Killers Attract

Chapter 15

The moment my eyes squint open i feel nauseous. My eyes burn from the sudden move, making me close them yet again. I try to bring my hand to my head to soothe my headache, but it's stopped by a firm hold onto my hand. My eyes snap open instantly, my whole body jolting causing me to groan out in pain.

The hold on my hand is gone as a tall blurry figure towers over me.

"Shhh - Mags, you're okay. Easy." The voice speaks, the figure leaning down towards me slowly becoming clearer.

"Dane?" I think that was me who spoke, the voice is weak and soft. Not sounding one bit like my own.

Dane nods his head while leaning over me to fluff my pillows up to help me sit up properly. My eyes look around me in confusion, noticing i am indeed laying in a bed, the room looks a lot like-

"You're in the Medic Room at The Knights Estate," Dane cuts off my thoughts sensing my confusion.

I don't say anything, i just watch him sit down on a chair that sits beside the bed. He takes my hand in his once again, looking into my confused eyes.

"You really scared us, Magsie." His hold on my hand suddenly becomes firmer.

I continue to look at him not saying a word. Just silence.

He frowns at me, his other hand coming up to brush my hair away from my face. Placing his hand on top of mine so now both his hands enclose around mine, he looks at me carefully.

"Magsie?" Do you remember what happened?" His cautious voice asks me.

Frowning at him, my brain tries to re-invite the previous events. Slowly all coming back to me in waves.

"Yeah... A crash. We were in a car accident," my voice comes out painfully slow. "Arlo and i- " My voice drifts away, my breath abruptly coming to a halt.

Maggie, no. What did i say? Stay with me. Please. Please. Stay with me.

It is going to be alright.

I will get you out of here.

My eyes go wide. My heart stopping.

Arlo.

"A- Arlo." I choke out, i ignore the pain as i try to sit up. Dane holds me down. I shake my head at him, my neck throbbing from the action. I try to push him away from me, not understanding why he's holding me down.

"Maggie. Stop. You are going to hurt yourself." Dane tells me, trying to stop me from moving.

"N- no. You don't understand. Arlo was in that car with me, Dane." My words are quick, rushed, panicked. "We both- "

"He's okay. He's fine." Dane cuts me off, giving me a look i can't quite decipher.

I freeze. Letting out a breath i didn't realise i was holding.

"He was the one who called us to come over here." Dane tells me, slowly letting me go.

I furrow my brows at him. "Us?"

"Danny and i," he confirms.

I nearly choke.

"Danny is here?"

"Yes. You are coming home with us." Dane's voice is hard and serious.

"Excuse me?" I say in disbelief.

"You are coming home with us, Maggie. It is too dangerous for you here. It's why Arlo called us."

That bastard. How dare he.
