Bleeding Love

Chapter Fifty-Six: Rescuing Henri

Daniella wrapped her arms around Henri and held him close, she glared at Marc who wasn’t paying her any attention; she couldn’t believe that this was actually happening right now.

Her fingers smoothed through Henri’s hair trying to calm him, there was no sounds outside of the office where they were being held and Daniella doubted that there were a lot of people left alive now.

“It’ll be okay,” Daniella whispered to Henri, she would do anything to protect her son and she knew that she had to do something; her brown eyes looked around the room wondering how they could escape.

Henri nodded his head, he held onto his mother frightened that if he let go then he would be taken from her; he didn’t know what was going on but he didn’t like it.

“The slaughter is over,” Adrian announced stepping back into the room, he had gone to check on things and he was sure that people would be shocked by what had transpired that say.

Marc nodded his head, he turned his attention to Daniella and Henri knowing that he would have to plan his next step carefully.

Daniella closed her eyes, she didn’t have to be telepathic to know what Marc was planning; her stomach flipped at the idea of being separated from her son making her want to start lashing out.

“You know what to do,” Marc said nodding to Adrian, he turned to Daniella knowing that this would be the fun part; he walked over to the brunette as she held onto her son.

Daniella gently pushed Henri behind her, she glared at the male vampire; she didn’t know what he had planned now but she doubted that it was going to end well.

Adrian moved to take Henri while Daniella was quickly detained by Marc; he smirked dragging the brat out of the room, it was his job to make sure that Henri was kept out of the way.

“You can’t do this,” Daniella hissed struggling against the hold that Marc had on her arm, she couldn’t believe that this was happening; she glared at Marc wondering how no one had notice that he was plotting against them.

Marc pulled Daniella close to him, he had everything working out for him and he knew that the thing he wanted most was standing in his arms.

“I can do what I like… and you will do as you are told if you want to see your son alive again,” Marc said making Daniella stare at him, he smirked moving away from the brunette knowing that she would do anything for the little boy and he was counting on it.

Daniella watched him walk away from her, she had a feeling that everything had changed; she had no idea what to expect but Marc was clearly pulling all of the strings now.

“You better get ready… your public will want to hear that you are alive soon,” Marc mused not looking at Daniella, he had everything under control and he was sure that Daniella knew what would happen if she didn’t do as he said from now.

Gerard gritted his teeth watching Adrian drag his son down the corridor, he should have known that he was involved in whatever was going on; he snarled furiously under his breath knowing that the other vampire wouldn’t get away with this.

Moving silently to follow after Adrian and Henri, Gerard started to wonder where Daniella could be; he knew that Adrian wasn’t smart enough to master mind something like this and he hated to think who had planned all of this.

“Can’t believe that I’m stuck with you brat,” Adrian said annoyed that Marc was having him babysit and he was only complying because he was going to get paid.

Henri struggled a little against the male vampire’s hold on him, he glared at the man knowing that his mother was in danger and he had no idea what Marc had planned for her.

Henri stopped walking as he felt an odd tug in his mind, he was sure that it wasn’t his bond with his mother and he hoped that it was the weak bond he shared with his father.

“Why are you stopping brat?” Adrian snapped looking at the little boy, he didn’t have time for this and he didn’t want to get on the wrong side of a hunter; though he could easily offer them Henri in exchange for his life.

Henri glared up at Adrian, he guessed this vampire wasn’t as smart as Marc; he hadn’t even noticed that they were being watched.

“My name is Henri,” Henri said trying to pull away from Adrian, he could feel that someone was watching them and he had no idea what was going to happen next.

Adrian scoffed and moved to backhand the little boy, he didn’t care what his name was only that he got his money and would be able to leave Barcelona before trouble came calling after what had happened.

Henri flinched back from Adrian, he was already aware that the male vampire wasn’t afraid to hurt him; he had done so to get him out of school when Marc had sent him to collect Henri.

However nothing happened and Henri slowly opened his eyes to find his father breaking Adrian’s arm, he swallowed at the dark look in Gerard’s blue eyes.

“Gerard… you’re alive,” Adrian spluttered shocked to see the male vampire, he had no idea how Gerard had survived but he knew that there was no way that Gerard didn’t know what had happened.

Henri slowly backed away from his father, he knew that this wasn’t going to end well and he feared what he might do.

Gerard snarled furious that anyone would threaten his family, he wrapped a hand around Adrian’s neck knowing that this was the first person that he could hold accountable for the massacre that had happened.

Henri looked away as his father’s snarled furiously, he didn’t have to guess to know what was about to happen; he stayed silent until he felt someone touch him.

Henri slowly opened his blue eyes and stared up at his father, he wrapped his arms around Gerard’s legs; tears in his eyes knowing that so many people were dead.

Gerard took a deep breath, he glared that the destroyed body that had been Adrian; he knew that it didn’t make him feel better but it was a start.

“It’s okay,” Gerard murmured moving to comfort his son, he held him close knowing that the four year old didn’t deserve to be drag into this.

Henri whimpered, he held onto his father and he had no idea what was going to happened; he was scared and he just wanted his parents to keep him safe.

Gerard whispered comforting his son, he made gentle noises hoping to ease Henri’s mind, he couldn’t believe that someone had done all of this and he had a feeling that this person now had Daniella.

Henri clung onto his father, he didn’t want to let go and he was sure his father would leave him alone; he was sure that his mother needed help and he couldn’t think of what his father would do.

“I won’t leave you alone,” Gerard murmured looking at Henri, he would get his son to safety first and then he would go find Daniella; he couldn’t just leave her when he didn’t know what was going on and who was behind all of this.

“Where’s your madre?” Gerard asked brushing his fingers through Henri’s hair, he needed to find Daniella and he needed to find her soon; he hated to think what could happen while she was alone.
