“What? You don’t like it? Would you prefer that I change your sister’s face with something more beautiful?” He asked me. I shook my head. I don’t want that. I don’t want anything to do with you. I wanted to shout so badly. I want to get Marina away from here, her safety is my priority right now. It’s okay if I was the one being kidnapped, I can at least handle that but Marina is weak when it comes to things like this. She’s suffering mentally and this could potentially be a problem in the long run.
“Master, maybe they are not blood related.” One of Sergiu’s men spoke up. He must’ve been listening while Sergiu was talking about how Marina and I didn’t look alike. Sergiu looked back at his men and started laughing. His laughs echoed through the empty room, I felt a shiver run down my spine. Marina’s hands started twitching again and I could feel her fingers trembling. Please hang in there, Marina. I n
“Everything will be alright, it’s okay.” I said while I made sure to untie her and keep her from hurting herself with the ropes. After I freed her arms and legs, I slowly pulled the tape from her mouth. She jumped and hugged me when she was finally free. She was still crying and she wouldn’t stop even when I told her that she should stop crying. I tried to shush her just in case there was a guard outside and they could hear us.“We’re going to get out of here, okay? So don’t worry, I’ll make sure that we get out of here safely.” I reassured her. She nodded and wiped away her tears. I stood up and took a look around the room. The room wasn’t all too big and by the opening, it was split into 2 hallways. At the end of both hallways, there was a door. I know for a fact that Sergiu and his men went through the right hallway thereby locking the do
"We can't stay here. We need to move." I held out my hand for Marina and she held my hand as I pulled her to the only other door in the room. I've thought about it enough and I'm guessing we're underground. The air inside these rooms were hard to breathe and I could tell Marina was having a hard time as well. Due to her anxiety and her fear, she's breathing heavily and it doesn't help that we're stuck here. "Are you okay? Can you keep going?" I asked Marina. She looked at me and nodded slowly. She was holding onto me really tightly, afraid that I'd disappear and she'd be left all alone. I reassured her that everything will be okay and that I'll be able to bring her out of this place and take her to safety. When we reached the other door, I opened it and entered the room with the gun in my hand. Thankfully, no one was around. Marina was hiding by the door and when I signalled for her to move forward,
I woke up to the faint smell of smoke and dust. When I opened my eyes, I saw Marina lying on the floor. I quickly got up but realized that my leg was injured. It was painful to move and I could see that a small metal bit had managed to get lodged in my leg. I didn't try to remove it in fear of dying from blood loss. I tried to crawl towards Marina while making sure my leg wasn't going to get injured anymore than it is now. When I got to Marina's side, I tried to wake her up. "Marina, please open your eyes. It's me Luna." I said while shaking her lightly. I couldn't tell if she had any injuries and I was scared to move her just in case she did have some wounds. If I tried to shake her forcefully, I could aggravate her wounds and make things worse. Just to be safe, I made sure to just lightly move her while trying to wake her up. I looked around to see who else was around and I noticed Sergiu's body.

“It'll be okay. Once this thing is removed you will be stitched up and will be in recovery for a while. Don't worry too much about Marina, Niccolo will be taking care of her. I promise you that she will be fine. you just have to focus on getting better.” Primo told me. I nodded and told him that I would focus on recovery for the meantime. He nodded and told the doctor to continue what they were doing. When the pain was too much to bear I asked the doctors to inject me with an anaesthesia that would make me fall asleep. They agreed and immediately administered the medicine. After I could feel the anaesthesia flowing through my veins I promptly knocked out. When I came to, It was already two days from my operation. I looked at my leg and it was still bandaged. I could still feel the pain but not as much as when they first started taking the rod out of my
I was startled when the door flew open. I was deep in thought so I didn't notice but Primo walked in with a tray filled with medicine and a cup of water. He was surprised to see that I was awake. He quickly walked over to my side of the bed and sat down. “Are you okay? How are you feeling? You've been unconscious for 2 days.” He told me. I answered and told him that I was feeling better. He handed me the water and the medicine and I took them accordingly. I looked at Primo and I noticed that he had a soft expression on his face. This was unusual. I would never have imagined that he would make such a face. I put my hand on his cheek and asked him what was wrong. He shook his head and told me that he was just worried about me. I felt bad for worrying him again. I apologized but instead of accepting my apology he told me not to say sorry and that he was the one
After Marina calmed down, I let her lay her head on my lap. To be honest, there was nothing for her to be sorry about. We were both in that situation and I knew that there was nothing else we could've done. It was a good thing that Niccolo and Primo came to save us. I couldn't understand Marina's guilt. "How are you feeling?" I asked her as I caressed her hair. She looked up at me, with a frown on her face. "Why should my feelings matter? You're the one who got hurt. I only have a small wound on my head and that's it. You have a big injury on your leg. What I feel shouldn't matter." She said while tears were welling in her eyes. I think I'm slowly starting to understand Marina's guilt. She must be feeling bad that she sustained very few injuries because I protected her. She's feeling guilty about being protected during the whole attack. "Marina..." I put my hand on her cheeks and I looked her in her eyes.
