Chapter 50 Pain

He took a knife out of his pocket and my eyes sparkled devilishly, pain. "What did you do to him!?" He pointed to their leader. I shrugged.

He stabbed me once and suddenly, I saw red for a moment. Not yet, one more, I need another one and they're yours.

"Who the fuc* are you!?" He asked, but then I heard fast footsteps. No! Not now. She's waking up. No, no. Go back!

My eyes turned black as I smirked "Your worst nightmare." I said coldly and he stabbed me once again.

I licked my lips but suddenly I smelled him. Xenon. Oh, shi*! Then my eye color changes to red as my head suddenly looked up but it's not me, it's her.

The man got scared, his eyes widen and he shivered in fear, his body moved uncontrollably in fear as he stepped backward but he was shot by no other than, Xenon.

I keep on bringing my eyes back to normal controlling myself not to kill them, not to kill him.

When the men holding me, let me go. I don't know what was happening as I kneel down focusing on fighting her. My eye color is constantly changing from red to black.

Just then, I won over her and have my control over my body " I know you're acting, stick to it.' She's right, I have to stick to it so I decided to lay down on the ground letting them fight, and closed my eyes, the blood flows continuously out of my body.

Suddenly, I felt warm hands caressing my cheek then my body is being lifted as I smelled him. Xenon. I can hear his fast heartbeat and his breathing... it's deep.

I felt so comfortable from his embrace, why do I felt this comfortable? It makes me want to sleep...

"Don't sleep Claire please." His voice was so sad... Xenon, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?

I can sense him running fast. He stopped as we get inside a car and he put me on his lap. Then the car drives to... I don't know where.

"Open your eyes baby, come on." And I opened my eyes to see him looking straight but I also see a tear flowing down his cheek.

Why are you crying? Who made you cry? My blood boil, I'll kill that bastard who made you cry. I don't like seeing you cry, it's like... something is squeezing my heart... I can feel it, is this sadness?

He's holding me softly avoiding a force while preventing the blood that flows out of my body using his jacket. I lift my hand into his cheek and wipe the tear using the back of my hand, it made him looked at me, at my eyes... He's crying...

"Hold on please, you said you won't leave me... you said it. You won't leave me right?" His eyes are full of hope.

A-are you crying for me? Did I make you cry? No, don't. Don't cry for me... this monster is not worth your tears... I am not worth your tears...

"I won't." My voice... it's soft. Did I become soft for him?

His eyes held shock. Shock for the sudden change of my voice and then... he smiled.

I felt so comfortable in his arms, I want to sleep, just for a moment, a comfortable sleep in his arms...

"I love you..." that's the last words I heard in between his tears before darkness enveloped my essence.

I woke up in a room, it's not the girls' room but with this scent, it's probably Xenon's room. I had the best sleep I can call for over years... I did not say that old man's face, rather I saw Xenon's face, smiling...

"Oh my gosh! You're awake!" "Claire!" I did not realize Drena and Cassy were here, I was spacing out because of him.

They're crying, again... "Oh claire! I thought you'll gonna die... I'm sorry." Cassy said in between her cries.

"Claire, we should have not left you, I'm so sorry..." Drena cried even more.

"You just did the right thing. I'm fine." I said plainly.

"Fine!? You have two stabs and a bullet! And you're fine!?" Drena is mad yelling at me while Cassy sobs.

"I'm sorry Claire. We can't take you in the hospital, they won't let us out of this school..." Cassy is so sad but anger is evident in her eyes. I already expected it because the School Head causes the incident.

I looked around for the boys but they aren't here.

"Xenon was out interrogating one of the men, Adrian rid of the bodies while Coby and Lucas were out looking for medicines," Drena stated while sobbing, she must have sensed me looking for them.

"How many hours I was out?" I asked her blankly.

"3 hours and we're so glad you wake up, it's a miracle! I thought..." Cassy exclaimed but stopped shaking out the thoughts in her head.

"Claire please be strong, don't sleep if you can. Coby and Lucas will be back later with the medicines."Drena pleaded with worry in her eyes.

Suddenly,

"Claire!!!" A girl's voice boomed from downstairs, the door is open so it can be heard.

Oh no, not her.

Drena's POV

"3 hours and we're so glad you wake up, it's a miracle!" Cassy exclaimed, suddenly she turned sad "I thought..." She stopped shaking out her thoughts.

It is indeed a miracle... She woke up within a span of more than three hours considering her condition, she might be dead without medication. Xenon put first aid on her wounds and covered them with bandages, but the bullet is still inside her body while we're still waiting for the proper tools and medicines.

"Claire, please be strong, don't sleep if you can. Coby and Lucas will be back later with the medicines." I pleaded, with these wounds and bullets inside her body she might get in a coma, or worst she will die if she goes back to sleep.

Xenon was furious, he went out to interrogate the man but I think he's taking all of his anger out to that man. Poor man. He was pacing earlier in this room and that's the moment I saw Xenon out of himself. I'm scared myself to see him like that. He's dangerous and untouchable...

And claire, looking at her right now, she's still the normal Claire I knew, emotionless. Can't she feel her wounds to at least react from her state? It's like she doesn't care...

Suddenly, "Claire!!!" A voice of a girl boomed from downstairs.
