Hunted 8 - Burn those who burned me!

bChapter /b

-Thomas POVi: /i

I couldn’t get that scene out of my head. Her body lying there like a corpse, the dried–up blood surrounding her. Her lifeless eyes, I couldn’t forget. Even as Damon attacked me, I so was stunned I couldn’t even defend myself. Maybe a part of me felt it was deserved. It wasn’t supposed to get this bad. She was supposed to call me and beg for forgiveness! I would have immediately let her out! How was I supposed to know her phone died!

After Damon stormed into the house, everyone was too afraid to say anything to him, his parents assumed he was just going to his room to cool off but suddenly he came stomping down the steps. Darius looked over in shock.

“Damon iwhy /iido /iyou ihave /iibags/i? iYou /iijust /igot iback/ii! /iiWhere /iiare /iiyou /iigoing/ii?/ii” /i

Everyone looked on in confusion, Damon had several bags with him heading to the door. Amber frantically rushed over to him along with Davis.

i“/iiDamon/ii! /iiWhat /iis ithis/ii! /iiWhy /iiare /iiyou /iibeing /iiso /iidramatic/ii! /iiShe /imade iit /ito ithe /iihospital/ii, /iiwhy /iiare /iiyou leaving /iiyour /iifamily /iifor /iiher/ii?/ii” /i

Amber’s question stunned both Damon and me. What did she mean by that? Damon’s eyes darkened as he looked at his mother.

“Is she not my ifamily /iimother/i? The idaughter you /iibirthed/ii?/ii” /i

Amber looked away, too ashamed to look him in the eyes.

“That’s not what I imeant/ii! /iiI /iionly /iimeant /iiyou /iiwere /iiraised /iiwith /iiDani/i. iYou’ve /iionly /iknown that gir-”

“RABENA! iHer /iname iis /iRABENA!i” /i

Damon’s outburst shook us all. Amber’s eyes widened with fright. Her son had never spoken to her in this way, her eyes quickly darkened, all of this was Raben’s fault! It was her fault her precious son was turning on heri. /i

“I can’t be apart of this ifamily /ianymore,”

Davis rushed to his son.

i“/iiDamon /iplease, iI’m /iyour father, don’t act like this. Rabena will be okay, she was able to get to the hospital in time thanks to youi./ii” /i

Damon scuffed and shook his fathers hands off his shoulders. Looking at the man he once saw as the universe with nothing but contempt.

i“/iiDad/i, I ilove /iyou, ibut /iiI’ll /inever be able to respect you again. You or my older brothers.”

Daniel suddenly jumped up.

“Now wait a minutei! /iYou’re going too damn far Damon! It was an identi!/ii” /i

“Your sister almost dying because you locked her in a hot shed is an identi? /iWhatever helps you sleep at night.”

As Damon turned to leave, Danielle ran over and grabbed his arm. With tears in her eyes, she began to

protest.

“Big brother, please don’t do this. iRabena /iwill ibe /ifine. It wasn’t supposed to go this far; it’s all my fault! I should have just shared my birthday iwith /iiher /ithen ishe /iwouldn’t have yelled at ime/ii,/ii” /i

Damon looked at his sister in disgust, he had seen this act entirely too much over the years. Her ying victim so everyone could kiss her ass. It became especially bad once Rabena moved back home. Damon pulled his arm out of Danielle’s grasp.

“I’m sure your victim martyr iact /iiworks /iwonders on everyone else, iunfortunately /iI’m iimmune/ii./ii” /i

Danielle’s eyes darkened, Damon had always been difficult. He acted like she was some sort of devil, meanwhile, Rabena could do no wrong. Still, she had a roll to y, lowering her head she spoke softly through light sobs.

“I don’t know iwhat /iyou mean ibig /iibrother/ii./i”

Thomas walked back into the foyer after cleaning the blood off his face overhearing Damon chastise Danielle. Furious he marched over to the scene, it was one thing to beat up on him, but Danielle didn’t deserve this. In a cowardly tone he spoke.

i“/iThat’s enough iDamon/i. iNone /iof ithis /iiwas /iiDani’s /iifault/i, iif /iiyou /iwanna be mad at anyone just be mad at me. I told your family not to interferei, /iiDani /iiactually /iitold /ime not to do it.”

Damonughed a disgustedugh.

“I bet she also told you not to iworry /iabout iRabena /ieither. Just enough to feign concern.”

With that, Damon walked out of the door without any further words.

-Rabena’s iPOV/ii: /i

When I finally woke up my body felt like it was as light as a feather. I could vaguely remember what happened. Thomas locking me into the shed and days passing as I slipped away, but how did I end up here? Suddenly my hospital door opened, Damon came walking in with a cup of coffee. His eyes shot up in shock once he realized I had woken up.

Rushing over to my bedside his eyes were filled with relief and concern.

i“/iiRuby/ii!! /iiYou’re /iwoke! iAre /iyou okayi? /iDo you need anything? Are you hungry?”

18%

His questions wereing a mile a minute, at this rate I wouldn’t be able to answer anything. I chuckled and ced my finger over my lips indicating for him to be quiet. Laughing he made a zipped–up motion across his lips.

i“/iI’m okayi, /ibut how did iI /iget ihere/i?”

Damon filled me on what happened the day he came home, my day three. Thank goodness for that otherwise I would have died.

i“/iiI /isee. Well, I’m not surprised ithey /iall acted ilike /ithat.i” /i

Damon’s face scrunched up. He wasn’t surprised either, but I think they still managed to disappoint him. I ced my hand over his and gave a weak smile.

“Hey, iat /iileast /iiI have /iiyou/i. iThat’s /iiall that /iimatters/i.”

Damon smiled a big smile.

“Oh! iI /imet to itell /iiyou/ii! /iI ispoke /iiwith /iiyour /iiUncle /iiPete/ii./i”

Shocked, I had Damon exin everything else to me. Turns out Pete and Pera were panicking when I hadn’t answered my phone all those days and were getting ready toe to Banton to find me.

“So yeah, iafter /iiI /iifilled them /iiin /iion /iieverything /iithey /iiwere /iireally /iiangry/i. iYour /iiUncle /iand iFriend /iiare /ion itheir /iiway/i, they should ibe /iihere /iiWednesday /iito /iitake /iiyou /iihome/ii./ii” /i

I smiled a smile of relief, finally I was going home. My time in this dreadful country finally came to an end. I looked over at my big brother, there was a look of sadness on his face, and I realized there was no way 1 was leaving without him.

“Damon,e iwith /iime /ito iCovington/ii./ii” /i

“Really? You ireally /iiwant /iime /itoe iwith /iiyou/i?”

Smilingi. /i“Of course iI /iido/i. You’re imy /iibrother/ii./ii” /i

Damon looked at me like he was about to cry, we had been close from the moment I arrived at the Crest Estate. He had always treated me like his precious little sister, there was no way I was giving that up.

The next day I spoke with my Uncle Pete, needless to say he was furious.

“I’m goin to kill them! All of themi!/ii” /i

i“/iCalm down Uncle. I’m okay nowi! /iDamon saved me. He even put my sorry excuse of a husband on his ass.” fn9aed ???? ????s? ???????s ?? Find_Novel(./fn9aed

Hearing that made him calm down a little, but he still had vengeance on his menu.

i“/iiTell /iiDamon /iihe’s /iimy /inephew from this point on. I’m d he’sing with youi! /iWe’ll take care of the rest of
