Saved by the Bad Boy

Chapter 20

They drag both me and Einar into the back of the van and we are forced to sit next to each other on a bench while two guards stare us down, daring us to do anything. I don't even look at Einar, I feel like if I did then I would either kill him or break down. But his eyes never leave me. Eventually through the ride, after about an hour I speak up.

"Keep your eyes away from me." I snarl.

"Cali-"

"Don't talk to me unless you want me to make you. Leader hasn't told me I can't kill you...yet." He doesn't speak but keeps staring.

"I'll cover your eyes and make you blind if you don't stop."

"I'll can't."

"You didn't seem to have any eyes for you when kissing your slut in the hall."

"Cali, it's not what you-"

"Hey, no more bickering in the van. I can't stand to hear your ugly voice blabber any longer." Snarls a guard. I glare at him and give him a smile.

"He also didn't say that I could kill you either." He glares.

"You wouldn't dare."

"Try me sweetheart. I've had just enough to freeze this whole city with everyone in it. I already killed two men today, and I never even got to say goodbye to the only people that care, I had to be burned, then I had to met up with my jackass husband who thought that his ex girlfriend was better after lying repeatedly. Telling me I gave him strength, telling me I'm beautiful, telling me I'm better than anyone else, telling me he wants to be with me forever, telling me that he loves me. Do you know how it feels to have all your heart torn out and ripped apart? Do you know how it feels?" I look at him crazily and he looks scared now. And just because I'm mad I point a finger at him and ice shoots right into his chest and he screams as the ice slowly and painfully grows and wraps around his heart, squeezing every living thing out of it. He screams for a minute before he crumple over on the seat. I glare at the other one, daring him to cross me. I have my collar so as long as I'm not in front of leader I can kill anyone annoying me. He avoids my gaze and I finally find the strength to look at Einar. He stares at me, but instead of fear I find sadness.

"What happened to you?" I whispers.

"You ripped out my heart and forgot to put it back." I growl and turn back to stare straight ahead. I stay wide awake and it's silent for the rest of the way. I can tell it gets to night when it slowly gets darker. I wonder if they're going to stop to sleep somewhere. But they keep going and I remind myself that monsters don't sleep. But I haven't slept in weeks, so what does that say about me?

When they open the back door of the truck the other guard that I didn't kill bursts out, scared. I shove past Einar and the other soldiers stare at the dead body. Leader gives me a solid glare and conects a chain to my collar. He glares at me and looks at the body, I shrug.

"He was annoying me and besides I didn't escape did I? Still your monster on a leash." He shakes his head and mutters something sounding like, "This is why I never married." I look back at the building in front of my there is severe damage to the outside of it and I realize it's the same building I froze. And I realize I'm now back at square one. I gulp as they lead me inside, I try not to look at the frozen bodies that we're affected by the ice from getting too close to the wall. I get my chin up and follow leader and people in lab coats stare at me as I walk. Einar is behind me in cuffs and I feel him step closer to me. We keep walking and I reconize where we walk. The hallways I freeze getting to the hallway where my heart was broken, ripped out, torn and left to bleed on the floor. The chain on my collar is pulled sharply and I almost fall forward. I glare at the soldier in front of me holding the chain. I know I could kill him with one thought but that might cost me my life and my child's. And I wasn't going to give up my child, the only reason I breath, my only reason for still being trapped in this hell, I'll just have to wait for my moment. We finally get to our old room where I see they've made some new changes to; there are locks on it locking us inside and a tiny slot for food I reconize. They shove both me and Einar into the room and leader yells, "No more powers, ever or I will use your collar." And slams the door, locking it. I reach up and distatch the chain from the collar and wrap both hands around the collar pulling, trying to rip it off. I dig my fingernails into it pulling and pulling. Tears start coming as I try and try to get it off. But nothing works. I drop to my knees sweating with wasted work. Tears burn my cheeks and I breath heavily. Einar looks like he wants to say something, he opens him mouth but closes it then opens it again.

"Don't say anything to me." I growl and stand up turning to our old bed and getting in it. I purposely take up all of it, hoping he'll get the hint. And luckily he does. But I still don't trust him, my eyes stay wide awake. He turns off the light and silently changes with my back turned to him. I hear him then start to snore softly. Once I'm sure he's asleep I put a hand to my belly.

"I will get us out of here. I promise you, I won't let them take you. Mommy loves you and I promise to do anything and everything for you."
