Temperance
The dinner was almost silent after the spat between Adam and me. There was light banter between the others but I kept my head down as everyone ate.
When the waiter comes back with our cards I could hear Vanessa whisper something. I glance at her, curious on why her figure is standing now.
"You know where we should go?" She leans forward, her red lips forming into a smile as her eyes glance between everyone.
"Vanessa that's not a good idea." Ace tells his girlfriend, sending a nervous laugh after his statement.
"What's not a good idea?" Arella stands, wiping herself off and pushing her chair under the table, causing all of us to do the same.
I grab onto Alec's arm, my eyes avoiding my buyer. "We should go to a club." Vanessa finishes her statement against Ace's wishes.
I can't help but smirk at her confidence in saying that in front of Adam.
As we step outside Adams voice erupts through the air, "You kids can go." It's obvious to say I'm shocked at his acceptance for this.
I'm not one for the party scene but if it means I'll have a break from Adam's glares I will be willing to go.
I could let go without judgement. Maybe not all the way. I still have to watch out for the five people that are after me. Sadly. And one of the five is in the restaurant we are standing outside of.
"If anything goes wrong, you know what to do." Adam sighs, waving over a familiar black vehicle that seems to be the car theme of the mansion.
We get into two different vehicles. Adam and Alisha in one. And a few bodyguards. And in the other car is everyone else.
*************
We dance in the middle with several other people. The music hurt my ears, and the lights blind me.
Arella and Salara are at a table taking shots. Alec, Vanessa, Ace, Connor, and Zander all dance on the dance floor with me.
As Alec spins me in a circle I lean my head back, letting my hair almost smack his chest. My eyes open in the middle of the spin, looking past the bright lights.
I can feel my blood stop as I spot the man who bought me. My blood feels like it's going in reverse, rushing out of my arms and legs and into the main part of my body. I stop, pain shooting in my limbs from the fear that shot through me.
He stares at me, a smirk forming on his lips as he lifts a glass up, as if it's a hi to me.
"Hey, I need to tell Zander something. I'll be back." I tell Alec. Before he can say anything, I slip in between two people trying to get to Zander.
When I reach him, I am shaking with fear. I can't tell Alec about my buyer following us. He would shoot him right here and now.
