Hell Marriage
Chapter 25: A failed Mission
Alaina's POV
I was shocked, I don't understand what's happening, a minute ago Nicholas was going to kill me, the next minute Connor regained control, I don't know what's happening here but whatever is happening, I've got to get out of here and fast, Nicholas eased his hold on my neck, using the opportunity that he was distracted, I peeled his hands off me, I landed on the ground coughing and spitting out blood, the son of a bitch would have killed me if Connor hadn't spoken then, I stood up unsteadily and rushed towards the door, I got away without anyone noticing, getting to the Garage, I knew I can't get to the palace by running, even though my speed is one of a kind, I can go faster than Flash could probably ever will, but I also know that if I decide to go on feet, they'll have a better chance of catching up with me faster and Nicholas is a speed master himself and of he decides to go after me........no I'll take a car, so knowing the keys are kept in the security room, I headed there, using the seceret stairway, I grabbed a key off the hook, getting back to the garage,
I realized there's no way of knowing the car whose key I took, I tried the cars quickly, but the key didn't work for any, damn, I decided to try Nicholas car, I tried it and it opened, Darn it Selene, why do you hate me so much?, it's not like I can go back and get another key now, it'll be too late, besides, I'm sure they'll be coming for me soon, I hope I can get out of this country before they do, I entered the car and started the engine, making a run for it while I still can.
Nicholas's POV
A room was made for Ava hastily in one of the spare rooms in the safe house, it was built like a prison, I mean Converted from a safe house to a prison to keep powerful Criminals, so we had to make Something quickly, not the lady like stuff, but making sure she'll be comfortable enough with the arrangement, We made a makeshift bed for Ava, dropping her so gently on the bed, I watch Connor shudder with fear and hatred for himself, Ava is still Alive but barely so, her pulse is very weak and if nothing's done, she'll die soon, the doctor that attended to Connor while he was........dare I say Insane?, was Summoned in to check on Ava and he's now checking on her, I just hope nothing goes wrong Else.......
"Quick!" The doctor's Voice Jolted me out of my Reverie, I rushed quietly to his side, Connor already sited beside her,
"What is it doctor?" Connor took the question right out of my mouth, asking before I could.
"Quickly, blood, she needs blood, we need to transfuse, there's no Equipment, she needs blood in her system now" The doctor said Frantically, Ava replied by Jerking her body for a minute. This confirmed the seriousness if the situation.
"Damn it, Doctor why didn't you bring the Equipments, is this how you work?, what kind of a useless doctor are you?, Goodness Nicholas where did you get this dude from?" Connor yelled grabbing the Doctor's shirt and shaking the hell out of him, so much that the old man's Glasses fell off.
"Stop it Connor, Ava needs blood, there's no time." I told him, reminding him him of Ava and saving the poor Old good doctor from his wrath.
Ava's name appeared to be the magic word, he released the doctor immediately I mentioned Ava.
"Call qualified Doctors here Right now!" Connor Commanded. Is he crazy or something?,
"Connor, you know we can't expose this place to outsiders, Mr Smith, is the only Doctor we can trust with this place's secret, and you know he doesn't even specialize in this area of work, he specializes in.......well you know what he specializes in, and please stop shouting at him, look Connor I would love to give Ava my blood, in fact I want to, but the problem is, she's not my mate "
I said reminding him that Ava needs his blood, even though there appears to be no way to give her the blood, then Connor did a strange thing, he cut his skin with one elongated nail, blood sprouted out, but the wound sealed right back, then I think he probably remembers he's a vampire, and his wound would heal right back.
"Do you have your sword with you?" He asked a question I didn't even think he'll ask. Is he mad?,
of course I know the sword he's talking about, Marcus sword, carved out of an Elders blood, only true bloods have it, and True bloods ended with The clan's war, Connor being one himself of course has this sword but gave it to me two decades ago, when he found His demon side, this sword is used to kill powerful Vampires and Demons, but Connor doesn't need it, he's both, he can kill the most powerful of them with just a flex of his wrist, he had given it to me as a birthday gift, now I wonder what he wants it for, don't tell me he.......
"Nicholas!" Connor's voice Jolted me out of my thoughts,
"I want it now, do you have it?" He asked forcefully, I hate the aura I feel in the room, something's wrong.
"Give it!" Connor said again, I slowly nodded no,
"I didn't bring it here Connor, it's in the palace" I said quietly
"What is wrong with you, the sword isn't to be kept in the palace, it's for use, it's not for decoration for Goddess's sake!" He yelled at me.
"It's not war time Connor, you know quite well that donning the sword means war or means a powerful demon has to be crushed and that's not the case Connor, so I've got no reason to take it around with me"
"Well what are you waiting for?, an offer to go get it?, go get it now!" Connor said yelling, for a calm man, he's been yelling a lot lately. I shook a little, very few people has the ability to unnerve me and right now I hate Connor for being one of the few.
"Look sir, why don't you..... I mean why don't we all go together?, if he goes and comes back, that will take twice as long, and right now your mate doesn't have much time to live." Doctor Smith said after swallowing the lump in his throat.
"OK then, what are we waiting for?, let's go." He said, not waiting a second before scooping Ava up in his arms.
We got to the to Garage before you could say Jack, Connor carrying Ava has gently as fuck, I can't believe my eyes, just few months ago, they were sworn enemies and now they're suddenly lovers.
"My car can go superfast Connor, why don't you ride in it?" I asked him as I ordered someone to get me it's key from the security room.
"Well, where's the car?" Connor asked me suspiciously.
"Over there" I pointed without looking, waiting for the guard to bring the key, time is not on our side.
"Where?" He asked again.
"There, of course" I said, this time looking as I pointed, Wtf, where the hell is my car?, I parked the car there myself.
"Don't play games with me Nicholas, where's the freak?" He said in a answer me or fuck the devil's voice.
"My car's no freak OK?" No one calls my baby a freak. But at the sight of his face.
"OK maybe, a sexy freak, that's OK, but trust me I left the lady here, I promise" I told him.
"I've got no time to banter with you, Ava needs...."
"Where the hell is Alaina?" I asked as if a bulb has just been lit in my head.
"Alai...what!, look forget it, I'll get Ava to the palace, meet me there as soon as you find your ugly lady, better still have Lucas to bring me the sword" Connor said and disappeared before our eyes, is he going to get to the palace on foot?, I know he'll make the Journey of two to three hours in 20 to 25 minutes, but Ava?... She'll be fine with him, now who has the motherfucking guts to move my baby?, Like an answer to my question, the guard I sent to get the key appeared.
"Your highness, I searched the whole room but the key is missing." He said face down.
"Your highness, the CCTV caught Miss Alaina leaving in the lady." A security guard said, confirming my suspicion.
"Useless, a whole bunch of you couldn't even stop one Chicken looking Lady from taking the lady, if Sexy even has a scratch...." I left the word hanging, making them sweat, I know as much as they do, Alaina is no chicken, though I admit she's quite pretty, I also admit she's no lady, but a warrior and a freaking sadist, I should have killed the freak when I had the chance, fuck!, I brought out my phone and dialed a number, by my calculations, if she had really taken the lady, she'll be in the palace by now. The phone only rang once before he answered it.
"Alaina?, good, Make sure she doesn't get away, tell them she tried to kill Grand Elder's mate, here's the second thing I want you to do, Get doctors, lots of them, they'll be needed, one more thing Lucas, Get Marcus Sword before Connor gets to the palace, yes he's coming, he's coming Lucas, fast and angry."
