Trusting The Treacherous Renegade

Part 36

The smell of smoke is reaching my nose.

Slowly my eyelids go up and A rush of dizziness is consuming me. I let out a groan while stroking my temples.

While pushing myself up on the elbows, I can see both Carter and Devan passed out in their seats.

My fingers search for Carter's pulse and thankfully it's still pounding.

I close my eyes, letting out a sigh of relief before I check Devans who's okay as well.

I stretch myself over to the door of the driver's seat to unlock the car. Trying not to look closely at Carter as my consciousness is killing me, I don't want him hurt. I can't do what they want me to do though.

I need to get to Androlix before the Androlious destroy more people here on earth.

I shake my head and open up my door, I mumble a low sorry and then I walk out.

My legs surprise me as I fall straight to the ground with a loud bang.

I let out a grunt and set myself up as my head starts to spin uncontrollably.

My fingers get tangled up in my hair when I try to steady the dizziness.

"Gianna." The warm tone is sending fire through my body. Making me even more tired, feeling so relaxed.

Footsteps are approaching me so I open up my eyes to see a pair of black loafers.

"Kayn," I whisper and trying to raise my head to look at him. "My head it's..." I try to explain but am lost in words. "Spinning."

I can feel his arm go under my knees as he lifts me.

His other arm goes around my back and instinctively I nussle my head into his neck.

His fancy fragrance is teasing my nostrils.

"You'll be okay." He mumbles against my hair with a soft tone.

I hate that he does this, makes me feel safe when I know where he's taking me. I know he can't be trusted. I hate that.

"He killed my dad." I'm now sobbing uncontrollably. I can't seem to stop. It's like everything is just hitting me at once.

"I know." He says and puts me down in the passenger seat of his car.

Kayn pauses at the door, he leans close to me. His eyes are staring directly into mine making my stomach flutter. "You're strong Gianna, you'll survive this."

I bury my head in my hands and continue to sob.

"I killed people Kayn," I say when I hear him entering the car. "What am I supposed to do now? How am I supposed to move on?"

This is just the beginning of it all, I can feel it. My days of boredom and peace are over. Going to Andromeda is just going to be another chaotic chapter in my life. This will never end.

"Wish I could tell you babycakes." His voice is soft and soothing. "Haven't figured that out myself yet."

"You are trained for this. I am not. I'm just a normal human." He's been doing this for a living, killing people. He doesn't care.

"I know." Kayn states and I feel a sting of guilt hit my stomach. I cast aside a glance at him, his jaw is tense and the forehead is wrinkled. I don't think he wants this life, he's just too afraid to move on.

"Why'd you do it? What did you do to my father? Can you tell me why?" I take my hands away from my face and brush the last tears away.

I glance at him.
