Chasing The Rejected

-DIMITRI-

I briefly glanced at Clara as she groaned beside me as she adjusted her body on the car seat. I couldn’t help but sigh when I saw the frown on her face as she slept.

“We’ll be there soon” I murmured knowing fully well she was asleep.

Immediately after the call with Damon, I packed up her things and took her away from that house because I knew for a fact Damon had already tracked it down.

We were on our way to the second location and I had to look for a place to discard this car because I knew it was being tracked as well.

I drove in silence for a while till we got to a driveway where I had to park my car before we continued our journey.

I immediately got down from the car then took out our luggage before going over to the passenger door to wake Clara up.

“I don’t want to wake you but we need to walk now so we can catch the bus, hmm?” I murmured as I tapped her cheek gently but she just groaned at me without opening her eyes.

“You’ll have to carry me. I can’t walk,” She murmured and I sighed.

“How can I possibly carry you with all these luggage? Don’t worry, we’ll be there in no time, hmm? Just come down” I assured her but she just shook her head at me then stretched her arms at me.

“Carry me, I can’t walk” She murmured and I rolled my eyes.

“I can’t carry you with all these luggage, Clara” I explained to her and she huffed.

“Fine then, I’m not moving from this spot if you don’t carry me” She told me and I sighed.

“Can you not be a pain in the butt right now?” I questioned, not being able to hide the irritation from my voice. We were wasting precious time.

My eyes widened when she suddenly began to cry.

“No no no, why are you crying?” I questioned as I grabbed onto her face and she finally opened her eyes and stared at me.

“I’m pregnant and you’re being mean to me. Do you think Damon would be happy to hear you let me walk?” She questioned and I sighed.

“It’s not that far of a walk and…”

“I don’t want to go anymore. Damon!” She screamed out loud and I immediately placed my hand over her mouth.

“Okay okay, I’ll carry you. Jeez woman!” I muttered through clench teeth as I glanced around.

She grinned then motioned at me with her

“Thank you now, get down” She ordered and I rolled my eyes before turning around and squatting in front of the door.

“I may be a little heavy just so you know” She murmured as she climbed on top of my back.

I straightened up with her on my back then carried the luggage as I walked towards the bus station.

“Where are we headed?” She questioned after a while.

13:25 Sat,

+38%

“Somewhere your uncle can easily access you. Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you” I assured her and she hummed in response.

Soon, we got to the bus station and Fortunately, we were the last people to get into the bus.

I placed Clara down on the seat and we got comfortable before the bus drove off.

“You seem to really love Damon. Everything you seem to be doing is for him” Clara suddenly said, turning my attention to her.

“Of course I love my brother, he’s my role model and I’d do anything for him” I told her.

“But you two don’t seem to have a close relationship compared to his relationship with Luca” She pointed out a d I chuckled.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“You should have seen us back when we were still teenagers. Damon and I were like two peas in a pod but he was always closer to Luca. I was just a little brother that liked following him around and he always made me feel included. Whenever I was there with Damon, I always felt fulfilled. Contrary to what people think, Damon actually cares for his family Including our parents no matter how much he denies it. He has saved me more times than I can count and I’ve never really been able to do anything for him till now. I just want to repay him for all he has done for me” I explained to her and she slowly nodded.

My relationship with Damon right now was kind of complicated. He acted like he hated me but I know deep down he didn’t… although after this stunt I pulled with Clara, he might really hate me this time.

“Thank you for looking out for him and don’t worry, I won’t let him hurt you when we get back. I promise” She promised and I chuckled then nodded.

“I’ll remember your promise” I told her and we fell silent again.

My eyes darted towards her as she rubbed her stomach slightly before letting out a sigh. She had just a little bump but it

wasn’t obvious.

“Do you think it’s going to be a boy or a girl?” I questioned and she turned to me with a smile.

“I think it’s going to be a boy” She told me and I raised an eyebrow at her.

“Really? I think it’s going to be a girl but whatever the gender is, I know my parents, Delilah and Damon are going to spoil them silly so you better be ready” I told her and she was about to reply when we heard the driver yell;

“We are being ambushed!” He screamed and my eyes widened but before I could move, I winced as something sharp stabbed my neck.

I immediately pulled it out and saw that it was a little dart. Immediately, my head began to feel dizzy and my vision was getting blurry.

S**t! This wasn’t good at all!

I turned to Clara and she has lost consciousness after being shot on the neck with the dart as well. I pulled it out immediately and tried carrying her but I couldn’t feel my legs nor my hands.

I tried calling out her name but I could barely hear myself. Everyone on that bus has been shot by that dart as well.

Just then, a man emerged from down the aisle and as soon as my eyes landed on his face, my breath hitched.

It was Clara’s uncle. I remembered his face from the picture.

He reached out to carry Clara and I tried my hardest to fight him off but I was too dizzy and couldn’t control my body.

He pushed me off him easily then carried Clara in his arms a my strength to grab his leg.

I promised to protect her. I promised!

I let out a scream as he stepped firmly on my hand, crushing

“I Won’t kill you now because you brought my niece back to dead” The man uttered and before I could even blink, he was go

I failed to save her, I failed to protect her.

Damon was going to f**g kill me…
