Kidnapped (UNREVISED)

Book 2. Chapter 14

"You don't belong to him Elizabeth, you can choose." His eyes bore into me and I thought he would shatter me. 

"Are you listening?" He asked when i failed to respond. 

I loved him. Or maybe i just loved the idea of him. I couldn't run away with him. But a part of me wanted to so badly. 

"Why is it so different now? I remember everything, every person i was and you were never there."

"I was! You didn't remember because Alec always made it his goal to keep him all to yourself. Don't you get it? You don't have to choose him. This could be the time you change your mind." He rubbed my cheek with his soft touch and I was ready to say yes to this new life that awaited me. 

"Okay Luke, I choose you. This time i'm going to choose you." His eyes beamed and he picked me up and hugged me, covering me with kisses. 

"Yes! Yes!" He covered my face with his complete hands and there were tears in his eyes, my cheeks were in pain from smiling so much. 

"Elizabeth? What are you doing here? " I saw as a dark figure walk out from under a dark streetlight and my heart dropped to the bottom of my stomach, Alec.

"I thought.." He bit his lip and his words failed him.

It was eerie silent and i could practically hear myself breaking his heart and he takes in what is happening right in front of him. 

"I'm sorry Alec but she chose me this time, she should be able to choose." Luke stepped up in front of me protectively and for a split second i was doubtful.

"Okay." He nodded and walked away, but he stopped and turned back around.

"Whatever he's promised you. He is lying, he isn't who he claims to be, i've opened myself up to you from the beginning, i never lied to you." With his words floating in the air, he finally disappeared.

"I don't know Luke, I don't think I can do this anymore. I don't want to chose. I've made up my mind." I crossed my arms in front of my chest and I wanted to turn invisible. 

What had I done?

Luke took a few steps away from me and he hung his head in his hands. I heard what sounded like weeping and just as I was about to comfort him, his head shot up and roared of laughter.

"I didn't know why I thought it would work. You will ALWAYS chose him, you're so naive and stupid." His laughter continued. 

"Luke-" The hurt must be flashing across my face, cause it only infuriated him more.

"Am I not good enough? Is that it? I don't understand so please Elizabeth why don't don't you help me understand why it's him, why is it always him?" His hands flew up into the hair and fell down hard on his sides. 

"Luke I'm not choosing!" I screamed at him, his logic was crippling him, consuming him. 

"Yes you are! You always chose him! I love you and I want you to chose me. I need you to chose me." He placed his forehead against mine and caressed my cheek but i pulled away shaking my head.

"I can't chose, so I'm not choosing anyone. I chose myself." I stepped closer to him making him understand, but it only got him angrier.

He tried to make me understand him by pulling me into a kiss but his angry overwhelmed him when i tried to pull away, and him power of electricity shocked me. I tried to pull away but he though i was pulling away from his kiss, so he pulled me in closer. The shock waves of electricity hit me stronger and then i was lying on the floor unable to move or breathe.
