Chapter 49: NATALIA
My eyes snapped open and it took me a few seconds to remember where I was and what I'd been doing to get myself in this predicament-again. Then I realized what it was that had awakened me to startlingly. My family!
I heard my sisters outside the door and tried getting off the bed. "Stay!" I thought he was asleep the way he laid there next to me with his eyes closed. I ignored his command and tried rolling off the bed from the other side.
He reached out and grabbed me, pulling me back down and covering my body with his as fear crawled up my lungs. What were they doing here? In the midst of our enemies? How did they even know where to find me? I struggled to get out of his arms but he wasn't letting go and I wasn't strong enough even at full inhuman strength to budge him.
"Let me go, I have to tell them that I'm okay."
"I'll tell them, you're not to leave this bed." He pointed his finger in my face and I snapped at it with my teeth.
