[56]Maybe being held captive by a bunch of strange guys isn't that bad

Chapter 56

Henry.

What is he doing here? I haven’t seen him since I left New York. That was seven years ago. From then on I’d been changing states.

He still has the same warm light brown eyes and that quick smile that used to melt my heart. But now his other features were more matured, he was pure muscle under that white shirt and blue jeans.

“Blair?” he seemed surprised to see me.

“Henry!”

He began to come forward and I walked to meet him, when we were at arms length I pulled back my left hand and punched him right on the jaw, making him stagger back a step. Hmm, training with the guys did help.

“Ezra!” I hear the man yell, I ignored him.

“That was for running away when I was getting beat up, you asshole!” I yelled at Henry and had the urge to throw something at him.

“Young lady!” the lady said.

I rolled my eyes. Then whispered to Sawyer: “I’m not comfortable here.”

Before he could answer Henry looked at me. “I’m sorry, I didn’t meant to.”

“Didn’t meant to? You practically threw me to the kids, I was ten Henry and they were fifteen!” I made a move to punch him again but something stopped me. A strong hand on my arm, a familiar touch. Startled I looked up at Sawyer who shook his head and said: “Calm down.”

I nodded and he let go.

“Later you’ll explain what went on here but we have to discuss the time and date when you,” he pointed at me and then at Henry “Make the baby.”

“What?” I asked, mouth hanging open.

“Henry here is your half brother, your father’s son. In order to keep the blood clean you both must conceive a baby.” the lady said.

“Wait, you want me to have sex with Henry? And you say he’s my half brother?”

“Yes.” the man said.

“Are you out of your mind?!” I threw my hands up in the air.

“I don’t mind.” Henry said and I glared at him.

“I am not sleeping with you or anyone of that matter, go it? You can’t force me to have sex with anyone and I am not having a baby! These people are insane Sawyer, are you sure I’m in the right place? I really wouldn’t mind if my ‘parents’,” I made the air quotes, “Were poor, I wouldn’t mind at all.”

“We’re in the right place.”

I noticed he was shaking from anger. So he still liked me?! I smiled at that. Now why is he acting so cold?

“I don’t plan staying here long. I really didn’t want to meet you anyways.” I shrugged.

Both my ‘parents’ gasped.

“We are your parents, show some respect!” the man said a bit annoyed and somewhat hurt.

“Parents? You’re everything but that, my parents were Regal McAllister and Sophia McAllister.” they were the only family that adopted me but died years after. “And if you want respect you have to gain it. Only seven people have my respect and I don’t plan on adding more.”

“Do not speak to us like that. We had to let you go for various reasons you wouldn’t understand. Now go to your room and rest, we’ll have someone to call you to dinner.” the lady waved her hand at me.

I glared at her, suddenly wanting to compress all the air around her for thirty seconds.

“Don’t.” Sawyer said and then he grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the huge room.

“Where are you taking me?”

“To your room.”

“No, I want something to distract myself and take out this adrenaline out of my system.”

“I know the perfect place.” he said and we turned the opposite way we were going.

We were walking for around five minutes and I stopped him. “Sawyer, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing’s wrong, lets keep going we’re almost there.”

“I’m not going to do what they say. They are truly insane, sleeping with my ‘step-brother’ to continue the bloodline? That’s really stupid. Plus I wouldn’t let Henry touch me.” I looked directly at his eyes when I said this but he didn’t show any sort of emotion in his.

“You have to do what they say, it their rules and you’re their daughter. And you don’t have to let me know who’s going to touch you or not. I’m only your guardian.”

“You’re more than that, we’re a couple. And I would not follow something stupid just because some old people say so.” I touched his cheek and he moved back.

The rejection hit me hard.

“No, I’m just your Guardian. My only duty is to protect you and that I’ll do, you know that. But personally we aren’t anything. You can do your life as you please, I’ll always be there behind you. Guarding you. That‘s my only duty.”

Rejection from someone you love is the worst thing in the whole universe. And its happening to me.

“Are you breaking up with me?” my voice sounded weird and I knew that if kept looking at him I’ll cry.

“Yes, we were never going to work anyways. I’m the guardian and you’re a princess.”

“You know very well I don’t give a damn about all that crap. I’m Blair and I don’t plan on changing my name or anything about me for something as stupid as this. I love you Sawyer, don’t do this to me…us.”

A flash of something passed his eyes but he quickly recovered. “I’ll always be by your side but we cant be together.”

“That’s doesn’t make sense.” Finally the tears fell, oh god it DID made a lot of sense to me but I don’t want to understand. I don’t.

“I’ll always be your guardian but we can be a couple. I’m sorry but that’s the truth.”

“So its final? No more hang outs, no more kisses or hugs?”

“No more.” he flinched.

I nodded. “Okay. Okay. But can you do something more for me?”

“Anything.”

“Please kiss me one last time.”

Something like regret crossed his features but his eyes were soft. He mumbled something in Romanian that I didn’t understand as he came close to me.

The last time we’ll be this close, the last time I’ll feel his body against mine, the last time I’ll feel his soft lips against mine.

Not the end!!!
