The heroes of Vertlock by Hannah W, Hannah W, Hannah W, Hannah W (reading an ebook TXT) 📕

"Just ask my brother, but don't worry, she's safe and she'lls tay safe as long as you do as I say." Then he hung up i had so many uestions, I ran back to the room, "What's up with Marc?" "Mmarc? My brother Marc?" "I don't know! He has Chris!" "My brother Marc, has Chris? Who's Chris?" "CHRISTIANNA! MY BEST FRIEND! THE GIRL THAT WAS YELLIG AT ME!" 

"She went with Marc?" "Yes! She's been hanging out with him a lot lately." "Shit." "What's wrong?" "Well, they're not jsut gonn have a tea party." "How do you know?" "Because I know my own brother." "How well do you really know him then?" "Well enough to know that he'd hurt her if it came down to it." "But that's not gonna happen. Is it?" "Well it might." "Well I hope he knows that if he hurts a single hair on her head, he's gonna die! By me!" "Sweetie, he's stronger than you think." "Bud can he control metal?" "No but he can wrap his hand around your neck." "Damn." "Ya. So if you're going to try to stop him, you're going to need backup." 

"I'll be fine on my own." "Don't you start that with me." I was about to reply but just then my phone started playing Oath by Cher Lloyd. "Chris? Are you ok? What did he do to you?" Her voice was light and cheery and she sounded really happy, "What are you talking about? I fell asleep when we were atching a movie so he put me in his car and drove to my house and carried me up to my room. I'm sorry that I yelled at you, Ii was just mad, I'm sorry." "He didnt hurt you?" 

"No, what do you mean?" Shade covered my mouth, ""Nothing, I jsut got worried when you left so suddnly." Hhis voice had sounded like mine, "Oh, well I just called to make sure we were good. Bye." "Bye, Chris." Then he hung up, "Don't tell her anything, that'll freak him out and he might do something drastic." "That was cruel you know." "Ya I know." "Oh shit Brodey's still on your bed. Why don't you stay in my room. I'll sleep in the living room." It's fine you can stay in your room. I'll take the living room." "No you're going to sleep there!" "God why don't we both just take the living room!" 

"Stay in my room!" He snarled at me. "Holy crap. Why is it so important to you?" "Because I want you to be happy." "Well I'll be happy when I have my best friend by my side again! You know what this is ridiculous! I'm going to go get my best friend tonight." "No! He's going to expect that. And you haven't even eaten anything since before I kidnapped you." Great the hottest guy I've met for like ever is the guy who kidnapped me. "Right. whatever I'll take your room. Just whatever." "What? Your going to give up just like that? That's what he's going to use to get to you."

 "I DON'T CARE ANYMORE! I NEED MY BEST FRIEND BY ME AGAIN!!!" I yelled at him. "Go to my room!" "Oh so now you're going to treat me like i'm a child?! What the fuck!?! I can take care of myself." "Just go. Your sleep deprived." he replied weirdly calm. "Fine. Anything for you to just stop yelling at me!" 

 Shade's POV

Is she mad at me for make her take my bed?  Oh well I want her to be comfy and the couch is really uncomfortable. It was the middle of the night when I looked up at the clock above the tv. It was 12:37 A.M Whe Elena came out to see if I was still up. I looked up and I saw that her eyes were red and puffy. "Ya I'm up." I replied "Well you never explained to me whatever it was." "Oh ya." I replied. "Will you? Explain it to me?" "Ya I guess since both of us are up." Wow that was stupid of me to say. "Wow that was stupid." "Haha do we have telepathy?" I asked really stupidly "Wow are you this retarted at this time at night." "Haha i don't know." 

We were sitting on the couch watching Despicable Me when out of the blue, "I'm scared." Elena whimpered. I didn't know what to say so instead of replying that everything was going to be ok, I told her,"It's ok the minions won't hurt anybody. Anybody important at least." Even though I said the funniest joke of the century, she just looked at me like I was stupid. "I mean with Chris. We've never had a fight and stayed away from each other this long. 

"I'll be right back. I need to make a phone call." I got up and called up Marc. I'm surprised I still have his number. We haven't talked in three years. "Hello?" "Marc. Please don't hurt her just please." I asked him. "Why would I hurt a person that I love?" "What?" "Did I just say that out loud?" "Yup." "Well either way, I wouldn't hurt her." "Just don't hurt her man." "Bro, I couldn't if I tried." "How can you promise something you don't know?" "Because it's true. She deserves someone who's nicer than I am, but I'm trying. I have to go. Anna will wake up soon." 

I was still holding my phone when Ley came up to me. "Are you ok?" She asked me. "What? Ya. I'm fine." How can I lie to a person I love so much? "Is she gonna be ok?" "She'll be fine." I told her. Like I said, how can I lie to a person I love so much. But honestly I didn't know if she was. After the movie was over, and we were in the middle of Titanic, she fell asleep on my lap. This never happened to me before so I didn't know whether to carry her to my bed or leave her here. But I ended up just taking her to my room. 

She was so peaceful when she slept. I couldn't just walk out without kissing her. So I just kissed her on her forehead. The way she acted around me now, it was obvious that either she didn't trust me or had a guy hurt her before. I decided on both. Before I left, I heard her start to stir. "Shade?" She asked wearily "Ya?" "Will you stay in here with me? I feel safer with you." "Ya of course." When I pulled out my extra matress, she slid over to the side so i could sleep with her. She looked so small, so fragile. And I couldn't break her. Even though I knew she was unbreakable. 

I was at least 5 inches taller than her so I had to slide down towards the end more. I was drifting off to sleep when I felt her soft lips. They tasted like cherries. I slid my hand to her back to keep her closer to me. I don't know if it was by an accident or if I did it automatically, but I felt her soft skin on my rough, callaced hands. She put her hand my arm as if telling me to keep it there. That spark that I felt when we first kissed shot back through me. I could tell she felt it too because she gripped my arm tighter. After that all i remembered was her giving me a sneer when I blacked out.

Elena's pov

I don't remember much of last night all I remember is that I stormed off into Shade's room and somebody was right there waiting for me. Then I blacked out. When I woke up in the morning, I was sitting in Shade's brown plaid chair. But it wasn't his chair. It didn't smell like his. Although it certainly did feel like it.

I tried getting out of the chair but I couldn't. So I was going to jst break the chains when that didn't work either. What's going on? I've neve rnot been able to control metals. I heard a rustle and then it just stopped after a few seconds. "Who's there?" I asked sounding braver than I felt. Why was I was so cold? That was when I realised the chair holding me hostage didn't have the same warmth as I felt when I first sat in it. Yup I'm definently somewhere else. But who was the ass holding me here? Then it hit me. "Shade? Why are you doing this? What the hell do you want with me?" I felt a little repetitous but I didn't care. I needed to get out of here. "No. No,no,no this isn't Shade. This is the person that's here to finish what Shade started. You could say, I'm your worst nightmare." "Oh my god you're not Miley Cyrus here to give me a lap dance while singing wrecking ball are you?!" I knew he was getting mad but that was all part of my plan. In seconds he was in front of me close to my face. A little too close if you ask me. His breath smelled deeply of cinnamon gum. The worst kind in the history of gum flavors.

"You're trapped here with me. So as long as you're with me,you'll do whatever I say you have to do. Or your family and friends go. If I tell you to make me steak, you will. Am I understood?" I nodded my head sheepishly thinking of all the horrible things this man would make me do. "I SAID AM I UNDERSTOOD!?!" "Yes." I squeaked trying not to make any noise if possible. "Good. Now go get washed up for breakfast. And make it quick." He told me as he released me. 

 "Make me." I replied in a snarkier way than I hoped but I liked it. It made me feel like I wouldn't take any shit from anyone. "Hm feisty. I like it." he sneered. "you must've had a fight not too long ago didn't you?" he asked casually.

"Why would you want to know? It's not like you actually care about how other people felt." I snarked "You'd be surprised." He replied casually. At that moment, I heard a thundering boom.
