Lie Some More

If I told you, I'd have to kill You

"Please tell me what's happening Sam," I pleaded.

"If I did, I'd have to kill you," He was dead serious. I buried my face in his chest.

"What are you?" I just had to know. I heard him sigh for the second time.

"Let it go Erin. Alex and I..we don't let anyone else in our lives," I knew how it felt being alone. I was sorry for them.

"You've already let me in," I told him.

"And it was a mistake," I didn't expect the tears that fell from my eyes. His body stiffened as he felt my tears in his skin.

"Erin..I.." I cut him off.

"I know what you mean," I said dryly.

"No! You don't. Please let me explain," He was defensive. Sam was about to open his mouth again when Alex darted into the room. 

His eyes settled on Sam and I and a smirk grew on his face but vanished instantly.

"We need to go," He announced. Sam was already on his feet while I was still trying to process what Alex just said.

Sam started packing my stuff while I tried to get on my feet. "Why?" I asked but no one answered.

"Where are we going?" I tried again. Still, nothing.

"Someone answer me!" I yelled as loudly as I could. Both men stared at me with disbelief.

"No time to explain babe. Just get dressed," Alex ordered.

"No! Not until one of you tell me why!" Anger was growing inside me.

Alex looked straight into my eyes while taking a step closer to me. This wasn't the Alex I was used to.

"Don't forget your place Erin! I bought you! I OWN you! If I tell you to get dressed, then dammit you'll get dressed!" He didn't let me answer and walked out of the room.

I was speechless.

"If you know what's best for you, then you better do what he says," Sam followed his brother.

I did as I was told and rushed downstairs. Alex yanked my arm and dragged me into the car. He shut the door and in an instant he was in the driver's seat.

"Where's Sam?" I asked.

"He'll follow us in his car," Alex answered coolly. "And no! I won't answer you damn questions!" He continued.

Alex drove like a mad man. My breathing rate increased as he was going to fast.

I closed my eyes and told myself everything was a bad dream.
