Chapter eighteen Alone

1208 Words
I woke up to the sound of the door unlocking. I hoped it was my twins, I held my breath. Of course it wasn’t them, it was Lucinda dropping off another plate of food. She hardly looked at me as she scooped up my dinner plate. I really didn’t have anything to say to her really, I knew she wouldn’t tell me why I had to be under lock and key. I sat in bed with my arms around me legs, hugging them to my chest. I felt like I was being ripped apart. Finally I dragged myself out of bed and to the coffee table where she had left my breakfast. There was actually a tray with scrabbled eggs, toast, coffee, and two bottles of water. I wasn’t particularly interested in eating but I forced a few bites of the eggs down. They didn’t seem to sit well in my stomach. It twisted and flipped I knew I was about to get sick. I charged for the bathroom. I just barely made it to the toilet when I vomited. It must be the nerves of this stressful situation that had my stomach in knots. I managed to eat the toast and the coffee. The water I set aside for later. If she had come down it must have been the twins had already left. My dreams last night were horrible nothing but nightmares. No matter how hard I tried to couldn’t get away from this shadow that stalked me. When Lucinda had dropped off breakfast thankfully it had woke me up. I wondered what the twins were doing and what they were thinking. My belly was still churning so I flipped the t.v on and went to lay on my side. Normally if I lay on my side for awhile and not move it will go away. As long as I stayed still it didn’t bother me. I must have drifted off to sleep again because Lucinda brought me lunch. “You need to eat Emma.” She was being stern with me. I didn’t answer I just stayed still hoping not to vomit at the thought of moving to look at her. “Emma, are you okay?” She was suddenly concerned. “All the stress has my stomach churning that’s all.” I answered her coolly. “Look at me,” she was asking the impossible now. “I can’t if I move too fast I’ll lose it,” I took a deep breath. “Do you need a doctor?” She asked. “I don’t think so, I’m not sure I haven’t been this sick in awhile.” I admitted it’d been a few years since I felt like this. “I’ll call Dr.Black for a house call. If he thinks you’re really ill. I will tell Grady to let you out of here.” She walked over towards the bed looking at me. I kept my eyes closed and I felt her hand on my forehead. Her hand was warm and soft against my skin. “You don’t feel like you have a fever but you are quite white.” I could hear the mother tone in her voice. She took her hand off my head and walked towards the door. I couldn’t help but hope that Dr. Black tells her that I am very ill I just wanted my twins. My body aches for them, for their touch, their kisses, their smell. I was a mess, I’m in love. Third Person POV: The twins had woken up early, had called their pack in to talk with them. They wanted to know how the patrols went. If anyone had seen anything, something to go on anything at all. Everyone kept silent, no one soul had seen Emma’s father or mother let alone Emma. Dom kicked the coffee table and it fell apart. “How could no one soul see any of them?” He roared using his Alpha tone. Everyone flinched, except two people. Their parents who seemed bored. “Mom, you know something don’t you?” Ashton asked more accusing than questioning. “No,” but as she answered she kept her eyes glued to the floor. She wasn’t very good at lying, she knew they knew that. “Are you really accusing your mother?” Their father roared. “Yes, she’s not very good at lying and she can’t even look at us!” Roared Dom. “She’s just upset,” Grady was trying to be calm now. The twins both narrowed their eyes and snorted. Something was wrong here they knew that, but before they filled discussed this they turned to their pack. “Everyone go home, we are high alert. Back to your posts.” Commanded Dom. The house emptied quickly, soon it was just the four of them. Their mother still fixed on the floor, their father giving them an icy stare. She knows something. “Mom, don’t lie to us. You have no idea how painful this is. We know she is somewhere close because we can still FEEL her. Please,” Ashton was being soft as he pleaded. “She doesn’t know anything,” Grady stiffly said to them. “Yes she does, otherwise she would’ve looked at us by now.” Dom was cold to his parents. She sighed, “let’s just tell them,” it was almost so soft it was hardly audible. “No, we know nothing.” He tried using his Alpha tone but that didn’t work on Lunas plus he had given his title to his twins. “We will not sit here and be prosecuted. We are you parents damn it!” Grady stood then his eyes black. The boys let him leave the room while their mother continued to avoid their gaze. Emma’s POV The doctor would be coming later tonight, I assume after the twins leave for their tours. I dragged myself to the shower there was soap and shampoo in there but it was like hotels stuff. It smelled good but was I missed my shampoo. It made my hair easier to deal with this had a drying affect. I looked around the room for something comfortable to wear for when Dr. Black got here. I put my hair in a messy bun and found black sweats and a t-shirt. They smelled like Dom. I made the bed and flopped on the couch, I channel surfed for awhile. I found a sitcom that I half payed attention to. I was too busy trying to keep some water down. I wished more than anything that my twins would waltz in and take me out of here. The room wasn’t uncomfortable but it is unpleasant when you know your mates are a few floors above you. I knew they were running themselves ragged looking for someone that had never left their house. I closed my eyes and laid on the couch. I must’ve called asleep because there was a knock on the door followed by the locks turning. I sat up as I watched the door open, I saw Lucinda first the Dr. Black. Lucinda looked as if she grew tired of this, of hiding me from her boys.
