Chapter Eleven
I was woken by the sound of keys entering the cell door. I began to open my eyes, however I couldn't really open then from the light beaming into them. I groaned slightly as I tried to get my eyes to adjust, but the bright lights wouldn't allow me too. I saw a figure come towards me.
The figure didn't say a word, they just came close to me. I couldn't tell who it was, whether it was Namjoon or someone else. I hoped it had been Namjoon but it wasn't. As the figure came in front of me. He blocked out the light as he squatted in front of me, enabling me to see the face of who it was in front of me.
He put his hand over my mouth and began to drag me out. Out the cell and into another room. I still couldn't see exactly where I was going because of the lights. I couldn't scream, only struggle and scratch at him as he pulled me along.
I could feel tears forming in my eyes as I was dragged. I knew whatever was about to happen wasn't good. I was pulled into a room that I assume as at the end of the corridor of cells. I don't think anyone knew I was being taken away, even if they heard, they wouldn't be able to see.
Once I was in the room I was thrown up against a wall. It was dark in the room so I could see. I'm not even surprised to see who had taken me, and I know that it really won't end well at all.
"You can't escape from me now, and I don't think he's coming to save you any time soon either" Ed said in a sinister voice. I was scared, really scared. I knew he didn't have a problem with hurting girls, or anyone for that matter. But he seemed out to get me, more than usual.
"Why are you doing this to me? I've not done anything to you?" I quivered, trying to move away from him, but the wall behind me wouldn't let me. His face was so close to mine, I just wanted to attack him, but he had his on both my hands and his knees on my legs, preventing me from moving any more.
"You did enough by just being here. Anyway, we wouldn't need this if your new found friend didn't come and try to save you last night" he whispered into my ear. My legs were in so much pain as his body weight laid on them.
"He's not my friend, he's nothing to me" I spat at him. It pained me to say that he was nothing, when he wasn't. He was so much more than that, even if I didn't want to admit it. He smiled and stood up. I stayed on the floor and pulled my legs up to my chest, watching for his next move.
"Stand up" he said with a stern voice. I did what he said and didn't argue against it. The less I said, the less damage I would make.
He looked out of the door slightly to make sure no one was there. I assume to make sure Namjoon wasn't there. I hated how much I had to depend on him recently, but he needed to get here, I couldn't get out of this alone, he was so much bigger than me and I'd become weaker than usual for the past couple of days as I've been here.
"You know they thought you were the princess until you fainted, because you are too pathetic to be her" he said and walked closer to me. His eyes were cold as he looked at me. I wanted to look away from him but I didn't want to risk not noticing what he was going to do next. He grabbed a hold of my jaw and squeezed it tightly.
Thankfully vampires have a bone structure stronger than anyone else, or else I'm pretty sure my jaw could have been in bits by now. I kneed him in the groin in an attempt to get him to let go of me. It worked, but it only made him angry.
"You are going to regret that" he stated and started walking towards me. I tried moving around the small room trying to get away from him. No matter where I went he blocked me. I couldn't get to the door even if I tried.
His hand wrapped around my throat as he pushed me up against the wall again. I could feel myself trying to gasp for air as he tightened his grip around my throat and began to lift me up from the ground slightly.
"You know, I was going to leave your face since it's so pretty but I changed my mind" he whispered to me and let go of my neck, making me drop to the floor. I felt my side being kicked as I fell to the floor. It was the same side he had elbowed me hard before, only adding to the bruise. I held onto my side and stood up.
"Aren't you going to hit me back?" he teased as I felt his fist make contact with my mouth. My head spun, causing my face to slam into the cold brick wall. My started to feel dizzy slightly from the impact my head hit the wall at. I could taste my own blood against my lips and I felt the top of my eyebrow, feeling the blood that had started to come out of the wound that had been mad from hitting the wall.
"What a shame, you're not so pretty anymore now are you?" he spat. I could feel the anger build up inside me. I pulled myself up and remembered what Jimin had taught me. I stood and watched him. Waiting to see for any indications of him about to attack.
I noticed his hands clench as he saw me look at him, waiting. I looked towards his feet incase he moved a step forward before throwing some sort of punch. He suddenly took a step forward, indicating for me to move as fast as I could behind him. I remembered what Jimin has said to do in order to by my time for myself. I kicked behind one of his knees causing him to collapsed to the floor.
I took full advantage of his collapsed state by instantly stomping onto his back, making him lie flat onto the floor. I kicked his side like he did to me. He yelped in pain as I continuously kicked him.
"Just because I may look weak, don't underestimate me. I am a lot stronger than you think" I spat and ran over to the door. I tried opening it but I couldn't, it was locked and needed a key to open it. I was stuck and he was starting to stand up again, looking a lot angrier than before. I could hear the sound of foot steps making their way down the stairs at the end of the corridor. I knew the best way to get the attention was if he tried to attack me again.
I ran over to the other side of the room away from the door as he started to walk towards me. He had been blinded by anger, he hadn't noticed the noise of others outside, he only noticed me as a target. He leaped towards me grabbing a hold of my throat once again. I yelped in an attempt to grab the attention of whoever was out there. They heard.
"What the hell was that? Where is she?" I heard a deep voice say, it sounded like Namjoon, I hoped it was.
"It came from that room" I heard a higher pitched voice say, I couldn't tell who had said it. Ed had heard them talking and his eyes widened as he looked at me. I was still gasping for breaths but I could feel that I could start slipping away into unconsciousnous sooner rather than later.
He let go of me, but it wasn't as simple as that. He practically threw me to the ground as he waited for the others to enter the room. I held onto my hip as it was the first thing to hit the ground as I watched the door being unlocked.
The door flew open and a very angry looking Namjoon entered with his sunglasses on. He took his sunglasses off, he looked over to me and saw the cuts on my face and how I was holding onto my side. He looked back at Ed stood there, looking angrily back at him. I saw how Namjoons eyes turned a bright red, like he was out for blood, like he was about to kill.
I looked over to Jungkook and J-hope who were stood behind Namjoon, they looked back at me concerned. Jhope instantly ran over to me as he noticed Namjoon was clearly too busy sizing Ed up and slowly walking closer to him.
"What have you done to her?" Namjoon said, closing the space between himself and Ed, his eyes glaring the red. As much as Ed was trying to continue to look tough, you could see that the way his eyes had changed had effected him a lot more than he'd like to admit.
"She got what she deserved, maybe I should have killed her." he spat back at Namjoon. His words instantly triggered something off inside of him, causing him to grab his neck hard and slam him against the wall. I could see blood starting to drip down the back of his head.
"Stop it" I shouted at Namjoon. As much as I wanted him dead, I wanted to do it myself one day. For now we had better things to do, like get out of here.
"Go on, kill me, you might as well. It's what you are good at" Ed sneered at him, I knew Namjoon would in an instant. But he looked over to me and I looked back at him as I began to stand up
"He's not worth it" I said quietly. He looked down at the floor and bit his lip.
"You're lucky" he spat at him before lifting his arm and punching him around the face. Hard enough to knock him out. He then let go of him, letting his body fall to the floor.
I stood up, J-hope had ahold of my hand as I leant onto him. Jungkook walked over to Namjoon to snap him out of whatever kind of trance he was in.
"You need to wear these" J-hope said and handed me a pair of sunglasses. I put them on a walked over to Namjoon who was looking down at Ed unconscious body laying on the floor.
"I'm fine, I got enough kicks in myself" I laughed slightly in an attempt to reassure Namjoon so that we could leave. He turned and looked at me, his eyes were back to normal. He looked sad as he saw the cuts on my face.
"We need to go now" Jungkook said as he looked at his watch. Namjoon nodded and began to walk out of the room, I followed him. Surprisingly none of the girls had woken up. They were probably too exhausted to know what was going on.
I walked into my cell and shook Holly slightly. She groaned as she began to wake her up. I couldn't help but role my eyes at her. I placed a pair of sunglasses onto her as she opened her eyes so that she could see me properly and not be blinded or harmed by the light in here.
"Alexa, what happened?" She asked as she saw the wounds on my face and instantly sat up. I put my finger on my lips so signal to her to not say a word and stay quiet as I stood up and helped her up. She looked over to Namjoon, Jungkook and J-hope stood at the cell door and looked at me confused.
I held onto her hand as he followed the boys up the stairs. No one said a word. She still looked confused, but had accepted the fact that I'd tell her once it was safe enough. We suddenly stopped as we reached to the top of the stairs. Guards were roaming near the top of the stairs. Both Jungkook and J-hope nodded towards Namjoon before heading to the top of the stairs.
We waited for a few seconds before the came back and signalled that it was safe to carry on. Once we made it to the top of the stairs, I noticed the bodies of guards laying on the floor. I don't think they were dead. Holly's eyes widened as we passed their bodies. We only had 2 corridors to go down.
We followed down both corridors fine without anyone seeing us. I think that is why they had bright lights during the day, to prevent anyone from doing anything. We walked up the stairs that lead to the entrance of the facility.
"Once we get out of here we have to just run okay?" Namjoon said to us. I nodded my head, but I didn't think I'd be able to run, at least not well. His kicks to my sides hurt, they hurt a lot. To the point where even breathing hurt slightly. Namjoon clearly noticed my pain and smiled slightly at me.
We suddenly stopped again. I'm guessing there were more guards outside as Jungkook and J-hope left momentarily before returning again and signalling that it was okay to go.
Once we got to the top and out of the facility, I noticed all the trees that surrounded the facility. I didn't notice it before from the artificial light blaring at me in the darkness, and that I was faced towards the building.
"How far is it to Crescent Moon? I don't think I can run well" I asked as the others turned around. Namjoon instantly walked over to my and squatted in front of me so that I could get on his back.
"You didn't think I'd let you run did you?" he said and smiled to me, revealing his dimples to me. I smiled to him, a bright smile. I was so happy to be outside again and actually breathe.
"Now I get it" Holly said and laughed slightly as she looked at us. Everybody started to run into the forest, I didn't know how far away it would be till we got to Crescent moon. I slept the whole way from there to Quarter moon in the car. Which in fairness could mean I slept for 2 minutes.
It was strange being on Namjoons back as he ran through the trees along with Jungkook, J-hope and Holly. I tried not to think about what had just happened or what was going to happen. For now I just let the wind flow through my hair and admire everything around me. Although I had sunglasses on to dim the light, it was weird seeing all the plants and trees during the day. It wasn't something I was used to.
"What happens if they don't let us in? We'll be killed back at Quarter moon" Jungkook shouted towards me. I hadn't really thought about it of I'm honest. Surely they'll let them in, they helped me and Holly escape and they knew who I was.
"We'll just have to see what happens" Namjoon shouted back at him as we continued to run into the woods. I knew where we were now. We were becoming increasingly close to the stream where I first met Namjoon.
"Stop at the stream, I need to go through a few things first" I said to Namjoon who just nodded.
Once we got to the stream everyone stopped. Namjoon squatted down to the floor so that I could get off his back easily. Once I was off of his back, I hobbled over to a tree to lean on before I spoke to them.
"Okay, so I need to explain to Holly first about what is going on" I said and Holly nodded as she sat on the floor looking up at me.
"Alright I'm just going to be blunt. I had to escape soon because I'm the princess, my eyes go purple during the full moon. That's why no one sees me that day. I met Namjoon before any of this happened in secret and didn't know who he was. Anyway days went by I found out he was Lee's son and wanted to kill him but ended up seeing him again in secret and it turned out we had a bond so I'm kind of stuck with him. But that meant that he could get us out of being kept at Quarter Moon since he wanted to leave anyway because he hates it there" I just said and looked at her reaction. She looked shocked but at the same time not really surprised.
"Also we hate Quarter Moon too and are friends with Namjoon that's why we helped" J-hope put his hand up to add to what I had also said. I nodded at him as he commented.
"Anyway, now I need to talk to you all. So as you know Crescent moon is just through the trees. Now I need to get you three to my room without anyone seeing you first before I find my brother, mum and friends because I need to explain to them what happened. Holly, either you can go back to your own room or stay with me since we will be seeing Jimin" I said, Holly's face automatically went red. I realise I hadn't actually managed to talk to her about Jimin since we'd been at Quarter Moon.
"I'll stay with you" Holly said and I nodded to her.
"Come on then" I said and grabbed ahold of Namjoons hand as we began to walk back into the woods. I wanted to just walk there, not only so that I could try to get used to the pain whilst walking, but also so I could mentally prepare myself for what was about to happen. I was especially worried for what Yoongi was going to say.
