Blue Eyes (A Paranormal Romance)

Chapter 55

My mind is screaming at me, screaming at me to beat the fudge out of Slyder, screaming to get away but I have to remind myself I'm in a small, contained car, where he's the mother freaking driver, so if he dies, we all die.

I force myself to smile, though I'm sure it's not a very convincing one "nothing, I just don't feel very good, headache that's all. It must have been from using my powers" I lie, leaning my head back against the chair, praying that I'm pulling this nonchalant act off.

A small smile appears on Adelram's lips, but it's gone almost as soon as it's there "here, why don't you take this pill, it'll help" He advices, handing me a circular white pill with ROCHE written in and a circled 1...what the hell? I've seen movies and shows, I not stupid, this is a freaking roofie, he's trying to knock me out.

I look behind me at Abigail sitting in the back seat, her head in between her knees as she breathes in and out slowly.

My heart is pounding wildly as I look at Adelram's (AKA Slyder's) expectant face. What will he do if I don't take it? I'm terrified to find out.

What am I supposed to do? He's watching me, waiting. "Trying to date rape me Adelram? I don't think I'd consider this a date" I joke, trying to act calm and collected and hoping that the fear I felt wasn't apparent in my voice.

Adelram chuckles, but there's no humor behind his laughter. "You don't have to worry, it has a 1 circled on it see? It's the ones with a 2 on them that you have to be scared of" he assures.

That's a lie.

I nod my head "oh okay" I say, waiting for Adelram to look away, but his eyes are trained on me.

Fantastic of course he is looking. Why wouldn't he keep looking? It would be too easy for him too look away.

Just act casual, act normal Kamaria, I had to repeat in my mind several times before I finally figured out what I would do.

I calmly put the pill in my mouth and pretend to swallow without a drink, but really the pill is resting comfortably beneath my tongue.

"Please tell me this will make me fall asleep" I beg, but in my mind I'm screaming the exact opposite.

Adelram laughs "don't worry, you'll be asleep in no time" he assures, making goosebumps litter my arms as a chill runs down my spine... and definitely not in a good way.

Finally Adelram takes his eyes off me, and focuses back on the road.

I can feel the pill inside my mouth melting, on the inside I'm completely flipping out. What the hell am I going to do now?

Suddenly an idea pops into my head. I let out a loud yawn and droop my eyes, pretending to be sleepy. Then I curl up in a ball on the chair, for once grateful for my thick long hair as it covers my whole face.

Slowly, oh so slowly I reach my hand forward, behind my hair and pull out the partly dissolved pill.

I don't really know what to do with it so I quietly stick it in my bra.

I stay like this, in an uncomfortable ball as I let out slow, long breaths, making it sound like I'm sleeping, until finally I feel the car pull off to a stop.
