SPLIT

Chapter 13

I don't belong here.

I wasn't made for this type of life.

I've been here in Faylea for two weeks now. Two weeks more than I would've liked but each passing day I just get more and more miserable. I don't know how they lived like this , doing the same thing everyday. Sure Norview wasn't the best place to grow up in but atleast I had a little excitement and diversity in my life. I wake up everyday knowing what the day will bring , what to expect and I couldn't fight my feelings of missing my mom and Charlie like crazy. I knew I had to go home. I just didn't know how I was going to tell Linus...

"Hey ! You're up. So I was thinking; after breakfast maybe you and I could go to the -"

"I have to talk to you about something..." I said feeling guilty already while I watched him look concerned.

"Um,okay. Let's take a seat." I had no idea where to begin or how to say it. He's been nothing but kind to me and so hospitable . This wasn't going to be easy...

"I'm leaving."

"Leaving ? What do you mean you're leaving ?" He said confused but also seeming a little ticked off.

"I mean I'm going home. To Norview. I miss them like crazy and I really appreciate you welcoming me into your home but -"

"You ungrateful little tease." He said hostile making me very uncomfortable and a little scared.

"Look , Linus I didn't mean to offend you. You have a lovely home and this place is... very beautiful but you have to understand , I have to go home. " I said nervously - backing up towards the door- while he took dangerous steps towards me.

"I understand completely. But now that you're here , we can't just let you go." He said but I didn't see his lips move.

"What ?" I said uncertain seeing him smirk and step to the side revealing yet another Linus. At this point I was so shaken and disoriented by what was unfolding infront of me that my body started hyperventilating -resulting in me going into shock - and ultimately fainting. I let myself fall at my captors mercy and there was nothing I could do about it.

*Charlie's POV*

Two weeks. Two weeks I've been coming to this stupid tower to check up on her. I don't even know why I bothered anymore. I could hardly see anything and when I did, she was always looking happy as I watched her drive away in his car. I felt like such an idiot. Why I was still holding out hope for us I couldn't even begin to explain. This was a hopeless situation and I was forever going to be stuck with my guilt written self for letting her go.

I just hoped that whatever they were doing , that she was happy and taken care of...

*Vera's POV *

I woke up to water droplets being dripped unto my forehead meticulously almost rhythmic as I shot up with a gasp.

"She's awake!" He yelled down the hall as the other one came running in. At this point I couldn't be certain of anything. But I knew that whomever the real 'Linus' was , he had some explaining to do.

"What do you want from me ? Why can't I just go home? And... why am I tied up !?" I said through a grunt as I struggled againts my restraints.

"Calm down kitten." The other one said while I shot a glare his way.

"Don't talk to me like that ! Let me go you creep !" I yelled out frustrated while the first one crouched down infront of me , taking my face in his hand .

"Look , we don't wanna hurt you. You're far too pretty. But , if you keep that pretty little mouth of yours shut we'd consider letting you ask some questions. " he said making the bile rise in my throat . They were sick. And I now more than ever wished to have gone home with Charlie.

"No way. You two are sick ! You disgust me !"

"If that's the way you feel ." He said , getting up from his crouched position and walking out leaving me with the other one. He seemed like the more level headed one of the two, though it did nothing to ease my mind .

"You know , if you just co-operate this won't be that bad for you. It'll be like before." He said sounding more humane than - what I now conclude to be - his twin.

"You don't get it , do you ? I wasn't cut out for this type of life. The fancy  clothes, food , cars , all of it. I just want to go home. Why can't you just let me go ?"  I pleaded - almost at the brink of tears - while I could see he felt sorry for me and really wanted to help. I watched as he opened his mouth to say something before the first one returned ,

"Seth are you coming or what ?" He said while I watched Seth give me a look -almost like apologizing with his eyes - before he turned around and followed his brother out.

Nothing about this situation was good. If it wasn't for my stubbornness and curiosity, I wouldn't have been here. Sure I would've never seen the outside of Norview but atleast I would've been alive and home. It's like mom always say ; curiosity really does kill the cat.

That's it ! I know it's short -kind of a filler - but I wanna know your thoughts of Linus being the bad guy and having a twin ??? Any theories? Leave them in the comment section below. Until next time keep howling my wolves 🐺❤
