Sinful Mates 1-3 novel Chapter 63

　　I kept running, bumping into people in my haste to get away from the nightmare that was becoming my life, only stopping when I ran into Percy at the doors leading into this place.

　　Percy looked up at me a red liquorice strap hanging from his lips as he chewed on it with his pointy teeth. He pulled the strap from his mouth startled.

　　“Imogen, what’s wrong?”

　　“I need to leave. Let me out, please.” He looked around me, noticing Theo and Tobias weren’t with me he scratched his bald head nervously.

　　“I don’t think I should. Where are your mates?” he asked.

　　“Either open it or I will.”

　　“That’s not possible. Only supernaturals can open this door once inside, I am sorry Imogen I can’t let you leave without your mates” I could tell he genuinely felt bad for not being able to let me out, to escape this suffocating place. Panic seizing every atom in my body, my heart hammering in my chest so hard, I was afraid It was going to bounce right out of my chest. I clutched my chest trying to calm myself, I hadn’t had a panic attack in ages. I sucked in breath trying to get much needed air. I closed my eyes trying to ground myself as adrenaline starting pumping through my veins, the familiar fight or flight kicking in. Percy touched my shoulder.

　　“Are you okay, Love?” he asked worriedly.

　　“Your mates should be here soon. I am sure they wouldn’t leave you for too long. That I am certain of.” He spoke softly.

　　“My mates are the fucking problem I want to escape from” I screamed anger taking over. I was so done with the lies, done with them getting there way. I shoved past Percy and walked to the doors.

　　“Open it now” I demanded. Percy took a step back. I did feel guilty for yelling at him, but I just needed out of this place, needed to get away from them. Percy shook his head.

　　“I am sorry Imogen; I can’t do that,” he said looking back towards the door nervously that lead to the quadrangle. I looked up and people were stopped looking in at me, there curious faces watching me argue with the elf. I turned my back on them before hitting the door with my fist.

　　“Imogen, I wouldn’t do that, you could hurt yourself, there are wards all around the place, you are human it could have a negative impact on you,” he tried to warn me. I didn’t care just wanting out, I pushed on the doors with both hands and to my shock and the shock of everyone else watching. The doors flew open, banging loudly on the sandstone of the building. I looked at my hands shocked with how hard, I must have been pushing them for it to fly open like that.

　　“How, I don’t understand, how did you do that?”

　　“Beats me but I’m out of here,” I said, walking out the doors and heading towards the car, I could see on the other side of the shiny veil, how hadn’t I noticed it before. I could see it glimmering slightly.

　　“Imogen you must wait,” I heard Percy call out to me. I ignored the strange elf and walked through feeling the weird suction sensation and the loud ringing in my ears, as I was sucked out through the strange portal into the real world. My world. I walked to the edge of the road looking in both directions. I had no idea how to get home, I didn’t even pay attention on the drive here. I was unfamiliar with area. I only knew the direction in which we pulled up. I walked over to the car. Pulling on the handle I was shocked to find it unlocked.

　　I jumped in the driver’s seat and smiled when I see the keys dangling from the ignition. I started Tobias’s car. I put the car in reverse before stomping on the gas, reversing out and hitting the tree next to the gate, not used to the speed. I fell forward only just catching myself before my face smacked on the steering wheel. I quickly clipped my seat belt in. My heart hammering in my chest, then I laughed. Tobias and Theo both loved their cars. Woops I thought knowing that would have left some serious damage to the back of the car.

　　I turned the car around and pulled out hitting the gas, as the car jerked forward at speeds that would normally petrify me, going over a dip in the road the car bottoming out, as I headed for what I hoped was the City. I couldn’t help the sadistic laugh when I heard the front bar of the car come off from the force of the front hitting the cattle grid I ran over, leaving the bumper and ripping the grill off. They were going to kill me. I thought before putting my foot down again. After driving for a few minutes, I seen a sign saying the City was thirty kms away. I slowed for the bend before jamming the brakes on as Theo stood in the middle of the road and an enraged look on his face.
