I couldn't breath. He took her. That's who he took. He took Kate.
"How could I have been so stupid to have let this happen. How could I just not expect him to ruin my life again." I said softly.
Kadin looked over at me and he hugged me. I was still stiff from what I had found out. My eyes were full of rage and pain.
"Liv you didn't know that this was going to happen. It's not your fault." he said but I didn't believe him.
"I....I shouldn't have been so naive to think my life would get better. I'll never get a happy life. I'll never be freed from my past.....I'm sorry Kadin... I never should have let my father hurt anyone. I never should have.... met you" I said and I finally break.
I cry and I can't help myself. I can't stop because I know it's my fault and I know that I'm weak.
Kadin's eyes are full of sorrow and that just makes me cry more.
"..liv.... please stop beating yourself up for something you have no control over. I know you aren't sorry for meeting me. Even if you feel all of this pain right now. I know you feel like you're weak but...Liv.. you are the strongest person I know." He said lifting my face up.
"I try to pretend that I am fine....I don't think that that's the definition of strong Kadin" I said.
He looks at me and kisses me softly.
"Everyone has weak moments Liv. We aren't robots. We feel emotion." he said and I felt better.
"When did you become so wise." I say faking a laugh.
He grins and I grin back. My grin fades though as I realize that I spent too much time breaking down. I stand up and so does Kadin.
"Kadin please stay behind. I don't want anyone else to get hurt" I said letting go of his hand.
"Liv I'm going with you and you can't change my mind." he said and I could tell that he was hurt that I didn't want him to come.
I sigh knowing that he wouldn't listen to me anyways. He could get hurt. I could get him injured. Wait...but wasn't I also running into danger? Why wasn't I scared for myself? I could get hurt really bad and yet I was fine with it. I was more worried about what could happen to my friends that I didn't care how much pain I would feel. I didn't care. I could tell that he was thinking the same thing.
"Kadin, please listen to me and stay. I don't want anyone else getting hurt." I said looking into his dark brown eyes.
He grabbed my hand and gave me a kiss. I could see the pain in his eyes. I sigh and run away. I leave him standing there by the bench as his eyes are filled with sorrow. I bite my lip nervously to stop myself from going back to him. I had to focus on getting Kate safe.
I run past many people and push my way through the crowds. I see two figures standing in the old parking lot and I held my breath. He stood by Kate who was on the floor, curled up in terror. I could see that he had a blade in his hand. Kate looked up and my heart dropped as her eyes were full of terror.
I step towards her cautiously and bend down to her. My father just watched me with a chilling grin. I helped her up and she had a cut across her arm.
"Are you okay? Did he hurt-" I fell to the floor before I could finish my sentence.
I felt a sharp pain in my back and my vision became a little fuzzy. I looked around and my father grinned down at me. The blade that he was carrying and a little blood on it. I felt the sting of the cut on my back but it was like it was just a small papercut. I couldn't feel much.
