was as equally hypnotic as Draven's. I could see him eyeing me cautiously under his long black hood and this added to the intimidation.
“I said no, I will meet him out here or not at all,” I answered remaining strong and trying to concentrate on my own voice and not his.
“Very well, I will go and inform him of your terms, please wait here.” He said smiling as this amused him greatly. He left through the huge doors that I had vowed I wouldn't walk through again. The memory of being trapped in there with Draven was both terrifying and exhilarating. Yesterday, seeing Draven, just proved that I couldn't be trusted. Every time I saw him, it was getting harder to control the urges I had, as all I wanted was to touch him, to be close to him in ways that were forbidden to me.
Meanwhile the band had started up and downstairs was getting busier with college students piling in to hear the live band. Karmun came over to me with a friendly smile as if he'd missed me.
“Well hello there Miss Johnson, can't get enough of us I see,” he said before downing a shot himself.
“Hey Karmun, missed me?” I said being cheeky
“Of course my dear, but how about a drink?” He offered but after what happened the last time I had downed liquid courage, I decided to pass.
“Suit yourself,” he said before leaving me to get the phone that was now ringing. I watched him pick it up knowing that this rarely happened. The whole time I had worked up here I had never heard the phone ring once. So it didn't surprise me when I saw his face looking confused, however what did surprise me was Karmun's reaction, as he was now bring the phone over to me.
“It's for you,” he said passing me the cordless handset. I put the phone to my ear expecting to hear a familiar voice but instead, all I got was a voice I only heard in my nightmares...
It seemed my past had finally caught up with me!
“Hello Ca...Umm... I guess its Keira now.” A deep voice spoke straight from my memories, but I was unwilling to accept the unspeakable truth.
“Who is this?”
“Oh Keira.... You. Know. Who. This. Is!” The voice said in a mocking tone, dragging out the words extending my pain. My heart crumbled at the sound causing tears to form in my eyes and overfill, falling down my cheeks in seconds.
“NO, NO, NO! IT CAN'T BE!” I screamed and everyone in the room shot me a look.
“I'm back Keira.....and guess what, I will be seeing you....very, very soon!” He said and I screamed louder than my lungs could take, I threw the phone down smashing it to pieces. People's stares were a mixture of confusion and what looked like pure joy. But there was one look I didn't wait around to analyse.... Draven had just entered the room.
I turned and ran for the staircase not stopping for anything or anyone. I had to run, I had to get away from this place...He knew where I was....He had found me and I had to escape again!!! I pushed into the security breaking through before they had time to react. I ran down the steps letting gravity help me, using my body's weight to do the same at the other end. I launched myself through the middle of the two men that stood in my way. I crashed through them landing on the floor with an almighty thud. I didn't even react to the pain that shot through my limbs on impact with the solid stone floor. The guards tried to grab me but I crawled out of reach before getting to my feet once more and running through the crowd. My head whipped round trying to way up my options of getting out of here but with Cameron and Jo taking orders from Draven, I didn't like my chances with that exit. So I ran towards the bar knowing there was one exit that wasn't guarded. I found who I was looking for and ran towards Mike who was serving somebody.
“Hey Keira...what's wrong...you....” I cut him off, trying to control my panting and said,
“Please Mike...he, he, help me...I have to get out of here...Please!” I stammered but he just pulled me out of sight and in through the back.
“Ok, ok calm down, I will help you....” He said making his way through the back to where I found a
