                                         CHAPTER 13
 
I felt someone shook me soft and I was sure that someone was calling my name. Well not my name exactly. Lucy. Oh yeah I was still with Cam. Cam who tried to strangle me. Nope there was no way I would got up until I was sure I was alone. I needed to get out of here as soon as possible.

''Come on Lucy.'' His voice was soft unlike I’ve been used to. He sounded almost…like he had regretted what he had done before.

''It’ll be too boring without you girly.''
 His finger reached my cheek and he stroke it gently, so gently that I shivered. I fight hard not to open my eyes. Maybe I was right and he had regret it. Maybe he was caring about me and just didn’t want to show it for some reason. Or maybe you’re being naughty and just because you like him you want him to be the good guy who will protect you. The voice inside my told me. No definitely not. I didn’t like him.. Duh who was I kidding? Of course I liked him. Even the way he rested his finger on my cheek now drove me crazy not to mention the way he had kissed me the night before. But I shouldn’t feel the way I felt now. I mean yesterday he almost killed me. However I knew I couldn’t help it. It just happened.  Then you should stop it or prevent it somehow. My voice said. Before it’s too late.

''Okay..lets try this.'' I heard him say and he pulled away his finger. I didn’t heard him for a few seconds and then… Then he start tickling me. A laugh escape my mouth as I got up and pulled away.

''You’re smart girly but you cant fool me.'' A half smile played on his lips.

''So..you are tickle.. ''He came closer and I went back extending my hand in front of me.

''Don’t you dare touch me.'' I warned him.

''You just said the magic word girly.'' And then he attacked me. I fell back on the bed laughing and screaming at him to stop but seems like he enjoyed it so he kept on tickling me.

''No! Stop it!!'' I tried to grab his hand but I couldn’t, he was way faster. What are you doing? He almost killed you last night remember? But I ignored the voice and keep trying to catch his hand. If I was gonna die at least I should enjoyed it.

''Cam no!'' I tried again and he laughed at my reaction

''No way girly.'' He continue with a wide smile on his face. A surprisingly genuine smile on his face. He tried to kill you, the little voice inside my said and it was right. He indeed tried to kill my last night but… I just couldn’t reject him that way. Maybe I’ve pressured him to much or something? He had saved me after all he couldn’t just kill me. He might have changed his mind. I managed to grab his hands and I hold them. I stop laughing and I became serious again as a flashback of his hands on my neck came rushing back.

 ''You…tried to kill me.'' My throat felt dry like I haven’t drink anything for a long time. My back went on the wall as I pulled back and let go of his hands.

''Luce… ''He breathed and met my gaze

''We both know that… this is gonna happen either way. You know it. Why are you so surprised?'' His hand reached for my chin and as he took it I stayed very still with my heart pounding.

''Because… because I thought you..liked me.'' The words were out of my mouth before I could stop them. He stare at me in disbelief for a second and then smiled.

''Girly you’re just a toy to me. If I haven’t kill you yet is only because I wait for Lucifer to tell me to do so. That’s why I haven’t killed you yet. I’m not in love with you and I’m not your friend. Whatever feelings you have for me… It’s only you you feel like that not me. ''

''But that night in my room-''
 
 I felt tears burning at the corner of my eyes ready to fall down. I didn’t want to cry in front of him, didn’t want to show him how much it hurt me what he just said. Like he didn’t knew how I felt about him because I wasn’t supposed to feel that way, I did. My heart was pounding when he touch me, my whole body shivers when he kisses me and that night on my place…Was the best night of my life. I couldn’t ignore all of this forever even thought I knew how twisted it was to feel that way for him. And maybe it was already too late to just erase those feelings.

''That night in your room… Well.. men have needs you know. '' His ironic smile make me wanna slap him.

''So you just banged me only for your entertainment?'' I demanded and he struggle.

''You can say that. And just to be clear I don’t feel anything about you and when the time comes I wont hesitate to drive a knife through you heart.''  My hand reacted on his own but before I could do anything he grab it inches away from his cheek

''What is it Lucy? The truth hurt you?''

''Shut up!'' I yelled and the tears I’ve been holding back for a while now, escaped.

''You’re falling for me aren’t you girly?'' His grip loosen at my hand and he let it go. I wiped the tears of my eyes with the back of my hand but it was too late. He had already guess what I didn’t even dared to admit to myself.

''Well.. too bad isn’t it?'' He said and he pulled back

''Why you’re such a jerk?'' My voice rose and echoed in the room.

''I’m not a jerk Lucinda. Just selfish and bad. Because when you’re weak you don’t succeed anything. I was nothing before I decide to follow Lucifer and I hated it.''

''No… '' I whispered feeling more tears coming to my eyes but of course I couldn’t stop them. His hand caught my chin again and lift it so I could look directly in his eyes. His fingertips on my skin gave me the sensation that I was burning.

''That’s how life is it Luce. If you care about others you lose. I did that mistake before and I ain’t gonna do it again. I wont let history repeat herself. And whatever you feel for me… It would be better if you forget it for your own good. It is a matter of a few days before Lucifer give me the command to kill you.''  My voice couldn’t come out, it was stuck in my throat and my stomach was a knot. A sob get out of my lips but instead of saying anything else, he let go of my chin and got up to his feet.

''I’m gonna bring you something to eat. Don’t you even dare try to get out.''
 He turned his back on me and walked away and out of the room. The moment I heard the door closing behind him I start sobbing silently.

 After a while I heard the door open again and I had to take a few deep breaths before I face him again. I try not to give so much attention on what had happened because that way I would only make it harder to myself.

''Luce? Are you here?'' This voice didn’t belonged to Cam. It was a female’s voice, a voice I recognized within seconds. Arianne’s voice. I rose to my feet and run down the stairs.

''Oh thank God you’re alive!''  Before I even got closer she held me into a small embrace for a few seconds

''Arianne how did you-''

''Not now. We have to get out of here, come on.''  She grab my hand and literally drew me out of the house. She came to a halt and freed my hand. And then she extended her wings. I start to get used to those angelic stuff now. Just like Cam’s wings there were huge and tall, so huge that I wonder how a tiny body like hers good afford them.

''Turn around.''
She ordered. I did and she caught me by my waist and just like Cam had done she lift me up to the sky.


 Watching the house I was in for 4 days gave a feeling of happiness that I wouldn’t be there again. I was now free and safe, Arianne would find a way to protect me from Lucifer ad finally I would be able to learn all of my questions. And Cam… Since he was the enemy there was no doubt I would see him again. However until then all the feelings I may had for him would go away, they had to didn’t they?
