The Gifted 7

☆Chapter 21☆

~Sabina's Pov~

I heard a lot of commotion from outside the room where I was locked.

It seemed like someone was fighting, but who?

A few minutes later the door to my cell-room opened and when I saw the person they were carrying inside my eyes went wide with shock and horror.

'No!Not him.Not my mate.' I thought as I felt fear course through my body.

He looked to be unconscious when they brought him in and just dropped his body on the floor beside the bed where I was laying down,where they thought I was still tied up too.

After that they left and made sure to lock the door on their way out.

As soon as the door closed, I got out of bed and went beside Jaebeom in seconds.

I picked him up with a bit of difficulty and placed him on the bed.

I checked the hands and the face of the man I've missed the most and I noticed several cuts that were slightly bleeding and the bruises he had gotten.

The state he was in brought tears to my eyes,but I refused to let them fall.

Because the place where they were keeping us,I had figured out was practically supposed to be a hospital, it had a lot of medical supplies.

I took a small bottle of disinfectant and gauze from one of the cabinets on the other side of the room and then I sat down next to him and started cleaning up the cuts on his arms and face.

When I approached my hand near his lip to clean the blood and disinfect the small cut,he instantly opened his eyes and by instict caught my hand putting a lot of pressure on his already tight hold,that it made me wince in pain.

"Jaebeom,it's me.It's Sabina.Please let go,you're hurting me." I said,but he didn't stop.

It was as though he couldn't stop, instead he pushed me on the floor.

The fall hurt,but the look of pain and hate in his eyes hurt even more.

Physical pain I was used too and I could handle it, but the emotional one, that was the hardest one to overcome,especially when the one hurting you is the man that you're supposed to love and that's supposed to love you.

"Jaebeom,please stop!It's me,your mate. Don't you recognize me?"I plead him to listen,to recognize me,but he didn't.

I looked at his eyes intently and I saw nothing,like someone was controlling him.

When I noticed him charging at me to attack,I quickly stood up and moved backwards,away from him.

He stalked my every move getting closer and closer to me,just like a predator that's ready to attack it's prey,until I had no where to go.

He took a few steps towards me and then grabbed me by the neck.

"Please Jaebeom,just recognize me.I don't want to hurt you,so please come back to me."I said as the tears I had been holding back,ran down my face.

He looked conflicted for a few seconds, but that didn't last long as his hold around my neck got tighter and tighter.

Not once did I use my fighting skills or my powers to hurt him since I knew he wasn't himself,instead I raised my hand slowly and placed it on his cheek.

He learned his head slightly to my touch and that gave me hope that he was in there,that they weren't controlling him 100%.

I raised my other hand and placed it on his right hand and his hold around my neck loosened a bit,but I still had difficulty on breathing and my eyes were starting to lose focus and close slowly.

"If this is what you really want,then I don't mind dying from your own hands. Just know that...I love you, baby!" I said as I closed my eyes and waited for him to decide what to do.

"NO!!!GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!"He screamed out,not more then one minute later after I had said that and he removed his hand away from my neck and I fell,again.

I opened my eyes and saw his tear streaked face and the look of horror in his eyes.

He took one step forward towards me, but then as he realized that he caused this,he instantly took a few steps away from me and then fell on the floor on his knees,holding his head tightly between his hands.

I placed my hands on the ground to help me get up and get to Jaebeom.

He needed to know I was okay, that it wasn't his fault and that we'd both be okay.

I managed to successfully get up and as I took one step towards him,he shouted at me saying:

"Don't!Don't come near me.They're still trying to get into my head and I don't want to hurt you again."

"I don't care.You're my mate and it wasn't your fault.I don't blame you."I said as I dismissed his words.

I sat down on my knees as well in front of him and I placed my hands on his face raising his head to look at me, but he kept his eyes down and the fact that he couldn't even look at me in the eyes was breaking my heart.

"Jaebeom look at me."I whispered softly.

"I can't...I hurt you.Controlled or not,I hurt you when I promised I'd protect you. I'm just a weak and pathetic human." What he said stunned me and made me angry,so I slapped him.

"How dare you say that about yourself? If you were weak then I'd be dead right now."I said, but even after that he still avoided my eyes.

"Stop avoiding me and look me in the eyes god damn it." I said as I was getting more upset and angrier by the second.

He didn't look at me,not once.

By now I was seething with anger,but then I started calming down as I got an idea.

"I swear to god,if you don't look at me right now Jaebeom...I'll kiss you." I fake threatened him with a small smile on my face.

In seconds his eyes locked with mine after I said that and his shocked face expression at my words, made me smile even more.

"I don't care if you're human or even an alien for that matter,I just care about you,the real you and you're stronger than you think.So don't you dare think otherwise."I said.

"But what if I-..."He started saying, but I interrupted him by saying:

"You won't lose control and if you do I'll be right by your side,always."

"That's what I'm afraid off,because I don't want them to make me hurt you again." He sighed heavily,as he was about to break eye contact with me again after saying that.

I didn't want to feel like he was rejecting me,so I did the only thing that came to mind.

I threw my arms around his shoulders and hugged him tightly.

As soon as he recovered from the slight shock from my sudden move,he hugged me back just as tightly by wrapping his arms around my waist and after he placed his head on my shoulder,he whispered:

"I love you so much and I don't want to lose you again."

We stayed seating on the floor for a while hugging, until we heard the door open and our short happy moment was ruined by someone's remark.

"Say goodbye to your human Sabina, cause that's the last time you'll be seeing him."

I hope you like it. Until the next chapter I'M 1 OUT 😄.
