Chapter 155

The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 155 Book 2 Chapter 78 ~CLARISSA~

“Who are you?” I scream. “Why are you here?”

Damon’s arms are tight around me. I lean more into him, terrified of what is about to happen. There were so many of them, at least fifteen men surrounding us.

After the banging on the door earlier, they broke it down before we had even gotten a chance to open it. Then they’d dragged us outside. Damon fought hard until he’d gotten me into his arms again, but I wasn’t sure how long it would be before they’d dragged me away from him again.

Now it seemed like they were playing with our emotions. They could take me; with the amount of them, I knew they could drag me away from him if they really wanted to. However, it seemed as though these men had plenty to say before they tried to attack us.

There’s a tattoo on the side of their neck, continuing down their arm. Something about it seemed familiar to me.

Where have I seen it before? If I hadn’t seen it, I knew I’d at least heard about it. My brain was not functioning properly, and it was because of the fear in my heart. I was terrified that these people would harm my mate. I was terrified of what they were capable of doing. I knew nothing about them, but they seemed to know me.

There was this look in their eyes that creeped me out; they stared at me like I was their prize.

“We are here because of you, Clarissa.” The leader says, at least that’s what he introduced himself as earlier. “Like I’ve said to you before. It seems as though you aren’t listening to me. I don’t like that, Clarissa. I need to have your full attention.”

Damon’s hands tighten around me, holding me even closer than before. There was a strange darkness about these men; it terrified me.

The strangest part of all of this was the fact that a piece of me, a tiny piece, felt like I knew them. Like I knew all of them. It didn’t make me feel any better. I shouldn’t know these people. Anyone that behaved like this should not be people that I knew.

“What do you mean?” I demand. “I don’t know any of you. Why could you possibly be here for me? Please give me an explanation for all of this. Do you even know who my family is?”

I can’t stop staring at the tattoo. I know I’ve seen it somewhere in the past.

But where?

“You’re our princess, that’s why.” He informs me. “Our very own princess Clarissa. And yes, I know who your family is Clarissa.

They aren’t important. There is nothing they can do to stop this from happening.”

“W-what?” I ask in disbelief. “Are you insane? Your princess? Is this some prank on us?”

Was some i***t trying to mess with us? Maybe someone found out about my relationship with Damon, someone other than our family, and this was possibly a dumb game to that person.

He chuckles, “You remind me a lot of your sister Clarissa.” He tells me. “She was just as clueless about us when I first explained who we were to her. She also gave me a lot of trouble. However, she was much easier to kidnap. All it took was one cloth over her face, and she was unconscious. You didn’t give us the chance to do the same to you.”

My sister?

I stiffen in Damon’s arms.

“I don’t know who you’re talking about,” I confess. “I was adopted, and I know nothing about my real family.”

I have dreamt of a brother multiple times but not a sister. These people were insane. I had to find a way to call for help. I couldn’t wait for them to kidnap me, and clearly, that was their crazy plan.

I buried my head against Damon’s chest and pretended to stay there while trying to send a message to Autumn. It was just one word, ‘help,’ but I knew it would be enough to get her to come for me.

She already knew where I was. Now all I had to do was find a way to buy some time. Maybe if I kept asking questions, I could keep them talking.

I didn’t understand these men’s power, but if they tried to hurt Damon, I wouldn’t stand back and watch.

“Your sister has been by your side all along,” he informs me. “You just haven’t known about it.”

Of course she has. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. If my sister was by my side, I think I would be able to tell. Surely there would have been signs.

“I don’t believe you.” I snap. “Why don’t you tell me your name? Who exactly are you?”

“You’ll know everything after we take you with us .” He answers me. “I’ll answer all your questions once you come with me.”

I narrow my eyes, “I’m never coming with you.”

It was the truth. I would fight until I had nothing left within me. I would not give up. I would not let them win.

“If any of you take a step forward—,” Damon begins to say before he’s rudely cut off.

“Do you think you could stop all of us from taking her?” He demands. “If you give up now, we will let you live, but if you insist on disobeying us, today will be your last day alive, Damon Fawn. We’ve been watching you a while now, and I can safely say that you are not fit for our princess. She’s too good for you. It will be in your best interest to let her go as you’ve done in the past. We know your true love died. Anya, was it? Anyway, after her death is when you suddenly decided that you wanted to be with our princess. I think that she’s your second choice. For that, you must let her go or die a painful death!”
