Fallen

Chapter 25

I tried to avoid him but he was so close to me and he was so tall and muscular. I was kind of scared of what he was supposed to do to me. Was he going to kill me? To change me? No. I mean why would he want to kill me? Or change me? Or hurt me?

I looked at his face and his eyes were on me like he was scanning me or something. I turned around, about to walk back from where I had come. He grabbed my wrist, turning me around, forcing me to face him. There was no chance to escape. I wanted to run far away from him. There was something in the way he was looking at me that was scaring the shit out of me.

"What do you want?" My voice cracking, proving my fear.

"I was waiting for you." For me? What could he possibly want from me?

"Why?" My throat was dry. Even if I screamed, nobody would hear me. I could barely talk.

"Because I know that you have feelings for Liam." What the fuck is going on? I don't have feelings for Liam. Why would he even think that? He's insane.

"I don't have feelings for Liam. Why would you even think something like that? I don't even like him anyway. I hate him. He's an asshole. He pisses me off. How could you assume something like that?" Okay. I screwed my answer up. I need to learn how to answer with less and more convincing words.

"I can even see it in your eyes. When you talk about him, they're sparkling. Anyone could assume that, especially by the answer you just gave me. Not convincing enough, don't you think?" He said smirking.

"Okay yeah. I may like him. I admit that I have feelings for him. So what now? What do you want from me? He's not going to like me back anyway." I didn't even know where this conversation was leading us.

"He loves you. I know it." He is totally insane. Liam doesn't even want to be near me. He hates me. He said it himself.

"You don't know what you are talking about. He always starts random fights with me." I tried to defend my opinion.

"He does it because he loves you and he wants to protect you." He doesn't love me. What is wrong with this guy?

"Protect me from what?" Out of all the questions, I chose this one? Really?

"Both Alisa and you have already been in so much danger. You are still mortals, don't forget that." Still mortals? Oh boy.

"Alisa isn't anymore."

"What do you mean?"

"Her mother is Jane, Jake's wife, your master's." I looked in his eyes. They were pitch black.

"No way! She is a witch. She has black magic." He said with his mouth falling open.

"This is the truth, though. Jane took her." I said angry with what had happened.

"But what about you? You are in danger." Since when Harry cares about me. He barely knows me.

"You wanted to kill me and now you care about my safety?" I protested.

"I have always cared about you. You have something special." Is he drunk? No. He dosn't seem like it.

"Since when? Everyone hates me."

"Well I don't hate you." He smiled. I thought I saw something in his face. His smile was beautiful. Very beautiful and he had dimples. He was...nice.

"You don't act like it, though." I decided not to drool over his smile and move on.

"I can't do otherwise. I have to. Or else I'll be kicked out of the pack, too." He said apologetically.
