Falling for a Lycan

Take Me Down

(Aki)

The night deepens and I am still with Yuki here at the hospital. He was too shock that even if hours already passed since that incident, he is still staring blankly and his hands were trembling in fear and worried. I do not know how to ease his emotions so I am just sitting by his side and not saying anything. There are still police outside the room and his parents were already alerted about the incident. I hate to say this but I already expect my dad would give me a good scolding, like how I did taint their reputation and why am I there like a fool- I am used to it.

We are just waiting for our parents and Yuki's lawyer to arrive. Yes, they already got him a lawyer and I think that is a great idea. Yuki was just framed and he needs law support to be cleared of all charges. I looked around and I saw a familiar face walked passed from Yuki's room- It was Nicholas. I looked on Yuki and he was lying down on the bed tucked under the blanket, so I decided to went out a chase Nicholas.

"Nicholas!" I yelled and he keeps on ignoring me.

"Hey!" I yelled once again and run much quicker to chase his pacing, until we both arrived at the staircases.

"What are you doing there?" I was surprised that he quickly looked back on me like he was waiting for me to approach him.

"What do you mean?" I asked and he looked around, from the stairs that leads towards the lower floor and at the same time to the stairs leading to the upper floor.

"In the Warehouse. What are you doing there?' he asked once again and I looked on me, confused.

"Am I not suppose to be there? Are you the one behind this incident?" I argued to him and he started walking back and forth like he was so frustrated by it.

"I am not the one who did that, and that place was off limits." he answered to me.

"That is what Scarlette told me too." I mumbled and he paused.

"Do you know Scarlette?" he exclaimed and I nodded.

"Listen, you might be having doubts to my words but trust me, I did not do any of this." he said to me like he was desperate to have someone to trust and believe his words.

"I do not know if I could trust you, Nicholas." I answered.

"Just trust me. I will tell you everything when time comes." he said and dash off. I was speechlessly left alone in this place and I got no concrete or any sensible answer coming from him.

I went out from the door and found myself back on the floor where I came from. I stride towards Yuki's room and entered.

"Yuki, are you alright?" I asked to him and approached the bed. I touched him but instead of his body, a huge cushion of pillow is what I felt under. I quickly removed the blanket and uncovered everything. Yuki is not here!

I run towards the bathroom and checked if he was just there relieving himself, but he is not here. I run outside the ward, looking him to all hallways on this floor and even to the staircases but he is nowhere to be found.

"Nurse, have you seen the patient in room 404? That room where police was guarding." I said to the nurse at the nurses' station and she shook her head for an answer.

"He is missing." I said and she started to alert her co-nurses as they started to walk towards the room.

I also tried calling his phone, but I hear it ringing when I entered back in the room with the nurse.

I got an idea and I know that this might not be a good one. I went out from the hospital, called myself a taxi cab and ride towards a huge building. I let out a deep sigh before entering it and I felt nervous as I get in the elevator, pressed the floor number and arrived in seconds. I am now in front of a door, the hallways are quiet as it was already late night and only people who were working all night is here. I knocked on the door, a stern voice answered me and I entered nonetheless despite of my lips drying.

"Dad." I called him and he slowly looked on me.

"I know you said that you will go to the hospital after your work, but I cannot wait anymore." I said to him as he did not respond anything to my presence.

"Then why are you here?" he asked and he put down his pen just to cross his arms.

"Yuki is missing and I do not know where he is." I answered and he only stare for the time that keep on passing by.

"Are you sure that his parents do not took him or anything?" he asked and I shook his head.

"He forgot his phone, the room was fixed to be seen like Yuki was still there. Nurses also do not know where he is." I explained.

"You should try calling his parents." he said to me and I know in myself that he is not there, so I did not move.

Instead, he grabbed his phone and dialed someone.

"Hey Rick! My son is here and very worried on Yuki, is he there?" my dad exclaimed and he keeps in glancing over me.

"Really? Aki did not know that Yuki left the hospital and he is panicking right now." he continued and burst out laughing like he is very happy humiliating his own son.

"Yuki is home." he plainly said to me when his phone call went ended.

"Really? Did you talk to him?" I asked and he let out a deep sigh.

"Do you think who between us should talk to him?" he sarcastically questioned me back and I nodded.

"Alright, I will go to their house. I will come back tomorrow." I said to him and leave the room.

My energy and soul left my body when I knew that Yuki was in a safe place. I probably should not be paranoid and just believe that Yuki would be alright tonight. I went out from the building and began walking down from the huge staircase in front of the building, and I saw a familiar person standing at the end of it. I wanted to ignore that person but I noticed that he is following me until we both arrived at the side road.

"What do you want?" I coldly asked him when I looked back and he stopped walking towards me.

"Yuki." he coldly said too.

"What?" I exclaimed and his gazes are too cold that I feel shiver down to my spine.

"Where is he?" he asked to me and I shook my head.

"I will not tell you where he is." I firmly answered and he quickly moved close to me that I did not saw his moves at all.

"Tell me or you will regret it." he threatened me and I chuckles.

"Take me down first but you will not see Yuki that easy." I answered back and he smirked.

"Nicholas is great on choosing you to be the Beta." he said and I was confused on what is he saying to me.

"Are you insane? I will not join Nicholas' fraternity." I answered to him and he chuckles.

"I am not asking for your permission, Aki." he answered and I glare on him.

"I think I should know your name when you already knew mine." I said to him and he grinned.

"I am Lynn, the messenger." he introduced himself and I cannot help myself but to laugh.

"Messenger? That look great on you." I answered while still a bit laughing.

"Your insults would not affect me. Just stop being stupid." he coldly said and I quickly stopped laughing.

"What did you say?" I exclaimed to him.

"Join Nicholas, Yuki is in trouble." he finally said before leaving. I did not have the chance to ask him back when I already saw him walking meters away from me. Did he already started walking or he just walk that fast compared to a normal human?

I decided to go back to the hospital. Lily is not dead, when the paramedics came, they brought her heartbeat back but it was too slow and weak so she is still in machines the moment she arrived at the hospital. After her surgery, she was lying in the ICU and her parents already here when she got her surgery. I am afraid, to be honest. I do not know what should I say to her parents, I did not ask them to come with me in this new elite school but they voluntarily followed me here- it just feels like they were my responsibility because of it.

I was about to call a taxi cab when I felt my phone vibrated. I looked on it and realized that it is not mine. I touched my pockets and my jacket and realized that I got Yuki's phone so I looked through it and there is a message.

"Kill her, if you cannot take me down." I said as I read the message.

Who is the person referring to the 'her' here? Is she Lily? Did Yuki really made that to her?

I looked at the number where the message came from and it was a blocked one, then another message arrived.

"Kill her, Aki. Or else, she will take me down."
