Chereads / Secret Blood / Chapter 16 - Pause.

Chapter 16 - Pause.

Jason came back in the room.

"JASON!!" I said kind of yelling his name.

He jumped back a little, and looked at me, eyes wide.

"What?!?"

"MY MOTHER!?" I said with a 'duh' expression.

His face went normal and just looked at me and then looked down.

"Jason. Did you and Kyle get my mother?" I asked sternly this time I was facing him completely. I was still on the bed, but I was able to move more and I wanted his full attention.

"Well... no. Once you got kidnapped, we were all trying to get you back..." he said biting his lip.

I could tell he didn't wanna tell me that, and well it's not what I wanted to hear.

"Okay, well, I'm back now. Soooooo..... we need to get her back Jason." I said calming down after realizing he probably didn't want to get my mother without me, he's never met her before.

"I hope you aren't mad, Princess. I just didn't think it would be a good idea to find your mother, and you still be lost. She would be unhappy if we went after her and not you first.. she loves you. She would just put herself back in this realm with no knowledge of where she even is."

He had a good point. I knew it. I friggen knew that would be why!

Ugh.

Now how can I be mad?

He walked over to me and held me, "we will get her back. I won't stop looking until we do. We will meet with whoever has her and try again. Once you are better though, I cannot take you out of our home until you are back to yourself my love. You are going to need your strength back." He said kissing my forehead and caressing my back.

I nodded and smiled, he said 'our home'.

The doctor said I can go. I Just need to be careful and take it easy.

Meh. Shouldn't be... too hard.. right?..

Once we got upstairs I got into some new pjs and climbed into bed.

Being back in his... our bed, was so comforting.

There's that word again... 'our'. He used it when he said 'our home' and it made me smile. I liked the thought of us having our home, together.

He changed into some shorts and climbed into bed next to me.

He was half sitting up and leaning on his hand to prop him up.

"Isabelle, can I ask you something?" I could tell he wanted to ask me something that I didn't want to talk about yet. I don't want to keep anything from him, but maybe he should know now, just in case.

Just in case... Mark tries to pull something secretly and I'm back in the basement again.

"Yes my love?" He smiled when I said it and rubbed my cheek. I love making him smile.

At this point I was turned to him and as close as I could get. His scent made me feel.. at home.

"What happened when they took you? And WHO took you exactly? If you aren't ready to talk about it, I understand." He said quietly rubbing my arm.

I took a deep breath, "I can tell you." I let out my breath and started talking about what I remember.

"Do you... remember when you came to my job, and there was a guy walking me to my car?"

"Hmm. Yes I do. I remember because he was too close to you and I did not like another male that close to you." He growled lowly.

"Yeah, well, He kidnapped me." I said quietly.

Jason's face went emotionless immediately . "What!?"

"Yeah... we have been friends for a year almost. But now I know why. He was just keeping an 'eye' on me so no one would try to take me. But... He was taking my blood, The entire time I was gone. He had one IV for that, and another in my other arm. He had me strapped down as well. I was... in a basement. "

I choked on my last words because I started to get flashbacks and it made me wanna just ball up and cry.

Jason moved closer to me and held me.

"I am going to kill him, slowly, so he feels torture for a long time. " he said with a tone that made me wanna run in the other direction.

"He said he needed my blood for a reason. I over heard something about a weapon I think? But he needed more of my blood... it was just horrifying. But I escaped and that's all that matters." I said with a half smile and tears in my eyes.

"You are here yes, but he will pay for what he did to you." He said again with this cold tone in his voice.

"Wait, how exactly did you escape if you were in a basement...?" He said with a very puzzled expression.

"About that...." I started to say and sat up.

"I used my magic. I closed my eyes and tapped into all the anger I had inside me and forced it to my hands. That's how I got the bars to melt down."

I bit down my lip , waiting for his response.

"You did THAT? Without any training? Seriously? I'm beyond impressed Princess." He said eyebrows raised and grabbing me back down so I was close to him again.

I felt a sort of.. proud feeling. Like I could do this, I can do this. I will find my mother and bring her here safe. It will happen, because I have Jason by my side and Kyle, who is ready to kick butt whenever needed.

Ugh. Kyle. Not someone I want on my mind right now. I shook my thought away and looked at Jason.

He was so.. Mesmerizing. The way his eyes lit up when he got close to me, the way he always wanted to be near me and touch me. I did love how he thought of my feelings and actually cared how I felt. He always made sure I didn't need anything, I loved that.

"What are you thinking beautiful?" He said, snapping me out of the trance he had me in. If only he knew how much he affected me, in every way.

"You." I said smiling and kissed his lips.

I looked at him and couldn't help but feel so lucky and just never wanna leave his side.

I snuggled up into him and I felt my body feel fire and also relax. It was such an addicting feeling. Like fire and ice, it just makes you feel so relaxed and feel like cloud 9 sometimes.

Then, there was a knock at the door.

Who was I thinking I'd be able to go to sleep without any interruptions?
