Unbelievable by Haley McGill M (books to improve english txt) 📖

Test my reflexes?” I say demanding. Scott stands and walks over to me, wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling me toward him. I barely have enough time to say something before his mouth is on mine again, desperate almost. This time it’s interjected by Cam, who pushes me away from Scott and backhands him across the face, i think i almost see red in scotts eyes. Cam turns on me and grabs my upper arm, turning to the door, he rushes me out of the room with such force I almost trip over my own feet. Chapter 12

Cam had just scrambled through all the kids before he steered us to a janitors closet and shoved me inside while locking the door behind him. I stood there, breathing heavily while he narrowed his eyes at me.

“What do you think you were doing?” He finally asks me.

“What do you mean? I didn’t do anything! If you hadn’t left and stopped him, this wouldn’t have happened!” I shoot back at him.

“I left because I thought he wouldn’t do anything! You could have stopped him or something instead of giving in.” He yells.

“I-I don’t know. He was holding on to me so tight and I couldn’t move! Uh, and I-I couldn’t help it.” I stammer. Trying to remember why i actually kissed him back.

“Dammit.” He says with a sigh.

“What?” I ask him.

“You are the chosen one” He whispers in a hush voice that I can barely hear.

“The what? What are you talking about?” I ask bewildered. Just then, his gaze shoots towards me and he study’s me for what seems like hours but turns into seconds, because when I realize it, he’s walking towards me. He’s so close now I can feel the heat radiating off him. He shoves me back into a shelving unit and I wince. He grabs me by my chin and forces me to look up at him. I resist at first but his hold tightens and I'm forced to look up into his beautiful green eyes. He leans in more and I swear he’s about to kiss me, but he leans past my cheek and whispers something that sounds like ‘sorry’ into my ear. I jerk back and look into his dark black eyes-wait, dark black? I look into his eyes even deeper and a wave of dizziness passes over me and I'm forced to collapse to the ground with a thud before my eyes flutter shut.

Chapter 13

Something stirs me awake. I don’t know what it is, but I do know that I'm not ready to wake up. I slowly open my eyes and am rewarded with more darkness. I try to focus my eyes on something-anything- but I cant. I start to sit up and realize I’ve been laying on something hard and wooden that’s making my back hurt. I swing my legs over the edge of the-presumably- table that I'm lying on and rub my eyes with my hands. I stick my hand out and feel for something to hold onto when a door swings open and light pours into the room. There’s a tall man standing in the doorway, but the light is blinding me and I can’t see him well.

“Savannah, how very nice to meet you.” The man says and starts towards me.How does he know my given name? I grip onto the edge of the table and he stops about 4 feet away.

“Who are you? Where am I?” I ask him, trying to focus on his features. He's tall, young-about 3 years older than me- and very toned. If I tried to fight him, there’s no way I would last.

“I, am Loki.” He answers plainly.

“Where am I? Why am I here?” I ask louder.

“That’s not important. What’s important is that you are finally here.” He says through a friendly, yet scary smile. I open my mouth to say something, but soon forget when he steps closer. He raises his hand and gently brushes his knuckles across my cheek, while gazing at me. I'm to dumbstruck to act, but he’s not. He leans closer, about to completely close the distance between us when another person runs through the door. Not just anyone.

Cam.

“Loki, leave her alone!” he shouts, but sounds more annoyed then alarmed. Loki steps back with a smile on his face.

 

Why is everyone trying to kiss me?

“Oh come on, I was just having a little fun. It’s been a while since a girl this beautiful step foot on our grounds.” Loki says and shoots a look at Cam, “or should I say ‘since a girl was carried onto our grounds’.” He adds with a smug smile. Cam shoots me a look that has regret written all over it but it quickly vanishes when he walks over to me and helps me off the table.

“Are you alright?” he asks me. I grab onto his shoulder for support because I think my knees just might give out. I give a little nod.

“Where am I?” I ask him.

“My home.” He says and gives a small smile.

“Do most houses have random rooms with wooden tables in the middle of them?" I ask and scowl.

“Yeah, well, It’s not an ordinary house.” He says and turns towards Loki.

“Do me a favor and tell dad she’s fine and we’ll be down in a while.” He says. Loki smirks and glances at me one last time before turning towards the door.

“What? What’s going on Cam?” I ask him and back away. Hurt almost touches his eyes. 

“You’ll find out in a bit Satan.” He says and steps towards me. I step back again and bump into the table.

“Who was that boy? Was he your brother?” I ask him.

“Yes, he’s my brother. And you’re going to meet my father too.” He says with a frown and lowers hs eyes a bit. 

Chapter 14

Damn.

Whatever building I'm in is huge. We've walked down 8 hallways so far and up 3 flights of stairs. Cam just leads me along the way and I catch Loki glancing at me every few minutes.

Cam didn't explain much when we left that dark room, but he did explain that I'm meeting his father, who is a ‘very important’ man and that I need to watch what I say to him.
We walk up one more flight of stairs and Cam walks to a huge doorway and stops.

“Father.” Is all he says. I hear a man clear his throat around the doorway and Cam steps into the room. He turns to me and nods to come towards him.

I do.

As I enter the room I notice 4 men in black suits standing around a desk. Behind the desk is one creepy ass man. He’s got jet black hair that flows over his forehead, and completely black eyes. He, is also wearing a black suit. From the looks of it, he looks like big foot; he has to be at least 7 feet tall.

“Hello Bethany.” He says through a tight smile. His voice is low and, well, scary to be honest.

“Hi.” I choke out. He smirks at me and sets a pen down that I didn’t even notice he was holding.

“I trust that dear Cameron has not given you a hard time.”

“Yes.” I say and swallow. Cam stiffens next to me when his father opens the drawer in his desk.

“Father.” He says in a warning tone.

“Don’t, Cameron.” His father warns back. What’s going on? His father sets something heavy on his desk, and when I look to see what It is I let out a gasp. It’s a pistol.

“Don’t be alarmed, Bethany. I wouldn’t hurt you.” He says and grins at me.

“How do you know my given name? People call me Satan.” I say while trying to keep my eyes away from the gun.

“I knew your father, Savannah.”
Everything seems to stop. Including my heart and mind.

“Wh-what?” I screech.

“Let me tell you this straight.” He says to me and looks at Cam. “Get out.” He tells him. Cam looks at me for a brief second and leaves the room. His father gets up and sits on a couch that I hadn't even noticed. He pats the spot next to him and I walk over slowly and sit down.

“I knew your father. The day you were born I went to visit your mother and I caught her call you Savannah, before she yelled at me to leave the hospital.” He says and frowns. Before I can even get a word out, he places his hand on my knee and silences me. “I'm going to tell you this very bluntly.”

“O-okay.” I say.

“You’re father was a demon, your mother is an angel. You are half demon and half angel, my dear. You will be gaining you powers the moment you turn 17. Cameron and my family are demons. Not half, but full. You are the ‘chosen’ one because you are the only half blood in this world.”

Everything clicks at once. It’s like a switch just went off and everything he just said makes sense. I'm not even curious. It’s like I already know all this.

“How did that
