Adventurous scenes in movies came off fast paced. It was the demeaning silence first, then the action packed scenes followed behind, where the villan chased the innocent people. That was what happened when my respiratory system almost collapsed from the amount of steps I took to escape that pungent guy.

I could hear the police officers talking to each other, I wasted zero time when I put more effort into my legs and he was still behind. He was oblivious that there were officers up there, so I bashed open the exit door and he thought he won by placing his arms around me only for the officers to manhandle him away from me.

I gave him a pervasive smirk, and he frowned deeply at me. "You fucking prick, you thought you could get me?" I taunted, as he tried to push the three officers that wrapped the ties around his wrist.

My body had aches everywhere; I tried to steady my breathing, but I just ended up like a panting dog. The cold sweat reeked off of me and I was desperate for a shower.

Reign and Lowe were walking back to the room, unaware of the police officers that investigated Ivan's room.

"Naya, what the hell?" Lowe was the first to notice me, and they rushed to my rescue.

"Wow, that was a workout." I commented breathlessly with sweat dripping down from my forehead.

"What happened to you?" Reign asked.

"Ivan...he got to me...talk l-later." He seemed to go through what I meant when I huffed out the words, my wind pipe seemed non-existent as my throat constricted with the cold air.

Reign carried me back to the room and positioned me on my bed, Lowe aided him by taking off my boots as the pulse on my back increased. The faded sounds in my ears made my eyes flutter as my body shivered.

"Quick, warm the water." I could hear the faints of Lowe's voice tremble over to Reign.

I felt like I was on a high. I did take on thirty stairs in less than five minutes.

•••

The vapor that steamed through the waters made my skin relaxed and my muscles loose. My head was rested against the edge of the tub as my legs slackened against the white porcelain, I felt better than before.

I took a deep breath and got my head down the steamy water to compose my mind over the flipping situation. I hadn't seen what Ivan was like, but I could never imagine him doing something as vile as that.

It just didn't match his looks. Looks really could be deceiving.

My heartbeat was stable and I felt like I was in my own circle. The musky scent made me realize that Reign placed a sheer bath bomb. Those guys would end me with their sweetness.

After an hour long relaxation and a fresh set of my deep green training suit with my dried hair tied up, I wanted to open the door, but I clogged in place when I heard them talk.

"Why isn't Lucas replying to me?" Reign whined, as the sounds of dialling continued.

I bit on my molars as my head nestled on the door.

"Maybe he's busy with his family." They dropped the subject when I walked into the room.

Lucas got the message loud and clear. It was a good thing that he directed his accusations to Ivan.

Less eyes were on me. I was reassured.

"Glowing Naya is my favorite version of Naya." Lowe teased, and I bumped my shoulder on the side of his upper arm jokingly.

"Thanks guys, I wouldn't know what I would do with you both." We had a group hug and a couple of laughs about evil Ivan. But I felt grateful that I had good roomies.

As hours passed by, Lowe and Reign informed me that they were going for a date, and I cheered like a fangirl for them to go, dismissing the hesitance in Reign's eyes.

"Does this look nice?" He asked, as he gave me a twirl.

He was unbelievably handsome with navy knit cardigan over a white shirt,  his hair slicked back with gel showing his chiseled face. His indigo eyes sparkled with romance over Lowe.

"You look amazing, have fun." I encouraged with my sided smile. He came over to me and hugged me before he walked out to his date.

I had to study for the Algebra quiz, as soon as I raised the laptop to my lap, a bang was heard and I had to push my legs from under the covers to see what happened.

Lucas was holding someone in a chokehold, the rage filled his body like a body shield. The rooms unsealed to see the abrupt intervention.

He wasn't aware of his surroundings, the guy seemed frightened to death to the point where he couldn't meet Lucas's eyes.

"You say one fucking word about her, I will rip your head off and I would enjoy it. Don't even think about reporting me to anyone, because I will get away with it and you won't." He banged the guy's back against the wall over and over.

I had to do something for the poor boy. As the crowds just continued to take in the show, I stepped up and took Lucas by the back of his shirt.

"Let him go, Lucas." It was merely four words from me, it was enough for him to soften his hold, the startled guy pushed Lucas off and ran through the hallway for his life.

His eyes were dark oceans, this time it was forwarded into mine as he grabbed my upper arm. It was still bruised, I tried my best not to show the wince on my features, but Lucas saw it.

He rolled off the sleeve of the jacket up to see the purplish green bruise staring at him.

"Who did this to you?" He inspected the bruise, the crowds slowly going back to their rooms.

"Ivan. He wanted to kidnap me."

Lucas let me go and stormed off in a flash.
