NADIA
“Nadia! You can come out of the closet. We have the all clear,” Sebastian stated.
I opened the door and stepped out.
He embraced me. “Are you ok?”
“Yes, thanks for protecting me.”
He stepped back. “It was a team effort.” Sebastian smiled.
“Where’s Aiden?”
His smile dropped. “Valen went into the woods to find him. He was hurt. I don’t know how bad.”
My hand flew over my mouth. Tears filled my eyes. “No. I have to see him.”
Sebastian extended his hands. “Wait! There are two dead men in the living room.”
“I’m not afraid.”
“Have a seat. Let me find out what is happening.” He hit his ear piece. “Valen, how is Aiden?”
“I won’t know until I get him inside. I need your help.”
“On my way.” He nodded his head to the side, instructing me to follow him.
He slipped his rifle over his head, leaning it against the door frame.
“Nadia, please hold the front door open. I need to help Valen carry Aiden. I’ll be right back.”
Sebastian ran into the woods. I scanned the property. Trucks were flipped over up the road. Dead bodies were scattered over the grounds.
“Nadia, please step aside,” Valen said.
I blinked twice, trying to wrap my mind around the all-out war that occurred while I was in the closet.
Holding the door open wide, my eyes bulged.
“Aiden!” I cried.
Blood trailed down the steps. His eyes opened and closed. “Nadia.” I ran my hand over his dirty, bloody face.
“Baby.” I couldn’t stop the tears from flowing.
“We have to get him inside, Nadia,” Sebastian stated.
I nodded and stepped back then followed them into the bedroom.
Sebastian ripped Aiden’s pants leg. Valen ran into the kitchen, returning with the first aid kit.
Sebastian glanced at me. “Nadia, we need several dry and cold wet towels.”
“Ok.”
I retrieved the towels.
“Place a cold compress on his neck and forehead.”
