Buzzing was once again heard. My heart was in my fucking throat. I could barely keep myself in control. "I don't know how I got here, Christian, I don't- I don't remember," Her breaths were nearly sobs. My chest tightened at the weakness in her voice. She was talking quick, in panic, lost, crying even.. "And it hurts, I- I can't-," "Hey, hey, listen to me, baby, listen- tell me where you are." I spoke as quickly as I could because I had no clue when we might lose the signal.. And I had to have her focus on my voice. She was talking through pants.. She was crying. And I felt damn insane for ever letting her out of my sight. Furious with myself. It took her a few seconds to breathe out an answer. "The old house.. I think.. Adam's house." Heavy breaths and a shaky voice spoke from the other line.. Faint and gentle.. Soft and fading into nothing at all.. I could hear the pain she was in through that tone. The fear she was struggling with. Lana was brave for everything, but I knew how much dark magic terrified her. It terrified all of us. And I hated myself for ever fucking allowing something like that to happen to her.. For letting her out of my damn sight. Anger rushed through me quicker than ever before.. The fear for her seemed to balance it out, somewhat making me focus on her rather than on all the damn ways I would chop that bastard piece by piece.. "Christ,-" "I don't- I don't know how I got here, the last thing I remember is going to sleep and, and-" She spoke quickly, cut breaths, lost thoughts, like she was trying to explain as quick as possible but she struggled with finding the words.. I interrupted to at least try and calm her down. "Lana, hey, focus on my voice, princess, listen to me.." I heard a sob.. Two.. My heart tore. "Listen, I'm coming for you, but I need you to get away from there." I breathed in and the air seemed to fucking burn in my lungs. "Can you do that? You need to run,-" "I can't , Christian, I can't move.. I'm next to this tree and my- my wrists, they hurt, I can't move, I just can't-" I could no longer feel my own damn body. Fucking hell. No other nightmare could've been worse than this. My eyes closed and pressing my fingers over them didn't help ease the pressure in my head. "Okay, okay, stay there. Stay where you are. Just don't listen to anything, alright? Don't give in, don't listen to any voices, I'm on my way. I'm coming," I was already driving down the road again and I wasn't even fucking aware of it. Silence fell over. My heart stopped dead in my chest, and just when I was about to shout after her to see if she was still on the line, she answered.. "Okay," "Can you stay awake? Keep conscious for me baby, I'm on my way." I tried soothing her, but I wasn't sure if she was even listening.. The buzzing got louder, muting her rapid breaths. "Lana, you hear me? Are you hurt somewhere else?" I stepped a foot on the gas, not even caring about the speed at that point. I had to get to her as quick as possible. And it didn't matter that my mind was lost at that point, she was simply all that mattered. "No, no, just my wrists. They're tied." Fucking hell.. I heard slight cracking, crumbling from the other line.. "What are you doing?" A beat passed.. Two.. I thought the signal was lost again. "Trying to break free," That voice cleared out and the softness in it held the kind of edge that showed clear frustration no matter how dreaded she was.. "No, stay where you are, okay? Just stay there.." I tried quickly, wanting to change her mind as soon as possible because she was obviously already in pain, but the struggles to break free would only make it worse.. However, there was no answer from the other line.. The buzzing stopped.. Everything suddenly went silent. "Lana?" No answer. Every pulse that throbbed in my head left hundreds of painful tremors. "Lana?!" She was gone. The signal was fuckįng gone. "Dammit!" I wasn't even aware how hard I was stepping on the gas, but all I knew at that point was that I had to get to her. "I lost her. The signal.. it's lost, Calliope, she hung up-" "Just keep your eyes on the road. We're on the right way.. We're almost there." *** #Christianawar babes But hey, maybz there won't be a need for a war after all.. Or did Adam just start one? Comment your thoughts on this one little loves! Is this perhaps connected to what Lana told her father? Maybe his doing, who knows.. But I'll be updating soon so we'll have things cleared out ???? Kisses ????
