Saved by the Bad Boy

Chapter 15

Einar is super protective ever since I told him. He makes me stay in bed and relax, even though I should probably move around. He also makes sure nobody disturbs me. Which Anne and me both find annoying, but that also means that he keeps leader away, which I am super happy about. I mostly stay on my laptop trying to brake through their system. But it's more blocked than anything I've ever hacked. Although it is the government I'm hacking. After a week though I'm done and tired. I slap the laptop shut and push it off my lap to the end of the bed. Einar raises his eyebrows.

"Is it not working?" I shrug.

"I've barely gotten anywhere in it. I've broken a few of the barriers but there are so many." He sits next to me and wraps an arm around my shoulder and I lay my head on his shoulder.

"Do you need something?"

"A normal life." He laughs and squeezes me tightly.

"I know baby. I do too." He leans over and kisses me. I kiss him back, savoring him as much as I can, not knowing how much we will have each other, "Are you okay?" He asks pulling away. I nod and smile.

"I just love you so much." He kisses me again.

"I love you too." I smile and he groans as the intercom rings again for a meeting.

"Ugh, I really wanted to spend some time with you." I give him a sad smile.

"Go to your meeting. I'll find something to do."

"Yea, maybe Anne will skip this meeting too."

"Has she been skipping meetings?" He nods.

"Yea, and leader's getting really mad. He's not happy." I nod.

"If I see her I'll tell her." He smiles and kisses my forehead. He trails kisses down my temple, over my cheek, and to my lips. He wraps an arm around me and my fingers touch his neck. I pull away, breathless.

"You need to go." He sighs and kisses my cheek, making his way down to my neck.

"Come on, I can skip this meeting." I shake my head, but I smile. He reaches under my shirt and I pull away from him, making him stop.

"Einar, we can't." I give him a look. And he groans.

"You're already pregnant. What's the point? I love you, we're married." I sigh.

"Einar, you know what's best for both of us." He glares at the wall.

"Whatever. I need to go to the meeting." He turns and slams the door shut behind him. I clench my fists and try to calm down. He knows what's best, but sometimes he just doesn't think. Ice builds around me and tears well up again. I shake my head angrily. No, I'm fine. He'll apologize later. I pace the room for a few minutes before the door bursts open and frightened, I shoot ice at the door. It hits the wall a few inches from Anne's face. Her eyes widen and she looks around the room at my ice cage. That I feel so trapped in. She nods.

"Okay, I think it's time to get you out of here." I nod and she motions me to follow her. We walk down the hall and I smile knowing exactly where we're going. She walks into the kitchen and I'm about to follow when I hear Einar's voice down the hall. Curious I walk down the hall and peek around the corner to see the back of his head and a black haired girl talking with him.

"So...I know you're married and all, but it was a forced marriage and before that, we were dating. So technically were still dating." He laughs and she wraps both hands around his neck and their lips collide in an angry lust and fury. I bite my lip and turn away. I run down the hall to my room and close the door and lock it. I slide down the door, my heart racing. Tears flow down my cheeks and I put my head in my arms. I sob and clench my fists. Ice grows on the carpet under me and around me, it crawls up the door, and the room temperature goes down. The air becomes fridged cold, but I don't mind it. I love the cold. My ice covers the walls, floor, and ceiling. I just sob, while it grows and grows. How could he do this to me? He said he loves me, I said I loved him back. Was I just imagining it all? Does he still hate me? Is he doing this for leader? I can't trust anyone, not Einar not Anne. I think it's time to leave, no matter what. They're not going to lie to me anymore. I need to leave, without Einar. I stand up and start making plans to leave.

-

"Hey, baby." I hear Einar say coming in. I put on a fake smile.

"Oh, you're finally back from your meeting?" He nods.

"Yea, leader is going crazy with this new mission." I nod and force my smile wider. He lies too well, how long has he been lying to me.

"Oh, really? Is that all he talked about? What else did you do? You were gone for some time." He groans.

"Yea, he went on forever making sure everything is ready." I nod and turn, getting ready for bed. For the next few days I wait, anxious. I pack and wait. I go through the computer looking for places to go to. I want to see my family at least one more time, but I can't risk it, that's the first place they'll check. I'll have to leave the country, maybe to Canada. A few days ago I got into the system when I froze through the pipes and the holes in the walls. I managed to start to draw out a little bit of money at a time from their account. Thankfully I haven't heard that they know anything. I'm not really bothered by anyone, well except for leader who checks on me. I won't talk to Anne and she gave up. I jump at the ringing. I smile and pull out my backpack. All these meetings they're having requires everyone to go, which makes an easy getaway. I put it over my shoulder and open the door finding the last of the people running down the hall towards the meeting room. I sneak down the hall, I try to be as quiet as possible. I place a palm on the wall and focus. Ice grows from my hand and through the wall to the wires. I freeze them past operation and the cameras shut off. I keep walking down the hall, making my way towards the exit I remember coming in and out of for my wedding. I turn a corner to run into Einar'Einar's girlfriend. She smirks at me.

"Where are you going, slave?" She says glaring at me. I smile.

"I'm leaving. And don't call me slave, you know what I can do to you." She scoffs.

"No, you're not leaving and I can call you slave if I want, I know some people think you have powers but I think it's a big hoax." I glare at her, I open my hands and let ice out of my hands. I run a hand on the wall as she steps back.

"Does this look like a hoax?" I growl. Her eyes grow in fear, "I know what you did with my husband. And I'm beyond anger now." She quivers in fear. I shoot ice at her feet locking her in place and she tries to move but it doesn't work. I put one finger to her forehead and freeze. She opens her mouth to scream but nothing comes out, ice covers her whole body and she doesn't move. I move past her and make my way to the door. I find the place where the door is and freeze everything I then kick where the door it and it falls over, brittle with cold. People turn when I come from the door. They stare and I dare them to stop me but no of them move, paralyzed with fear. I take a car key that sits with someone's purse. I walk straight down the hall and down the stairs and out the front door. I turn towards the building and place both hands on the building. I push all my energy and anger at my powers and it bursts from my hands and covers the wall, growing. I force more, and it grows around the building, growing thick layers. It grows up and I whine in pain as it grows more covering the 5 story building. The pain grows, burning up my body and my heart hammers, my head pounding. I scream as the pain worsens and after I can't take it anymore I step back to examine my work, the building is completely covered in a thick sheet of ice. I smile and turn, walking away. Dizzy, but I keep going and click the car key, looking for the sound. I find it comes from a small suburban I open the door and pit the key in. I drive out of the parking lot and down the road. I pull into a bank parking lot and get out. I kick off the license plate and switch it with another suburban. I walk into the bank and open my account which I have transferred money to from them and collect all 15,000 dollars onto a debit card and go back to my car. I start it again and drive down the road, setting my GPS for Canada. I'm done, it's finally over. I'm free from them. I'm alone and have little money, but I'm free. And most importantly my child is free. I place a hand on my belly and smile.
