Chapter 101 - Black Cloud

Section Six

Lorna's residence

The showers on automatically, down on the bathtub, the blood washes down the drain. Lorna washes her hair, face, and body, her eyes closed the whole time.

A few minutes later she was done, walking out of her room wearing loose pants and a sweater, her hair still damp with water. She walks towards the living room, Jesse was present watching a show from the tv, noticing Lorna's present her attention drift as she sat up on the couch.

"Hey," she said sounding as cheerful as she can, but Lorna just sat next to her pulling her knees to her chest.

"How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine" her answer was short and simple.

"You have been through a lot with the drug king and everything, I couldn't imagine what you went through inside that room with those Claws and then the black ghoul attacking, to be in the middle of that is not something to recover from," Jesse said placing a hand on her shoulder.

Once again, Lorna gave a false statement, her being kidnapped by Cain and sent to the drug king in a room of Claws and then the black ghoul attacking everyone in a bloody bath, the drug king escaping, and she too, frightened to the core.

Lorna just nods at her words unable to say anything.

"Lorna," Jesse said with shaky eyes, worried for her sake, she was confused, worried, and scared from her sake, or did something more happened? She couldn't pinpoint it, but right now on Lorna's expression wasn't written sacred of what happened to her in the room, it was more of pain, sadness, longing, and worry but for what and whom?

Jesse sighed practically frustrated Lorna was still acting like a helpless little girl who couldn't even stand for herself, but she couldn't blame her at this rate.

"Are you hungry? Need me to prepare anything for you?" Jesse asked with a smiley face.

"I'm not hungry"

Jesse sighs.

"Want me to stay? Because you don't look so good" Jesse offers.

Lorna faces Jesse, her cheeks wet with tears.

"You can go, Jess, I don't wanna burden you more than I already have," She said facing forward.

"Lorna you're not burdening me, I'm worried about your well being, so don't think like that"

"I wanna be alone".

Jesse froze at her words but just nods in understanding. 

"Okay but if you need anything just let me know," she said rising to her feet grabbing her jacket as she left.

She stops for a brief second turning to face Lorna who just sat immobile, she sighs walking out, shutting the door.

The tears stream down her cheeks as she cried.

"Liam" she sobs feeling lost like she was drowning, all the questions flying through her head, was he okay? Was he dead? Did the wound finally heal? Because she knew a ghoul's weakness was their heart and Liam had a hole in his chest, there was no possible way he could survive that, no ghoul has.

One Week Later 

*Slight Knocking Sound*

Lorna groans, hearing the knock for the 5th time, but she had no urge of opening it. Her head was seriously pounding and her body felt heavy and worse her heart hurt, yes it isn't just her chest but her heart itself.

*Slight Knocking Sound*

Lorna groans once more using the blanket to cover her head to get some peace, she was shivering and her body ached like she just ran a marathon, she needed rest, she had no will to get off this bed. 

*Slight Knocking Sound*

'Ugh for the love of God just away' she thought groaning, she needed time to heal just like she told her agency, one week of peace wasn't exactly peace at all, either Jesse visit or Peter or Chase or her Aunt, it was annoying, for three days afterward she had peace and now they were back again to torture her with questions of how are you feeling? She was sick and tired of hearing that particular words, she wanted them to LEAVE HER THE FUCK ALONE!.

*Slight Knocking Sound*

"Ugh" Lorna growls sitting up, the covers dropping off her body, her body ached but she ignored the feeling, forcing her body off the bed.

Chase was the only one who had the habit of knocking thousand of times if she didn't answer the door, he was persistent and also quite caring more to Lorna's surprise, she could really need his comfort but not together, she didn't feel so good, she needs to be ALONE!.

She opens the door.

"Chase I told everyone to leave me alone including you, so please just go away" she groans rubbing her eyes.

"Who the fuck is Chase?".

She heard a deep rough voice, wait a sec Chase didn't have a deep rough voice. 

In realization she shot her head up and met with chocolate dull eyes, she froze right on spot unable to believe who was standing right in front of her, her eyes widen, it was Liam, he was here and he has been the one knocking for 30 minutes now.

There he was standing tall as he always has been but he looks paled but still handsome, those bits of his hair falling from his hood on his forehead, those thick eyebrows of his, those eyes and those lips she loved to ravish.

"I asked a question" He growled with clenched teeth, he was pissed off at her calling another man's name, oh how she missed his protectiveness and possessiveness.

Unable to contain herself, she launches at him, wrapping her legs around his waist and smashing her lips on his with longing, the tears streaming down her as she kissed him with all the strength she could muster.

She heard a growl rumble from his chest, of him and Ghost and it pleased her.

She heard the door shutting and then the automatic locking sound, she didn't even know when he moved but she didn't care as she continued to claim his lips as hers.

Liam's hands roaming her back but he didn't kiss back, he just let her have her way with him, she was dominating but as much as he wanted her right now and there he had something more important to worry about, her body, her looks, she was deprecating, bags under her eyes, she was beyond pale and her temperature was off the charts.

He broke the kiss, letting her down, before he could say anything, her eyes rolls at the back of her neck as gravity left her body but he caught her before she reaches the ground. 

"Fuck! Lorna!"
