TAKEN BY THE DARK

I could see Will glaring at the door after Tobey left. After a while he turned to me his eyes scanned my face then went down and trained on my bandaged arm, immediately I saw them fill with guilt and then it changed to anger.


"That bastard!" Will spat out angrily "I'm going to kill him for what he did!" He said making his way towards me. "I'm so sorry." He murmured as he finally reached me and gently touched my face. 


"It's okay. It wasn't your fault." I said quietly.


"It was." Will whispered in a pained voice "He did that to you because of me. I should have said yes in the first place. What was I thinking dragging you into all of this and letting you get hurt?" He ran his hands through his hair in exasperation.


"What does he want from you?" I asked in a small voice. Will sighed and looked at me for a while before explaining.


"Have you heard of Grayson Inc.?" I nodded my head in confusion. 


What did one of the biggest companies in the country have to do with any if this?
