chapter nine
751 Words
A pain rushed through my head which made me hiss. My eyes still felt heavy but I managed to force them open. At first things were just a blur but then my eyes managed to take in detail.
"She's awake" came a females voice
A quick shuffling sound could be heard in the room as I blinked furiously.
"Ayanna, can you hear me okay?"
My eyes focused on the person next to me. Ambrose was sat on a chair but was anxiously leaning closer to where I lay on the bed.
"Uh-"
I tried to speak but my throat was dry and entrapped my voice
"Here"
The females voice caught my attention. I stared towards Emerald who held a glass of water. Ignoring the thumping in my head, I smiled and took the drink.
"Thank you" I managed to say
"What the hell happened Ayanna?"
I didn't like the tone in Ambrose's voice, it was demanding and simply too loud to listen to in my current state.
"I must've gotten really drunk" I muttered
"You weren't just drunk Ayanna, you were drugged" Ambrose told me
Drugged? What the hell was he talking about?
"No, I couldn't have been"
"Yes you was, Who was you with? Who gave you drinks? Do you even remember anything?"
His questions came out fast and I couldn't comprehend what was happening.
I knew I had been making my own drinks but I suppose it wasn't impossible for someone to slip something in. Why someone would want to do something like that to me I didn't know.
I thought back to the moments before blacking out. Tobias had gone to get me water but then someone else found me.
"How did I get home?" I questioned
"Someone brought you, we don't know who but they dumped you on the door step, rung the bell and left"
My mind wandered back to the mysterious person. "let's get you out of here". I couldn't piece the puzzle together.
"are you hurting anywhere?" Emerald asked
"No, just a terrible headache" I groaned
"Here take these"
I took the tablets from her hand and swallowed them quickly. Anything to get rid of this headache.
Suddenly the bedroom door opened and in stepped Azande. Lovely, just the person I want to see me in this state.
"She's awake..." he spoke slowly
well no s**t sherlock
"Yeah, woke up just a minute ago. Did you find anything?"
Did they have to speak as if I wasn't even here?
I watched as Azande crossed his arms and leant into the door frame. His eyes looked mischievous and I was eager to know to what he was about to say.
"Why don't you ask her who her friends are?"
I creased my eyebrows in confusion as Ambrose whipped around quickly to face me.
"Speak" He demanded
I was still confused about what was happening so I remained silent. I looked towards Emerald for help but she was clearly also waiting to know my answer.
"Reid" came Azande's voice
A smirk made its way onto his face while a scowl immediately met my brothers. Why was I in trouble and why is Azande enjoying it?
"Tobias Reid? you can't be fuckin serious?"
Ambrose's question was addressed to me but I was ready to mail it back away.
"and the rest of his little gang" Azande added on
What is this guy even still doing here?
"I'm so confused at what the problem is" I spoke
I seen the anger flare in Ambrose's eyes before he pushed it away.
"The problem is them, so from now on you stay well away from them. You understand me?"
"What!"
"You stay away from them" he demanded once again
I attempted to sit up quickly but the speed caused me to feel dizzy and I fell back towards the pillow.
"Lets leave this for later" Emerald spoke
Ambrose looked between Emerald then back to me before sighing.
"fine"
I watched as Ambrose stood and walked out the room, his best friend Azande in tow.
"Thank you Emerald"
A laugh echoed through the room before dropping to silence.
"I'm not Emerald, I'm Sapphire"
I took in her whole appearance. Was she trying to play some sort of joke?
"Emerald and I are twins" she explained
"Wow, you're pretty much the same person"
"Appearance yes but personality, I promise we're different"
"good to know" I smiled
"Now you better rest. Prepare yourself for Ambrose's rain of terror later" she spoke while leaving the room.
"Thanks!" I called after her
Ambrose's rain of terror? Was it really such a big deal that I had made some friends? How did Ambrose even know any of them and why did he have such a problem with them?
I let the questions run around in my head for a while but I came up short for any answers.
