Chapter forty three

Amelia was shocked at the very familiar thing her eyes were seeing. She was totally confused, a frown written on her face. His hands were chained to the ceiling, his legs chained to the ground. He was brutally tortured and weak.

She looked to her left, her brow raised as she saw the lady in her dream and around the whole place wondering what was going on.

Her eyes settled back down on Finn and how miserable he looked. She felt uneasy about it. She looked at the lady. "Who the hell are you guys?" She asked before lowering her head in thought as she wondered if it was probably another dream.

"Let's get this over with, Lisa," Logan said with a frown on his face as he stared at her. She was indeed beautiful, and it maddened him that she had to belong to Finn.

Lisa nodded and moved closer to Amelia. "We haven't been officially introduced yet, Amelia. You were a huge help to get what I need." She made known before looking at Finn's weak state.

"What the hell are you people?" Amelia had to ask. Her confusion was over the place. Her expression was peppered with wonder and curiosity.

Logan chuckled and looked at Finn. "So you didn't tell her?"

Finn just kept quiet.

"How on earth did you explain every brush with death she had?" He made a pause and he gaped in amusement and realization before he laughed. "You compelled her to forget, didn't you?"

Finn still kept quiet. He couldn't even think that much again. If not for the chains holding him, he would have collapsed to the ground.

"What...what are you saying?" Amelia asked with a frown on her face. "Brush with death? How..."

"Oh darling, we orchestrated it all," Lisa confessed. "Sadly you didn't notice the change in eye color, fangs, or your friend trying to kill you."

Amelia's forehead puckered in thoughts as she remembered everything. The first people who tried to kill her, their eyes suddenly turned gold, the second one, a lady, she could swear she grew claws but the part about her friend trying to kill her was something she didn't understand.

Lisa walked in front of her and gestured for a guard to let go of one of her hands and she grabbed it, turning her wrist. She was holding a syringe containing a blue liquid. "You see, supernaturals exist, Amelia and the man you love is one. He's immortal. He's a dangerous hybrid and the best that need to happen for our worlds to know peace is his death."

Amelia shook her head, her eyes getting watery, her breath heavy. "What are you saying? What kind of..."

"I'm a witch, he's a wolf and a vampire, that's what I'm saying. Don't tell me you haven't noticed anything."

Amelia lowered her gaze, suddenly remembering the book Finn read to her. The...the immortal king. She blinked as she wondered if it was actually his story cause the way he narrated it, it felt like he was talking about himself.

Amelia winced as Lisa used her thumb to press her wrist. "What the hell are you doing?"

Lisa looked at her. "Second to my last plans."

Amelia shook her head in disapproval, as the tip of the needle pierced her skin. She wanted to withdraw, but Lisa held her hand tight, giving her a warning gaze. "You don't want to make things worse on yourself, Amelia."

Amelia swallowed since she was scared. "What...what are you gonna do to me?"

Lisa injected the liquid earning a wince out of Amelia. She shuddered feeling it running through her veins. "What the hell?" She breathed out.

"Look at me," Lisa ordered.

Amelia looked at her, their gaze locked on each other. Lisa smirked and a dagger was handed to her. Amelia's gaze dropped to the dagger but then she shook her head in fear as Lisa repeated the words "Look at me." But in a mean hard tone and she did so immediately.

"Take the dagger," Lisa said handing it to her.

"What are you doing?"

Lisa gritted her teeth in annoyance. "You and questions. I said, take the dagger."

Amelia was shaking where she stood trying hard to control the urge of taking it. She was having a clear picture of what was about to happen. Her eyes were glossy as she looked at Finn's miserable state once again.

"You're gonna kill him, but don't worry he's not gonna die. You're only gonna do something much worse to him." Lisa said giving her the dagger which she had no choice but to take.

She looked around the room like a controlled robot, everyone just watching the scene, obviously bathing, loving at the sight of her being confused and about to...about to stab Finn.

She took a step trying to control herself from moving toward Finn but she couldn't. She doesn't know why she can't, but she kept walking, her breath and hands shaky.

All Finn could do was watch. It was obvious to him that it was one of Lisa's stupid and annoying experiments.

"You don't have to worry, it's for the best," Lisa stated with a smirk on her face and she looked at Logan's pleased face.

And before Amelia knew it, she yelled and charged at him with the dagger, her mouth and eyes widened as he groaned, his weak eyes staring at her.

Tears started running uncontrollably from her eyes as she stared at Finn's pained state. "I'm...I'm sorry." She begged. "I'm so sorry."

Finn wanted to say something, but then he frowned at the feeling he was getting from the stab. He looked down at it, his teeth gritted at the pain. "Shit." He felt hot all over.

"Finn," Amelia called softly, her hand still on the dagger.

Finn looked at her, not comfortable with what was happening. "Don't..." He swallowed trying to withstand the pain. "Don't pull it...out, Mia. Don't." He warned since somehow he knew something bad could happen next.

Lisa walked closer to them. "Sorry, but she won't have a choice." She looked at Amelia. "Pull it out,...Mia. Slowly."

Amelia let out a shaky breath and slowly dragged the dagger out of Finn's stomach causing a deep wail out of him, his veins popping out of his neck.

His hands were unexpectedly unchained by the guards behind him and he fell to his knees, clutching at the part he was stabbed.

Amelia knelt in front of him. "Finn. Finn, please answer me."

Finn looked at her with a frown and heavy breath. "Who's Finn and who the hell are you?"
