Lahat ng Kabanata ng Infinite Love : Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

Amelia Every single moment of our journey is agony, it seems to drag on and on. I just want to be there already. How I wish witchcraft was like in the movies and I could just open a portal and jump through it. As we get closer, each stage of the journey I feel my anxiousness ramp up. The baby seems to be echoing my emotions as there are constant kicks and somersaults going on. Giovanna sits across from me her energy is so serene and I feel like she is trying to push it onto me to help calm me but nothing will work. I know I won’t be able to relax until Erik is with me, until I hold him in my arms and know without a shadow of any doubt he is safe. The plane hits some turbulence and as I rock in my seat trying to steady myself I can’t help enjoy the irony that now my outside mirrors what is happening inside of me. Closing my eyes I try to sleep to help pass the time but images of Damian haunt me, conjuring thoughts of him torturing Erik. I snap my eyes open, this is useless I

Amelia My eyes are laser focused on her every movement and expression, I watch her intently as she begins to speak searching for even the slightest hint of deception. Her face remains calm as she tells her story. “I was born into the hunters, my father is their leader, he tried to keep me away but I believed it was our sacred duty to rid the world of the evils of vampires” Papa scoffs loudly at that statement but I give her an encouraging nod to continue. “Go on” I add softly. Her eyes are full of sadness as she does “It was all a lie! All I had heard my entire life was how cruel and evil, soulless, you all were. I trained as soon as I was old enough. I was sent to New York to watch you and Erik as my first mission, send back information but who I found was not who I had been told you all were. You were kind to me, you put yourself in harms way to help me. I broke into your lab and all the research I found told me you were trying to help. I watched the love that was clearly

Amelia Papa and I share a nervous look as we wait for Nico and the others to join us. I know he is not going to like my plan but there is no way in this world I am not going with them to get Erik, I could never forgive myself if anything went wrong and I wasn’t there. The baby somersaults inside of me again and I am certain it’s a sign of agreement with my thoughts. I gently rub my hand over my stomach in a soothing gesture “Don’t worry we’ll get your daddy back safely” I whisper. Looking up I catch Papa’s eyes fill with emotion. “That little one will be the greatest gift we could have imagined after everything you have endured” his lips give a wistful smile as he walks over and wraps me in his arms. “We’re going to bring him home I just feel it” he whispers before kissing my cheek. The door almost crashes open and I know before I look it’s Nico, he will be beyond anxious now it’s been a few hours that we have been apart. His face is tight, his beautiful features pulled tog

Amelia Erik’s head slumps low his body heavy against the chains holding him tot he wall, it looks like he is unconscious, every inch of his body is covered in wounds and bruises, blood pools at his feet. I have to stifle a cry, knowing that I can’t fall apart just now we need to get him out of here. Desperately I look to Clara and she types in numbers on a keypad to release the door, it beeps and then stays red, locked, keeping me apart from Erik. Panic begins to rise in my throat, at the look of shock on Clara’s face that her code hasn’t worked. I’m about to start clawing at the door to let us in when Giovanna’s gentle touch makes me look a her. She nods to Nico who is barking orders into his comms, less than a second later he gives me a wink and the door releases. I have never felt relief like it when it opens enough that I can push through. I just need to get to Erik. Everything in me wants to touch him but his body is so damaged that I worry I will cause him more pain.

Amelia The relief, the joy, the pure heart jumping moment of Erik opening his eyes was ruined and interrupted by that little traitor. I know I was cruel and shouldn’t have reacted like that before Erik is really recovered but her self righteous anger just tipped me over the edge. I have been holding it all together but only with the thinnest of threads and she snapped it. I wanted nothing more than to rip her head clean from her shoulders but I know that wouldn’t help Erik right now. At least she is gone from my fucking sight. If she has any brains she will stay that way. Turning quickly back to Erik I give him my full attention, I can see the damage in his eyes, he is not himself. He looks haunted. Sitting beside him and taking his hand once more I cup his face with my other “Erik talk to me please, are you okay?” Shit I curse myself, what a stupid question! Of course he’s not bloody okay. Yet I feel the slightest squeeze on my hand with his own and the attempt at a smile as
