CHAPTER 32

~LILY'S POV~

Waking up with a groggy head and a high fever was not a deal, especially to wake in a dark airy room that i actually thanked was cold at this present time, but I had no idea where i was.

I just remember Aiden injected me with something and Joy.

I gasp to myself in memory.

Joy!!

Is she okay?

Is she alive?

I can'r lose her too. They killed my parents and i don't want to lose Joy too. I'll have no one and Aiden would of taken everyone from me.

Fresh memories of my mom's and dad's death flood my mind as soon as my mind becomes clear from waking up and I just burst into tears all over again.

I'll never see them again, they were my family even without being blood related.

Continuing to sob as I lean up against the cold brick wall in this cell like room and pulling my knees upto my chest. I'm scared, alone and morning the death of my mom and dad that were killed in front of me.

My head feels like it could now burst from the pain of crying so hard but I didn't care. What else would I have to live for if I die that way. It's likely Joy is dead and why the hell would my soulmates come looking for me when they know I've rejected them. They probably would think I wouldn't want them too, but I do.

Oh god I do.

I need them more than ever and save me from ever I am.

"Lily. stop crying. You are fine."

I ignore him and refuse to look his way when I saw his figure at the bars of my cell.

"You can't ignore me forever Lily."

"Go away Aiden."

I whimpered from my current cry to them wipe my eyes constantly from the tears. I heard him sigh from the bars.

"Lily, please. Just stop crying. He'll hear and come down." Aiden

I scoff to roll my eyes at him but still refusing to stare down at the black stone floor.

"How can I when you killed my mom and dad. Joy probably dead too because of you!"

This time I turned around to look at him as he leaned up against the bars with one arm hanging inside.

"I didn't kill them. Marcus men did and Joy is alive, well she was when we left." Aiden

"Who's Marcus?"

I squinted my eyes at him. I could barely see him actually, just his figure, but not his face or the color of his clothes he wears.

"That would be me my dear." ??

Another man, slightly shorter than Aiden but bigger built came to view. Like Aiden I couldn't see his face but something felt off with him.

"W-who are you?"

"My name's Marcus. It's nice to finally meet you."

For some reason I could imagine this man smiling.

"What do you want with me?"

He laughed for a brief second and Aiden became still and quiet at the bars next to him.

"I want to use you. Use you to make those so called kings of mine loose their minds and become who they truly are and lift all the laws they put in place." Marcus

"Why? They wouldn't care now. I rejected them."

His head moved up and down to which I assume he's nodding.

"Yes that's true. My informant told me so. But its interesting to know how little you know about this whole soulmate stuff. You see even with the rejection the bond can still be there if your heart truly didn't believe your words." Marcus

Oh.

"I didn't know that."

He chuckles again.

"There seems to be more you don't know Lily." Marcus

"What do you mean?"

"You'll find out soon enough. Its only been 24 hours and the kings, well atleasst three of them have caused up a storm in a near by village." Marcus

What did they do?

They're looking for me?

"I can see those wheel turning in your little mind Lily." Marcus

He sounds amused by my cluelessness and it bothers me. With my crying slowly now coming to a stop while I talk to him, my breathing started to pick up with a hot flash.

"Are you a vampire too?"

"Oh yes I am Lily. I thought that would of been clear to you by now." Marcus

There was a pause in the room and I noticed how Aiden shifted to remove his arm from the bars.

"I guess in your current situation. You won't be able to think clearly." Marcus

He darkened his tone of voice which would normally scare but I started to burn up and a rush of pain erupted from my lower back.

I whined and fell to the sit and onto the floor. Aiden moved towards the lock of the cell but Marcus moved his hand in front of him to stop him.

"Don't boy. Remember who turned you." Marcus

Aiden pauses to then move back and sigh but I turned to my sight and curl in a ball now to shaking from fear. This is the hottest I've ever felt from fever.

I don't care right now that Aiden is a vampire I just want out of hear and to a hospital which I clearly need.

"She's going to be a lost cause i think, If i didn't kill her myself the fever certainly will." Marcus

"But that would shorten your plan if she dies." Aiden

"It would but it can't be helped. There's very little she knows and things just got interesting." Marcus

What?

Why is he now talking like I'm not here?

"Well good luck with surviving the night Lily. It would be nice for you to join us upstairs if you do." Marcus

I don't want to go upstairs unless i'm being freed. God knows what his plan would be.

"Lets go boy. We have things to do." Marcus

"Yes sir." Aiden

Marcus disappears from bars and only left a figure of Aiden standing there. Watching me like I was a pet in a zoo but I didn't care right now. I needed to push through this fever.

"Aiden!!! Now!!" Marcus

I flinched at the shouting from further down, outside my cell. Aiden looked away and then back to me before walking away from sight.

I will live through this. I have to.

I won't let this fever beat me, I can't, I won't.
