Part 16

RECAP

"So we meet again" He said laughing manically.

PRESENT DAY

I watched as he got up from the floor rolling out his shoulder before walking towards me. For ever step he took forward I took back I couldn't have his again luckily I knew exactly where the door was and I was planning  on making a break for it as soon as I felt the door. We carried on the steps until I felt the door handle against my back. I reached behind me just as he lunged at me.

I ran out the room with him hot on my trail. I sped into the kitchen to find Xander sitting at the counter. He looked up to see me looking in a panicked state walking over to me pulling me to his chest. I shook hard knowing that he was here. I was going to die this time he would make sure of it.

"What's wrong Princessa" he asked. I heard him laugh and Xander stiffened at the noise. He pulled out a gun from his back pocket. Xander shoved me behind him and aimed at the door frame.

"Wow Grace you move on quick I knew you were a slut just as much" Justin said

"pequeño hijo de puta"

(you little fucker)

"crees que no entiendo lo que dices por qué no lo dices en inglés estoy seguro de que a Grace le encantaría ver este lado de ti Xander mostrarle lo desalmado que eres lo mucho que realmente significacrees que no entiendo lo que dices por qué no lo dices en inglés estoy seguro de que a Grace le encantaría ver este lado de ti Xander mostrarle lo desalmado que eres lo mucho que realmente significa para ti"

(you think I don't understand what your saying why don't you say it in English I'm sure that Grace would love to see this side of you Xander show her how heartless you are how much she really are)

I have a feeling Xander didn't want me to hear what he had to say however I understood what they had both said. Before I knew it I heard a gunshot before I heard a body collapse.

I shut my eyes hoping that it was Justin and not Xander. I felt arms go around me which were a good sign that it was Xander.

"come princessa, come" he whispered.

I stood again only to fall again when I saw his body lifeless on the floor. Xander picked me up and walked over his body like it was nothing. I suppose one life is nothing compared to the amount of people he's killed. I snuggled into his chest. No judging here he was comfy and I was tired so sleep it was.

"princesa de buenas noches" he said.
(Goodnight princess)

"buenos días Xander" I replied back listened to his slight elevated heartrate before it went back to normal. Odd.

(Good night Xander)
Xanders POV

She knew Spanish. Does that mean she heard what I said and what Justin said. Justin was the leader of a rival gang and killing him wasn't the best option but he was after Grace. She was mine. I didn't care how many people I had to kill to show people that. I loved her. I only came to terms with it when she could have been taken from me.

I walked upstairs with Grace sleeping in my arms. This girl can sleep any where yeesh. I reached her room to see the creepiest thing in the thing in the world. There were thousands of pictures of her when she was out, in the mansions grounds, in the underground and in her room. How the hell did he get photos of her in her room.

I placed her down on her bed before looking round her room searching for a camera or a bug whatever they were using I want it going. I searched every where but couldn't find anything. I decided I didn't want to leave her in a room where there could be a camera watching her every move so I did what I thought was rational.

I picked her back up and called for Pirate . I watched as his head popped up from the bed and he climbed down from it strolling over to us sniffing graces feet before walking ahead of us. We had been getting closer with each other after the other night. I don't think he saw me as a threat anymore.

I walked into my room before putting Grace in bed and stripping down to my underwear. I jumped into bed hoping I didn't regret this in the morning. I watched her face. It was so peaceful while she slept but I knew it was the complete opposite of that. Her life was hell and I was determined to help her through it.

I came to the conclusion. Grace was my weakness. I will do everything in my power to keep her safe and to hopefully be with her. I watched as her nose scrunched up and watched as she stretched.

"Qué horas son" she asked sleepily

(what time is it)

"¿por qué estás hablando en español princesa"

(why are you speaking in Spanish princess)

"¿por qué no, todavía no has respondido a mi pregunta"she said

(why not, you still haven't answered my question)

"2:30" I said. she rolled over and groaned into her pillow. "anddddd she back" I laughed

"culo de perra"

(bitch ass)

"Now princessa there was no need for that" I said laughing. She grumbled something into her pillow which I didn't catch so I did the first thing that came to my mind. I leaned over to her before pulling her over so I could see her face. "what did you say Hermosa" I said leaning closer to her

(beautiful)

"I'm hungry" she said laughing. I chuckled before getting up out of bed.

"Want a piggy back there" I said turning round. I heard her laughing but trying to keep it quite for all the boys but really failing. I raised my eyebrows before walking out the door. I heard her feet on the floor before nothing then I felt her jump on my back "See I knew you couldn't resist"

"please have you felt how cold the floor is" she said shivering

we went into the kitchen getting food before she fell asleep on the island. Really. is she taking the piss. I laughed at her antics before picking her back up for the third time this morning and went straight back to bed. Her back was to my chest while I wrapped my arms round her.

It was the first time in months I had felt so alive and light. Grace made me feel like that and not a cold hearted killer.
