Risen Chapter 16. All a lie

—

Kara laid on the couch unconscious with every second that passed by she was beginning to wake up, the men that knocked her stood at both sides of the couch.

Their boss kept having them glares, none of what they did was part of the plan, in some truth. She walked up to Kara’s unconscious body craving a touch but she held herself back, she wasn’t supposed to end up that way.

“What happened to not hurting her till we validate she’s her?” she asked her men, if they knew their boss at all as she had a very short temper if things are not handled.

The dark haired man on the left spoke on behalf of the three, he had a bruise on lower jaw. “Sorry boss, we underestimated her capability, we couldn’t have figured she—”

She shook her head constantly in complete disapproval, they knew exactly what they could encounter. “Well you should have, didn’t you tell me she had boxing training every freaking sunday. What did you think she was doing? Cleaning the gym?” she broke off into laughter, they all knew now to respond to their bosses moods, they kept their mouths shut.

She wasn’t at all cruel to either of them not one soul that worked for her, only a bit cold when it came to something or someone she cherished.

Goth, the man that caused all this upon Kara by striking her on the head cleared his throat, with that he got her attention. “Sorry boss it won’t happened again.” she knew him better than any one of those men, she knew she could trust his word.

She turned to the rest to address them instead, “It better not, what if she’s—”

“A-a...lex?” a faint voice caught both of them off guard and it came from the one and only Kara, Alex held her composer not to comfort her. She had to make sure it was actually Kara, she could trust no one not even her.

Kara sat up from the couch, one glimpse at her Alex brought back everything. The good memories she was overwhelmed with joy but that particular day hit like a hurricane, the shots the men everything leading to this day, the hell she went through.

Kara held her throbbing head, it was killing her maybe all this was just a dream. She closed her eyes for a second then exhaled after she opened her eyes all this would be gone, she waited patiently.

“It’s not a dream, open your eyes I got questions to ask you.” Kara opened her eyes immediately, that didn’t sound like the Alex she knew before, it was more emotionless.

“Who are you and why do you look like Alex.” Kara asked defensive, Alex’s men both stood there ready to attack. She looked at every one of them with a deadly glare, Kara could hardly stand more less attack her, they read her message at stood down.

With a huff she looked over at confused Kara, “I should be asking you the same question, imposter.” putting more persistence on the word imposter, she wasn’t wrong at all anyone would be suspicious if the love of their life just appeared alive again.

“I’m me, believe it or not.” Kara said it defensive, even if she wasn’t sure if it was Alex there was a certain amount of peace that settled in her for the first time in months, she had to prove herself as her for a reason.

“Okay if you are you, how are you alive.” Alex asked with a tilted head, Kara didn’t know how she was alive either. A wave of uncomfortable silence filled the entire room, Alex finally stand down.

“Okay...” she spoke while addressing Kara, she crossed her legs then leaned back against the chair. She brought her phone out of her pocket, “Ariana the bring the DNA test results.” then she hung up.

One more body appeared in the room, the annoying girl from earlier walked in with a sheet of paper and a completely different attire. Kara’s pupils grew in shock, if Ariana was with Alex who knows how many people have been watching her.

“You..” Kara hissed at Ariana who gave her a smirk, she handed the sheet of paper to Alex then sat down on the arm chair where Alex was. “Yeah me, missed me love?” Ariana asked while winking at Kara.

She shook her head getting an instant shock of pain, she stopped instantly, she looked at Alex. “Who else did you have watch me?”

No one replied, that’s when Alex looked up from the sheet of paper, she held her hand over her chest. “Oh you’re asking me, just my men, her and Shyla as well as mom.” then she went back to the paper re evaluating it, Ariana patted her on the shoulder she wore her gaze away from paper to Ariana, a hit of hope in her eyes.

Ariana spoke to confirm her exact thought, “They match Alex, it’s—”

“I need some time alone with her.” Alex spoke, it was overwhelmed with so many emotions, she didn’t know what was true anymore. Ariana and the three men didn’t move a muscle, Alex looked at Ariana pleading. “Please..” with that they left the apartment leaving the two souls.

Alex got up from where she had sat before to only sit with Kara, Kara watched Alex with careful eyes. Alex knelt down in front of Kara both her hand resting upon her thighs, she looked up from the floor into her eyes. “I’m sorry for everything I got you involved in, for losing hope and for causing you misery. Your life could have been better if you never had met me, Kara I—”

“No, none of that bullshit.” Kara now was kneeling down as well only inches from Alex, she got a hold of both her hands in hers. “My life could never have been better you know, none of the s**t that happened these past months is any of your fault, we can’t control life.” she spoke looking directly into her eyes.

Alex strongly disagreed, “But I could have if I didn’t do it, now our lives are at risk again.” she was certain they would come for her again, and now they had her greatest weakness in their hands.

Kara brought her hands on both sides of Alex’s head, forcing her to look into her eyes. “We can’t control life okay, maybe this is our fate.” Kara tried lightening up the mood with a faint smile but it didn’t work, Alex saw the pain through the smile and her eyes.

She hated herself, she was just as bad to Kara as her family said she would be. Maybe then if they had listened things would be different, “I’m sorry.” she whispered tears rolling down her face, if she could change everything she would have just for Kara’s happiness.

Kara laid her head down on her chest, holding onto Alex as she sobbed into her arms. She ran her fingers through her hair whispering sweet and comforting words into her ear, neither of the girls wanted the other to suffer but they both went through alot and having eachother in their arms felt like haven, the type they lost a year ago.
