~Angel~

To say I was happy hardly put a dent in it. I was absolutely ecstatic to finally have my soulmate in all ways possible. She was perfect in all ways possible. I could tell she was a virgin before we did it. Which made me glad to know I'd be the only one to touch her that way. And that was all I needed to make me content.

Suddenly the front door opened and I heard footsteps bustling in.

"We're home!!!!" Rayne yelled at the top of his lungs and I wanted to punch some sense into him.

Annabel was asleep against my side with her head resting upon my chest. But not anymore, thanks to Rayne. She slowly fluttered her eyes open and smiled up at me. I knew she'd be sore so I held her against me so she wouldn't exert herself.

"Umm... Riz? I kinda have to pee..." She mumbled into my chest.

I chuckled and allowed her to get up, much to my discontent. I felt cold without her there. Realizing she was still naked, I instantly felt another hard on coming on. She teasingly wiggled her butt while picking up her clothes before heading into the bathroom. God, how I would love to take her again. But I knew now wasn't the time. While she was in the bathroom, there was a knock at my door.

"Yeah?" I threw on some shorts before opening the door slightly.

It was Chapin and she quirked an eyebrow before narrowing her eyes and chuckling knowingly. I still didn't get a chance to apologize so there was no humor coming from me. Only discomfort. She must of noticed because she suddenly became serious.

"I'm so sorry Chapin... If I would of had more control... I would give the world to take it back." She simply shook her head and shushed me before showing me the bruise.

"Look. It's already healing. We do heal faster than humans you know. So no need to apologize. I was stupid for trying to touch you. I know what you're capable of brother." She laughed that beautiful laugh that you couldn't help but join in on.

But for some reason I couldn't. I still stood there uncomfortably so she rolled her eyes and pulled me into a hug. I tightened my arms around her and shut my eyes. I was finding it hard to forgive myself. After all, she's my sister. And I love her to death.

~Annabel~

After getting dressed and using the bathroom, I made my way back into Riz's room. Before I stepped fully out of his bathroom, I stopped. Riz was hugging Chapin tightly and I couldn't help but smile. Looks like they made up. He must of sensed me because he pulled away from her and turned to face me.

'She's good for you brother.' I heard Chapin say.

Except she didn't say it. It was like a mind link. Riz grinned and turned back to face her.

'Yea, I know. And there's no way I'm letting her go. She's too perfect.' He said it back.

Wait a minute...They aren't talking to me so how on earth can I hear them?

"Um...guys?" I managed to mumble out.

They both turned to look at me at the same time. Riz still had that grin on his face.

"I can hear you..." Chapin's eyes widened.

Riz's grin disappeared. They turned to face each other again and stared at each other in disbelief. I, obviously not knowing what's going on, slowly made my way to sit on Riz's bed. Riz and Chapin quickly made there way over to me and knelt down in front of me.

"You can hear our mind link?" Chapin's eyes looked close enough to falling out of their sockets.

"Yes. I can...is that bad?" A grin slowly made its way onto Riz's face again.

"No. Not at all. Now we can communicate more. You can read my thoughts." Then I remembered I made him swear not to read mine.

I frowned and looked at my hands. If he could read my thoughts, I wouldn't have to tell him about Carlos. He would already know. Everyone else could no longer read my mind. Riz said it was something about the mate bond. So now he was my only hope. Which means I'm screwed. Chapin knew something was up so she left us alone in the room. Riz lifted my chin and I was met with glowing orange eyes.

"Hey...what's the matter sweetheart?" I scrunched my nose.

"Nothing... It's just you can't read my mind, because I made you swear not to." He smiled and nodded but my frown didn't leave my face.

"It's ok, Annabel. I respect that. I will never read your mind." I interrupted his stupidness.

"But I want you to! I mean, it would be for the best! I want you to read it Riz! Because what I'm thinking is not allowed to leave my mouth!" He looked taken aback but regained his composure.

"I'm not going to read your mind, Annabel. I swore not to ever again. It's not right." He was making me so pissed.

I stood up and shoved him away from me. He fell straight on his ass and just stared at me. I grabbed my bag and headed for the stairs, never looking back. When I arrived at the bottom, Chapin stopped me.

"Where are you going? What happened?" She asked in surprise.

"Home! I'm getting sick of all this shit! All I wanted was a normal life! And now I'm in danger and nobody cares!" I shot at her and was getting ready to hit something.

Cilix suddenly appeared beside her and pulled her behind him. He looked really pissed and I slightly flinched at his glare. Two arms wrapped around me and pulled me into a hard chest. I looked up at Riz but he wasn't looking at me. He was glaring at Cilix.

"Control your mate." Cilix spat at him, holding onto Chapin as if she'd disappear.

The intensity in the air was so thick that you could slice it with a knife. I couldn't take it anymore. The struggling to keep my mouth shut. The crazy powers all of these "people" are capable of. I was scared now. I was officially scared.

"Riz...take me home please." I whispered, knowing he heard me anyways.

He slowly looked down at me, his eyes softening. He nodded slowly and took my hand. Before he dragged me away, I turned to Chapin. Cilix was still standing in front of her but she stretched around him to look at me.

'What do you mean, you're in danger?' She said in my mind.

"I'm sorry Chapin..." I mumbled before following Riz out of the house.

We rode in the car in silence. I couldn't utter a single word. I didn't realize that it started to rain until I looked out the window. For the first time in the short time I've known Riz, it was totally awkward. And to think we were doing...things earlier. Yes. Definitely awkward.

We pulled up to my house and I prepared myself for the argument I felt was about to go down. Not necessarily between me and Riz, but my father and I. I'm sure the school called my house because after all, I did skip two periods. I don't think they'd take "oh I went over to my boyfriend's house to have sex with him" as an excuse.

"You know I won't read your mind no matter what you say, right?" He didn't take his eyes off the steering wheel.

I sighed. Great. Now he'll never know about Carlos. What if something happens? What if Carlos doesn't keep his word and really does kill my father? Or worse...what if he takes me? I'm really scared...

"I guess I do. But I'm just letting you know that if something happens, I won't say I told you so. Because you'll probably never see me again." And with that I got out of his car and stormed up to my front door.

The door opened right away and I came face to face with a very angry dad and concerned stepmom.

"Inside. Now." He didn't leave room for argument.

Before walking inside I glanced back at Riz and noticed him still sitting in his car. His eyes were trained on me, but they showed something I never wanted to see.

Pain. Pure pain. Now I've only seen a guy cry once. My dad when my mom died. But never, did I ever expect to see someone like Angel Owens cry pure tears. They were rolling down his face and he looked away from me as he pulled away.

I'm sorry....

I ran inside and up to my room before falling into my bed. I started crying. Why the hell would I say something like that? I really hurt him... I'm a horrible girlfriend. A horrible soulmate...

I was just about to call him when my bedroom door burst open.

"Give me your phone young lady." My dad was really pissed.

I handed him my phone and sank back into my bed. I really didn't need this right now. But he didn't care.

"Annabel Lee Smith. Why on earth would you think about skipping school? You're an A student and you're almost out. Why?" I shook my head and held back the tears that threatened to spill.

He sighed and came over to sit on my bed.

"I don't know why you did it, but I trust you, hunny. Just don't do it again ok? I don't enjoy more phone calls than usual." He chuckled with that and gave me a hug before kissing my temple and leaving the room.

I puffed out air from my cheeks. That didn't go as bad as I thought. Dad never was one for discipline. But now I can't call Riz because dad took my phone. That made me want to cry more.

He probably hates me...

There was a knock at my balcony window and I got a little overly anxious. Was it Riz? Probably not... He wouldn't come. Why would he? I completely hurt him.

I slowly got up and made my way to the window. The shadow of a man stood on the other side of it. It looked like Riz...

I opened my window and regretted it quickly. Standing there looking at me with hunger in his eyes was Carlos. I opened my mouth to scream but Carlos clamped a hand over my mouth and pulled me out the window.

"It's time, my dear." That's all I heard before I blacked out.
