Adia’s eyes opened wide as saucers, as her eyes scanned the dark room, she was sure she heard a noise, she held her duvet tight, trying to put her dear behind her, maybe it’s just her imaginations, no one can come in her.
She was about to close her eyes when she heard another noise, this time a bit louder, it was the sound of window shutters, as if someone was trying to break into her room.
“Who’s there?” She asked, getting up from the bed, switching on the head lamp by the side of her bed, she reached out for the remote control, lying by the bedside, pushing a button all the lights I’m the room came on.
“Who’s..” her voice faded off, when she noticed a fading silhouette, now she’s really scared, what does she do now, she’ll have to scream for help.
She was about to scream Sebastian’s name out loud, when someone spoke..
“Adia it’s me,” she immediately recognized the voice as Logan’s, what the hell is he doing in her room by this time of the night.
“Oh my, Logan, what are you doing here?” She turned to the window, where she saw Logan, as he skillfully climbed into her room, as she climbed off the bed.
“Adia..” he called, walking close to her as he held her hands.
“What are you..”
“I have just a little time left, I’m so happy that I was able to see you,” he said, holding her in a embrace.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“What..” Adia stuttered, accepting his embrace.
“Thank you Adia..” he blurted out,
“Thank you” Adia repeated in confusion.
“Yes thank you”
“Thank you for coming into my life, you see I only came to this city to make my brother’s life a living hell, to avenge him for all he had done to me, I even vowed to kill the woman carrying his baby, along with the children..” he began as Adia wondered why he was telling her this.
“But everything changed in an instant after I met you, you changed my life Adia, I fell for you, just at first sight, and even planned to take you away from the man that got you pregnant” right from the first day they met, he held this great affinity for her, heaven knows if the man that got her pregnant was not Sebastian, he would have long abducted her to a far away land.
“I couldn’t bring myself to hurt you, after finding out you were with Sebastian, that’s when all the plans I had for my brother changed, thanks Adia, because you actually made a better me”
“What’s all this for?” Adia questioned breaking away from their embrace.
“I just came to say my last goodbyes” he informed,
“Last goodbyes?
“Yes, Kate is dead, you can live your life freely from now, I promise no one’s ever going to bother you” he said to her, Killing Kate was like a dream come true for him, she does not deserve to live.
“What do you mean by killing Kate?” Adia asked in utter confusion, Is he trying to tell her that Kate is no more.
“She’s dead, I killed her, but there are consequences that follow”
“Consequences?”
“Yes, Kate is a twilight vampire, and it’s forbidden to kill a twilight vampire..” Killing Kate was such a Hassle for him, but he made sure to end her life.
“What are the consequences for killing a twilight vampire?”
“Death..” he answered, right now he’s in a hot chase, he just managed to come here, so he could see Adia for the last time.
“Wh.. at .. do you mean by de.. ath..?” Adia stammered, holding Logan’s hands, it felt as if her entire being went cold as she just suddenly turned pale,
“What do you mean by death Logan?” She asked again,
“I’m going to be executed by the elders of britaris for killing Kate, I’m in the run now, I have hundreds of vampires chasing after me,” he informed staring lovingly at Adia, the woman he fell for, who unknowingly turned out to be his brother’s woman, he has no ideas why he decided to back down after discovering Sebastian was the father of her child, maybe because he saw how much she loved Sebastian and didn’t want to hurt her.
“You can’t be executed, I mean you can’t be killed, Kate caused all of this, she almost killed me, not just me, my babies, there has to be a way out of this , no…” Adia uttered in confusion, as her mind had gone into a total turmoil. Logan is innocent, he can’t die, especially not because of her.
“There’s nothing you can do, Adia ” he stated, it was inevitable, he had to die.
“There has to be something, you can asked Sebastian for help, there must be a way out of this,” she said,
“There’s no way Adia..” he stated looking outside the window.
“I have to go now, they’re near, I can’t lead the vampires here..” he said, reaching out for the window.
“But Logan..” Adia called holding his arms.
“Please..” she begged as their eyes met .
“It was nice meeting you..” he muttered and before Adia could say anything else, he had already slid out the window.
“Logan no!!!, Please wait!!” She called after him at the top of her voice, but it was already too late, he had already leaped off.
“Oh no, what do I do?” She asked no one in particular, using her both hands to scatter her hair looking for ideas, what is there to do?, She can’t allow Logan die, she’s actually happy that Kate is gone for good, like that’s a good news to hear, but why did it have to come with bad one, she would have actually thrown a party to celebrate her nemesis death, but how can she celebrate when she’s about to lose a friend.
“Adia think, you have to think..” she scanned her brain, breathing in and out, this is making her so nervous.
“Sebastian!!” She yelled, calling Sebastian’s name as if he was the answer to her prayers.
“Sebastian can help..” she mumbled storming out of her room.
