Chapter 151: Why Are You Running?

EMMA

~

My chest felt like coming off due to how fast my heart was beating. Each beat was too hefty for

to bear... I have been here for God knows how long, staring at this unexplained thing before my eyes. What was this? A mark? I poke it and it stings making

groan, I felt like I was being kissed by the very iron that branded . A brand? How?

I tried recalling if I was burnt by an iron which was a stupid thing for

to think because I have not gone near any hot iron at all, so how?

I gave off panic breaths. "Calm down Emma calm down" I chid to myself but that seed nearly impossible, who doesn’t freak out when you just suddenly see a brand on your breast? I whined, eyeing the plump red flesh, it was burning so bad and tears were almost leaking from my eyes. I needed to find a way to calm down but the pain couldn’t possibly let . I groaned loudly as I held the sink for support, why was it suddenly hurting so bad? Almost like it was calling for sothing.

"Emma?"

I gasped turning to the door, I quickly covered myself properly as I rushed out of the bathroom and back to the wide room with several bunk beds I awoke in.

"Oh, there you are..." Carly said with a warm smile, she held a pack, my guess was food and mine too. I didn’t realize how hungry I was until now, and thirsty, very, very thirsty.

"Carly," I said, sitting back on the bed, clearing my throat before swiftly adjusting my glasses.

"Owen asked

to get you this, you need food after that toll your body took" she handed the pack to

while taking a seat.

"Where’s Owen?" I asked and she shrugged.

"Busy"

"Busy?"

She chuckled. "Go on, Emma eat"

I nodded, reaching for the burger inside and the cup of drink but then that mark stung again and I groaned.

"You okay?" she asked in a worried tone.

"Y-Yeah I’m fine, just really tired" I mumbled taking a small bite of the burger before taking the drink, I thought I had the appetite but it seems like I didn’t.

"I’m so glad you’re okay, I was so worried when I heard what happened"

fгee??eb??ove??.c??m

"Carly, what’s Owen busy with?" I asked because curiosity was killing , and the way he acted got

overly suspicious so I was curious to know what he was up to.

"Well" she rubbed the back of her neck, she seed hesitant to speak, why?"

"Carly?"

"I’m not supposed to say anything"

"Why?"

She sighed heavily, one thing I knew about Carly was she wasn’t one to keep things, so I knew she would spill whatever it is if I asked desperately.

"Please tell "

She exhaled sharply. "The Devereaux’s" Her leveled gaze t mine. "They are here for so eting"

My heart slamd a loud heartbeat. The Devereaux’s are here? Does that an Dace is here too? My heart suddenly flopped at the re thought of it and my body hollered awake, I felt alive at just that mont and the weirder thing was I was overly certain he was here... how can I tell that? I just knew and the more desperate I got to set my eyes on him.

"That’s all okay... now please eat"

I knew Carly won’t tell

anything further... I will just have to find out for myself.

"I need more" I motioned to the burger I held and she narrowed her eyes at .

"You haven’t even finished that one yet" she mused.

"I’m super hungry," I said, taking a big bite of the burger.

"I can see that... I will get you another one, just stay here okay? You’re still recovering"

I nodded, giving her a smile with a mouthful of burger. I patiently waited as she walked out of the room and I dropped the burger, taking a big gulp of my mouthful before chugging the drink.

I was up to my feet and walked to the door and I opened it leisurely careful so that it wouldn’t make a sound. I looked to my left and seeing she was gone I stepped out and shut the door quietly and twirled.

"Emma"

"Oh my God!" I exclaid, holding my chest before setting my eyes on Henry and Miles, they chuckled at .

"T-That’s not funny I almost had a heart attack"

"What got you so scared?" Henry teased.

"And where are you going? You should be resting"

"I was um.."

"Carly just left to get you another burger, I know you’re super hungry so be patient" Miles intoned.

Why do I get the feeling that they have been out here for quite so ti, were they keeping an eye on ? I cleared my throat.

"Looking for the bathroom" I shrugged.

"Emma there’s a bathroom inside," Henry said with puzzled looks, his hazel eyes focused on . Okay, that was a bad idea, it was the only thing that ca to , that was what they say in movies right and it always works for them, but I guess not right now.

"Oh right um..." I trailed looking back and forth between the two boys and then I did the unthinkable.

I bolted.

"Christ Emma!" I think Miles called but I was ignorant.

What was I doing exactly, why was I running? Oh right, they were keeping an eye on

like I was so prisoner, just when the Devereaux’s were here, no fair!

"EMMA!"

I have never run as fast as this before, well two built boys were after , I was already panting by the ti I walk-run down the stairs and they were gaining on . Why were there many stairs?

"EMMA!"

"Why are you guys after ?!" I demanded turning slightly as I finally descended the trail of stairs.

"Why are you running?!"

Good question, but too late, I twirled and then I slamd a wall, I was pretty sure there was no wall before

so how? The mont I thought gravity was a bitch was when strong arms settled on my waist to keep

steady and a strong warmth flushed through my body, impossible heat and I tilted my head backward, that exact mont, that mark no longer sting.

"Dace!" I said with a strong release of breath.

His looks were murderous and they weren’t directed at . Why do I get the feeling that soone was about to die?
