Desire or Revenge (Cancelled)

Chapter 16: The Raid

Kai's eyes instantly saddened as he watched me take the call. My ears pained as I listened to Hunter scream through the speaker on my phone, I couldn't take it, so I ended it. I slowly put the phone back into my purse.
"He still calls you huh..?" Kai said blankly, trying to show no emotion.
"It's not like I want to call him, why would I, when I have you..." I said as I pecked his lips with a quick kiss and turned to go into my house, alone.

I felt so lost and upset, I could have had a wonderful night with my company, and yet Hunter ruined it, again! He ruins everything, I want him gone and yet I still think about him. Tears of disappointment streamed down my face as I walked up my stairs in the dark. Each step felt like an eternity in sadness.

*Quiet noises*
My almost closed eyes, opened wide into action. I could hear rustling on the top floor. My heartbeat was rapid against my chest and I had butterflies fluttering in my stomach. Shit I thought, what do I do? Call Mickey?

There was someone in my house and the footsteps were getting louder with each passing second. I ran back down stairs and grabbed the knife closest to me for convenience. I took a deep breath, "I can handle them" I said to myself for confidence.  I began to walk up the  stairs again in my red dress, high heels and the knife in my right hand.

If a fight would break out, it would sure be an uncomfortable one in the dark. I reached the room where the intruders were and with a deep breathe I turned the doorknob to my bedroom. I opened the door to 3 men sitting on my bed, who I recognised immediately.
"Phoenix... we've come to pay a visit!" Said Stefan, the leader of Coltelli smirking, turning his moustache into a slight smile too.
I instantly backed away when I saw the guns in their hands. Stefan shrugged as he got up, along with his 2 henchmen.

"Don't go Phoenix..."
"It's Alexa now!" I shouted as I ran down the stairs. I felt hopeful as I ran towards my unlocked front door about to swing it open, when I felt a tight grip on my arm pushing me back. I turn around to Stefan holding my arm with his gun at my forehead.

"LET ME GO!" I cried in terror as I was being held against my will by a man I despise. I tried to pull my arm away, struggling so hard. My eyes were fixed on the shiny black gun pointed at me. I screamed and screamed, warm tears streaming down my face.

"We just want a talk Alexa." Said Stefan pressing his gun against my forehead. I was petrified and I was shaking. I began to lose consciousness out of fear I presume.
Suddenly the door was kicked down, almost knocking me and Stefan out, but it just missed us. While my eyes had almost blackened out, I saw a figure standing at the door running over to Stefan and punching him across his jaw. I saw Stefan fall to the ground and then getting up and running out the door. The mysterious figure then went to get the henchmen.
Just as my eyes closed, I saw another figure at the door, and then darkness.

I felt someone carry me, someone familiar. My eyes were still closed but I was able to feel, and talk.
"Kai..?" I said in a hoarse tired voice.
"Uhh, no Alexa, it's-" replied the figure holding me.
"Hunter..."

While I was half asleep, I could comprehend that it was Hunter. Despite everything, I felt safe with him, well safer than with Stefan.

He walked up the stairs carrying me and put me on my bed which felt so good!
But then I realised! Was Hunter going to take advantage of me? He's the type to do that...

I instantly opened my eyes and moved away from the bed in panic.
"You... you wanted to take advantage of me didn't you?! And how were you at my house during my attack!? Where are the Coltelli?!" I yelled. I was finally awake, this was Hunter, not Kai, Hunter is different, I should not have felt safe in his arms...

"What? No Alexa, I would never take advantage of you and Coltelli are gon-"
"Get away from her, Hunter!" Yelled Kai storming in. Kai was here, he was the second figure!
"Kai!" I cried running to him for a hug. I, however stopped running before I reached him as I realised that Kai and Hunter have finally met each other and I'm supposed to date Hunter.

My heart broke as I watched Kai stand there with his arms open, waiting for me.
I looked back and forward between the two of them. Damn, I thought, what do I do?
I had forgotten about the whole Coltelli raid as I stood in the middle of the two men, literally, figuratively and metaphorically.
It was so uncomfortable and awkward, I was in a love triangle even though I wasn't exactly dating either of them...

My palms felt sweaty and my butterflies once again made a home in my stomach.
"I think you should both leave." I said "I'm fine now, thank you guys."
They left the house with confused faces whilst I watched them walk away through my window. I felt alone and I wanted both of them, yes there was a longing for Hunter too, but why..?
