Chapter 144
Ella
~Prior to Saving~
I had just managed to doze off, my body still propped against the door when suddenly I hear it. The sound of someone yelling. The sound of someone screaming. The sound of something loud echoing within the halls which causes me to jump.
The sound startling me which causes me to flinch. My body instantly up as I push away from the wall. The door quick to open only for me to spot James. His eyes hinting in madness as he moves to approach me swiftly. Gun in hand as he moves to grab me by the arm.
A yelp rising when he manages to grab me. His voice rough when speaking. “Time to go Princess, you’re coming with me.”
Suddenly unsure of where he was taking me do I attempt to struggle free. The halls light finally illuminating his presence which allows me to see blood. Fresh blood.
A scream wanting to rise in which I manage to hold back. Panic rising within me. Blood? Was the sound I heard minutes before the sound of a gun echoing? And if so, who did he manage to shoot? A guard? Reece? Or was it…. Nicholas?
James still yanking me in a random direction . My mind still turned all around as I try to remember where I was. My eyes searching for something, anything. A clue that told me I came that way before but didn’t.
My thoughts soon interrupted by James as he moves to pull me close. His gun now pointed directly as me. James yelling at someone in general as he continued to use me as a shield. A human shield.
“IF ANYONE SO MUCH AS TRIES TO STOP ME THEN I SWEAR TO GOD I’LL SHOOT HER.”
The words “Shoot her” echoing within my head as my pulse begins to quicken. My thoughts now on my babies and whether or not I’d ever see them again. Even as silent prayers began playing within me as I pray for someone, anyone to shoot this crazy bastard and end it once and for all.
A prayer that comes true when the sound of a gun goes off and a bullet whizzes by. The bullet instantly hitting its mark. Jame’s hold over me loosening as he crumples to the ground. A bullet to his head.
Strong arms soon moving to hold me as they move to wrap themselves around me gently. Arms I knew almost instantly as Reece’s. Dylan slightly next to me as they both hold me protectively. Neither one of them letting go, not even as men from both Antosha and Rian both move to storm the building. The remaining few who hadn’t all staying to protect those outside. Nicholas and James’s men either dead or gone. Many fleeing or surrendering to Antosha and his men.
The stress of everything happening soon fading into the background as my body then faints. Reece quick to react before I could physically hit the ground. My body unconscious. Reece and Dylan both worried as they both rush me to the Hospital for treatment.
~ A Few Hours Later ~
Beep….
What… Where am I?
Beep…. Beep….
The sound slowly coming into focus as I try to listen for what it could be. The faint smell of bleach and chloroform eventually hitting my nose which instantly reminds me of a Hospital. The noise of the beep getting louder.
My eyes still closed as I continued to lay there and listen.
Beep…. Beep…. Beep….
The room oddly silent except for the beeping. A noise I can only assume is from a nearby machine. My eyes soon opening only for me to spot a white tile ceiling. Another clear sign of where I was as the rooms were always sterile.
My eyes eventually scanning the room only for me to freeze. My eyes quick in spotting Reece and Dylan and last but not least Caleb. My breath hitching as I do. Caleb…. He’s… alive….
Tears beginning to rise at my sudden need to hug him but when remembering where I was do I finally stop trying. The door to the room opening, which draws my attention to who it was. The person in question a sight for sore eyes as the person who entered moves to approach the bed. A smile upon her face as she does.
“Hey.”
“Hey.”
“I didn’t think you’d come.”
“Are you kidding me? I’m your bodyguard Ella, of course I came. I’ll always protect you until you tell me otherwise.”
Tears rising once more as I continued to watch Alanna before me. Alanna one of few people who I wasn’t sure I’d ever see again. A piece of me always thinking that she’d eventually leave once the threat to my life was done. A thought I was clearly wrong on.
Alanna careful when sitting down next to me upon the bed. Our eyes still on the other even as she answers the silent question swimming within me. A question I needed to know.
“He’s dead Ella. Looks like James shot him prior to his attempt at fleeing.”
A breath I didn’t know I was holding soon leaving my body. My voice barely above a whisper when I ask her the next set of questions.
“How long was I out for?”
“Two days.”
“T..Two days?”
“Yeah. And…” Alanna says before gesturing to the guys who laid sleeping. “Those three there have been at your side the entire time. Neither of them ever moving unless it was to use the bathroom or to eat and that was only because of your Uncle Rian, otherwise I think they would have gone without doing it until you were awake.”
A small, tiny sob rising within me once Alanna had managed to say that. Unable to hide how I felt within that moment when learning what Reece and them had done. My heart overflowing with happiness.
“And… And my babies? Are they okay?”
“Yes. Their both safe. Mrs. Foster has been taking good care of them while you are here. And when she can’t do it then Kris does it. And when Kris can’t do it then your Uncle or Father do it as well.”
My heart officially triple the size it should be when learning about that. A piece of me grateful to have those who cared for me all willing and able to help me when I needed it the most.
