glass touch

Chapter 29

I guess I hadn't realized the abundance of my stupidity up until this point in time with Cass's hand holding me by the neck against holding me by the neck against the wall, his fingers creeping up my neck like a spider creeps up in its web. Everything in the alley seemed darker then usual, even though it was an alley. It was as if a storm cloud had settled over just me whereas everyone else had a light aura surrounding them. It was like my fate had already come. My stupidity had sealed my fate.

And now Death's hand had me within it's reach.

Instead of looking at Cass, I looked at the world around me. a dark alley was as pleasant as my last glimpse of the world could get quiet. Maybe Cass would make it easy and give me a quick death or maybe it would be slow or agonizing. I didn't know Cass to well. I don't know his killing preference, though I do wonder how many times he has stolen the heart of a woman in the very literal sense that is happening to me now before this moment.

He spoke. "You aren't struggling anymore." Cass stated looking at me strangely. His hand fell from my mouth and even though he still kept me pinned, he wanted me to speak.

"Why?"

I didn't say anything. I don't want my last words to be aimed at Cass. He didn't deserve even an insult. Not even a spit in the face.

Such a cruel world where the innocent get prayed upon and the guilty ones are the killers, the one's who rip the very threads of the innocent apart slowly and carefully, as if weaving a quilt of forsaken yarn. I may not be innocent in all aspects but my record is clean not that a clean crime record maters when it comes to destiny.

If I were to utter my last words to someone right now which I sadly do not have the chance to do I'm not really sure what I would say to who. Maybe I would say them to Verena who had tried her best to keep me out of the path of danger even though she knew I wouldn't listen. Maybe I would thank her and appoligse and tell her not to worry about me and that my death would be quick. But if my last words were not uttered to Aaron my death would not be quick. I had to speak to Aaron if I was going to speak to anyone. My death will be slow without him or even the pain of death will hurt. The real pain will come from knowing I was never able to tell him how much I actually love him. Or maybe I would even to talk to Keiran and ask him why he always gave such a push towards-

Kieran!

Deep within Cass's group a pair of glowing green eyes with silver specks illuminated through the darkness of the alley. Kieran stepped in front of Cass and I. Oh thank God he was here! I wouldn't have to worry about uttering my last words to anyone, because those last words wouldn't come until decades down the road, Kieran was about to save me.

"Kieran!" I exclaimed. That was the first time I had spoken since Cass had taken me to this alley,

But Kieran didn't reach forward for me. he didn't push Cass who still had me pinned against the wall away from me. he just stood there with his hands folded behind his back and a grin on his face.

"Glad you could join us, Caitlyn."

I was about to tell him to help me. to say anything that would get me away from Cass... but then I realsied what was actually happening. Kieran wasn't here to save me.

He was part of Cass's group.

"It's a beautiful night for death isn't it." He asked me pacing back and forth in front of Cass

"I cannot wait to rip into you...." Cass practically hissed. He sounded completely twisted like a psychopath,

"In time Cassius in time," Kieran practically sand and I could see Cass grimace at the sound of his full name. Then Kieran stopped in front of me again this time closer. I could see something between Cass and Kieran they were definitelty working together but I could tell they dispised each other. With every step Kieran took towards Cass and I, Cass's face seemed even more irriated. "Oh, Caitlyn. You're so naïve so....innocent..."
