Recap

"You're coming with me. Both of you." They look at each other for a moment. Matt sighs.

"Ok but I'm driving." She gives him the ok and they both get in the car. Soon we're on the road, speeding to get to the house fast enough. It makes me nervous because speeding in a Jeep is very dangerous but we make it to the house in one piece.

I feel like I'm dying...

________________________________

The minute we pull up to the house, I'm relieved. The motion of the car wasn't making the situation any better. I'm sitting in the back seat, covered in sweat. For some reason it seems so hot even though I know it's not.

I can't feel anything but like I'm on cloud nine. I feel light as if I were floating. My vision is starting to become a little blurry but I can still see from a good distance.

I feel the car come to a halt. Matt and K get out the car rushing toward the back to get me. The door opens and I sit up a bit, wincing at the action, and wrap my arms around Matt's shoulders as he helps me get out the car. K closes the door behind me and comes back to help.

Matt bangs on the front door repeatedly until someone answers. The minute Delilah opens the door she looks down at all the blood and her eyes widen. She lets out a piercing scream and tuns down the hall.

"Dammit, just go in." We walk into the house and Nicholae instantly comes into view with a frightened Delilah standing behind him.

"What the hell happened!?!" Nicholae doesn't hesitate and rushes toward us. He examines my face and by the look on his, I know it's not good.

"Kai." Was all K says. Nicholae looks at her and Matt weirdly but doesn't say anything.

"Follow me. Delilah, get your brother." Delilah rushes up the stirs wasting no time.

I'm taken into the room Dakota was in when she was shot. They lay me gently on the table and I see myself in the mirror across from it.

My skin is flushed and I look almost....dead. How much blood did I actually lose? My vision is in and out, I look a mess, and I really wanted to introduce K differently.

"You've lost a lot of blood, Udria. Owen is going to give you some blood and I'll stitch you up. You're going to be fine, don't worry." He smiles sweetly before walking away.

Nicholae gives me reassurance I needed. Seeing the way I look scared me but I know I'm in good hands and I'll be okay. He start

Matt and Keisha have already left the room while Owen is now rushing in. "Hey stupid.." His serious expression disappears and he smiles at my comment, sitting on his knees so he's at my level. Nicholae starts drawing blood from his arm.

"You manage to be rude even while you're technically dying. Nicholae maybe we should let her bleed out..." I try to slap him but I have no energy, causing my hand to just drop.

He laughs a little at my attempt and kisses my hand. When his lips make contact with my skin, a wave of shock runs through my arm. I smile at the feeling and enjoy the moment, only for him to ruin it.

His face immediately turns stone cold as he watches me. His expression is deadly and I feel sorry for Kai because I know Owen will brutally hurt him.

"Who?" He says in such a deadly tone. I'm not surprised, though, because for a second I thought he was a little too calm coming in making jokes.

"I'll explain everything after don't stress it."

Of course he's going to stress it bitch, you just got stabbed!

"You expect me not to stress?! What the f-"

"I have your blood now you're free to go." Nicholae kicks Owen out but when he doesn't move, he drops his tools and stares at him. "I wasn't asking."

Owen sighs heavily before leaving the room.

"The last thing you need is him questioning you. I need to stitch you up quickly and you'll be good to go."

________________________________

Owen's POV

I listen to Nicholae an exit the room. I know she's in good hands and will be fine but I didn't want to leave her side. I feel like I need to be with her at this moment. But I will respect Nicholae's wishes and wait for her until she's done.

Seeing the way she looked in there made me worry. I have no doubts that Kai is the reason behind this. If she says it's him, I swear I'll kill that mother fucker.

"Woah, you look like you wanna burn the house down..." Sebastian stops me in my tracks, sticking his arms out.

"You know what? That's what I'm going to do... I'm going to burn that mother fucker alive." Thanks Seb! I continue walking and he follows behind. We make our way into the kitchen where everyone should be.

"You think Kai did this to her?" He asks.

"It's either him or John but John is in Peru on a business meeting. If he did do it, he must've hired someone. But I doubt. If he was to hurt her, he'll do it in front of me." He doesn't answer as we make our way into the kitchen.

I notice Delilah's puffy face and immediately walk to her. I lift her up and hug her. she wraps her tiny arms around my neck without hesitation. "Is she going to be okay?" her voice sounds muffled as she talks into my shoulder but I know what she's asking

"Yes, She's going to be fine." She lifts her face off my shoulder so I could see the huge smile on her face. I shake my head and send her reassuring smile before putting her down.

As I look around the table wondering why nobody is saying anything, my eyes land on two  people. I notice the woman from the mall, the one Udria always goes to visit. What's her name again?.....Kay? I honestly don't remember.

I don't recognize the guy next to her but their clothes are bloody so I'm guessing they were the ones that brought Udria.

"Who are you?" I simply ask, looking at the guy.

"Do you not remember me?" the woman asks.

"Not you, I know you. I'm talking about him." I nod my head toward him. She looks at him then me. He's simply texting on his phone but raises his head when he's done.

"I'm Matt." He says. I narrow my eyes at him. I look at him from head to toe, curious to how he's so calm and just texting someone when he's covered in someones blood. Udria's friend is surprisingly calm as well.

Of course my suspicions always get the best of me. It just doesn't seem normal. I walk around the Island toward them. I know I probably look like I wanna kill them, the way I'm walking up to them but that's not the case.

There's something about him and that makes me suspicious. And Udria's friend doesn't even smell like a homeless woman, No offense.

I stop in front of Matt, not too close but close enough. "Who do you work for?" I ask staring at him. I can feel everyone's eyes on the both of us as the watch.

"That, I cannot say, it's for Udria to know and whatever she decides to do with that information is up to her. I only answer to her. He responds with his head straightened, looking back at me. He's clearly not intimidated.

I only answer to her..........what the fuck why?!
