Chapter 27: Chapter 27

It's been more than two hours since Alex locked me up in his room. I am tried of knocking the door calling for them to let mw out. It came as no surprise as i myself told Alex that i went on my own will. That itself is enough to trigger him.

"God, how long i have to stay in here.." I finally gave up while leaning against the door .

"Katarina," Terry's voice made me stand up instantly. He's still in my mind. How is it even possible?

"Did you find it?"

"No"

"Wh-what can I do? I was caught." I replied in a low tone .

"You're going to find it."

"Why? What's in it for me anyways?"

"That's not your concern, sweetheart." I rolled my eyes at his comment.

"I don't think I can get it for you." I changed my mind. He is definitely planning something bad.

"You're going to get it for me, Sweetheart whether you like it or not.," he said bitterly.

"If you really want to be free, then I suggest you do as I say." He said firmly.

"How? How can i take it? He will kill me. "

"Alex doesn't have the guts, sweetheart. But i kill, so you should fear me a whole lot more." He threatened and I gulped softly.

"I am not willing to take that chance-"

" Don't worry, sweetheart. I will help you." His voice turned all soft and sweet as he held my face up to meet his gaze.

"How can you possibly help me, Terry? You already made things worse." I raised my voice and he let out a dark chuckle.

" "I want you to let out all the hatred you have, towards them." My mind went deep into his words when I found myself nodding.

"And nobody can make me leave your mind except for me, do you understand, love?"

"Yes, but-"

"And I will only leave your mind if you manage to get that box for me, Katarina, are we clear?" I drew in a shaky breath before my mind came to a sudden ease. It's like empty space, no more sadness, no more suffocation or feeling helpless, nothing. I just...felt nothing. Hatred towards them.

"What happened, Katy? "

" Why you ran? "

"You have some explaining to do, kat."

Their questions irritated me like anything.

"I do not owe either of you any explanation." I said angrily.

"Whoa, easy there Katy" Joey chuckled, wrapping an arm around my shoulders as i glared at him.

"You-"

I had to find a way to get that red box as i couldn't go on like this.

"I'll talk with her." David said with concern as the other guys leave the room.

"When Alex comes, you have to tell him the truth-"

"Aren't you tired of saying this? why don't you stop telling me what to do?" I cut him off as he flinched a bit at my harsh tone. . I didn't feel anything with his reaction.

"What's with the attitude, Katy?" he asked softly and I simply shook my head, my eyes wandering around my room.

"You're acting very strange." he mumbled . " I wonder when you cut your good boy act? " For which he shook his head.

" Leave, i have to find something and get back to Terry " before I could finish, he grabbed my shoulders and hold me firmly in between the wall and him.

"You're acting so different, what did they do to you? Did they threaten you?" he questioned, concern evident in his voice and I gave him an expressionless look before placing a palm on the side of his cheeks, causing him to flinch a little.

"You're really annoying, you know that?" I said as i feel nothing but hatred.

"Katy-"

"You say you care so much about me, yet you literally have done nothing to save me " I started, caressing his cheeks . "You have such a pretty face, though." I admired his features, trailing my hand down his jawline.

"Katy, stop-"

"Why? This is what you wanted,right? You want to taste my blood. Don't you?" I whisper softly,

"That's not true-"

"I don't believe you."

"You don't have to, but-"

"If you are telling the truth, then kiss me." I taunted, wrapping an arm around his neck, knowing that his feelings would get the best of him. I wanted him to kiss me, I wanted him to say just how much he loved me and then, I will tell him just how much I hated his kind.

Suddenly, his eyes suddenly turning a shade darker as he leaned closer to me.

"That's more like it, David." I couldn't help but smirk as he came closer, his eyes filling up with so many emotions,

"You're being so rude, Katy..." He said as his lips brushed against mine . I was about to pull him in when the door flew open and in came Alex, he glared at us.

"What are you-"

"It's nothing, Alex." David immediately got off me and I scoffed before sitting up straight.

"Rina-" Alex came towards me, causing a small smirk to tug on my lips.

"Get the fuck out." Alex angrily said to David. David was about to say something but stopped when Alex shot him a glare, causing my smirk to deepen. It felt so wrong and right at the same time.

David left leaving me amd Alex in the room.

"You've changed." He started slowly, emphasizing each and every word, causing my eyebrows to shoot up.

"Come straight to the point? You interrupted us. " I muttered under my breath, Terry's smiling face flashing in my mind.

"There was nothing to interrupt." He sounded as if he was trying to convince himself into believing those words and I mentally rolled my eyes.

"Well, it was about get heated when you ruin it." I breathed in, slightly annoyed about the ruined moment. Alex looked at me in both confusion and disbelief.

"Shut up,barbie doll ." He finally masked on an expressionless look and I raised a brow, attempting to challenge him. Honestly, his cocky attitude was pissing me off .

"Like i said, We were just getting to the good part " before I could finish,he was close to me and his eyes were now burning holes through my face.

"You're staying away from him." He inched even closer as I backed away to the nearest wall, slightly wishing that I didn't piss him off.

"Or what?" I challenged him. His deep blue eyes now piercing through my soul through my eyes .

"I swear to fucking god, Rina, stay away from him or you will regret it!" He hissed and spat at the same time, caging me in between his hands as soon as I tried to slip away.

"Whatever." My voice softened and I waited for him to take a step back but he stood his ground, the heat radiating from his body, making me feel a little uncomfortable. Why was my heart pounding very fast? I was supposed to feel hatred towards him.

"Don't be such a kid, Alex. It was just a kiss." I taunted, raising my hand to caress his cheeks but he grabbed it midway.

"Don't try to distract me." He said through gritted teeth and I scowled at him before yanking my hand away forcefully. I then went to the dining room to have lunch. I was hungry as i haven't eaten since yesterday.

**

It wa now over a week. Still no improvement. Terry's harassment is getting too much. My head pains like it will burst any moment. I nibbled on my food before looking at the guys except for Alex and David, i am glaring at them with hatred.

"When was the last time we had a party?" Joey asked out of the blue and I gulped down my drink before my thoughts went to draft another plan to steal the box.

"We can have one tonight, if that's alright with you guys. I think we all need to loosen up a bit." Franklin said and the guys nod in agreement. Didn't they just finish a party? It's in favour as they will be distracted while I steal the box from Alex's room.

"I'm in." I said excitingly as they looked in surprise before they grinned with a nod.

"She's not staying for the party." David voice was now laced with venom and I sent him a glare before masking on a blank expression.

"Oh come on, she willingly." Joey whined

"Alex is never going to-"

"It's not like we're going to feed off her! " Danny said with a smirk.

"Shut the fuck up, Danny, she's not a toy to mess around with!" he spat .

" What the hell? She's not a queen but a mere human blood bag" Danny infuriated him further whereas i watch it without any emotion.

"You better take it back before I fucking beat the shit out of you!"

"You both should take a step back and calm down! We're all fighting over nothing. Nobody's treating her like a toy or using her." Franklin said.

"Stay in your place Frank, She's a blood bag and that's all she's ever going to be worth!" they fight among themselves.

"I think she's been brought back to turn each other against us. It's Terry we're talking about."

The boys kept arguing as I slowly made my way towards the door, ignoring their presence completely. They can kill themselves.

" shut the fuck up now!" Alex's voice made me come to a sudden halt but I quickly left the dining room, my heart slightly racing faster.

The party was still going to happen tonight. I slipped on a skinny black dress and sighed when I realized how much it revealed my body.

"What the hell are you wearing, Rina?!"

"Dress,duh?" I scowl at him and was about to walk right past him when he grabbed my wrist and yanked me closer to him. His eyes has many emotions until he masked it again.

" you're jealous?" I exclaimed in surprise as his eyes grew a shade darker. "Oh, how lovely. Don't tell me you have feelings for-"

"My choice is far better than you . So, stop flattering yourself." His sarcastic tone pricked my nerves .

"Then you will have no problem with me leaving like this." I stated harshly

"By all means," He mumbled, releasing his grip and moving out of the way for me to leave. "But don't regret anything after tonight. They're all going to be drunk, so don't expect them to let you go off easily. Alai don't expect me to save you." He warned and finished with a glare that I returned it right back.

"I never asked you to save me . If anything, I need someone to save me from you. "
