Chapter 13 - Infiltration
“I don’t like the thought of you giving guys rides home,” Crimson pursed his lips. “Especially that Lee kid, he seems like trouble,”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpQfNRFQnf
“Oh and you’re not,” I raised an eyebrow. “And his name’s Lux,”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mHGSvOel1
“See you even know his name!” He exclaimed. “Why do you have it memorized?”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZOZk75JZE
“You sound like that crazy wife from the Statefarm commercial!” I laughed as I rested my legs on his lap.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij57oL4z9I
“What are you wearing under your pajamas? Alex from Statefarm,” Crimson smirked flirtatiously at me.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxE7k9bToK
“None of your business you perv!” I smacked him with one of my throw pillows. “I thought you were here to get homework done, not unleash your perverted nature!”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh7DZ33qFL
“Why do I have to do homework and you don’t,”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WZvD9lL90
“I actually do have homework,” I scratched my head. “But I choose not to do it, I mean, it’s not like they can give me detention for it,”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YC2dY4ZaB
“Yeah, but what if you actually do get detention one of this days,” He raised an eyebrow at me. “Or even worse, what if you get detention with Lionel!”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxs1ozcTfV
“It’s Lux,” I rolled my eyes in annoyance. “And why do you keep on bringing him up? Are you jealous Crimson Cross?” I smirked.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdDwpjwCJ3
He sighed and rubbed his hands through his hair. “Yes, I am,”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVY0Qhys63
I was a bit taken back; I hadn’t expected him to actually admit it. “O-Oh!” I stuttered. “I mean, he’s just a kid, you don’t have to be jealous about anything-”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2nOzfwwaE
“I DON’T CARE ALEX, ANYTHING COULD’VE HAPPENED TO YOU!” He suddenly boomed, making me recoil back in fright. What the hell? I didn’t even say anything wrong!979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fr6sta49B
After seeing my shocked face, his face softened and he ran a hand over his face. “Baby, I’m sorry I shouted...it’s just,” He sighed. “You don’t know that kid alright, you shouldn’t let him get in a car with you,”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjq0vcsrUR
I was still stunned by his outburst that I hadn’t even responded to him. He sighed deeply before pulling me into his arms and kissing me deeply on the lips. When he felt me not kissing him back, he tugged on my hair slightly, which made me open my mouth in shock. He used that opportunity to stick his tongue into my mouth and he gripped my waist even tighter. But even then, I did not kiss him back.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5vu4aHQhx
“Curly,” He said pulling away and resting his forehead against mine. “I’m so sorry I shouted at you. Please, I just don’t want you to get hurt. I didn’t mean to scare you. Please forgive me,”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMrhkPyuMg
“You didn’t scare me,” I mumbled. “Just shocked me as all,”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt2b04TvZD
“She speaks!” He laughed lightly. “I’m so sorry-”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF87smKSjO0
I quickly covered his lips with mine and wrapped my arms around his neck. He responded quickly by pulling me on top of him and running his hands down my sides. “Stop apologizing,” I whispered breathlessly against his lips.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpiWXzEeKD
“But I-”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdroX7sY87
“Stop,” I kissed him again. “I’m ok, you’re ok, we’re both ok, so let’s just leave it in the past,”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOywPgm21Yv
“Doesn’t that sound familiar,” He said. “You’ve said that to me before. Is that a favorite saying of yours or something?”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSz9kqAmO2
“Something like that,” I sighed. “Arty would say it to me after we fought. I would try to apologize and he would say it to calm my nerves, or make me feel less guilty I guess,”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTw235HldI
“It still sounds weird to hear about you apologizing,” He played with my hair. “I mean...you’re you!”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqTUjU35eV
“Gee thanks!” I said sarcastically.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5O0MbNT3O
“I mean that in a good way babe!” He grinned. “I think you are-”His previously smiling face suddenly turned serious as he slowly glanced around the room. His playful green eyes now sharp and calculating.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdfHQvfEZi
“What’s wrong?” I touched his cheek.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjEk7R3xkM
“Shh,” He placed a finger to my lips. “Do not make a sound!”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa1cahxuL7
Now I was scared, he’s never acted like this before. He wasn’t normal, playful, perverted Crimson anymore, he was now in his guard mode! “Crimson?” I whispered but he shushed me again as he lifted me off of him and slowly stalked towards my balcony doors.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwMTLrzZnc
I nervously watched as he stood beside the door. When he pulled out a gun, my hand flew over my mouth. Why the hell does he have that out? Is an intruder outside? He peered outside and I saw the tiniest bit of shock cover his features. Oh no.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNu3qPnyFo
“Get under the bed!” He whispered harshly at me. “Now Alexandra!”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpsH0wr8Uy
Frantically, I scrambled off of my bed and crawled underneath it, but I kept my head poked out just enough to keep Crimson in my line of sight. He kicked the doors open and fired two shots. My hands immediately covered my mouth in shock as I struggled to catch my breathing. WHAT WAS HE SHOOTING AT? WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON?979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08yJcbJlUw
“FREEZE!” I heard him shout. “IF YOU EVEN TRY TO MOVE I WILL BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF!”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmGOv7HgEr
Jesus take the wheel!979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ileFc0yUa
Shuffling could be heard from the balcony and a loud shriek left my mouth when I heard my glass door shatter.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ON9xkTBBO
“CRIMSON!” I shouted as I panicked. I assumed it was him that had been hurt and was worried. But I soon found out that it was not so.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFeXSXRGYK
A tall, muscular figure dressed in all black caught sight of my terrified form that was halfway out from under the bed. The only thing I could visibly see were the intruder’s eyes which were a light gray. Almost as fast as lightening, he stalked over to me and was about to grab me by my hair when, another shot was fired. The intruder’s gray eyes widened as his advances stopped. I slowly stared up in horror to see that a bullet had been fired straight through his forehead. His now limp body fell forward onto my bed as his blood stained my burgundy sheets.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4uAPAfP5D
“ALEX!” Crimson shouted as he ran over to me, his gun was still in his hand. “Are you alright?”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHx3QRMjl2
But I couldn’t even answer him. I was trembling and my breathing turned ragged as I stared at the dead body on my bed. It had now dawned on me that this intruder was trying to kill me and hadn’t it been for Crimson, it would’ve been me lying face down on my bed in a pool of blood.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5SXhsC6W1
“Curly,” Crimson said pulling me into his arms. “I’m sorry you had to witness that,”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMglNZR0JV
I looked up at him to see that he only a few minor scraped on his face and the sleeve on his uniform was torn; but he seemed fine other wise. I held onto his shirt tightly as I cried. Never in my life have I been so terrified!979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmHboxy7vF
“We’ve got to get out of here,” He said lifting me bridal style into his arm. “Their could be more like him so I am taking you to safety,”979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5NBR9yvVT
More? Their were more people out there trying to kill me? My crying had now turned into full on bawling as I cling to Crimson’s shirt. He rubbed soft circles onto my shoulders as he hurriedly took me out of my wing. The palace alarms were now blaring and I could see the flashing red lights from outside.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKN87qAAvK
We had been infiltrated.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl9Ulo5xmo
