Fallen

Chapter 33

Kathie's POV.

I was sitting all alone. Headphones on. My mind couldn't think of anything but Alisa. We had to save her. I had to make it up to her. I was a terrible person, sister and friend. She would never do anything like that to me but yet I betrayed her. 

I couldn't believe we had come to that point because of me. I got us in so much trouble. I was so stubborn and selfish. Liam was right. I just didn't want to admit it. My curiosity always led me to problems. But this wasn't just a simple problem. 

I was about to fall asleep when I felt someone sitting next to me. It was the person who had stolen my mind. Liam. He smiled at me. It was the first time I was seeing his smile. His genuine smile. He was..beautiful. Was I falling for him? That hard? No. I wasn't. I couldn't. He sure as hell didn't feel the same. I had fallen for someone in the past and I didn't want to go through this again. After all, I had stopped believing in love since that terrible experience and those people who were in love with each other seemed so ridiculous to me. 

"I brought you something to eat." He was being so nice. Too nice for a person that was supposed to hate me.

"I am not hungry. Thank you, though." I smiled at him. 

"You haven't eaten anything in the past few hours. Why don't you eat something?" 

"I just don't want to." I shrugged him off.

"Look. We will find Alisa. There's no need to worry."

"Do you really believe that?" I really wanted to know what he was really thinking.

"I do believe it. Now eat something. We're almost there. You must gain some energy." This behaviour was really unlike him.

He stood up, putting the food he had brought me in my lap. He was about to leave but I grabbed his hand pulling him back.

"Thank you." I nodded smiling slightly. He just nodded back appreciating my choice of words.

I was left alone once again. The next days were going to be the hardest and longest days in my whole life. I ate what Liam had offered me and I fell asleep. I hadn't slept in days.

After a long time asleep, I felt a tapping at my shoulder. I opened my eyes and saw James standing in front of me.

"James? What happened? Are we finally in Egypt?" I asked rubbing my eyes.

"Yes, Kathie. You fell asleep. Come on sleepy head. Stand up." He joked. He always knew how to make me feel good. But I lost him. For good.

I saw a man waiting for us as we headed to the exit of the airport. Zayn got closer to him and started talking to him. Then, they both approached the rest of us. 

"This is Peter. He will be helping us for as long as we'll be staying here." Zayn said.

Everyone exchanged stares with each other. It was like words didn't exist, like they were talking with each other only by staring, by using only their eyes. 

After a few seconds, Peter's gaze fell on me. My heart was pounding like crazy. 

"Hello, Kathie." He said emotionlessly.

"Hello. How do you know me?" Stupid question, Kathie. Think straight.

"I know much more than you think I do. And because I know that you are wondering, yes, I am a vampire." He said grinning.

"That means that I.."

"No, Kathie. I am not going to hurt you. You forget once again that you are Liam's wife." Yes and he had to remind me. All vampires were assholes.
