Rejected Love {COMPLETED}

22- Rescuer

Sya's POV:

I sneezed for the 20th time since Elijah had brought me here. I had no idea how long that was either but it felt like years already. I couldn't tell if it was day or night outside because there was only a tiny window in this moldy room and it didn't even show the sky. Just the tunnel to the sewers. My throat was dry, I never got to eat my cheeseburger and a loon was keeping me here by force, seeking something from my boyfriend.

Speaking of whom, I did have enough time to think about the fact that Kane was a vampire. And I realized, I was pretty okay with it. I was kind of put off about the fact that he never told me but I guess it was never easy to reveal something as big as this to the person your heart was bound to.

His heart was mine. He had no choice but to love me. And I felt drawn to him too. No, not just drawn, I loved him with my everything. He was the first person to love me. The first person to hold my hand and tell me he loved me with all my insecurities and scars included. He didn’t even see them. I couldn't get mad at him for not telling me. I was his mate. And that was a huge deal. He could never hate me. And he never did either.

It felt surreal, honestly. Having a person all to myself. And someone as kind and handsome as Kane too. But would I ever get to tell him all this? That just as he had accepted me and loved me with all my scars, I felt the same way? Oh, God. I should've just told him. I should've told him what he meant to me with a little more emotion, a little more love.

Why wasn't he coming though?

The rusted metal door opened and Elijah stepped inside, that stupid grin still plastered to his face. I didn't even have the energy to move. I stared at him in anger as he leisurely walked towards me. He crouched on the ground, staring at my face.

“I've waited a long time but seems like your mate doesn't want you,” he said, his mouth stretched in that sickening grin. “Although, that would be a terrible loss for him. You're so pretty.”

He traced his finger down the side of my face, making my insides curl with disgust.

“What do you want Elijah? Just let me go already!” I spat.

He laughed. “You're not going anywhere. Even if he does come, he'll meet his end. And I get to keep you as my pet.”

My eyes bulged. “W-What do you mean?”

“You know, I don’t have to wait too long for that to happen,” he moved forward. I tried to crawl away but my back was already against the wall so there was no possible way I could’ve avoided him. I found myself wishing I was dead already.

Kane where are you!

He grabbed my arm and yanked me closer to him. He used his other hand to trace my arm before slipping it under my shirt, his fingers grazing my bare skin.

Tears formed in my eyes and I bit my lip to stop them. I was shaking all over and feeling disgusting.

Before he could do anything more, however, we heard a noise. And another. He stood up, glancing at the door suspiciously.

“Huh, what's that?” he walked outside, slamming the door shut behind him.

My heart was beating so fast and I finally let out the sob I'd been holding back. If I ever got out of here, if I had the chance to live, I'd scrub myself until I bleed first.

I couldn't hear anything even though I tried my best to listen. No noises of a struggle at all. Was it Kane or was Elijah going to be back?

Fear crawled over my body. I’d rather die than let him touch me. I looked around for something, anything, to open these stupid chains with. I spotted a glass bottle lying at a distance. That wouldn't work but I should keep it for self-defense. I managed to make it roll towards me using my foot and broke it. Then I examined the lock on the chains. There was no way I could break through these.
