CHAPTER NINETY-NINE
We woke up that morning to the news of a statewide curfew announcement by Xavier. It was going to be effective that evening and the whole thing made me feel uneasy.
“He looks sick,” Anna said as we watched him tell the world that I was kidnapped and that anyone with useful information about me was going to get a ton of Nexarion and a thousand dollars.
“That powder thing must have gotten deep into him,” Roe replied and then they went into details of how we put him to sleep so Lisbeth could understand what had happened.
But I was quiet, wondering what on earth was happening to me.
I should despise this kierhan, my entire existence should loathe him yet I was having sex dreams of him and I.
I shivered at the memory of his cock slamming into my pussy while he looked me in the eyes and whispered sweet words. I remembered how he brought it out and drove his tongue into my pussy, licking me till I was a shivering mess before pushing his second cock inside me, my moans as high as ever.
I couldn't help but wish things were different, I wanted things to be different so he'd do that to me every damn night. He made me cum over and over again, my body always craving more after each orgasm. I was this insatiable and wanton woman, and he was fucking me really well.
But it was difficult to reconcile that loving man to the horrid person that was lying to the world right on that TV that someone had broken into the mansion and taken me away.
“Tessy, are you okay?” Roe asked, and I was startled out of my mind. I realized tears had sprung free and were on my face while I was zoned out and I quickly cleaned them off.
“Yea, sure. What's up?”
“You were kind of… looking upset,” Anna said.
“Look, I know we're all focused on figuring a way out of this but you are allowed to take a moment to grieve the loss of what you guys could have had,” Roe said but I shook my head in denial.
“Grieve what? I didn't love him,” my heart screamed liar at me but I wasn't going to let anyone see how stupid I was or how much he still affected me. “It was just a stupid crush and the sex was better than you described but that's all it was. I'm not focusing on him anymore,” I waved it all away, sniffling a bit.
“Ookaayy,” Anna drawled, “because we kind of need to leave as soon as possible,”
“Oh? Um, why?” I was confused.
“Apart from the worldwide hunt that's gonna be starting soon for us, I kind of read that letter Dad left us and it's a ticking time bomb. If someone else sees that before us? We're really going to be fucked,”
“See what?” Roe asked what was on our minds as her sister set up breakfast for us.
“Money. Lots of it. And they didn't keep it anywhere safe. It's right where we drop the spare keys in the shop's backyard. I think Mom had been at the shop when they came for Dad and he called her to come, hence the hurried hiding of everything they've saved from the shop,”
That sobered me up real quick. This meant a whole lot and we could actually get away with this. I'd been feeling like our run was some childish antics that Xavier would soon stump out by catching us but with this money, we could run away, find the resistance and start freeing people from the compulsion.
“Let me see the letter,”
She handed it over to me and she was right. Dad had written it hurriedly so there were parts of it that were unreadable but it simply told us where to go and that we should keep reading.
Now that I thought about it, the books in Xavier's library were still not as enlightening as the ones Dad had. It looked like it but it was all a distraction. Nothing scientific about them, or economic or social. Just bigger volumes of things they taught us in school with a few novels that had vivid sexual encounters.
I was a fool.
“We need to leave now, Roe. Can you move?”
“She's going with you guys?” Lisbeth asked in shock.
“Yes. Except you are ready for her to be taken and questioned. I don't trust those people to be nice when they're not getting answers,” I explained to her.
“But he has questioned me before. They have a lie detector in there and so far I don't know where you guys are, it should be safe,” Roe said and I looked at her in confusion.
“Are you sure?” I mean, she had seen how little of Xavier we actually knew and how all of this was a hoax and she wants to believe he'd just plug a lie detector to her and take whatever she gave him?
“Yes. I'm going to be due for delivery very soon and I'll really want to just stay with my family here for that.”
“Oh. Um, okay. You're right, at this stage, running around isn't the best option. If he comes for you, please tell him I forced you into it or tell him everything except the Corbin part, okay?”
“Okay, I understand,”
“But how will she say we got our hands on the sleeping powder?” Anna asked, seeing the fault in our plan.
I thought about it for a second, seeing how everything was gonna be undone if he discovered Corbin's role in this. I was kind of keeping him out of the loop with what is happening with me so I will call him if I don't have any other options.
“You know what? Tell her Theresa did. I asked her for it because I wanted to sleep and she didn't know I was going to use it for you,” I told her, a sly smile on my face. I can imagine how that conversation would go considering I would have died if I had actually ingested it.
We hugged each other tightly, whispering words of encouragement that was laced with fear of the unknown.
For us that was leaving, although we were face caps, this county was where we'd grown up and anyone really desperate for money, which was basically everyone, could decide to turn us in before we got to the shop.
And for Roe who I was once again separated from because of these damn aliens, the deep fear that things might not go as we thought was thick in the air.
