THEA'S POV
"What did you do to her, you fucking asshole?" I heard hushed whispers at a distance. Trying to pry my eyes open, I was met with a bright light. I groaned at the extreme intrusion and covered my eyes.
"Oh my god, Thea you are awake. Thank god. I thought this man killed you or something. How are you feeling? Are you hurt? Do you feel any pain? Did Rouge hurt you?" Someone that sounded a lot like Lila questioned.
Slowly adjusting to the bright light, I pried my eyes open and was met with the sight of Lila.
"Lila" I whispered, my throat burned with dryness. "Water, please" I begged. Lila roamed around the room looking for water and that's when my eyes landed on Xander. He was looking at me. More like staring, but let's not get into the technicalities. Lila rushed to my side, after finding a glass of water and gave it to me. As soon as the water washed over my throat, I felt myself moan in relief. It felt heavenly.
Suddenly a growl echoed in the room and I looked up to see Xander with a funny expression. What did I do? Weird. After a few seconds, I looked at Lila and tears started rolling down my eyes. Seeing her safe and in front of me, I could finally feel secure. I know I am not the brave kind. I have the bravery of a chicken. If Lila was here, that means I am going home.
"Lila, are you okay? What is going on? Can we go back now? Please. I don't wanna be here" I sobbed.
"Hey, Hey, Hey... look at me. Nothing is going to happen to you. I promise. Please don't cry" Lila said, sadness clearly visible in her voice.
"Don't make promises you can't keep" Xander taunted. God I hated him. I wanted to scratch that perfect face oh his, and poke his beautiful eyes.
Perfect?
Beautiful?
Thea what is wrong with you? I scolded myself. And what did he mean by don't make promises you can't keep? Lila will get me out of here right? Sensing my discomfort, Lila spoke
"Rouge, I need to speak to her. Alone"
"No, detective. That wasn't part of the deal. You said you wanted to meet her. I allowed you to meet her. There was nothing about meeting her alone" The grey-eyed monster spoke.
Lila sighed and looked at me. "I will get you out of here. I promise. But first tell me if you are hurt"
I felt like a child whenever Lila spoke in that one. She was like an elder sister I never had. "Will you punish them if I tell you?"
"Of course Thea. Now come on tell me" The situation was almost like when a child complains to there mother about what the bullies did so she could complain to the principle, I spoke
"I hit my head on the door, when the guy's smashed the door. One of the guys kicked me twice on my stomach," To ensure damage, I lifted my top to show the purple bruise on my stomach "and then Scar grabbed my hand really hard, I am sure my bones are broken" I spoke dramatically. " And that isn't even it. Xa..." I paused. I didn't want him to hurt me again for saying his name. I whimpered thinking of how he almost killed me.
"Hey, it's okay. I am right here" Lila comforted me
"The man behind you grabbed my throat and almost choked me to death" I whispered.
"Так много, Ñ ÐµÑе не пÑиÑинил ей вÑеда" (So much for, I haven't hurt her yet) Lila turned and growled something to Xander. I didn't understand a word she spoke, but whatever she spoke pissed off Xander.
"УбиÑайÑÑ, деÑекÑив. ÐÑÐµÐ¼Ñ Ð²ÑÑло" (get the fuck out detective. Time's up) Xander growled.
"The hell it is," Lila screamed. "There was no time limit Rouge, I leave when I am done talking to her"
Lila called Xander Rouge. Is that what he prefers people calling him. Jeez, he could have just told me his preferred name. At least my poor throat would have avoided a death assault.
"You don't speak to me like that detective. I could shoot you into the ground right now" Xander threatened.
He wouldn't. Xander made a deal with me. Lila got up, taking a defensive stand and that's when I saw blood on Lila's collar. The white collar was stained with blood. Xander hurt her. He promised he wouldn't.
"Leave detective. Come back to collect the girl once you have solved the case" Xander spoke. Lila can leave. THAT IS GREAT. Wait.
"COME BACK TO COLLECT THE GIRL???? WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT LILA? YOU PROMISED YOU WOULD GET ME OUT OF HERE. PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME HERE" I screamed out loud, more tears rolled out my eyes. I have cried so much in the last few hours, I almost felt pathetic about myself.
"Thea relax. I promised to get you out of here and I will. I just need to go out and find someone, and then we can leave. Okay?" Lila hugged me, comforting me or at least she was trying to.
"No, please don't leave me. What if they hurt me? I couldn't even protect myself from that lizard on my window. THIS IS A MAN WITH A GUN, LILA" I screamed the last part out. I was shivering from fear. The idea of pain was too much.
"He won't hurt you. I promise. Please don't cry. How about once we get out, we will buy your favorite ice-cream and then go to that park with puppies and cats? You want to go right?" Lila said, trying really hard to stop me from crying.
"Now I didn't promise no such thing as not laying a finger on her detective. She made a deal with me. The girl instead of you, detective. I have kept my end of the deal, she is going to keep hers" Xander spoke as walked towards us, a gun spinning in his hand.
"No, there is no deal here. You hurt Lila. You broke the deal so I am not obligated to you or anything you say" I hope that came out as confidently as I meant for it to sound.
"The fuck you going on about, малÑÑка," (little girl) "I didn't hurt her" Xander growled in annoyance. He was on edge of losing his anger, and it was very evident in his voice
But Thea wasn't going to back out. He broke his promise, and she didn't like it.
"Yes you did. There is blood coming out from her neck. You hurt her. So no deal"
"ÐÑмиен, вÑÑаÑи деÑекÑива, СÐÐЧÐС" (Damien, get the detective out, NOW) Xander roared. The room shook with rage.
"No Rouge, stop it. I am not done talking to her" Lila tried to rationalize with Xander. But the man was far too enraged to listen.
Suddenly Scar enters the room and starts to drag Lila out. What, why are they taking her away?
"Lila please. Don't take her away" I cried looking at Xander. But it seems like my words fell on deaf ears because Xander didn't make any move to stop Scar. At this point I was crying out loud. I was scared and Xander was angry. Will he kill me? Will he hurt Lila? Will Lila forget me if she can't find that man she was talking about?
As soon as Scar dragged Lila out of the room, Xander walked to the door and locked the room. Turning, he started right into my eyes and spoke
"You think you can back out of a deal, малÑÑка?" (little girl)
