Chase Around The World

Chapter 19

Ella's P.O.V.

I felt as if I was stuck in a pool of water. My lungs had air and my skin felt dry, but my body felt as if the waves moved it at ease. All around me was black but my senses seemed to be on edge. I could hear the dust swirl around above my head, and my skin felt the small amounts of electricity as the particles bounced off. 

I tried to move but my body stayed still and stiff. My throat was dry as I felt another gust of air flow down. I had not breathed so why was there air. Again air slipped down my throat, I felt something sitting on my face causing an itch.

I willed myself to itch it but again my hand laid still. I heard the soft click, footsteps rhythmically tap on the floor the sound getting  slightly louder each step. My body slides slightly to the right as I assume someone sits on the bed.

"Ella you need to wake up" A voice said almost strained.

I wracked my brain to who it could be, my mind swirls when I see Kaleb. Our date. The kidnapping. William. Lying. The Beating.

My heart rhythm picks up and I hope William can't hear it.

"Ella come on my love I cannot last much longer, I cannot wait" His voice hummed.

My body wanted to shiver in disgust but once again my body was rendered stiff.  My skin seems to shock pain through my face as he runs his thumb over it tracing my features. The feeling made me try to crawl back into my brain.

"I will be back my love," he mumbled after a moment before removing his hand and his footsteps tapping across the floor farther and farther away. His presence was truly gone with the soft click of the door. 

"Ella," a soft voice called from beside me, "I do not know if you can hear me or not but you need to wake up. Your brothers are coming and you need to distract Will so they can get close enough."

My heart pounded against my ribs begging for something to move and I pushed so hard to move a muscle to let him know I heard him. My nerves feel tensed as I strain to move something. My eyebrows scrunch in concentration. I try- wait my eyebrows just moved. 

"Ella, keep going come on," encourages the voice now getting a little louder. 

Once again I strain my limbs to move and my finger twitches. I don't stop slowly my eyes become movable and they fly open. The room is dark though the light is on. I see the boy that brought food kneeling beside the bed looking at me. I was so happy  I wrapped my arms around his shoulders that sat above the bed. "Thank you" I cried into his shoulder. 

All of my feeling came back to my body and it screamed in pain. I pulled back and looked at my body, all over were ugly, purple-brown bruises. There was no dried blood but the cut he made was still a red scab. 

"You're awake," the boy exclaimed jumping to his feet.  "I have to go tell William"

"Wait." I shot out my arm grabbing his. he stopped mid turn and looked back at me. "You said my brothers were coming, please tell me more."

He nodded his head and turned around. "William had his cousin Stella invite them to her wedding, he is going to kill them, so you are the only relative left and he can marry you to inherit everything."

I chocked on air, he was-. I couldn't even finish the sentence it hurt too much. I needed to stop this. "When is the wedding?" my voice came out in a shaky question. 

"Tomorrow"

Hello Wattpadions... How was that chapter? Ella woke up, and now has to save her brothers. Why did Alex help her? Will Alex help her save her brothers? I know this is a pretty bad spot to leave the story at bu, oh well. Who doesn't love a good cliffhanger. I might update one more time this week if I have time so look for that. 

I hope you are enjoying the book. Don't forget to...
