together into that monster.

Placing my hands on my head I sat on the ground, listening pathetically to the cries of pain coming from behind me.

What the hell are you doing?

My eyes went wide as I shot my head up, looking around me to see where exactly the voice came from.

You’re smarter than this, you can’t let him die.

I ran both hands through my hair and yelled in frustration as another cry in pain came from behind once more.

You’re strong, you’re and angel for Christ sake! Do something! You can’t let Aiden die!

Whatever was happening to me, whoever was speaking to me was right. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply, going into a calmer state as the world around me slowed down. I got up to my feet, eyes still closed, yet I could see everything perfectly.

I walked into the open, body being lifted into the sky with each step until I was right above everyone. I could already tell all eyes were on me.

“No” That kidnappers voice seemed to awaken me from my trance. My eyes snapped open, focusing on her. My fists balled in anger as she threw Aiden to the side, leaving him bleeding and unconscious. “I should’ve killed you!” She shrieked, moving to come attack me.

My hands opened, white sparks coming out of each hand.

“Come on and do it” I growled as my body slowly lowered back onto the ground. Her eyes bore into mine before she makes her move, charging at me with nothing but her own fists.

My hand quickly catches her fist as she goes to hit me back like she did to Aiden. Her eyes go wide in shock as I twist her wrist harshly, hearing a sickening snap before letting her fall to the ground.

“He’s dyeing” She chuckles, motioning to Aiden with her head. “Aren’t you going to save him?” She tilts her head to the side, another evil smirk plastered on her dirty face.

Without another thought I rush to his side, dropping to my knees.

“Aiden!” I shout, placing my two fingers against his neck. He barely has a pulse. “I’m going to save you, I promise” I whisper, getting back to my feet. Before I know it both Aiden and Ethan are over each shoulder, super strength too?

“Lay them onto these tables, quickly!” Deaton instructs, helping me set Aiden down on one table and Ethan on the other. Tears fall from my eyes as I look over Aiden, he looks so helpless and pale.

Deaton shoves something into my hand, making me look up at him with tear filled, questioning eyes.

“On the count of three you jab that into his chest, got it?” I nod furiously and wipe tears from my face. “One” Deaton begins. I grab one of Aiden’s limp hands in my own and give it a squeeze. “Two”. I place a kiss on his forehead, placing my thumb over the back of the huge needle in my hand. “Three!” I slam it down into his chest, pressing the butt of the needle.

Once its empty I carefully pull it out, throwing it off to the side. My eyes scan over Aiden for anything, movement, heavy breaths. His muscles tense and un-tense, coughing furiously as he sits up to look me in the eyes.

“You’re okay” I cry, resting my head against his shoulder. He winces in pain and pulls away a bit. “Sorry” I say slightly embarrassed.

“I knew you cared” He chuckles, turning his head to look me in the eyes. I roll my eyes at his comment, bringing his knuckles up to my lips, placing a soft kiss on them. “I knew it”.

“Whatever” I let our hands fall apart, turning to check on Ethan.

“Ow my heart” He jokes. Before I manage to take another step arms slither themselves around my waist, pulling me back and onto a rather familiar lap. Aiden snuggles his nose into the crook of my neck, kissing it once or twice before allowing me to get back onto my feet.

“You know you could’ve just done this” I say, grabbing his face in between my hands. That famous smirk re-appears as I lean into him, kissing him roughly. I allowed his hands to tangle in my hair as he deepened the kiss by a long shot.

My heart and entire body tingled, heat rushed everywhere, and it was all because of this one kiss.

I pulled away a bit shocked, red on my cheeks. Aiden pulled me onto his lap and made me rest my head on his chest.

“Why don’t you just admit it?” He whispered in my hair, wrapping his arms tightly around my body. I sat wide eyed, enjoying the sound of his heartbeat. “Please”. His lips found the top of my head once more before pulling back a bit to look at me.

“Why don’t you just say it.” I avoided his gaze and kept mine locked onto Ethan and Deaton who discussed what had just happened. Aiden sighed and placed a hand on my cheek, forcing me to look up into those big brown eyes.

“My name’s Aiden and I love Dakota Valleta” He spoke with such sincerity it made me tear up slightly. How could he love me, and how could I allow myself to love him.

“I-I.” I stammered slightly. Aiden gave me a small reassuring smile, just to let me know everything was okay. “I love you”. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me into him, hungrily kissing my lips.
 
It was breathtakingly right, it felt right, it looked right. I Dakota Valleta can love, it’s been proven, Aiden has proven it.
