Chapter 169: Bite
Kenny
There was something different about Rory.
I couldn’t put my fingers on it, but it was right there, hanging around him like cloak and dripping off him in drops. It wasn’t a bad thing, it was the complete opposite. This invisible thing around him made it feel like his being was now way more intense than normal. There’s just something string and powerful around him, and perhaps that’s why instead of outrightly telling him what the doctor said about there being nothing else than can be done to save Jason and prevent him from dying, I stepped closer to him and spoke.
"What do you suggest we do?"
It was dumb. I shouldn’t be doing this. It would only make me hurt more when a few hours creep by and Jason stops breathing. But the selfish part of me, the part that desperately wanted him to get saved, was hell bent on seeing through with whatever Rory is about to suggest.
Rory bit on his bottom lip, face in a focused and concentrated expression while his hand unconsciously moved up to touch the necklace around his throat. I stared at it confusion, trying to remember if he had always owned that but nothing was coming to mind.
My gaze darted out to the dude who had accompanied Rory here. I slowly sized up, he looked quiet young and he was glancing over every corner of this room. I want to throw him out tight now, because this moment felt extremely private and I hated having to share it with him. But Rory had said this dude assisted him in escaping and so I definitely couldn’t be rude to him right now.
When I glanced back at Rory, he began to pace. When he noticed me staring at him, he stopped and shrugged his shoulders a little.
"This is just something I need to do. I need to connect with something inside of me." He spoke up, cheeks coloring a little and I nodded hastily, not wanting him to think that I was jusgijf him right now. That’s the last thing I’d ever do. However, I do have a lot of questions to ask but I do believe now wasn’t the time. He resumed pacing and I kept quiet, assuming he’d not like to be interrupted right now.
Thiw was exactly what I was referring to about there being something new about him. I couldn’t wait for him to finally tell me the entire thing he went through while being captured by Alex.
Anger bloomed within me at the thought of Alwxtight now. I hated him so much, and I’d readily kill hin when given the chance. I don’t hate a lot of people, but Alex? I hate him with so much passion. Right behind him is his girl, Anna. I hate her so much because I actually trusted him. I believed that she wanted nothing to do with Alws and was only interested in revenge. I should have known better. We’d have been successful that day if she hadn’t unexpected changed her mind and sided with Alex at the very last moment.
