" Missed me, sister?" Said the man who had haunted my dreams, detested my existence so much that I would be lying lifeless if I didn't make a move. Alex stood before me smiling wickedly as by his feet, lay a pool of blood. The fear that engulfed me , darkness of the monster that stood before me. The murderous look in his eyes made me sick to the stomach.

The rush kicked in and I ran inside shutting the door behind me. I searched frantically for my phone and found mine at the coffee table and Juliana's cell phone too. I put mine in my back pocket and dialed 911, using Juliana's phone. The pounding on the door grew and I heard a last banging noise before it went all silent.

It will be alright.

Everything will be fine.

My baby will be fine.

I brought the phone to my ears as a female voice answered, the phone was snatched from me and now was lying by the television, in pieces broken.

" You can't run from me, you bitch. Such a disgrace for everyone, for our family." Alex spat angrily as he held my hand tightly and my heart raced and the panic in me rose. He pulled my hands behind and tied them with a rope. Tears welled up in my eyes as the memories of past had me have a visit in the gone bys. He was my friend!

" Alex,please. I don't even know what you are talking, you were my friend! Don't do this, Jason will not leave you breathing." I pleaded to him. He grew angrier and his palm collided with my cheek and I cried out in pain. It hurts, the pain, physically and mentally, I feel exhausted. How can he do this to me? I don't want to die , I will make it out alive for my baby.

" Oh please Cathedral! I never liked you, I wasted all my time with you , just because you need to be somewhere." He looked at me, his eyes held disgust and contempt. I shook at the look he had on his face.

" Correction, I am your brother, well elder brother." He continued smirking .My eyes went as wide as saucer, brother, what the hell?

" What do yo- Ahh.." Slap! He slapped me and my cheek throbbed. Tears flowed freely.

Was I really going to die?

Will my baby never see their father?

Will they even see this world?

Will I ever see Jason again?

" One more word and I will parcel you to your Oh-so-lovely boyfriend in pieces in Greece." He said aggressively as he pulled me along with him down the elevator and into a black and hideous car. The car reeked of alcohol. It took me everything to not give it into the darkness waiting , hovering over me.

The silence was consuming me and I was battling the darkness. Blood was flowing freely from my lip and my cheeks had bruises, I felt ugly, impure from within.

" Wh-Why are yo-you doing th-this Alex?" I asked him looking forward as I had been thrown in the backseat while my hands were tied.

Silence

" If you are going to kill me, at least tell me what have I done ?"

Silence again.

I sighed deeply, at the moment I closed my eyes and the only image that came to my mind was Jason, he had grief etched on his face as he caressed my dead self. My heart shattered as a lonely tear trickled down his cheek.

Who will look after Jason if I die?

A sound in my subconscious mind was hurting my soul and tormented me, it only said one word,

" Mama"

I felt a jerk and my face gashed into the front seat. The brakes were applied and we had stopped. I tried to lift my head but I failed. The door to my right opened and I was pulled out. The harsh pull was stronger than I could sustain and I fell to the ground as the impact. It took a couple of minutes to look around and observe the place. It was a deep and dark place, it was cold and goosebumps appeared onto my pale skin, not only from the cold and icy weather.

There were headstones everywhere, I turned to find I was standing beside to a headstone which read Emet Rollings, beloved mother and friend. I gasped at seeing the headstone.

We were in a graveyard.

Alex pulled me deep into the graveyard. I saw thousands of Headstones. My throat went dry and my skin lost its colour. We kept walking, uhh, scratch that he kept dragging me into the graveyard. He held a bags, I was suspicious. The contents of inside were unknown to me. Nevertheless, he dragged me to a specific headstone. There was a statue of a pair of angels and a heart shaped headstone by each side,in the between was a headstone, it was different from the two, it was shaped like a crib for a baby. I couldn't read the names engraved on the headstones. Alex harshly pushed me over there, so I was standing on the grave in the middle. I quickly moved back in fear. He had already pulled out a torch and flashed it by my side. There was a row of lilies laying wilted yet beautiful.

Arianna Knight

Preston Knight

I lowered my gaze to look at the headstone placed in the middle. I looked closely to see some roses engraved on it unlike the two heart shaped.

Avery Knight

Knight?

The Knights! This was Xavier's family! Oh my lord! But why would Alex drag me here? Why did he call me sister?

" Alex, why are we here, they are Xavier's parents, why ?" I managed to say without breaking while every tissue in my body telling me let my guard down and accept that I am going to die.

" This is not only Xavier's family, this is my family too, this is your family too." I heard his voice soften.

What? My family?

" December 6th 1998, the award function night ,our business was blooming. Father and mother were going to attend the award function in New York, we used to live in London. You were not even two years old so they had to take you with them. Not Xavier, not even me who begged them to stay, they took you with them. Father was ecstatic, after all he had received the award for the businessman of the year. They met with an accident. They were dead and you Avery, made it out alive, it's all your fault they are dead. You have been nothing but a disgrace you bitch!" His soft tone was replaced with a harsher one and his hold on me grew tighter and he pushed me onto the ground.

" Our parents always cared for you, it was like I did not exist. All they did was adore you and praise Xavier for getting good grades. I did not even exist for them. I was happy, truly happy when I got the news that you all had died in the car crash, but your bastard of grandfather took you. You are not even their real blood. You were not Cathedral Weston, You were Avery Lillian Knight. We were the big news then, the adorable and precious Knight siblings, you, Xavier and I." He continued and I listened as I stood up.

" After that incident, Xavier went abroad for studies and I was taken in by the Chesters, our mother's family. When I saw you in college, I knew it was you, Avery. Then I planned it all, planned to kill you. You were never meant to live, you should be in there, in the grave with your name on it, you should be dead, rolled up in there." He pointed to the grave with my name, is this true?

Out of nowhere, I remembered the initials on my paintbrush, AK. The restrains on my hands were getting tighter or so I felt. Alex was distracted looking at the grave, my parents grave, my grave.

I quietly took my phone out as it was in the back-pocket. I rolled my wrists so I could break the restraining ropes. It did not budge. I tried three more times but I failed.

I took a deep breath in. This was my only and golden chance to escape. I closed my eyes.

For my baby

I put all my strength and kept trying. The rope snapped open. I did a happy dance in my mind. I held onto the phone very tightly and ran.

I ran for my baby from the demons.

It was a deserted area as I heard no sound, I don't even know where I was. I took out the phone as I heard Alex shout my name. My hands trembled as I dropped the phone in hurry. I took deep breath and dialed the very first contact before my eye, Xavier.

Three rings had gone but no one had picked up, please Xavier pick up! I heard the footsteps nearing so I ran further and hid behind a large tree.

" Hello" The phone had been picked up and by none other than Xavier.

" Xavier, Al-Alex, Alex has me, i-in a graveyard. Please help me, he will kill us pl-" I was interrupted by a push and I hit the ground hard but I held my stomach protectively.

" YOU BITCH! I will kill you, don't try act over-smart me, you can't run away Avery, not from your brother." He neared me as I was laying on the ground. He kicked me near my stomach and I cried in vain, as I felt the pain, I cried for my baby.

" No please, not my baby please,please..." I cried and regretted what I had said.

" Son of a bitch! You are pregnant! I would have really felt sorry for Jason that you were going to carry his bastard child, even more fun to kill two." He laughed at my face while he kicked again. I found myself blacking out but I fought it. My heart cried for the fate of this innocent child .He suddenly stopped kicking and backed off when he heard sirens and lights. The police had come, Alex had ran away I don't know where and I had to run away too. I got up with all the strength in me I ran after I picked up my phone. I disappeared before the police could see me. The sight of a busy road gave a a secure feeling. I stood by the pavement waiting for a taxi. After a couple had passed one finally stopped and I sat hurriedly.

" The airport please, hurry!" I said to him as fished out all the dollars I had. I could easily get to the airport with this money. On the other hand, for the ticket and boarding, I had all the files on my phone and I could also make transition using it.

" Ma'am you are bleeding, do you want me to take you to a hospital?" The taxi driver asked.

" No, the airport please." I repeated, I had a deep cut on my left arm while there were several minor cuts on my legs.

I cried silently, remembering everything I was leaving behind, everyone.

My phone rang and cut short my crying, I looked at the caller ID, It was Jason calling me. I fought the urge to pick up the call but I lost and ended up picking the call.

" Jason" I whispered as my heart was racing out of my chest cavity and colliding with stretum, just to hear his voice. I closed my eyes and let the tears flow freely.

" Wes, where the hell are you?" He asked as the driver told me that we had arrived and I am damn it! Surely Jason had heard it. As I heard a deep sigh drizzled with anger.

" Cathedral, are you leaving me?" His voice sounded broken and my heart cried in pain. The tears that had been held up, now flowed freely.

" Jason, you were my first everything. You are my everything. Just never forget that I love you more than anyone, I will always love you. Try to forgive me. Take care" I cut the call and proceeded to buy a ticket. I asked for the soonest flight to anywhere, which was by the way in half an hour. I looked down my ticket to see the flight I was taking was to New Orleans. I went to the restroom and made my appearance a lot less like the zombie I was looking like. The ladies in there stared at me like I was a ghost. I had blood all over my arms but my baby was safe, I felt it. The kicks surely had an impact but not on my stomach. I cleaned myself up and scrubbed off the blood.

The announcement had been done after a wait of half an hour. I was breaking from within to leave everyone, my home, Jason. Tears never stop for me.

I walked to the elevator and climbed up to reach the gate. I was just going to board when a hand on my wrist stopped me. The touch had given me butterflies. I was spun around and a pair of lips were smashed on mine. I didn't even have to look at the person, our lips completed and fitted like pieces of puzzles. The kiss was intense that it took my breath away and I felt knee weak. All the emotions were poured into a single seal of lips. We broke the kiss and gazed intensely at each other ignoring all the cheers and wolf whistles. My eyes filled with tears, he will not want this child and I can't let go of our blood. But I was happy for a second. I felt epic.

Jason had come for me.

It felt like heaven again, meeting the one true love of my life all over again, even for a second it did. Like in movies or in perfectly written books. The moment held magic and yet it was based on the reality, very treacherous reality. My hand found its way to his cheek and wiped a single tear as he kept his hand on mine, I saw the forest in his eyes come to life again. He took a step back and I looked at him, totally confused.

Was he going to let go soo soon?

He smiled brightly, the one that you could die seeing just once. His head dipped a little as if he was nervous, before he bent down on one knee and pulled out a jewelry box. The cheers escalated.

Was I dreaming or was this really happening?

" Wes, you are my one true love, all the writers write about. You consume me and yet you make me better. I am head over heels in love with you. You are my home Wes, you are my whole damn world and I can't picture a morning waking up without you in my arms. I fell in love with your innocence. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Your beauty knows no bound inside out. You complete me. Woman, you have driven me mad . The color of your deep sea eyes, every honey brown lock of your hair, your sun bright smile and every inch of you, I love it all. I am in love with the woman who is filled with compassion and determination, I don't care, Avery Knight or Cathedral Weston, I'm in love with you Wes. Grow old with me Wes. Wes, will you marry me?"

I stood there while he took out the ring to me, tears cascaded down.

A thousand times yes!!!!

I will marry you!

God you stupid woman, you will have to say that loud!

So you are back aren't you?

" Yes, yes a thousand times yes! I will marry you Jason." I smiled at him and bent down as he slid the ring on my finger. I crashed my lips on his and kissed him passionately in the middle of the airport. I broke the kiss and looked at the crowd that had gathered. I was shocked to see my parents, Jason's parents, Vanessa, Jared, Samantha and Xavier.
