In Due Time

A Wake Up Call

        I feel the heat as I snuggle closer to his wa- I open my eyes to see Nicolo sleeping his chest facing my face and his arms holding me in a deadlock position. Aha! Caught you red handed. I smirk at his shut eyes. But I scowl at his frown and his worry lines. Not fair that he has such a burden here. Was our fight pointless? Was I too harsh? Was he? How could i figure out what was best. I don't want to leave. I don't want cam to be without him. I don't want to be without him either. But I know him. He won't leave with us. Not like he promises.

He will just be in a different house with the same situations. Did that annoy me? I guess not. I figured he wouldn't leave the lifestyle he was used to. I mean would I? His eyes begin to flutter and I shut mine quickly. I didn't want this confrontation now. We had to talk about this war that was possible and how we played into it sooner or later but I don't know if I'm ready for that now.

He groans as I peak through my eyelashes I see him stretch over with his one free hand and check the time before turning back. I shut my eyes again and feel a small light feeling on my lips. It sends shivers throughout my body and I hate how small the kiss was. But he gently gets up and I hear his footsteps as he begins to walk to what I assume is the door.

"Are you just going to leave without an apology?" I ask opening my eyes to see him turn around.
"I knew you were awake" he smirks coming back to the bed and leaning down pecking my lips.
"I'm sorry" he says kissing my nose and then my eyes I giggle as he kisses me everywhere.

"I love you, now get up it's breakfast time. I promise today I will come eat every meal with you" he says smiling. I swoon at his beautiful and sexy smile.
"Fine" I sit up and make my out of the bed as he leaves the room. What had gotten into him? Our conversation must have hit him hard yesterday. I make my way to the bathroom when I hear gun shots resonate through the house.

I run out of the room running in the direction of cam but there's hundreds of people in the hallway now running around and the maids are going crazy. I shove past them trying hard to just find my way to cam. When I make it to her room I see her on the floor crying. I cuddle her up and sit her down with her toys.

"Don't leave the room! Promise mommy you won't leave the room." She reaches for me crying and I can't bear to leave her as I lock the door and place her on the bed. I grab the nearest dresser and block the door with it. Next I grab her and run into the bathroom laying us both down in the big white bathtub.

Her tears fill my shirt as I try to stop her sniffling and her tears.
"Mommy" she cries out and I hold my hands against her ears as the shooting continues. But after a few minutes it stops. Everything from up here becomes silent. I can't hear any shooting and the commotion seems to have stopped. When I look down I see cam asleep her tears staining her closed eyes. How long had we'd been in here? Half an hour to an hour tops.

I get out slowly clutching her against my body and I go lay her on the bed. I place pillows around her and make my way over to the door.

Removing the bulk of a dresser I unlock it and step out closing the door behind me. But what i see is horrific. Dead bodies everywhere as the blood lines the hallway. People, men and women who lived and worked here. I scowl my stomach churning in disgust. Who would do this?

What had happened here? I slowly make my way around all the people and hold in my urge to vomit as I walk slowly down the stairs. Blood and bodies line the salon and the dining room and my heart begins to beat fast. Some men and women who survived stand around attending to each other's wounds and looking for other survivors.

I look around for Nicolo but he is no where to be found. I frown tears lining my eyes in a panic. Where was he? It wasn't possible that anything might have happened to him? Oh god. Everything was wrecked.
