Angel POV.
After my chat with Nala, we both finished our food while we both were busy thinking of our future, do I tell her? Do I tell her that I found another room in the house, one that’s meant for a baby, but I’m not a baby and neither is she but what if they try to make us act likes ones, I’m not a child.
“Lunch is over, come on Angel, don’t be too sad, anything is better than our old lives, and I know they are trying to teach me some manners that my mother didn’t, but I’m actually enjoying their attention, I had good family, but I was never the only center of attention,” she says and I looked at her confused, wasn’t she against all of this three minutes ago.
“Don’t give me that look, what else can we do? Run away? You know what they do with the ones that run,” she reminds me, I saw first hand what happened.
“Then let them treat us like children?” I ask her with a raised brow.
“I didn’t have a great childhood, I don’t mind another one,” Nala says.
“What if it doesn’t end? What if we’re in an endless loop?” I say worriedly.
“They’ve been alive for centuries, and they know how to keep themselves entrained and evolving, who knows maybe in a couple centuries I’ll be ready to be an adult again,” Nala says with a sad smile, going toward some other vampires, now I think about it, they were looking at her the whole time, the same way Logan did.
“Hey, did you enjoy your lunch?” Logan says making it over in a couple quick steps coming toward me.
“It was good,” I say although I don’t remember what I was eating, I just ate some food and the lunch as over, talking was more important.
“I heard you were helping Mia and Alec, I need you to keep doing that for the rest of the day, you got more papers coming your way and after the whole carnival we’ll be drowned in paperwork,” he says with a groan.
“You don’t like paperwork,” I say with a small chuckle.
“Not at all, and I have three helpers,” he says with a sigh, we got back in the elevator and got back to work, I got there before the other two, I took a seat and started working.
They took too long to come back, maybe they’re too busy, I should just keep working on the papers in hope I’d help my friends here.
“They left you alone,” a voice says that made me freeze, what is he doing here? Should I call Logan? Call Hunter maybe, he shouldn’t be talking to me, I’m not his colour.
“I’m busy working,” I answer him trying to keep my head burried in the papers.
“Too busy to talk to me?” Ryan asks and I nod, I’m very busy, he can’t be here, he can’t be talking to me.
“What? I can’t hear nods,” he says walking toward my desk, he pushed my seat back pushing me away from my desk, forcing me to look at him, I tried to look away, but he squeezed my chin forcing me to still look at him.
“I’m too busy, sorry,” I say not sorry at all.
“Come on, take five minutes, I just came here to say hello,” he says.
“Hello,” I say hoping he’d let me go now.
“That’s not enough,” he says coming closer to me, our lips touching, I kept my lips closed and tried to push him off but the jerk wouldn’t let me.
“Don’t fight me, you love it,” Ryan says trying to kiss me again, getting more handy with me, I tried to scream but then my mouth would open and give him some chance to make the kiss worse.
“Get off her you jerk,” someone else says pulling the jerk off me, throwing him against the wall, I looked up with tears going down my face and saw it’s Logan, it’s my safety net, I jumped up and ran toward him, I hugged him as tight as possible.
“What’s going in here?” some other vampire asks running into the office, they looked at Ryan and shook their head.
“Get him away from me before I kill him,” Logan says in a cold voice, it was a scary voice but it wasn’t meant for me.
“Shushh, calm down,” he whisper to me in a calmer voice, sounding different now that he’s talking to me.
“He kissed me,” I sob out, holding tightly to him, I didn’t want him to kiss me, I don’t like being kisses.
“I’ll deal with him,” Logan assures me, he picked me up with no trouble, he walked away from here, he didn’t take me to his office, instead he took me to another place, it was a small room with a bed in it, the room was baby blue and looked very calming. He took a seat on the bed still holding me, I felt terrible, and all I wanted was to be held by him, and maybe Hunter, I was going insane one moment I want them both to be away from me, and I’m scared of them, and the next all I want is for them to hold me.
“Did Ryan pull something like that before?” he asks me and I didn’t know if I should confess the truth or lie and not show him that I’ve been abused or that I allowed him to be near me.
“Don’t lie to me,” he warns me, he knew I’m going to lie.
“One time, I didn’t think it’s bad, but he did it without asking,” I say that was the part that hurt the most.
“He’s gonna be delt with,” Logan assures me, he kept on petting my back, he kept touching my back calming me down, it took him some time and then I was done crying, I was calm enough to just enjoy the cuddle, he managed to place us over the bed, just laying down hugging.
I think I fell asleep, I heard the sound of a phone ringing, I woke up with a groan, my phone never rings, I don’t have people to talk to me, I looked for the phone, and saw that it was lost in the tiny bed between me and a sleeping Logan.
I took the phone and looked at the name of the caller, it said ‘Detective Black’, wasn’t that Hunter? I decided to answer the phone, I don’t remember that’s what I named him on the phone, but maybe I did, I was too sleepy to pay attention.
“Hello,” I say in a low voice not wanting to wake Logan up.
“Angel?” Hunter says confused.
“Mhm, you called me,” I say answering him.
“Sweetie, this is Logan’s phone, is he around?” Hunter asks me.
“Nu-uh, it’s my phone,” I answer him.
“Are you okay baby?” he asks me next, I felt a lot more relaxed now, I think Nala had some right points in her argument earlier, we never had a normal childhood, and they are very smart vampires, I’m sure they have all of this figured out.
“I’m okay, Logan’s sleeping,” I answer him, looking at sleeping Logan, maybe I should wake him up, I don’t know my way out of here, I had no idea where to go, I’m better staying near Logan.
“Okay, can you wake him up?” Hunter asks me, I looked at sleeping Logan.
“He snores,” I say with a giggle, poking his nose, and his cheeks, he’s not waking up yet, and I’m just enjoying poking him too much.
“I know baby, he does, can you tell me where you two are? At home?” he asks me and I shook my head no.
“Uh-uh,” I mumble.
“Then where are you two? Still in the company?” he asks me and I nod.
“Stay where you are, I’ll be right there,” he says and I nod again, I don’t know how he guessed that I’m nodding or not, but he did.
I stayed on the bed, I tried to poke Logan again, but he was deep asleep, I looked at the phone in my hand, it wasn’t my phone, maybe Hunter was right, this phone had a lot of application on it, and a lot of oppurtunity to enjoy and mess with. I pushed Logan’s hand away and laid back on the bed, checking all of his social media and pictures, he had so many pictures with Hunter and a couple nude ones that made me scream, waking Logan up right away.
“What happened? what’s wrong?” he asks, the phone has jumped out of my hand, dropping on the bed next to us.
“Nothing,” I lied.
“What were you doing with my phone?” he asks me with a raised brow, he took his phone up and saw the pictures I was looking at.
“Angel, why are you looking at my pictures?” he asks me with a raised brow, I felt bad and guilty, I didn’t know what to do, so I cried, the tears might have not been too genuine, but I wanted to get out of this without any problem.
“I can tell those tears aren’t real, I don’t mind you touching my phone, but some pictures are personal on here,” he says in a firm voice while I still tried to pretend I’m crying.
“They really don’t work, come on, let’s get up,” Logan says getting out of the bed, and pulling me along against my will, I didn’t want to get up, I want to stay here and play with his phone.
“Finally, I found you,” Hunter says oepning the door, I pulled my hand out of Logan’s hand and went toward him for a hug.
“Logan is a meanie,” I say hugging Hunter.
“She looked through my phone, and we need to get some pictures locked,” Logan says from behind me.
“Baby,” Hunter says still hugging me tight.
That night, I ended up sleeping in their house again, in their room and in their bed, and the same thing happened the day afterm and the day after, I was addicted to their bed, and their house, I was starting to feel more at home with them, the secret room was still closed, they didn’t mention it and I didn’t try to mention it or open that door, I stayed away from it.
Nala my friend said she was very excited about the new part of her life, we still shared the fear about the next move, but we were excited, mostly about the coming carnival, after that our lives are going to change forever, tomorrow, it’s going to be a new life for all of us.
“Do you want to pick your clothes or should I call Logan to help you?” Hunter asks me, he’s really bad at clothes, he can’t pick anything, Logan was the one who could help me with clothes and other things.
“Shouldn’t you be working? You’re part of the police,” I tease Hunter, I knew that the police green and some trusted black code are going to take care of the security job.
“You know I’m going to participate and that includes taking you there,” he says.
“If this is a date, then you should get away and let me get ready,” I say.
“This is my bedroom, maybe you’re the one who should go,” he says.
“Nope, I’m staying… LOGAN!” I yell calling to my hero and friend.
“Yes, munchkin?” Logan answers coming out from the closet, literally.
“He’s being mean to me, again,” I groan.
“I’m not being mean, this is a room that we all share, she can’t tell me to go out, she needs to get used to sharing,” Hunter whines.
“The room is yours, get ready, when you’re done call us,” Logan says pushing Hunter out of the room, I finsihed getting ready, and called them, I was ready to get to the carnival and play all the games, get on every ride, and just have fun with them two.
