My Broken Mate

10. Answers

He was angry and I could just feel his anger radiate off of him.

"What do you mean 'your parents'?"

I sighed as I sat up and looked straight at him. Giving him that look like you know who.

There he got up quickly pushing me away as he stood up by the bed.
"Why?!"

Sighing, I wrote as I went up to him and placed one of my hands on his face to look at me as I showed him.
'Nate I need answers..'

"No"

He pulled my hands away from his face and walked away towards the bedroom door.

I quickly followed behind, pulling him back. Showing my pleading hands to please let me.

"NO, I am not letting you go down there and see those fuckers that ruined your life" He tried to walk away once again, trying to grab his arm.

He quickly turned around and yelled once again. "NO!"

I froze, scared he may do something. I felt the tears in my eyes start to well up again. Gosh I am being way too emotional.

Slowly backing away with my head down, I just nodded, walking away to stop this conversation. Until I felt his hand tug me back towards him, pulling me into him.

"Love please. I don't want you down there with them. I don't want you anywhere near them. Please just let me protect you." He leaned his forehead against me.

Slowly I backed away, grabbing the pen and paper. 'I need closure'

There he stared at the paper, silent.
He pulled away as he walked to the bedroom door and opened it. About to walk out, I watched as he paused before turning towards me with his hand out.

"Come my love" Softly smiling, I reached out and grabbed his hand as he led me down the stairs.

As we walked, I noticed on every other step there was at least one guard. Then we turned a small corner, there were other set of stairs with one guard every other step.

Each step we took, I felt their stares, watching us till we made it to the last step.

Quietness and darkness hit. All I could see were cages on each side then a door at the very end.

Nate squeezed my hand to gain my attention as we continued to walk. Walking by the cages, was surprised to see they were actually mostly emptied out.

"We haven't had anyone in those for awhile. We set those who did their time with us and now they know not to mess with us again" he proudly said as I looked up at him, figuring he must have read my mind and to be honest didn't want to think no more about it.

As we reached the end of the hallway, there was a steel closed door.

But before we opened it, he stopped me and grabbed my face in his hands.
"I need you to know that before I open this door everything I have done is..."

Nodding my head, I pointed towards myself figuring he was gonna say to protect me. He learned down and kissed my forehead.

"In this room...is where we punish them for their crimes and sent off as a warning. They.. are in there..right now."

He signaled the guards at the door as they opened the door and there was a sight I didn't want to see.

Right in front of me were the people that I thought were my true parents, the people that had raised me to who I am.
