It had been 4 hours.
I counted the seconds that turned into minutes and minutes that turned into hours but still he never came.
I was tied to a wooden chair. My arms bound behind my back, dry blood round my mouth. I still tasted the iron. Frank hadn't left the room since he tied me up, burning my wrists with the rope. He sat on a chair much similar to mine and his beading eye never left me. My skin constantly crawling with him this close to me.
"Why are you doing?" I ask but it comes out as a cry.
"If you were in my position you would have done the same" he is cold. I struggle again at my bindings, loosening them slightly. 
"I can help, I promice just please let me go"
"You don't understand" he laughs making me flinch. I was worried. I was worried about Harry more then I cared what was about to happen to myself.
"Where's Harry?" I whisper. In a way I didn't want him to hear me, I didnt want to know because what if he hurt him? Did I really want to know.
"I took care of him"
Oh no. My heart rate increased, fighting its way out of my chest.
"What did you do to him?" I shout. I didn't care what he was going to do to me next because if he hurt Harry it didn't matter anymore.
"Shut up" he snaps "I've had enough of you talking" he takes the back of his hand and slaps me across the face making my head sharply turn to my right. I want to cry. All I could think of was Harry but he would tell me to stop waisting my tears on him. I needed to escape, I needed to find him.
"Did Harry ever tell you about were he came from before he was here?"
"No" I say quietly.
"Well it was a dark lifeless place. You should ask him about it sometime"
"Are you implying I'll see him again?"
"That's a good point actually maybe I should just tell you know get the pain over with"
I wince again.
"Please, just untie me,I won't try anything. I just want to talk"
"No"
"Please"
He sighs "Fine but if you try anything I will do much much worse than hit you" he threatens. He walks behind me and removes the noughts from the rope finally letting my wrists come free.
"Harry is different"
"Yes, yes he is"
"How different?" I play along with my game.
"He isn't like us. Mentally or physically"
"That doesn't make any sence"
"It does but you have to think about it really really hard"
"He's-" the door behind us was blow open. My visions of Harry standing there the wind blowing though his thick curls, here to save the day. To save his girl.
"Frank let her go" A feminine voice anounces. At first I was shocked then I was relieved and then I was faced with Jane. Their mother. Frank didn't get the chance to even speak before Jane turned over and launched her foot square into his face, knocking him cold with in seconds. I just sat there stunned, I felt like I was in the lesbian version of James bond.
"But...b..but..bu-" I stammered.
"Take a deep breath" she was down on her knees in front of me, soothing me.
"husband?" I could barely get my words out.
"He's not my husband"
"But-"
"Mia it's a long long story and we don't have time for it right now. You need to go get Harry and get out of here and stay away"
"Gracie?"
"She's with Jess and she's safe with her"
"Okay" I tried to keep my mind off of Harry. What would happen when I see him? What would I say?
"Cut him some slack" she whispered and tucked my hair behind me ear "I know it's hard for you but it's Hard for him to"
"Are you really his mother?"
"Yes, Harry will always be my baby" I could her the sorrow in her voice "Can you tell him I love him?"
"Of course" I saw the tears, I saw what it was like when a mother is saying goodbye to their child.
"I will come back, tell him that but for now I have to keep them safe which means I have to leave for a while. Just tell them I love them" She croakes "Now go find my baby...and keep him safe"
I walked way. I did what she said. I found Harry where I left him. It broke my heart to see him like this, so fragile, so lost. I hesitantly stumble towards him reaching out for his touch. Laying my palm on his stone complection.
"Harry" I breath failing to keep back my tears.
"Baby" He croakes while his eye lids flutter as if he was waking up.
"Harry" I cried and wrap my arms around his broad figure.
"Mia" Shouts and pulls me off of him, inspecting my face and then the rest of my body "What did he do to you" He growls loudly.
"It's okay, shhh I'm fine" I coo and bring him back into me.
"What happened?" I knew truly he didn't want to know.
"You father grabbed me and he bet me" I sigh, his grip tighting around me "And he did something to you, you wouldn't move, I was so scared" I cried even more.
"I'm okay" he reassured me.
"Then we were in the basement and he had me tied up and he kept saying stuff about you messing with my head and you mother she saved me. She says she love you and she'll come back when you're safe again. Harry what does that mean?"
"It's nothing, your safe now that's all that matters"
"No" I exhale "No" I say louder and pull away from him. He looked startled and tried to hold me again "I have tried way, way to hard for you just to tell me that it's nothing. I deserve some freaking answers" My blood boils with anger.
"Baby you're tired. We need to leave it's not safe here. I'll take you home and we'll stay there until we know otherwise"
"I know" what was I doing. He lifted a book from one of his shelves and puts it in the duffle bag I had packed earlier.
"Okay"
"No Harry, I know" his head snapped to look at me.
"You know?" he looks like his puppy just died.
"What are you?" I give him the chance to be honest with me.
"I am your boyfriend and I'm going to protect you"
"Your not human are you?"
"No".....

******************************************************************************

OHHHHHHH damn that was quite dramatic. Who thought Harry would save her no his mum? Cos I thought it would be Harry, It seems my hands did not. Well I think I might even do a double update today, I'm in that sort of mood.

I'm also looking for translators because I've had a lot of people asking. Mail me if your interested.

Love you all! <3
