#31 UNABLE TO STAY, UNWILLING TO LEAVE

  She went to the stairs and felt Sebastian’s eyes on her. She tried to walk as usually and even managed to. Then she fell into Julian's arms. She didn't realize how fast he was and how he did manage to catch her. She was very tired and wounded. Her energy level was too low. She didn't even notice when she stumbled. It already was an unbelievable achievement to get here and to behave as if she was OK. However, she wasn't able to go back home tonight and she thought it would be easier to stay there, at Sebastian’s party, than to return to the apartment where she used to live. She didn't intend to go back and already thought about staying outside in a park or somewhere else for the whole night, but not in her apartment.

  Julian held her in his arms and carried her to his car. He wished he hadn't had this car and that it would be allowed to bring her to his home just like this. He was quick and strong enough. For him she was lighter than a feather and it wasn't an effort to carry her in his arms.

  It was a rainy night and it wasn't allowed to break the rules. Therefore, he helped her to sit down in his car. As she was already sitting there, he forgot himself and went quicker than allowed to take a seat.

  She noticed his extraordinary speed but she didn't say anything.

  The whole time he tried to read her mind, but it was impossible. Mia didn't say a word, she didn't look at him, and she was just sitting there. She breathed flatly. She was very tired. He already recognized it when he saw her tonight. She was almost a shadow of herself compared to the day they met. He didn't ask anything, although he had many questions to ask. How did she come to her other name? What happened in Wroclaw? Where did she hide all the time? He already knew she was running with Sebastian for two or even three weeks and she was working for him. She did some translations. She was a high-school girl and she didn't talk much. That summarised it up more or less, that was everything he knew about her from Sebastian. It was too few information to be able to make a picture of her personality. He knew he had some feelings for her and he knew Sebastian had some feelings for her. It was so scary! He never had a girlfriend before and when he saw her for the first time, he knew she was the one. He never heard that something like this had happened in his “family”. Definitely, she was special. She was a human being with own thoughts which he couldn't read. She could notice more than an average human being and she was wounded and took it with grace.

  If Julian could only read her mind, he would see who has done this to her and then he could revenge. If he only knew who she was and what person she was, it would be easier to start a conversation with her but she carried some kind of aura that didn't allow him to treat her normally. Alternatively, maybe it was just the fact that he had a crush on her and wasn't sure how to deal with it.

  He looked at her. She apparently had fever. Her forehead showed sweat drops and she was breathing fatly. She had problems to breathe in. She was still adorable. In addition, he found her or rather she found him. Just like the first time.

  He was driving without saying a word and they went down the main streets. Mia noticed they left town but hadn't enough strength to ask where they were going. She felt weak and somewhat safe at his side. She allowed herself to be weak during the ride. It was a moment of rest. She had to safe her power for later. She had to use it carefully.

  Julian was watching her and she noticed it as well. It was warm in his car. If she wouldn't be wounded, she would speak with him, but now she was too weak for this. She let herself fall. She used up all of her power at Sebastian’s birthday party. He was happy and this was what she wanted. She promised him to be there, but she couldn't foresee how her situation would change this afternoon.
