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,”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQNNVgSRJa
“Oh and you’re not,” I raised an eyebrow. “And his name’s Lux,”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcBzSPB37a
“See you even know his name!” He exclaimed. “Why do you have it memorized?”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbLUGZiSeP
“You sound like that crazy wife from the Statefarm commercial!” I laughed as I rested my legs on his lap.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P2wzEVy20
“What are you wearing under your pajamas? Alex from Statefarm,” Crimson smirked flirtatiously at me.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEikXmyETYZ
“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!”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFm9z3NWLt
“Why do I have to do homework and you don’t,”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba47LXONxE
“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,”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c6VEoWPoO
“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!”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuEjbo0oMh
“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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8iSMYXXlm
He sighed and rubbed his hands through his hair. “Yes, I am,”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBnUbEB5G6
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-”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc3E13oj4Q
“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!841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdIftU362U
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,”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64d1lgdgiW
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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUp0sCZdcV
“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,”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY0EO5RPIS
“You didn’t scare me,” I mumbled. “Just shocked me as all,”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eEKy589pG
“She speaks!” He laughed lightly. “I’m so sorry-”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJZMXj66R6
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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuv7qYHRuX
“But I-”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18jTetVkBB
“Stop,” I kissed him again. “I’m ok, you’re ok, we’re both ok, so let’s just leave it in the past,”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVWGv46WIV
“Doesn’t that sound familiar,” He said. “You’ve said that to me before. Is that a favorite saying of yours or something?”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLSHDUZ20M
“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,”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP4jUnFcqQ
“It still sounds weird to hear about you apologizing,” He played with my hair. “I mean...you’re you!”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXel6DVEVK
“Gee thanks!” I said sarcastically.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZZy1aV5Cp
“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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTXuLaAtJl
“What’s wrong?” I touched his cheek.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8UOwVSL03
“Shh,” He placed a finger to my lips. “Do not make a sound!”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGgyplSNn3
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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXDJbM4Ck1
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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3FMN6Ndkp
“Get under the bed!” He whispered harshly at me. “Now Alexandra!”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XOrT49GpD
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?841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC1XLlwDkQ
“FREEZE!” I heard him shout. “IF YOU EVEN TRY TO MOVE I WILL BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF!”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs2Q4YOHp3
Jesus take the wheel!841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPiqJ7tljd
Shuffling could be heard from the balcony and a loud shriek left my mouth when I heard my glass door shatter.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpEftviWti
“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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaAurRbB9d
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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxseaJnnzv
“ALEX!” Crimson shouted as he ran over to me, his gun was still in his hand. “Are you alright?”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpUt5FdKTm
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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGpgGtv2fH
“Curly,” Crimson said pulling me into his arms. “I’m sorry you had to witness that,”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqBdKXxryF
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!841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2B2ZZcFlU
“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,”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL7hHzIkub
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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcocFSE0Drv
We had been infiltrated.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dmjUhLnkQ
