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,”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlg3Ln53UJ
“Oh and you’re not,” I raised an eyebrow. “And his name’s Lux,”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u0hOoe0cF
“See you even know his name!” He exclaimed. “Why do you have it memorized?”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjz4SbGDL9
“You sound like that crazy wife from the Statefarm commercial!” I laughed as I rested my legs on his lap.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk1BM8fe4J
“What are you wearing under your pajamas? Alex from Statefarm,” Crimson smirked flirtatiously at me.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86ipMTy7XL
“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!”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQVRlAWRQc
“Why do I have to do homework and you don’t,”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUQbVV5k0s
“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,”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvLGq0ftBm
“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!”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkSg0mgApw
“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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndPuZ4gqDc
He sighed and rubbed his hands through his hair. “Yes, I am,”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoPiSlZD5K
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-”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrRXGLJXBb
“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!840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4ehT4ROp7
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,”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR968LQPl6
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2PlV8YjRD
“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,”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ejF6GCprG
“You didn’t scare me,” I mumbled. “Just shocked me as all,”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4hAZdJlAf
“She speaks!” He laughed lightly. “I’m so sorry-”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtafjbRYGoa
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOHtaLc5UN
“But I-”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QfeqhWKhw
“Stop,” I kissed him again. “I’m ok, you’re ok, we’re both ok, so let’s just leave it in the past,”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6idg9bEhPT
“Doesn’t that sound familiar,” He said. “You’ve said that to me before. Is that a favorite saying of yours or something?”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI8wFYlbg4
“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,”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2fYle7bpK
“It still sounds weird to hear about you apologizing,” He played with my hair. “I mean...you’re you!”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C8HXnLFVN
“Gee thanks!” I said sarcastically.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB3SMdIB7I
“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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHylKbgyWq
“What’s wrong?” I touched his cheek.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3knlw4tLoh
“Shh,” He placed a finger to my lips. “Do not make a sound!”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UwHgH9xtF
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW4WeMr2bA
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM29LWULVe
“Get under the bed!” He whispered harshly at me. “Now Alexandra!”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj01smy0zbA
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?840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm8dJHtJW8
“FREEZE!” I heard him shout. “IF YOU EVEN TRY TO MOVE I WILL BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF!”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidmIiuWkJz
Jesus take the wheel!840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87UhUK8nVc
Shuffling could be heard from the balcony and a loud shriek left my mouth when I heard my glass door shatter.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp964TazfrS
“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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeBJtjefP3
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8qOwzvKT8
“ALEX!” Crimson shouted as he ran over to me, his gun was still in his hand. “Are you alright?”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QM67vjS9F
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxc8h8V66c
“Curly,” Crimson said pulling me into his arms. “I’m sorry you had to witness that,”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gE1tyEQV7
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!840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCiK7rCzCq
“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,”840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCbaF8Ra3o
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.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYJCKSpN2a
We had been infiltrated.840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjuvLbsJjt
