I grew self conscious, I was clad in a towel that just went a little past my mid thighs, not to mention that Hayden's arms were still wrapped around my exposed thigh possessively "

I knew the sort of image we represented, but it wasn't as though I had a choice in the matter.

"I didn't mean to interrupt your little fun but I've got something urgent "

He stared from me to Hayden briefly, he didn't even look the least surprised to see me

"this is important , I need to speak to you brother ...Alone" he added sparing another quick glance at me.

There was something dark and brooding about him, he was just as tall, well built and equally gave off that dangerous vibe like Hayden.

It was his eyes.There were a pair of emerald green.

They were completely blank and devoid of life..

His gaze lingered on me briefly and I unwillingly felt a shudder ran through me.

He doesn't like me.I just knew it.

He must also have a vengeance against me.

Just like Hayden.

Hayden accompanied him as they walked out of the room, locking the door behind him, leaving me alone.

I tried twice on the door but he'd locked me in.My shoulders slumped , it wasn't like I could go anywhere anyway..

Not with the threat of death he made on my family.

I slowly took a survey around the large modern room.My eyes caught on a telephone resting on his bedside table.

I stared at it for a moment before heading towards it.

I couldn't call the police...i couldn't risk it....not with the confident way he'd dared me to, but he didn't say that I couldn't call my family..

I held my breath as I began to make a call on our telephone line , it was answered on the second ring

"Hello?" Ashley's voice sounded, I closed my eyes briefly.

"Hello ?"she voiced out again

"it's me " I whispered

"G..Gracie?" she asked sounding surprised

"yes, Ashley.I...."

"Why are you calling?do you want to get us all into trouble?" she snapped seeming angry and fearful

"No but..why are you sounding like that?I barely managed to call you and.."

"Well you shouldn't have " she bit out

I felt a heavy pang in my chest at her words.

"Can I speak to m..mom and dad?"

"No.They don't want to speak to you, don't bother calling us up again "
