Killian's POV
The moment I dropped the phone and stood to my feet, Shedrack followed me with an accusatory look in his eyes.“The record room? That wasn't part of the plan. Why can't you get it yourself, I mean you are strong enough to survive whatever comes after.” Shedrack folded his arms and squared up in my face. I knew he was only being protective of his special friend whether he decided to say it or not. I was just done with explaining myself.“If there will be any hint of information that talks about Hannah Martins, it's going to be inside of those record rooms.” I said, choosing to move out of his way so I could prepare for the backlash. There had to be security of some sort, they weren't stupid enough to leave their most prized asset—which is the information they hold of really powerful people that got away with dubious shit.“There is more than one record room?” He stood toe to toe with me again.“Okay, dude if you don't back tKillian's POV Sirens blew out into the night. I watched his eyes widen.“What have you done…” Shedrack grabbed at his hair going straight for the only window in sight that looked into the clinic. Of course you couldn't see shit, just the red flashes from the alarms on the inside.“If you can fight, come with me. If you can't, find somewhere safe—” I thought of the word ‘safe’ and laughed to myself.“This is funny to you, huh? You just do whatever you like because you are strong and shit, then the rest of us can go fuck it, right?” Shedrack yelled, coming back to me. All I could do was sigh. Out of all of them, he was the only one who was actually untouchable because his mother is crazy. It would be self harm doing anything to him. I could expose his family secrets to him just to take him off the moral high horse he loved to ride.But what would Katie think of me then? I barely got to her good side. “Shedrack, do
Katie's POVWe stumbled out of the clinic, the sick green interior and the dingy smell of wetness still hung over my head. It felt like a heavy veil clothed upon my skin and I wanted to rip it off so bad, I fell to the ground gasping for air.Roman came out a few seconds later, I don't know what held him back but he took a bit longer.“Come on, get up Katie. The fight isn't over, now isn't the time to rest.” Roman gingered. I stretched my weak hand to him, allowing him to drag me up on my feet and pull me in the direction of the side of the building. Before we got there, Shedrack appeared.“I can't find Ryan! I can't find Ryan guys and I have no memory of him or when I last saw him.” Shedrack panicked. I could see in his eyes that he has been crying for a bit.“I am so glad you guys are safe.” He cried, hugging Roman tight but he didn't hug him back, then he embraced me next. The dread returned in Shedrack's eyes. “Ryan…”
Katie’s POV “I am coming with you.”“No, you are not strong enough. You—”“I said, I'm coming with you.” I touched his shoulders.“Alright, stay alert.”I watched him go ahead first wondering if he even realized that I had compelled him. I studied his back, there were tears which meant they got him too but how did he get rid of the poison?“Aren’t you coming again?” He turned around and asked. “Yeah yeah, I am. I just got lost in my head. Let's go.” I nudged him to keep going, this time I followed closely behind, making sure I left my ears open for any suspicious movement.I don't know how possible it was but the smell inside was even worse than I remembered it and I soon figured out why. The smell of blood and something else that I couldn't put my finger on filled the air. I watched the shadows like a hawk, waiting for one of them to pop out, instead, Killian walked out of the corridor just after th
Katie's POV “Don’t fall asleep now…we still have to get out of this hellhole.” “Till then.”I muttered, drifting into sleep anyways.~~~~~A pain on the side of my head was enough to wake me up from my slumber. A slumber I was aware I had embarked on from a good stand point but had no idea it got better in my absence. Because tell me why I woke up to a cool non-dingy like air and in Killian's arms. It was the best feeling I have ever thought of having. He carried me bridal style out of the tunnel and into the fresh air of Monaco.It was hard to tell where exactly what I was seeing aside from the reflection of the moon on the surface of the lake. Even the boat wasn't powered up enough to shine its bright light around.“Oh you are finally awake…” He smiled down at me in his arms and I just wanted to snuggle in harder. He was shirtless, the top part of his overall was dipped down and tied by the base.“Guys,
Katie's POV “I need a break…” I sighed.A migraine began to reach around my skull like a gym head back. I stared at my odds. Another walk by the boat while we try to unscrew or break through or sitting with an unconscious body of Jessica with the possibility of waking up anytime. ~~~~~Jessica's POVI have never desired death so much in my life.Where am I?I looked up at the open sky refusing to believe what I was feeling. Cool breeze that didn't smell like spewed guts and bleach simultaneously.My body felt heavy and stuck to whatever was beneath me. Thank heavens it was comfortable, I just knew I would be dealing with a bad neck pain in a worse case scenario.I filled my lungs up to the brim with the clean air. It should have brought a smile to my face if only I could feel it. It was cool. I survived. I needed to smile. I survived what was the most hellish fever dream of my life. If the center of my leg didn't feel like it was cooling off, I would have swore it was all just a ter
Roman’s POV“Take as much time as you need…” Shedrack rubbed my back and I could feel my features instantly soften.I took in a deep breath, preparing myself to relive the trauma once again. Every attention was on me, staring at my lips, my face, waiting for the first word to fall out.“First off, can I just say anyone who has faced those slippers one on one, you are eligible to sign up for after combat therapy. Because those creatures were surely manufactured from some of the surest depths of hell. I can't be told otherwise. Their breath smells like the pit of everything wrong with this world and till this very moment, I don't even know what they really look like.” I said to them.Katie had the most understanding face out of everyone and I knew why. While she was still unconscious on Killian's back while he gave her a piggy ride, he and Shedrack filled me in on how she was attacked by a slipper who threatened to kill her but at the end got killed by Ryan.“So at first I thought the w
Katie's POV “I am sorry but I can't…” She sighed.“What do you want to hear then?” She asked, staring at me with tired eyes.“Everything.”“Come on…that's going to take like the whole night and it's already a new day.” She complained.“Then make it breathe. I'm not saying I want to know everything about you. I just want to know things like why you kept it away from us, since when and how are you so fucking cool?” Roman nudged her.“Or you could just compel me to forget what I saw…” He suggested, winking at me.I don't know how he manages to cook up this much excitement from but it was definitely eating off me. I needed a bed to sleep all my worries on.“Shut up. And you don't know about it for a good reason.” I added, shaking my head. I was trying my best to stall the answer until Lucy gave me a good go ahead to say it but then again, she wasn't exactly telling me not to say anything to him. My gut feeling also wasn't pricking me so I figured what could be the harm.I cleared my thr
Katie's POVI woke up to the tremor of the boat. Apparently it had hit the deck and broken a few pieces of wood work on the deck before it came to a stop.“My father is definitely going to ask questions…” Shedrack complained as we got down out and down from the boat one after the other. Jessica was strategically left for second to the last so that she was supported at the back and someone else helped her from the front. None of which was Ryan. Except for his little contribution to Roman's story, he had been exceptionally quiet throughout the ride. I had no idea where he hid till it was time to go on deck.“Well when you learn more about your father, I hope you will ask him questions too…” Stephen said as he helped Jessica down onto the deck. Everyone but Killian had the ‘what the fuck’ look on his face.“What did you say?” Shedrack asked, cocking his head to the side.“Hey! Doctor…you might want to get up now. I don't think any of these boys have any strength in them to carry your ass
