Chaotic Fates (On-hold)

Chapter 22 : Missing

"Kindness doesn't need much, it just needs a heart that cares for someone other than itself."

******************************

The hollow void in my chest tightened as footseps from behind me went faster as my heartbeat quickned with it. Exerting my legs more than their capability. I strode deeper and deeper in to the dark and silent woods except the footseps that follow me from behind. I was alone and defenseless. I don't know why I was running but I had to get away from it. I didn't dare turn around to look at whatever was after me. Raggedly breathing, I bounced on the road.

Sweat dripping from the sides of my head as I ran from the monster. The woods made a path, leading to the edge of a cliff. I huddleed my hands on my chest, keeping my breath as steady as It could get. I had to jump. I don't know why but I had to get away from it. I frimly closed my lids. My ears suddenly picked up the sound of footseps coming nearer. I let go my hands to jump but I was pulled by it. I kicked,yelled trying to wiggle out of it's hold.

" No" I whisper yelled as my throat burned.

I opened my eyes and was greeted by the dull walls of the hospital and the smell of the detertgents. I soon realized where I was when I was reminded about the gunshot and lily

Lily! Where is she? I didn't even had time to think as a pain from my middle shot straight through my nerves. I winced, lightly touching the wound with my hands. I bit my lip when it stung from the touch I just applied. I tried to move my other hand as something held it tightly. I looked down and saw a Damien laying on the bed while holding my hands was tightly as if he didn't, I would fade away.

He didn't even wake up when I yelled. He must be very tired. His already messy hair looked even messier. I gently tired to move my hands out but he held me tighter,as I winced at his strong hold. He loosened his hold after a while I quickly slipped my hands out. His hands lazily searched for mine. When he can't find it, he got up and stared at me rubbing his eyes. He widens his eyes when he realizes that I woke up. He smiled,grinning from ear to ear.

" Where is Lil......?"

He cut me off, hugging me tight as his chest shook. Wait! Was she crying? I know I needed to explain what I did. I didn't think much about how much this was hard for him.

" How could you do that?" He sobbed.

I felt his tears flowing down on my cloth.

" I am sorry." I hugged him back, ignoring the immense pain, his strong arms crashing my bones.He quickly understood my discomfort and kissed my forehead, letting go as I wiped his tears. I know what I was willing to give up. I know that wasn't fair for him.

" Where is lily?" I asked and his face quickly turned in to a frown.

I know he doesn't like her,now that I have risked my life for her. I am sure he hates her more.

" I don't know after you were...sh.." he paused, "They took her."

I gasped, I was trying to save her and yet somehow it still happened anyway.

" What! Why didn't Suzy and Aby stopped them."

He glared,cussing " Are you fucking kidding me!", He pacing back and forth. " Well I don't know maybe because you were on the verge of death!"

" Okay you don't understand. I couldn't just let them take her!"

I was getting angrier by the minute.

" Why not? Abyssinia and Suzy did it!" He growled,his blue barring in to mine. " And you didn't stop to think once about what I will feel before deciding yourself!"
