I walked outside the room with heavy apprehensive steps. I was going to meet Rex today and although it felt good, I didn’t know what to say to him.
As I got to the entrance of the building, I stood for sometime waiting for Rex to show up as he had promised while at the same time, going through my head what I’m going to say to him and how I’m going to move the conversation with him.
What do I tell him about who I am now? Should I tell him that I’m now an Hybrid? The things Brook did to me? Or should I let him just find out by himself?
I stood for a while thinking about what to say to him and how to convince him that I wasn’t a hybrid until I came here.
I didn’t even realize until my feet became numb that I had been standing at the entrance for some time now. It was getting almost dark and yet Rex was no where to be found.
I felt my high hopes sinking down as I kept on looking around but still no sign of Rex.
It wasn’t like him to not show up early. Was he only fooling around with me? Did he do this to mess with me? But Rex isn’t ..
“Haha… It’s almost evening and yet your precious Rex isn’t here yet, ” Brook’s voice interrupted me and I turned to face him.
I was too lost in my thoughts that I didn’t realize when he came and stood next to me. Was it possible that he heard what I was thinking?
That’s not possible!
“What do you mean?” I asked, pretending not to hear what he said earlier.
“I knew he wasn’t going to show up. Why would he? When he doesn’t have anything to say to you? I mean if all people, he’ll come over here just because of you?” He asked scoffing.
I hated the fact that I was being gaslighted by him into thinking that Rex doesn’t care for me like I think he does and I immediately snapped back, not willing to allow him mess with my head anymore.
“That’s what you think but Rex isn’t a coward like you. If he has something to say, he would say it, if he made a promise to show up, he will. He isn’t like you and would never be you. He’s different.”
I heaved a huge sigh and sideeyed Kia who was sitting next to Brook and quietly watching the entrance as if he wasn’t interested in our conversation.
I looked him up and down and it seemed as though he was still hurting from the wound he has but it was obviously healed.
I decided to make fun of him , afterall, they don’t let me be even when I want to be alone.
“What’s wrong Kia? Cat’s got your tongue? You’re being weirdly quiet today,” i said, turning to face him and waiting for his response.
He didn’t say anything, didn’t even bother to look at me instead, he looked straight ahead at the entrance as if he was seeing a ghost and transfixed in a spot.
“What’s wrong? Are you scared? Scared of what Rex is going to say to you once he comes and finds out that you’re the one behind everything that happened to me?” I continued mocking him, not allowing the fact that he ignored me stop me.
He sighed heavily and turned to face me, shook his head slightly and walked away, leaving me staring at him dumbfounded.
I hate the fact that he ignored me as it seemed as though I didn’t piss him off enough.
“Well, Goodluck waiting for Rex to show up even though I know he won’t, ” Brook snickered and walked away.
I watched as his retreating back left the entrance where I was standing and sighed heavily. It hurt my heart that Rex wasnt showing up but who exactly should I blame?
I was the fool, obviously.
What was I thinking? That Rex was going to show up all just because he said he would? What was I thinking? Why did I believe him? Now I’m left here standing all alone waiting for him like a lonely puppy.
I hissed with anger and turned to leave also even though a part of me wanted to still wait a bit more.
What was it going to change? I had waited enough for him, I won’t wait Iike a fool any longer.
I walked towards the same direction that I had seen Kia and Brook walk some seconds ago but they were no where to be found. I couldn’t even smell them it was almost as if they had vanished into thin air.
The Mansion was far too big and confusing for me to be able to find them so I just settled for observing the rooms around me as I had no access to it earlier.
I got to a large room and as I got closer to it, my nose itched. I could get the familiar scent of blood and someone was groaning in pain.
I pushed the door open and the sight before me hurt my heart.
It was Klaus. So this is where they hid him all this while? Chained to the wall, with a dagger in his chest as he bleed slowly and his legs also chained to the wall so he won’t be able to escape even if he wants to.
“Klaus, ” I called softly as he wasn’t able to know that I had entered into the room.
As he slowly lifted up his head in pain, I could see how hard it was for him to be chained to a wall like that and how badly he wanted to be let out.
“Rain, ” he murmured softly, groaning in pain.
“I’m so sorry,” I said, taking a step towards him as the same time wondering what I can do to ease his pain as it hurts me seeing him in a state like that.
I looked a the chains on the wall tied to his leg and wondered if I can be able to cut it off but it was iron and it was heavy, not something I can cut off even with this increased strength of mine.
At the same time, I didn’t want to get hurt in the process as I knew that if I tried to use my strength, the bracket on my hands was going to hurt me as that was Emma’s plans.
My eyes fell on the dagger in his chest and got an idea of taking it off, at least it might it do anything much but definitely reduce his pain.
“I’m sorry to see you in a situation like this , Klaus, ” I said, trying to come up with another plan as the dagger own seemed dangerous and painful.
“Hmmm.. ” he only breathed in response.
“Emma is very wicked, can’t believe she would do something like this to you.”
” I know she is wicked, it … It isn’t a hidden fact about her, ” He said sounding very weak.
I have to do something. I didn’t like the fact that I was seeing him in pain.
“I’ll help you, Klaus. I’ll take off the Dagger from your chest. It’ll help you ease the pain you feel now. I can’t cut off the chains from your legs as they are more stronger than they look.”
” Don’t.”
” Huh? ” I asked, looking at him in confusion.
I was already close to his chest and was standing right in front of thevdagger in his chest.
“Don’t remove the Dagger from me.”
“But… You’re hurting. ”
“I’ll hurt more if you remove it. If you remove it, I will bleed very heavily and as I’m currently in a state like this, I would take a lot of time to recover from it.”
He was bleeding yet he refused for me to help him out of his misery
“What did they do to you, Klaus? You’re bleeding and yet you can’t heal. If there was nothing wrong with you, you would have been able to heal as soon as I take off the Dagger.”
I decided to bite myself and give him my blood to drink as I could only think of that method to save him.
“No. I don’t need your blood. It won’t make any difference. Emma put something inside me that I won’t help no mater what as long as it’s inside me.”
Just like how she kept something in me so I’ll hurt anytime I try to use my powers? She was really mean! How could she try and stop someone’s healing process when there’s a dagger in his heart?!
“My body has healed, Rain, but I can still feel the pain around my heart.”
” I’m not going to touch your heart, Klaus, I can’t do it.”
“I see. Thanks for telling me that you want me dead.”
Really? Gaslight me?!
