Chapter 4 Val

Val's POV

I can't lose Nev! I have to beat Blake, but before the fight even began, I smelt blood. When he threw her on the ground she must have hit her head. I had to make this fight quick. I look over at Blake and he's distracted by the blood and I quickly stick my fangs in his throat and rip it all apart and I can't really say what all had happened. I was more focused on getting Nev to a doctor. Once everything was over with.I snapped my fingers and Ren appeared. He's been my best friend for over a century. He's like a butler, secretary, best friend, etc… He was all I ever needed until she was born. She is the one for me and I've waited 4 centuries for her. Whenever I see her, the world stops.

She's the reason I'm alive, I'll do anything for her. I will always be by her side even if it means locking her up. I quickly rushed to check her injuries. She had a slight cut on her forehead but she seemed to be unconscious. I rushed her to the hospital just to make sure nothing else was wrong.

Nevaya's POV

"What happened?" I wake up in the hospital again trying to recollect my thoughts. Suddenly I remembered everything. I search around trying to find Val, but he's nowhere to be seen. I don't know if it's a good or bad thing. I curl up in a ball and try not to cry. "Why does this feeling feel so familiar?" I mumbled to myself. "I don't care who or what you are Val… Please just stop appearing and disappearing. Either leave or don't. You seem to be the only person in this world who cares." I must have hit my head really hard to be saying this but i suddenly feel a slight breeze and then I hear "don't worry Nev, I'm right here." I turned my head to see Val laying right next to me. "Look let's start over, ok? As friends" he said. I turn my body and said "Will you let Jake go?" He responded "If you give me a second chance. You're a target now and it's the only way to keep you safe" I had no strength left and I had a feeling he'd win anyways. Right now I just wanted everyone to be safe. I mean he was always there when I needed it. He then pulled me in for a hug and I played along and put my head on his cold empty chest. He wrapped his arms around me and even though he's cold, he made me feel warm, it felt so familiar.

I had fallen asleep and when I woke up, Val was still right there looking at me. I feel my cheeks heat up and I turn away. He turns me back around and holds me. We stayed like this for a few minutes until I asked him when I could leave. "You can leave whenever, but I don't want you to go back to that house."

"Val where am I supposed to go then? I'm tired of changing home's…" He didn't even hesitate before saying "You're living with me. After all you are mine"

"I just don't understand," I said sitting up.

"Ever since you were born I've been drawn to you. And when I found out about your broken home, I immediately contacted a lawyer and your mother. We made a deal. I'd give her enough money for a clean slate and in return I could have you after you turned 18. Nev you are betrothed to me. You are mine"

I couldn't comprehend what I was hearing. " But what if I don't wanna be yours" I said while standing up to face him. "I AGREED TO A SECOND CHANCE, NOTHING MORE!!! I DON'T WANNA BE YOURS! I LOVE JAKE!!!" I saw his eyes change to red. "I TAKE EVERYTHING BACK> GO AWAY!!!" I screamed and started to cry. Before I knew it, I was up against the wall. He had my hands pinned up against my head and he said, "WHAT WAS THAT?! You really wanna test me?! YOU ARE MINE, do you understand me?!" I couldn't do anything but nod my head and try to hold back my tears. He released his grip and I dropped to the floor. I was shaking so bad my legs couldn't hold my own weight. Vals eyes returned to normal as he picked me off the ground and carried me out to the hall. "Ren, check Nevaya out please." The man nodded his head and Val carried me to the car.
