“How can you wake up after being shot?” I asked, I was beyond shocked.“Water… water…” he whispered in a painful voice.I decided to hold my investigation for now, looking at his pitiful state.“Oh water?” I remembered I always have a small water bottle in my purse.I removed the bottle and help him drink it.“Where are we?” he asked weakly.“Still in the forest. Just a few steps towards the right. I am sorry I couldn’t carry you” I replied defeatedly.“That’s okay. Thank you for trying. Leave now. You must be late” he said which shocked me.“Leave? How can I leave you here? Do you think I am that heartless?” I asked narrowing my eyes at him.“You can’t carry me. The forest is dangerous. They can come back and hurt you too. Just leave before it’s too late” he said like it’s the most logical thing in the world.He still cared for me more when he is the one in dying state. How can I leave such a person behind?“I am not leaving you and don’t try to argue with me!” I raised my hand when
I was shocked to see who was standing right in front of me. It was Theodore, uncle Pete’s son.“What are you doing here, Rose?”What am I doing here? Can’t you see I am stealing some morphine for a good cause?“I… I came here to.. to… see Uncle Pete” I replied stuttering like a criminal caught in act.What the hell? What did I just say? What would I reply if he asked why I wanted to see him? Is this the best reply you can come up with? Stupid brain!I felt like an idiot. How can I not? I had a morphine shot, injections, and a knife set in my hand at the moment. Whoever looks at me will think I am a lunatic.“Oh, okay” he replied smiling.What the hell? What do you mean by ‘Oh, okay’? Don’t you want to be nosy again like you all always do?I observed the way he was moving here and there either his own feet were unable to hold his weight or the floor was slippery.I was standing on the same floor so it must be his feet.“Are you okay, Theo?” I asked confusedly when I saw him grabbing t
Oliver’s POV:“ROSEY!! ROSEY!! WHERE ARE YOU?” I shouted from the top of my lungs.“ROSE!! ROSE!!” Mark shouted looking from side to side.“Rose, come out you brat!” Mark added in annoyance.“Can you stop being mean to her?” I asked in a frustrated tone.“I am not being mean. I just know how she is!” Mark replied in frustration.“Mark, it’s been two hours since she is missing. Do you really think she will keep up the act for 2 f**cking hours? I know her, she is not that irresponsible!” I replied in an angry tone.“Yeah, but she has a habit of doing mischievous things. There is a first time for everything” Mark replied doubtful of his own words.“When we reached the waterfall, I told you Rosey didn’t follow us but you said she must be acting again and she will come back the moment she smells the alcohol and chicken!” Oliver complained.“Wasn’t I true the entire time? Did you not see how many attempts she made just to avoid coming with us? Can you really blame me? I thought it was one of
Oliver’s POV,“No! no… no! Sissy… She was bleeding. She was bleeding a lot. There was a lot of blood coming out of her head… so much blood” Theodore replied stretching his arms horizontally to show the quantity of blood.“Is she okay?” Laina asked in a frightened tone.“I gave her vodka so she should be fine” Theodore replied with a proud expression.“You didn’t give her medicine or first-aid but vodka?” Olivia asked in frustration.“Yes, she asked for it. Must say, I am impressed! She has an expensive taste. We are drinking buddies now” Theo announced happily.“She drank?” Laina was beyond confused at this moment.“No! At least, not in front of me!” Theo shook his head in complete denial.“Then why did you give her vodka instead of a first aid kit, you brat?” Mark asked in an enraged tone.Theo frowned and replied, “Because she asked for it. She is my cousin too, I wanted to help! And….” “And?” Laina asked with a raised eyebrow.“And she had a morphine shot in her hands” Theo added
Third Person’s POV,“Are you awake?” She asked in shock as she moved towards him instantly.He regained his consciousness but his eyes were still closed. He looked like he was trying to open them while battling with himself.“Yeahhh” he replied breathlessly as he tried to get up.‘I never heard something so sexy and provoking before!’ she thought while swallowing hard. She cleared her throat and asked him in astonishment.“How can you wake up so early?” but he decidedly not to reply.He tried to get up but his eyes were still closed and his entire body was aching like thousands of needles were piercing through his body.“Why are you trying to get up? You need rest” She said, as she moved toward him with the speed of light.“You were shot…” She tried to argue but he didn’t let her finish.“Four times. I know” He replied in his deep seductive voice and snapped open his eyes.His royal blue eyes met with her emerald green orbs. She was bewitched by his deep hypnotic eyes. She looked away
Third Person’s POV,“Did you ever feel the pain in the body at night?” Elijah asked in a curious tone. He wanted to add a full moon night in his statement but he didn’t as it must be too early to reveal that.‘That wasn’t something that I was expecting, I was hoping for simple questions, like where am I? or who are you? That kind of stuff’ She thought confusedly.“I should be the one asking you that. You were dying a few hours ago. How are you feeling now? Are you feeling pain in any part of your body, especially your shoulders?” Rose asked in a worried tone.“A bit. I will be fine soon. Don’t worry about that” he replied genuinely.‘How can someone look this gorgeous just by talking? He was looking smoking hot just lying down there minutes ago and now he even started talking. This is torture!!’ she couldn’t help but shake her head in annoyance.“Are you okay?” Elijah asked in a confused tone.‘She is weird but beautiful’ Elijah thought.“Yeah. Just my head and also a bit worried that
Rose’s POV,“ROSE? OPEN THE BLOODY DOOR!”It didn’t take me a microsecond to recognize my father’s booming voice.“Dad!” I whispered under my breath while my eyes turned as wide as the full moon.“Dad?” Elijah repeated after me.“Rose! Open the door, dear” I heard my mother’s concerned voice.‘Mom too? I am royally screwed up now!’ My mother’s nose and her extinct is out of this world. She can sit in the kitchen and tell what I and Mark has been up to! Why is she here at this moment.Why is this happening to me? Why universe so against me? Only God knows what was the urgent matter that they left the moment we arrived in this bloody hell of a house, and now just like a poof! They appeared right infront of my door. Did they even consider my well being in their absence knowing how welcoming people of this house are to me?“Rose, open the door or we will break it!” My mother shouted from the other side.“No! Wait, I am changing!” I replied in panic the first thing that came into my mind
Suddenly, my mom shouted and startled everyone while pointing toward something in the room,“Honey!” ‘What the hell! Did she see him? I told him not to come out until I say so!’ I didn’t react immediately, my back still facing toward the room.“Why is there blood on your bed sweety?” My mom asked and I took a deep sigh of relief,‘Oh, so she was talking about the blood on the bed’ I took a sigh of relief only to realize I fu**ed up.‘F*ck! I should have changed the bedsheet before opening the door’“Why is there so much blood on your bed? What happened to you last night?” My father asked holding my shoulder while observing me carefully.My mom, Mark, and Oliver also came forward to check on me.“I am fine. It’s just I injured my head with a giant tree branch. That’s it” I replied honestly pointing towards my injured head.“Then why is there so much blood on the bed” my father asked in worry and I was shut for a moment to find a good excuse only for someone else to point out the obvio
