Hidden *Sequel to Stolen*

Chapter 35: This isn't the last good bye

"Sky?" Luke said, leaning forward. His hair falling in front of his face as he tried to get my attention, but it was pointless. I was gone, everything felt different.

Just after the doctors has officially said Ayden was dead, Agent Wolfe had Luke take me out of the room before I had another break down. I couldn't tell you how I felt, there was no words, everything felt gone, like all the emotion that I once knew were washed away. My eyes stayed towards the ground as Luke stood up and walked out of the room, leaving me to sit on the ground gone from the world. It could of only been a few minutes later when I heard soft approaching footsteps take place, before they stopped at the side of the hospital bed, the person kneeling down next to me.

"Sis?" Noah's voice spoke, light and almost heart touching as he just looked at me.

I didn't respond.

"Skyler." He said, moving a little closer, his knee bumping mine as he moved his eyes to look out the window. No light shined outside, only the dark clouds that poured tears down from heaven above filled the sky.

"He's gone." I whispered, my words hard from the hours of screaming and crying I had preformed.

Swallowing, Noah turned his head towards me, his eyes red leaving me to guess he was crying at some point.

"But you're alive." He said, moving so he was sitting next to me, his blond hair a mess as his clothes looked like they hadn't been changed for weeks. "And that is because he had too, or you would be dead." I looked at him, tears lining my eyes as I listened to my brothers words, he seemed almost broken as me.

"Sky, as much as it hurts to know that he's dead, you have to see that if he wouldn't of did what he did, I would of never seen my sister again." He spoke lightly, his voice quivering at one point as he looked down.

I brought my hand up and rubbed at my eyes, but Noah wasn't done speaking.

"That moment Deadlock returned me back home, I was scared more than anything. Scared that I would never see you again and that when the phone did ring, it wouldn't be good. I was scared that I had just lost my sister. I couldn't go back to school, let alone step out of the house without people asking me if I knew where you were. You wouldn't of been found safely if Chip wouldn't of done what he did. He did it for you since he lost his family." Noah said, tears running down as his cheeks, his body shaking lightly as he finished.

I could only swallow, blinking as a few tears fell. Without even warning Noah, I grabbed him and pulled him into a hug, my hands wrapping around him and I held him close. Letting go of him, I could only smile weakly, looking at him.

"Thanks, Noah." I said softly. He only smiled as he got himself to stand up, reaching his hand towards me. I looked at his hand before lightly taking hold of it, letting him pull me up.

But as I was got onto me feet I looked past Noah and blinked, someone appearing behind him, my heart skipping a beep. Standing behind him was Ayden, his black hair brushed off to the side. Black clothes covered his body, but where his heart was, I noticed that it seemed to be covered with blood, his light blue eyes looking at me as a gentle smile was across his lips. I only stared at him, before I felt something shake me. I looked to my side, meeting eye contact with Noah who seemed worried.

"Everything okay?" He asked. I looked back to where I saw Ayden standing, only to see the blank wall, nobody else in the room beside Noah.

"Yeah, everything is fine." I said rubbing my head.

"Alrigh-" Noah was suddenly cut off to what sounded like someone yelling, both of our heads turning towards the door. We both quickly moved towards the door my eyes seeing what all the noise was for. Struggling in two officers arms was no other then Chase Hill, his hands cuffed in front of him as the officers struggled to keep a hold on him.
