The vampire curse. F. Shelby

ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪᴠ

Lizley took Finn's hand slightly and squeezed it a little. And boy that human warmth felt good. Even in London she had missed human touch that secured her truly.

Finn's heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest as she did so. Her fingers were so thin and long as if she was a ghost. Her hand was cold as it slightly touched his skin making a knot built in his stomach. That touch was better than any drip on Tokyo he ever had. She took care after her skin with beauty products from America or something probably. And his mind for sure thrifted off ; he wandered what her skin somewhere else would feel like.

His fingers was rough as she touched it. As if he was a worker. But the skin on top was as soft as hers. She held his hand so tightly as if it was everything keeping her from falling down. But the truth was it was everything keeping her out of that painful, cruel world.

She looked at the book Finn held in his hands as they sat there as if they waited for a storm. Even if it was a little time period; the quietness made it so comfortable. Finn seemed to calm her.

But their peace was roughly torn apart with a woman storming through the front door. The two parted immediately as the blonde stopped in front of them.

"What the fuck are you doing here? Tommy wants you outta business" Finn snapped immediately but he was careful with his words.

"But he send me to check on her. Francis is taking care after Charlie so" She trailed off as she looked at Liz for the first time.

The woman seemed kind and shy. Liz heard her accent. But under all that innocence was probably a serpent ready to bite.

"Las we should get you dressed" The blonde spoke again as she looked at the blood on Finn's face.

"I'm old enough to do that myself thanks for asking" A vicious little smirk played on her lips as she glanced into Grace's eyes. But she decided to give her a chance at least so she nodded and stood up. Her blue eyes found Finn for a second before she walked up the stars with the blonde.

Back in the same clothes as yesterday she waited for whatever the peaky boy had planned. She had no idea why she was standing in the yard again just not with her hands tied together this time. 

She knew why she was waiting there with all the Shelby's including Finn as two black cars rolled onto the yard. Joy burned in her stomach as she saw the familiar brown hair. Tears of happiness and relief approached her as the man stepped towards their party. Their small party actually because just the Shelby brothers accompanied the little girl.

"Daddy" She brought out light as a feather as she already aimed to step towards him as well but Arthur Shelby pulled her back roughly caused Alfie to pull out a gun and point it at Tommy. Unsurprisingly Tommy did the same.

"Ya know mate I life with a whole shite tone of things. But there are bloody rules in this business" He spoke as he looked at his daughter painfully. "If ya wanna have your son, or brothers kids, or your bloody wife out again ya should let her go"

"Alfie" Tommy paused." Were all old enough. You betrayed me once. See this as a payment for this. See this as me cleaning up things and renewing our connection. If you or Sabini ever pull shit up again then the little pretty girl is dead" Liz's eyes were clouded from tears again as she listened to them.

Alfie took down his gun as he nodded slightly with his eyes on the floor as he couldn't manage to look at his daughter in that moment.

"If anything happens to her it's war. If she's not living in good conditions it's war. If any of your bastards puts their prick in her it's war" Lizley started to get angry. She wanted to march towards her father and hit him but Arthur held her back with all his force as he slung his arms around her little, angry frame.

"How can you do this to me ? How? " She screamed as the tears took their way out and her joy was like blown away.

Alfie couldn't look at her at all. It stabbed his heart to see his little girl cry and scream. But he couldn't do anything. He couldn't try to free her as it'd put her in danger.

It was a clever move from Tommy. Now he had London under his control because if Sabini would come at him Alfie would stop him and now the Jewish were in the palm of his hand like little pawns. 

Liz just wanted to cry as there was no one there who would comfort her. Her father had betrayed her and practically gave her to the enemy. She was alone in that new world now. She was alone in that city now trapped in the Shelby family. No one would care for her now in that dark place.

London eventually had something just a little pretty about it with it's architecture. Somehow a little charm not like cities like Paris but pretty though. Unlike Birmingham. Everyone was busy and sad and angry here and that seemed to affect the weather as well.

And now Liz was thrown into that as if she was a little toy. Now Tommy had the toy and with that the power.

Finn's heart ached again as he saw her breaking down in Arthur's arms as the Salomons started to go. Leaving her in the snake pit. He knew that she was completely alone now so he moved. To surprise of all his brothers he helped her up as she had fallen on the ground and hugged her as tight as possible so the world couldn't hurt her anymore.
