Hell Marriage

Chapter 22: Come hell or highway

Author’s POV

Ava heard movement and slamming of door, she hid herself deeper in the shadows, Nicholas passed her in fury, how dare the king speak about Elder in such manner, A shril went off in the air Nicholas stopped and dipped his hands in his pants’s pocket bringing out His phone, oh it’s his phone that makes such noise, Ava thought to herself.

“Yes speak” He said into the phone,

“Handle the situation, I’ll be there, make sure he stays chained, inject him if need be” He said quickly to whoever he was speaking to, he returned the phone to his pocket,

“Damn!” He swore hard, sure that whatever he was saying is about Connor, Ava Connected her visions to what she heard, in her visions Connor was chained and now Nicholas was talking about keeping a person chained and the conversation between Nicholas and the king suggested that her suspicions were right after all, damn, Ava hatched a plan right there and then, Even though she and Connor were not really on a good page, he was there when he needed her.

She heard Nicholas move away, calling a guard to bring his car around the house, going out now is a risk to him as he can’t move in the sun, he’ll have to take lots of blood to move in the sun, this means that it’s very important for him to leave the house and he was probably going to see Connor, Ava swung into action, she already knows what to do.

Alaina’s POV

Connor has lost it completely, the injections aren’t working, I’m afraid the chains going to break, just then Nicholas arrival was announced, his arrival bright me lots of relieve.

“Do something, don’t just stand there, you’re the only one that can break him, damn it!” he told me angrily.

“What am I supposed to do, uhn? Make myself his next meal?, you of people knows he’s not listening to me! ” I asked in the same tone.

“Don’t annoy me with that little speech, if you can’t make him stop, then you’re not needed in here.” He said in anger.

“Don’t get on my nerves either, I’m going out anyways, you don’t need to sweat it, you can take care of him if you can!.”

I told him matching his tone, glaring angrily at him, I stomped off the room, shutting out Connor’s growl, I need to smoke.

I went to a shadowed place in the garage, smoking here is risky but I have to else I’m afraid I’ll loose my sanity, nobody’s expected here anyways, not even I could brace the harshness of the sun, nothing’s going according to my plan, Ava should be…. Wait a minute what’s that, sound?, I listened quietly I heard the click again, I glanced around, it seems like someone’s trying to open something like the boot of a car, I put out the light of my cigarette, annoyed that someone or something’s disturbing my quiet time, I moved around the car in annoyance, what I saw next made me hold my breath.

Ava’s POV© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

After trying for a while, I was able to lift the boot open, I got out on unsteady legs, it was a long ride, particularly after I’ve spent it folded in a car’s boot, I closed the boot as quietly as I can.

“Mine oh mine, what do we have here?”

My heart went straight into my mouth, my heart pounded with such fierceness that my sixth sense feared it’s going to fall off.

“What are you doing here?, oh my bad, are you a savior in a shining armor, oh you’re here to save….. wait in this case a demon in distress?” She laughed obviously amused.

My brain stopped functioning, I knew I was in trouble, lots of it, I turned so swiftly, Alaina!.

I knew I was done for, I’ve always seen a kind of hatred in her eyes, I know she won’t keep quiet about this either, but her next words shocked me.

“Alaina I….” I tried reasoning with here not even knowing what to say.

“Since you’re here for the well being of Connor and I’m interested in his well being as well, I’d like to help you, but you see I’ve got no idea what you want or how to help you, if….”

“Just once” I whispered interrupting her.

“Pardon?” Alaina asked, she seemed lost, not understanding what I mean, she raised her brow in question.

“Just once, help Me, I want to see him just once, please if you can…”

“Wait you mean you want to see him?, do well that’s easy, you just have to stay outside his gate and see him, I’m Sure Nicholas wouldn’t mind that, besides….”

“No Alaina you don’t understand, I want to see him up close, within touching distance, I….” The expression on her face made me stop, she looked…. shocked maybe.

“You don’t mean to tell me, you actually want to get inside there with him?, Are you crazy, do you want to die, do you even Have any idea of the condition he’s in?” She rambled on in obvious horror.

“Please I’d like to take to him just once, if there’s anyway you can help, Please help me” I pleaded frantically.

Unknown character’s POV

“Hurry boys, we have to launch the attack tonight, you know he won’t spare any of us if anything go wrong today.” He said, a look of fear finding it’s way into his hawk like eyes.

He surely will kill me, all of us if the plan doesn’t go as planned tonight, the plan’s very simple but hard to carry out, Kill the leader, seize the country and bring him victory else the worst will happen.

Alaina’s POV

So Exhausting, having to pretend to be horrified when the crazy girl was talking, Emotional business ain’t my stuff, after much pleading and arguing, I finally accepted to help her see him, seems my plan is working, we planned and decided to act when it’s night at least it will be safer.

“What are you doing here Alaina?” A voice said that jolted me out of my reverie, What are my doing?, I was going to distract the Guys watching the CCTV, how did I get here?.
