Liz is a storm Chapter 30:

Liz POV:

My card being used to pay for the room was all the proof the overworked hotel staff needed to get me a 'replacement' keycard.

I'm sure Seb had questions, but I had no time for them, my girl was in trouble and... 'my girl?'

Not Alice's, not Seb's, not a pet, toy, or a project, not even the friend she had become anymore. MINE.

'Well if none of these other fuckers can't keep themselves from breaking her, then I might as well keep her, I helped make her after all. '

But first we had to get her out of this fucking place.

Alittle beep and we are through the door, in the room with a sleeping Alice and a monument to her sin, bound in a forced kneeling position dispite being unconscious.

Limp against the bonds, an involuntary jerk or shake the only signs of movement.

"Seb, get her out of that, right fucking now, cover her and get to the car, I need a sec."

He didn't hesitate thankfully, 'Good boy,'

I turned to Alice, the noise must have woke her up, eyes were opened and a half formed confused question on her lips when my hand found its way to cutting her off.

" Listen, and listen close you ungrateful bitch, I should have your ass for this, but I know how your brain works, instead I'll leave you with this," holding a USB key, with a file No one knew I had made on Kris, "because I know the way you'll torture yourself over this afterwards will do more than I ever could. There are somethings even Kris, even in this state, would never tell you."

With that I set it down and turn to walk away, noticing Seb done and heading to the door, having taken off the worst parts and covering the rest with a blanket, before scooping Kris up.

I was happy to leave things in the hotel room like that, least I loose my temper and have to deal with my new found possessiveness and Alice's disregard of every safety and kink rule I had taught her.

But Alice had to have the last word, "Where the fuck do you get off, you betrayed me to help that little shit and now you give me shit for how I play with the toy you clearly wanted me to find and claim?!"

I turn a cutting glare at her and say something I hope shuts her up, "Yes I'll give you shit, because I fucking hoped you knew better than to act this way, I'll give you shit because I remember the woman you were when we met, and I'll give you shit for breaking MY girl, the same one that told me story after story of how awesome you are and how much they miss you, not for a relationship but your friendship!"

"Friendship, as freaking if, you know how many times,-"

"Yes you unobservent brat, did 'Chris' the guy ever show a sex drive or interest before? No! You should know that better than me, the dumb fuck just bought into the BS that small town of yours perpetuates! He thought the only way you two could still be friends was if you dated, and that he just must be missing something!"

" A brain-"

" None of that smart shit out of you, I am up to here with you, don't push me, open the fucking drive, I'm out. " God I needed out of here, I don't know if she heard me mumble under my breath, nor do I care, "Christ you were just supposed to bump into each other and talk or some shit, not fry her, girl didn't even know you would be here." Slam* I did want her to hear the slam, hard to do with new hotel doors but you can manage if you're angry enough.

Kris Pov:

I was moving, it was the first thing I noticed before I even realized I was awake.

It took longer than healthy to realize the vibe and zaps were gone, the shakes and shivers not so much.

I didn't bother opening my eyes, assuming Alice was just moving me somewhere to keep 'playing', she alluded to as much during my 'confession'.

It wasn't until a rough hand touched my face to tuck some hair behind my ear, that I noticed the hood was gone.

The sharp inhale at that knowledge told me who it was before I opened my eyes,' no, it can't-'

It was, Master Sebastian - no, just Seb, I lost that right a while ago, had me in his arms and looking at me with concern, while the car we were in was moving.

We were in the back seat of Liz's car, she must be driving. They came for me? Did Alice call them after my begging? Did she want them to fix her new toy so she could break me again?

I was too scared of the answers and hadn't the agency left in me to do anything about it one way or another.

I would enjoy this moment while it lasted, remember his smell, what we used to do for each other, and the tingle in my spine, before whatever favor he was returning is done and he leaves me again.

I curl into his arms further, inhale, and stain his shirt with tears as another trimmer hits before I pass out, his hands running through my hair the way he knows I like.

It would be torture to try and forget how this feels again or pretend I didn't crave it.

Liz knew I missed him, but didn't seem to care about how pathetic I was over the 'break up', or anything else for that matter, when she held me at night nothing else mattered and that meant more than I could ever say.

The next time I woke up I was in Liz's arms, wrapped in my favorite cover.

Smell of Seb gone like I knew it would be, replaced by Liz and the calm that it brought me now.

For now I was safe, whatever plan they had, in this moment Liz had me, and I knew I was safe.

Liz Pov:

Seb and Sarah left Only after I promised to keep them updated, let them help if I thought they were able, and to bring them over at some point when Kris was better to try and repair some bridges.

I shut down the house and curled up with her after I had cleaned and treated her.

I would keep her safe, she would heal, she was resilient like that.

No matter what it took or how long.

She was mine now, I wouldn't let these bastards hurt her again.

They all claimed to care about her in one way or another, but would fucking break her when left to their own devices.

Fucking Alice, for real, learns everything Kris has changed, traded, to become 'better', at first for Alice then for herself, but only sees an outlet, a toy, a favorite soon to be broken and used or discarded based on whims after the fact.

Goddamn Seb, unforgiving and harsh in a way only someone Kris truly loved could be.

Sarah, selfish vendictive brat.

Sadly I knew at some point I would have to reintroduce them to Kris.

She would want to fix things when she knows Seb or Sarah is sorry, and would probably let Alice start that torture all over again if given half the chance.

I would place good money on Kris not even realizing she has good reason to be pissed, even at me.

I should have left my phone on incase she needed me, but I 'knew' it would be OK, that she had healed so much, that she should be able to enjoy a weekend with her hobbies and maybe even bump into an old friend.

Instead when she needed me the most, I was 'busy' getting caught up on work.

Like work was more important than her, my money situation was fine, I was doing more and more stuff for my side hustle anyways and making more from it.

I would move heaven and earth to make this right, to help her, fix her, and God help anyone dumb enough to get in my way.

"It'll be ok baby, I'm here now, I won't let anyone ever hurt you again pet." kiss
