Chapter 17 - Reality Struck

'Have you done your hair? or do you need help?'

'Meh... I can handle' I tie my hair up in a ponytail. It's friendly and simp...

'There's a special place in hell for you!'

Ha! I love how she actually thinks she caught me off guard

'You mean the throne?'

HAHAHAHAH the look on her face when I said that!! It was priceless!

'Oh let's just get your hair done'

There's no winning from Rose when she is too strong-minded. But honestly, I'm glad I lost. The awe-inspiring hair thing that she did is just a better version of my simple and sweet hairdo.

I check myself in the mirror. I look pretty. I'm wearing an off-shoulder deep blue dress with nudish brown heels. My hair is in a low ponytail with a flower at the connection. I'm gonna have so much fun!

Adrian thinks you are studying with these two. There will be consequences if he gets to know!

Fuck Adrian, brain. I'm not afraid of him!

Yeah right. And there's a throne waiting for you in hell too?!

Absolutely!

On my way to Jace downstairs, I heard noises from the small room on our floor that I don't know the use of. Belle and Adrian were whisper yelling at each other. I know it's immoral to eavesdrop but I couldn't help it.

'I know something is wrong' warns Adrian

To which Belle replies with a deep exhalation... and then she says something I'm unable to hear. Adrian replies by snarling

Which ends up in Belle smacking his head.

What? I may have opened the door just a little more so I can see.

'She's mine' I hear him say in a rapacious voice.

'No, she isn't'

'Yes! She belongs to me.'

'No. she can go out with whomever she wants. It's better this way. she doesn't need to know the truth and you know it.'

But then I got a reminder message from Jace saying that he is waiting. So against my mind yelling at me and my curiosity clawing at my mind, I leave it at that and go to meet him.

Jace gets out of the car to open the door for me.

'Hey! You didn't have to' I say.

'My pleasure'

After that, we spend the next couple of hours talking about our interests. Giving each other random information etc.

But throughout this time I felt agitated. As if something dangerous was going to happen. my heart was giving me red signals that my mind concluded to be the fear of Adrian. I wanted to bolt but I stood my ground.

Towards the end, the feeling just kept escalating. When the wedding vows were taken Jace caught my hand.

'Hey so, it was great umm being here!' I say

He was so close. Is he about to kiss me?

Oh my god! Oh my god! What do I do!?

His face is coming closer. Just fucking centimetres away and guess what's the first thought I had except alarm.

"His lips dont look as kissable as fucking Assdrian's."

'Do you have a boyfriend?'

'Uh nghd' that probably sounded like I was flustered. I wasn't.

The thing is that I was so busy envisaging the assface's lips that I didn't hear what Jace said. Also because I was anxious in case I moved a bit too much I might touch his lips. with mine

'Im taking that as a no'

He pulled me closer. I wonder if Adrian's lips are as sof...

'Aaaghhhhh' I heard a scream.

What the fuck!

Jace was thrown off me by a very and I mean VERY angry-looking Adrian. I rushed towards Jace's but even before I could take five steps Adrian's hands came around my waist and squeezed. Hard.

'MINE' he growled.

When I turned to look at him. To say that I was frightened would be a farce. His teeth were bared showing two huge canines, the veins on his neck were popping out, his nail was digging into my skin.

Oh my god. I looked at his hands and sure enough, found his fingernails had grown into... well... claws.

'Is this a dream that I am having?'

'No! You are my fucking person! MINE! And even if it were a dream, you can't have one about him!' he looked like he was ready to kill someone. I clutched his waist tight to make sure he doesn't actually destroy Jace. But I think my touch was also pacifying him just a teeny tiny bit.

My mind is swirling with so many puzzles.

What is he talking about? I'm not his? and yet him saying that makes me so happy.

Shit! You're off the topic! Adrian is a vampire..... I think!

'I will not let anyone who touched what's mine live' he drops me and advances towards Jace.

Oh noo, he really is going to kill him?

Shit motherfucker!

'Nooo wait!' I screamed.

For two reasons. Firstly, he was going to KILL Jace. Secondly, someone was going to shoot Adrian with an arrow. But I was too late and I remember screaming loudly but that's all.

.......

I was in the water. Drowning. There are people on top of me.

My friends and I went to river rafting. The boat capsized. I can't swim well enough. The current was too harsh. I'm going to die. I can feel myself sinking low and lower and lower.

Suddenly there was a voice 'Genevieve, I told you to stay away from him and be careful. Now wake up! Wake up, he needs you'

'Who needs me? I don't understand'

She looks disappointed as if I'm asking the wrong question.

'That's not the question I was expecting. You should ask me how to save him'

I should?

'But..' aren't I drowning.

'I don't have enough time. Listen to me. Channel your power. Remember your past. You need to save him... For yourself'

Whom?

I need to wait...

But it all went black.
