Delilah's reign

Chapter 19_ Chloe

I looked out of the SUV driving at a  speed that made the world look a lot slower

Chloe was out there,I brought her there and then left
I held a part of my wedding dress thuging on it like a crazy person

I wanted to get out of the car, find Chloe, bring her with me but I knew I would never be able to, the guards sitting on both my side made it obvious with the look on their faces

"I'm so sorry Chloe" I said breathing out

And Alonzo?, Ohh he had a lot of explaining to do, starting with why the fuck he went back in there without even looking at me

CHLOE

the priest's body fell to the group, everything was numb, I ran towards the alter but then I noticed Delilah being dragged off the alter and out of the church

I screamed but I knew she couldn't here me even though her eyes roamed everywhere in the room,it never landed on me.

Gunshots could still be heard all over the church I was so certain today was the day death would take me on a date

I looked behind shocked by the seen in front of me, people dying like it was nothing ,So I stood waiting to get shot when I felt a hand wrap around my little frame

I fell to the ground, eyes closed, waiting for the after pain but nothing happened, he blocked the impact with his other arm and I didn't feel a thing but I knew he would.

Like a seen out of a cop movie, he stayed untop of me , careful not to squash me with his weight as his green and grey eyes pierced into my soul
Moments after he got up, pulling me behind him, I was so scared I was almost certain I was gonna die

He raised his gun in the air firing shots into the crowd, at first I thought he was just shooting but then as the sound of gunshots reduced I knew he was trying to protect us... To protect me, an act I had grown up never knowing

I looked down at his ringed fingers the ones that rested perfectly on my waist

'He saved me'

He held me by my arm pulling me closer to him as he walked towards the exit, shooting at anyone who dared shoot at him

He didn't look afraid, and if he was he did a great job hiding it, his face was cold as ice, his long strides made every step I took fast like I was running even though he was just speed waking

Once we were out of the church he let go of my arm almost like as if touching me burned him

"Go" he said nodding his head a little, I knew what he wanted me to do, he wanted me to run
But something felt wrong.

I stood there looking at him as he filled his gun with more bullets

"Who walks around with a pocket filled with bullets?... This guy"

"Deaf or something?, I said go babosa"  he said again sounding a little impatient, I wanted to run, fuck it everyone was running, but something about leaving this man behind sounded wrong, even though he looked very capable of defending himself

"Get the fuck out of here" he said raising his voice hirer than necessary

"You're not going to come?" I asked shocked, I mean what the hell was he planning?, Go back in there get shot after the Superman plus captain American stunt he pulled in there

I wasn't the bravest person on the planet but I wanted to stay with him?, As dumb as that sounds it felt right.

He took off his suit jacket handing it to me, his sent filling my nose like a perfect fix, like I was an addict and he was that good fix I needed.

"Take it, you'll be cold, that dress wasn't made for this cold I'm guessing, now leave, I'm not going to say it again, I am not a patient man" his accent sure as hell made me oblivious to whatever he was saying

His voice sounded so melodious, I knew for sure he was Italian? But he looked American... And rude.

I ran towards my car with his jacket still around me, I started the engine, looked back once more only to see he was already gone

But his face made a permanent dent in my memory.

" his name, his name, I didn't get his name"

ALONZO'S POV

I signalled for Gustavo to take her away, she was in danger and I couldn't let her get hurt. I knew well she could defend herself but I wasn't ready to watch her get hurt

I walked back into the building calculating my next move, as I shot, one by one they fell to the ground

The smell of blood erupted the whole building

Oh how I loved it, i stood there looking at a man's body as he slowly took his last breath, thinking he was the last one, when a loud gun shot almost defend me

" tienes que tener cuidado hermano" ( you have to be more careful brother)

Alvaro.

"Beautiful wedding" he said chuckling

"Ahh yes, I knew it would be one in town, don't you think?"

" Certainly, I would have expected less red you know?, But never mind the color blood brings out the crazy in your eyes" at this point we both started laughing.

He didn't have the best humor but he had the type I could relate to

"Your bride?"

"Safe" I said walking towards him

"You're a married man " he said laughing like It was the most unbelievable thing in the world, if he were another person, he'd have a bullet in his head. But instead I settled for a kick on his balls

I left him in there laughing, even after the kick

"See you in 8 months idiot!" He yelled from behind

DELILAH'S POV

I kept calling Chloe but it ended up going to voicemail, at this point I was ready to run out of the house in my ruined wedding dress, back to the church to retrieve her but he'll these guards wouldn't even let me use the toilet

Alonzo had the guards tripled, no one could get out and I was sure no one was allowed in except him.

Great just great

I decided to get out of my dress,change into something that didn't make me look like the bride from 'monster brides'

I settled with a shirt and slippers, I didn't wear anything under
1) because I was too stressed
2) because I forgot

I was used to seeing blood, I was used to seeing people die but I knew Chloe wasn't

I would need to come up with a good explanation why I was shot at on my wedding day and why almost every guest had a gun

But I mean it wouldn't be that hard yeah?

Because she's alive, she's alive.
