Chapter 46 Chaos

|LEILA CROSS|

"I didn't know this,"

I mumble to myself. I totally forgot that Wyatt is just beside me so probably, he hears what I tell myself.

"I have a hunch but I didn't know, it's like this," he says near my ears that's why I unconsciously take a move forward.

"Oh, I remember you said, Lawrence being a wannabe vampire, is this because of this drug? Do you also know Martin?" I throw him questions that I badly needed an answer to clarify what I am thinking for the past few days.

I want to think of simple things, not like all of these complicated things that make my head throb in pain.

"Martin?" He asks me but I didn't look at him and continued watching the vampires inside the cells lined up on each of our sides.

I did not answer him and take a step forward to look closely at the prisoners inside the cells but in an attempt to take a step forward, they all shout as if they have found their prey after a long time.

They are...

They look like they haven't yet had their meal and they are aiming at my direction as if I was the one they were waiting for all this time. The growls, the hunger immense hunger in their bloodshot eyes, and their eagerness to reach me are scaring the hell out of me.

"Freaking hell!" I mutter under my breath as I take a step backward that I didn't notice I bump into Wyatt who's also wondering what just happened.

My ears could bleed anytime because they are still trying to reach me as if they will die once I disappear in the air. Their hands are out of the cell but they can't reach me. That alone assures me but I'm still under the system of shock.

"Don't move. Don't even try to get near them, Iris...," it's as if reality hits me, I roll my eyes when I feel his hot breath on the side of my neck causes me to step aside but automatically walk back when a vampire on my left almost grab my shoulder.

I hear him click his tongue.

"You're so stubborn," I shake my head and start to walk towards the direction of the end of the hallway.

I want to see the drugs they're producing that they need to freaking put those vampires in a cell.

Everything's in chaos.

Three steps and we found ourselves flying backward when a strong force suddenly falls in front of us.

I still haven't grasped the whole situation when I feel a movement on my left as the air blows my hair away from my face but specks of dust are all over the place causes me to close my eyes for a moment that I regretted doing so.

I found myself just at the far corner of the room where different tools that you can see in a laboratory where I plan to go to earlier. Not only that.

I was being held by a person on my neck.

"Now, now. What a surprise! I don't need to force you because you, yourself already walk into my trap," laughing devilishly, he sounds familiar.

"Iris!" I blink my eyes and roam it to look for him.

And there, I saw him.

He is being restrained by two persons who are wearing a black cloak to cover their identity as well as masks for their faces. I gulp the lump in my throat as I kind of feel defeated already but I'm strong.

I can free myself from the devil at my back and kill whoever is hurting Wyatt right before my eyes.

I blink twice when the person on Wyatt's right moves down his hood and I can see his face as clear as the moonlight on the outside.

"Caesar?" I ask under my breath but the person who's strangling me laughs all of a sudden.

"Oh, I see...," he mutters and I can only roll my eyes and wait for the time to move and kill them with my hands.

This war should stop as soon as possible for I just want to rest and think nothing. I can also feel bad air lurking around. It's as if there's something bad that will happen and I'm sure that I will not be going to like it.

"Ah!" My head moves towards the direction of the sound that I hear.

"Wyatt!" I shout absentmindedly.

I see him nearly dropping on his knees but he's hardly trying not to move according to the two men who are trying to hurt him.

What did they do?!

It seems like they injected him or something because for all I know. he's too strong to even kneel on the ground. What are they planning at all?!

"Try harder, David!" Caesar hisses to the other man trying to hurt Wyatt.

"Lawrence! What do you want?" I sternly ask the person at my back but he only laughs at what I ask him. I grit my teeth and clenched my jaw in frustration.

"I just need to take you away from here, " and he laughs like a psychopath.

"Don't you dare!" I close my eyes shut and didn't look at Wyatt because I can't seem to watch him trying to get away from Ceasar and David's tight grip.

Until then, before Lawrence can take me out of this place, thick smoke scatters all over the place and I take it as my advantage because Lawrence slightly loosens his grip on my neck.

I cough the lump in my throat and breathe as I elbowed Lawrence thrice until he no longer can't tighten his grip and kick him on his knee.

I hurriedly run from him even though the smoke is not helping at all. I cough and cough. I can already feel the pain in my throat, my nose, and my eyes.

It stings!

But my luck stops there. A hand grips both of my shoulders as I am dragged towards somewhere I don't know. But feeling his familiar aura and smelling the scent of his blood, I knew things will go wrong again.

"Caesar, freaking get your hands off of me!" I shout and wiggle around so that he can no longer touch me.

I can feel pain on my shoulders and hands but I didn't give up.

A hard slap is what I receive from him. Blood instantly flows down from the side of my lips. Thank goodness that I take the pill for suppressing the scent of my blood or else my body parts are already scattered around the floor and Vampires will flock around it.

Thinking about it makes me want to vomit all the things that I took inside my stomach.

"Shut it!"

I close my eyes and do everything that I can to get myself of Caesar's grip until a familiar voice resonates the whole place.

"Stop or Alisa will die!"
