ÃLPHA BÕYS
Alpha Boys - Episode 57 & 58
(The•Devil's•Plaything)
★★★★★★★★★★★★★
"Oh boy, you played with the wrong person" Killian muttered, cracking a bone in his neck singlehandedly.
"Argghhhhh!!! Ahh!! Mphhh!" His shriek came in a muffled, choked and yet deep melody, echoing in the neighborhood, but Killian sure wasn't done with him.
He crushed his windpipe and slid his thumb pad between two other bones, making him go limp completely.
He let go of his body, and he landed with a crash.
Zinnia felt the absence of his hand behind her head and looked up slowly to meet his slashing gaze.
Is it weird that she doesn't even remember the crazy dead drunkard who's on the ground right now?
Her eyes stayed on Killian's, not believing what just happened.
Did he just come for her? Did he just save her yet again? Is he really in front of her?
"Are you real?" She mumbled, settling her eyes on his own brown orbs before bringing it up to his eyebrows and down to his lips.
She gasped when a sense of realization dawned on her, it's him!
He's really here after warning her to run away from him...
That's right...run!
She turned immediately, and when she made to run the survival race again, he grabbed her wrist, and her breaths hit a hitch, making her chest rise.
He pulled her along, and that was when she was able to release her breaths though she's still shaking.
She followed his pull, and she had to hold his shirt with her second hand so she wouldn't fall.
"Where are... there are we going?" She stammered.
No reply till they arrived at the park and he set her down, back on the swing chair.
"Stay here, I'll be back" he told her, and she looked up at him.
"Huh? How many minutes?" She sniffled
"Five" he replied simply, and in the next minute, he already disappeared down the road.
She sniffled again, still not believing this is actually happening.
Her eyes darted to her knees, and she gasped when she saw how badly she's bleeding. The blood covered the plasters already.
She whimpered slightly in pains, but then she removed the first plaster, revealing the fresh wound reeking of blood.
Bruno told her to go get it treated at the hospital, but she's not even in hospital mood, and now it got worse.
She opened the second plaster and sighed when she saw that one is just as big as the first one.
She started blowing air on it from her mouth, and then Killian returned.
He's not empty-handed, he came with two plastic bags and dropped one on the swing chair beside her, then he opened the second one and squatted in front of her.
It contains wound treatment and disinfection tools.
He took her right leg and checked out the wound first, and she could swear that she saw guilt shimmer in his eyes, but it was just for a millisecond.
It disappeared before he got bactine, opening the lid then faced her.
"It's gonna sting" he said, and she immediately shut her eyes.
He returned to the wound and poured the disinfectant in it.
She stilled her body and hardened her bones, but it still wasn't enough to lock out the sting.
She held his shoulder as he took the second one and disinfected it too, and she almost peed on herself at the stinging pain.
He began blowing air on the wounds from his mouth as he added the remaining healing ointments, and she calmed down, sniffling every minute as she watched him.
He dressed the knees with gauze then came up to her neck to remove the muffler.
It's still slightly red, so he rubbed ointment on it too. She had to close her eyes again, folding her fists tightly on her laps cos of the effect of his touch.
He got vitamin and woundaid pills too.
"Open" he brought them to her lips.
"I can use them myself" she muttered.
"Open up" he insisted, and she hesitantly did.
He placed the pills on her tongue and helped her with bottled water.
She swallowed the drugs gently, then he continued squatting in front of her, watching her with that look of intrigue again.
She started picking on her nails, and he sighed before suddenly sweeping her up in his arms, making her gasp.
He took the second bag too and started carrying her back home like that.
Gabriel came out of his hiding place by the carousel with a shocked look in his eyes.
He saw everything, every single display of affection from Killian.
...
Zinnia had to wrap her arms on his neck throughout, and no matter how much she tried to avoid eye contact, she failed as usual.
As for him,he never took his eyes off her, and when their eyes met for the fourth time, she didn't look away anymore.
She kept up the lock with him till they got home, and for the first time in the history of Killian Cameo Alpha, he entered her house through the door.
He went straight to her room without waiting for her to show it, and he dropped her gently in bed.
He covered her properly with the duvet and dropped the bag on her bedstand.
She badly wants to ask him tons of questions, but her lips felt sealed.
Seems the drug is starting to take effect cos she fell asleep even before he could leave.
He sat beside her and lowered his frame to her body, plastering a deep kiss on her forehead then gentle strokes on her hair before standing.
He didn't look back as he walked out, but he stopped when he got to the living room and met Gabriel inside already.
"Kill...ian" he stuttered, trying to hide his fear which he didn't succeed in.
One minute, Killian remained standing, glaring at him, and in the next minute, he was already in Gabriel's face, slamming him a punch.
Gabriel well behind the door, mouth bleeding as Killian crouched in front of him.
"Still remember this?" He showed him the 1992 tattoo on his fingers, and Gabriel swallowed.
"And this?" Killian showed him the bullet necklace.
"You can just kill me if you want... please don't... don't hurt Zinni" Gabriel pleaded, and Killian smiled cruelly.
"Interesting, but you don't get to tell me what to do. We made a deal remember? You ruined me because of your daughter and wife, and I promised to take it out on them when I grow up. I'm all grown man! Your wife is dead already, but the daughter is still alive, fair enough" he said.
"You don't hate her. You'd have killed her if you wanted to. You didn't look at her like you hated her when you were treating her wounds at the park, you were looking at her like you love her madly and insanely, you're in love with Zinni and I know you don't know the meaning but I can help you" Gabriel said in a rush, and Killian jammed another punch into his face.
Gabriel's head pounded against the wall, and he sustained another injury.
Killian raised the third punch almost instantly, and Gabriel knew he'd die if that one meets him.
His life flashed in front of him, but then Killian changed his mind in the last minute, dropping his fist before storming out of the house like thunder.
Gabriel continued sitting there, bleeding and shaking.
*
BENNETT'S MANSION*
Dinner got over just now, but just like it has been since days ago, Ludo didn't come for it again.
"Are you attending Sasha's burial tommorow?" Dona Bennett asked Honoria.
"I'm not sure, I need to ask Ludo first" she replied.
"Why must you ask that parasite everything?" Don Bennett frowned over a bowl of dessert.
"I'll be right back" Honoria went upstairs and entered Ludo's room.
She didn't knock, and Ludo grimaced immediately her head popped in.
"Sissy!" Honoria beamed.
"Ever heard about knocking?" Ludo replied grimly, going back to that she was doing... scrolling through her gallery.
"Since when do I have to knock before entering your room? Yunno you've changed drastically since the past few days" Honoria sat beside her in bed.
"Can you leave the room already? I need to think" Ludo replied uninterested.
"Mama and Papa will be going to Sasha's burial tommorow, we should go with them. I can't deny my happiness over her death, but she was our friend anyways" Honoria talked again .
Silence.
"I can continue chasing after Killian now that she's gone, i got the crown back. I'll resume as the school queen on Monday and finally seduce Killian since rumours say he hates Misfit at the moment" Honoria continued.
Another silence.
"Ok enough of this!" She snatched Ludo's phone and smashed it on the ground.
"Hono!" Ludo spranged up.
"Yes I smashed your phone what are you gonna do poor orphan! " Honoria shouted at her face.
"What? "
"Aren't you? I've been cosseting you so much that you forgot your place and even had the guts to ignore me! Have your forgotten you were brought from the streets into this house? My merciful parents made you act like my sister to protect you but you're starting to forget that! I'm the only daughter in this family! You're not a Bennett!" Honoria shouted and pushed Ludo's chest.
Ludo fell on the bed boneless, looking tongue-tied.
"Watch your back from now on, orphan!" Honoria spat and walked out of the room .
Ludo stood and threw the pillow and duvet away from the bed angrily, gripping her head afterwards.
"DÃ mnnnnn!!!"
*
COTTAGE*
Alice is still in.
She left her cameras in good condition before leaving the country, but now she met the Polaroid broken.
She'd have gave them to a fixer, but she really really dislikes when others touch her things, and the cameras are too precious to throw away.
They're Aurora's first gift to her.
She tried to fix the camera on her own, but it's not that easy.
"Just give the damn camera to a fixer! Urgg! I hate seeing you struggle over things like this!" Alyssa came in with one of the bull dogs from the mansion.
"What did you bring that demon to do here!!!" Alice climbed the bed quickly.
"Take it out you know how much I hate dogs!! Alyssa!! " She screamed.
"Mercury, go play with her" Alyssa spoke to the giant dog and it started going for Alice.
"No no no!!!! Get it away!!!" Alice began screaming as the dog started rushing to her, but Zade came in suddenly and held the dog back.
"Mercury, go wait in the living room" he said, and the dog left immediately.
"It's not f+cking funny!" Alice said angrily, jumping down from the bed.
She stormed out of the room, and Alyssa began laughing.
"Is her anger over small issues still intact?" Zade asked.
"It got worse, and someone broke her Polaroid I think" Alyssa replied, falling on the bed.
"Gotta go calm her" Zade started leaving.
"Get me a bowl of marshmallows while coming back!" Alyssa shouted after him, throwing her flip flops away from her feet before getting her phone for pictures.
*
CHESS ROOM*
Alice was sitting alone when Zade came in, and she grunted.
"If you're here to calm me, then you're not the right person. Alyssa just loves pissing me off"
"She enjoys pissing people off so why do you always let her get under you skin?" Zade sighed.
"Can't help it, that witch" Alice muttered.
"Care for gists? You'd hear it all when you resume school on Monday though but nah...I should let you know before hand" he replied.
"About who? Jordan? Killian? Hard...
"It's Kill, his emotions are coming back though he's denying it" he replied.
"What! Who brought them back? A girl? Who's she? Show me!" She said impatiently.
"Ion have her picture, but I on heard Hardin saying her IG handle is Z-Fox" he said.
She quickly went to Instagram and searched. Zinnia's account popped up, and she saw the only picture there.
The picture she posted when she got her Volvo car.
"She's... pretty.... But..." Alice said with uncertainty.
"But?" Zade raised his brows.
"I dunno, she's obviously not from our organization. She looks too ordinary and I don't like it" she replied and stood, walking out of the room.
"Hard-f+cking-tack" Zade muttered, texting his brothers...
• Where the f+ck are you wankers? Why am I the only one taking care of the girls?
*
KAREN'S MANSION*
"OMG!!!' Karen screamed when she opened her door to meet the girls right there, all except Zinnia.
They came for sleepover actually. They planned it after Zinnia suddenly went offline earlier.
"Wait... where's Zee?" Karen asked.
"We made a detour at her place, and saw she's asleep already. We didn't wanna disturb her cos of her stress lately" Priyanka replied.
"Fair enough, we'll send her pictures" Karen said.
"Yeah!" Sunny chirped.
"Any kdrama recommendation?" Britney asked.
"A lot! I picked King The Land for us tonight!" Karen winked.
"Don't tell me Karen successfully dragged you into her kdrama shit. What happened to Indian dramas?" Priyanka retorted.
"Is that jealousy?" Karen narrowed her eyes.
"Duhh" Priyanka rolled eyes, and they bursted out laughing.
They moved to Karen's room to change into their pyjamas, then they came to the kitchen to make snacks.
Immediately they entered, the doorbell rang, and Karen rushed out to check.
She got another shock when she met Jordan, and her eyes widened.
"Oh my gawd!" She gushed, hugging him before she knew it.
She never knew how much she missed him till now....it's been a while since they met face to face like this.
She came back to her senses and made to break the hug, but he hugged her too, making that impossible.
"You smell nice" he said, caressing her neck.
"You too, and...."
"And what?" He asked, breaking the hug to look at her eyes.
"And...good" she said shyly, and he chuckled, hugging her again.
The girls hid behind, watching them and obviously blushing on Karen's behalf.
*
ROYAL PRIDE HOSPITAL*
Hardin's eyes opened again at exactly 9pm, and as expected, Aurora is beside him. She didn't sleep nor go back to the castle.
"Mother dearest? It won't end well if you're sleep-deprived" he groaned.
"I could watch you for months without blinking honey. How're you feeling?" She smiled.
"Better, and I'm getting discharged unfailingly tommorow" he replied.
"But...
"Oy..no buts" he cut her off, and she stroked his hair fondly.
"Killian's emotions are coming back, but obviously he's in denial, and I'm sure you know the girl" he said.
"Doesn't he hate her cos of the part she played in your attack?" she replied.
"He doesn't, f+cker only wants to use that to mask up how he feels, but we can actually do something if I see Zinn right now" he said.
"Now?"
"Yeah, now" he replied.
*
ZINNIA'S PLACE*
The feeling that there's someone inside the room with her made Zinnia's eyes open suddenly.
"Cameo!" She gasped, expecting to meet him, but she met Vivian instead.
"Aunt Vivian" she gulped, calming down.
"Gabriel called to say you're sick, and I had to rush over, and also, I heard about your expell not long ago. You don't have to worry, I'll make sure I get you back into the school" Vivian stroked her hair.
She wasn't able to reply before her phone rang, it's a new number.
"Who's...this?" She picked.
"Your school dad!" The playful voice came, and she gasped.
"Hardin? Thank gawd! I'm so happy!" She stood from the bed quickly.
"Can we talk? A car is waiting outside your house right now, it'd bring you to the hospital" he replied.
"Now? Oh...great! I'll be there!" She quickly rushed out of the room.
"Zinn!" Vivian went after her, but she already got in the waiting car in front of the house.
The car drove off, and Vivian sighed, getting a text on her phone from a number saved as Bruno.
Bruno: She's awake!
She gasped and entered her car, driving off too.
*
10:30PM, ALPHAS MANSION*
Zinnia drove in in Hardin's car, so the gate was opened for her.
She pulled up at the garage and came down with tears in her eyes.
She had a long talk with Hardin in the hospital, and she's here because of that, unable to keep her tears at bay.
She entered the house and met Butler Finn in the living room.
"Miss Zinnia? Thank gawd you're here! I dunno what's happening, master Killian has been hurting himself and he ordered me not to call anyone" he said, and she quickly followed him upstairs.
She could already hear the crashes coming from the bathroom, and when they entered, her eyes popped at the scene.
Killian is in front of the mirror, punching the glass like he does.
It's already in pieces on the ground already, and his blood is forming rivulets down the wall and spreading on the ground, but he still didn't stop.
Gabriel's words about him being in love with Zinni is pretty messing with his head, and he needs to gain control of himself.
He made to slam his fist again...
"Stop it!!" She Screamed, and he halted to face her
Finn left the room immediately.
"Zinnia" her name fell from his lips, and she almost crumbled.
"Why didn't you tell me about what you did to Tyson and his friends?" She questioned, and his bloody fist went down
"Why didn't you tell me what you did to the gangsters who kidnapped me? You did all of that for me and tonight you killed a man who tried to grope me too! You...
"They all mean nothing" he interrupted icily.
"Then why did you treat my wounds, gave me medication and carried me home! You put me to bed too and you even dropped me flowers! Why are you messing with my head and heart? How exactly do you feel about me and why the hell is it so hard to open your rocky heart? Why won't you just let me in!!!" She yelled in tears
"Leave" he muttered, but she started coming closer.
"Fúcking get away!" He yelled, and she took a step back.
She sniffled and rushed out of the room, running down the stairs as fast as possible.
"Stop! Don't leave!" Killian's commanding voice came as he rushed after her.
She didn't stop till she got downstairs and started going for the door.
"Zinnia!" He shouted, and she looked back swiftly to see him behind already.
"You don't know what you want, and i can't continue playing with fire and get my heart hurt! People are right about you, you're heartless, and I regret ever feeling anything for you" she muttered, and sharp breaths escaped her nostrils afterwards.
Killian's eyes looks hurt for a minute, and before it'd turn blank, she swirled around and started walking out of the house.
One...
Two...
Three!
At the third step, Killian pulled her back by the arm, his second hand going to the back of her neck to reel her in sharply, closing the space between them within an heartbeat.
Their lips pressed intimately on each other, and Zinnia raised her legs from the ground, wrapping them on his waist tightly as they began kissing in an insane sync.
Feasting, eating, munching and devouring each other's faces as their heads moved left and right, their tongues rolling and dancing in unison.
"I missed you" she whispered into his mouth, fisting his hair as he shoved his tongue down her tiny throat.
*His heart raced sporadically, and he kissed her harder...
Deeper
Rougher
And faster.
"I can't live without you... I swear, Zinnia" he whispered back into her mouth, and she moaned so good.
TBC.
