/> “ hey you,” I whispered.
“ hey yourself,” he said holding me closer to him. He was looking at me worriedly. I reached my hand up and touched his jaw, and he flinched and I pulled my hand away.
“ S- sorry,” I whispered looking away from him. He grabbed my hand and put it back to his cheek, and I looked back at him, and he gave me a warm smile. I smiled back barring my face into his chest. He held my closer, and I felt his lips touch the top of my head.
“ I was so worried about you,” He sighed.
“ So you do care,” I laughed my voice breaking.
“ Of course,” he whispered. we heard the door opening again, and my dad rushed in with another man following behind him. He was tall, pale guy with black hair that covered his eyes, and was kind of spiky.
“ Markus heal her,” My dad said looking at me. “ Patch lay her down so Markus can heal Lillenette,” My dad said eyeing patch. Patch continued to hold onto me not putting me down. “ Patch…” My father said coldly. I tugged on Patch’s shirt and he looked down at me, and I just looked at him with pleading eyes. he laid me down onto the cold ground and my body shivered. Patch stayed close to me, and Markus knelt down next to me, and Patched glared at him. Wow protective much?
“ if you hurt her, I’ll break your neck,” patch growled… and yes he freaking growled! Like a full on growl. I shook my head letting out a small laugh, and patch looked down at me rolling his eyes. Markus placed one of his hands on my forehead, and his other hand on my stomach, and I bit my lip, because my stomach was badly cut up.
“ Sh,” Markus whispered. he closed his eyes, and I tried to relax my body, and I felt this strange tingling feeling in my stomach, and it slowly spread throughout the rest of my body. I slowly started to relax, because I was starting to feel much better. My stomach wasn’t hurting anymore, and I felt like I was brand new. Markus opened his eyes, and they were as light as the sky. I was mesmerized. He gave me a small showing his pearly whites. I smiled back, and I heard Patch growl, and I turned my head, and looked at him, and he was shooting daggers at Markus. Markus stood up aware of the daggers being sent to him and backed away. he walked back over to my dad’s side, and looked down quietly. I stood up, and looked down at my blood stained clothing, and I lifted up my shirt a little to look at my stomach, and I was fully healed. I pulled my shirt back down looking at Markus in amazement.
“ Thank you,” I said. He looked up at me, and I saw pure shock in his eyes. He nodded his head and smiled. I smiled back and turned around and felt two bodies press up against me. Johnny and Dan both gave me a hug at the same time and I was squashed between the two. “ Gee guys,” I gasped.
“ We were so worried!” they both said at the same time. I let out a laugh, and wrapped my arms around both their necks, and smiled.
“ Ditto,” I sighed. They pulled away, and I sat Joanna looking at me, and he took a step closer to me, and wrapped his arms around me, and held me tightly.
“ Thank god you’re okay,” he whispered into my ear, so no one else could hear.
“ Why do you seem so worried?” I whispered back.
“ Because if anything would of happened to lead you to die… I don’t think patch would of made it,” he whispered. back. We pulled away and I looked at him raising an eyebrow. He just shrugged his shoulders. I rolled my eyes at him, and then patch, Joanna, and my dad where all staring at me.
“ What?” I asked. Joanna and patch broke out into laughter’s. “ This isn’t a time to be laughing,” I grumbled still not knowing why they are laughing in the first place.
“ What…. Happened to your hair?” Joanna asked between laughs. I gawked at him with my jaw hanging open, and I flicked him off rolling my eyes.
“ Ask them,” I mumbled pointing towards Johnny and Dan. Joanna and patch looked over at Dan and even patch let out a laugh looking at them.
“ You guys look like troubled teens,” Patch muttered shaking his head.
“ Like troubled supernaturals,” My dad spoke up. I jumped a little, because I totally forgot that he was even there. “ You guys we gotta get you outta here,” My dad said looking around. “ I’ll tell them that I took care of you five, and it’s done and over with,” My dad whispered.
“ Dad…” I asked looking at him. He looked up at me. “ What will happen to the others?”
“ I ugh…” He stopped. I shook my head.
“ Dad you can’t kill them,” I whispered. my dad looked down and he sighed rubbing the back of his neck.
“ Ugh,” He groaned.
“ Dad…” I whispered again. He looked at me. “ Dad how could you of killed innocent people, because of something that is not even in their grasp?”
“ Ugh….” He started but he sighed shaking his head. “ I can’t come up with an excuse for that one Hun… I killed them because it was my job. I never even gave it a second thought about them I just did as I was told and I know that it is wrong… it was very wrong…. But I am going to make it right,” He whispered.
“ How?”
“ I am going to get rid of the Lukris home, and all of their employees, and make sure no one ever knows about it… I will take in the supernaturals, and teach them about their powers, and will not let another person die…. I promise…” my father said.
“ You can’t promise something like that…….” I said shaking my head.
“ I already did,” he said smiling at me. as mad as I was I couldn’t stay mad at him. I ran towards him, and wrapped my arms around his neck.
“ I love you dad,” I whispered.
“ I love you too Lillenette,” he whispered back running his hand though my hair. I pulled back, and let out a sigh. “ Alright we are gonna head out of here, and get you all somewhere safe,” My dad said straightening out his shirt. We nodded our heads, and followed him towards the door. “ We need to watch out… those men that caught you… they don’t work for me, they work with me. if they see us, and they will eventually find out what happened they will kill us all, so we need to get out of here, and get you all into hiding quickly, and then I am going to gather as many supernaturals as I can that will fight with me, and save the rest of the kids….” My dad said. I nodded my head. We made our way towards the door, and my dad stopped, and turned around and looked at Markus. “ Markus are you in, or are you out?” My dad asked. I looked at Markus and our eyes connected.
“ I’m in,” he replied.
Chapter twenty four-
“ You’re kidding me right…” I mumbled staring at the guys, and my dad.
“ Do you have a smarter idea?” My dad asked. I sat there, and thought about it for a couple of minutes and came up with nothing.
“ It’s dangerous though…” I said looking down… god my dad has come up with a plan that me, Joanna, patch, Johnny, Dan, and Markus we sneak out the back of the building, and go find a safety place as far away from here as possible, and my dad is going to try and distract them. What if they caught my father? What if they hurt him, or even kill him.
“ Mika?” Markus asked.
“ Ugh Mika?” Joanna asked.
“ Mika is my father’s name,” I muttered. Joanna nodded his head and I sat there. “ Dad why don’t you just run with us? Why do you have to stay behind…” I mumbled shaking my head.
“ Lillenette if they find us I want you guys to be able to get away, and I don’t want you to get caught. If I stay behind in the first place then I will know you all are safe, and I will come,” my dad said.
“ You don’t know that,” I whispered.
“ Don’t know what?”
“ You don’t know if you’ll come back safe….” I said whispering.
“ I promise you I will…”
I stood up and shook my head.
“ don’t promise that,” I laughed. Why am I laughing?
“ Lilz..”
“ Let’s just get this over with,” I whispered turning away from him. I heard my dad sigh, and he started to walk away, and the rest of the guys walked towards the back of the building and I lingered behind them. I was looking down trying to keep myself from crying. Im too worried about my dad. I ran into someone’s back and I stumbled back grabbing my nose. I looked up and saw patch looking down at me. I looked up at him, and did a faint smile. He wrapped his arms around me, and kissed my forehead.
“ Your dad is going to be okay,” he whispered. I nodded my head, and patch wrapped his arm around my waist and we walked behind the rest of the guys. We got to the door at the back, and everyone stopped. I stepped forward and looked out one of the windows. There was dozens of abandon, and broken down buildings before we got to the road.
“ once we got out we have to run, and can’t stop,” Joanna said. Everyone nodded their heads and I did the same. I looked back peering through the building. I felt someone’s hand on my shoulder, and I turned around and saw patch looking at me.
“ Are you ready?” Patch asked. I took a deep breath and nodded my head. Johnny opened the door, and we bolted through the door. The guys where fast! I was short, and I have short legs so I am like going to die trying to keep up with them. Patch slowed down and ran next to me, and he grabbed my hand and pulled me along. DAMN!
“ Patch! I can… run… this fast!” I panted.
“ just run!” He mumbled. I shook my head, and my breathing was becoming harder. We past about seven buildings know, and then a gunshot filled the air. My legs stopped moving, and patch let go of my hand. I whipped my head around.
“ Dad,” I whispered searching through the building looking for him. God please no… please no… Patch grabbed my arm, and tried pulling me towards him and I ripped my arm away from him. “ NO!” I cried. I turned on my heel, and tried running back, but patch grabbed me by my waist, and hauled me over his shoulders, and broke out into a run. “ Patch you put me down!” I yelled. He started to run faster, and the way he carried me he acted as though I weighed nothing. I started to hit his back,
