Chapter 17 - When the Devil Came for Her

Aria's POV-

Jayden! So he is here?

"So how do you know, that he is not Lucian?", I asked and pulled away from his grip.

"M-my in-instincts. He!", he stammered and then smiled at me.

"Oh yeah! Instincts? Right? Then use your instincts and tell me why did that bastard leave us, when we got into this mess, with Kade!!", I shouted at him.

"Yes! Exactly beautiful, he left you all when you needed him. Ha! What a friend.", a voice said from behind.

I looked at Jayden he was trembling, I turned back only to see...

Kade along with Maddox and Silas, probably, accompanied by three more men carrying a baseball bat and 2 metal pipes.

Shit! Shit! Shit!

They stopped but Kade moved forward...

He came towards me... Aria! Do something! I fought with those people when I was with Lucian and now! Come on but my body refused.

I tried to run but Kade pulled me, and pushed me against the wall.

He came close!

"Aria", Jayden shouted but they held him.

" Ms. beautiful, although Aurora refused me but you are much prettier than her! So, how about a deal? You please me and I will leave you alive.", he said and moved his hand through my face, and then smiled at me.

" Not even in your dreams!", I shouted and pushed him back.

Suddenly...

A bat hit me hard, I fell down on my knees. My body felt numb.

But... I could see Jayden fighting them, not too soon but he fell down.

"A-Ari-Aria!", he whispered.

Kade moved forward but Jayden pulled him, although he was weak, still he pulled him down.

"Kade! Back off! Don't lay a finger on her, Lucian will kill you. Save yourself, run away, Kade! I warn you, he is here!!!!" Jayden shouted as blood dripped from his mouth.

"Ohh! He will kill me. Ha! The guy who left you all abandoned and you say he will come here, stupid! And whatever I do with her, has nothing to do with him!", Kade spoke as he struggled to stand up.

Although Jayden pulled down 2 of the members and the third one ran away, only he, Silas and Maddox were left, if I am not wrong.

"Kade, Lucian hates when someone lays a finger on his people.", Jayden whispered, while he tried to gather all his strength but failed.

"Okay! Then let's see." Kade said and walked towards me.

 I wanted to fight, Aria! Fight, he's never coming, get up fight Aria!

Slowly, he approached me and my vision started to blur. Shit! No! Don't faint. Not right now please! 

NOOOOO!!

They will use me. Fight Aria! Fight!

But... I felt a hand on my waist... noo! noo! please!

 "Pity on you! But I'll still give you a chance." he said and moved closer...

But...

A punch flew through the air, and landed straight on his cheeks, he fell down.

I looked up... A guy, maybe I should say the same guy, who was wearing the black mask was there... I could not see clearly. 

Suddenly... Maddox and Silas charged towards him...

The guy picked up the metal pipe and hit Silas hard on his stomach that he puked all blood from his mouth.

He spun smoothly, landing a kick on Maddox's leg…

 He was about to fell but the guy caught him and then punched him so hard on the jaw that he fell down. 

He then moved towards Kade, He held the metal pipe...

He bent down, pulled Kade up, held his collars and said something that sent shiver down my spine.

"Lucian never left! And never lay a finger on his girl again while he is away, if I leave you in a better state. Mind it! " He shouted and banged the metal pipe straight on Kade's fingers, Kade shouted so hard that my ears felt numb.

That voice… it can't be… no, it's impossible.

The guy then walked towards me...

 Who is he? I have seen him but my vision was too blur to make it out who he was!

He held me in bridal style, and carried me. "Jayden, he-he..." I whispered gathering all the voice left.

The guy stopped, pulled out his phone and messaged someone. 

The next thing...

I fainted.

I opened my eyes only to see Aunt Nilia. I looked around. I was in the hospital!

Seriously, should I just make a temporary house in this hospital?

"Are you okay dear?", Aunty asked.

"Yes aunt." I replied but... a question struck my mind.

"Aunty, why do I always faint when something serious happens? Is there a history or do I have a mental problem? Tell me please." I demanded.

"No dear.", she answered and forced a smile.

I forced a smile back. But I knew she was hiding something, I have a past, a past which must be related to this problem but how? and what?

I looked towards aunt, she avoided my eyes.

"How is grandma?", I asked, trying to change the topic.

"She is still in Scotland, I'll try to contact there soon." she replied and moved out. 

Suddenly... Adrian entered.

"Aria! Thank god, you are fine.", he seemed worried.

"Where is Jayden? How is he?", I asked him with pleading eyes.

"He is fine but Aria answer me. Who helped you both? Who had beaten Kade to death? And about Silas, let's not discuss." Adrian ordered.

"What happened to them tell me or I will not answer." I shouted.

"Kade was found screaming outside the school, he was half unconscious, and crying, his fingers were broken and bleeding. Silas was besides the road, and lost almost of his blood and is in critical condition and Maddox was found fainted just outside the school gate, and rest three guys were found besides Jayden." he answered.

Shit! I didn't expect this much to happen!

Suddenly... A nurse called him out.

"Take care, I'll find out who helped you both. And yes, everyone is worried about you." he said and held my hands.

"Okaay! Now go and yes don't worry!", I said and pulled back.

This guy knows how to flirt.

He moved out but as soon as the gate opened...I saw the masked guy. He was in a hurry but met my gaze...

 Who is he? and where is he going?
