After showering, I had just slipped on one of Tobias’s shirts when I hear a phone ring. He walked over to where it was laying on charge next to the bed, picking it and answering it, it looked like a sat phone. “What?” His voice angry. Theo walks out, clearly listening to the whoever is speaking on the other end. Tobias abruptly hangs the phone up, not even saying goodbye.

  “I can go,” Theo says. I stare confused. Tobias shakes his head. The phone call clearly angered him.

  “No, I will. You watch Imogen,” he says, going into the walk-in robe and coming out with a suit.

  “Where are you going?” I ask, although I already think I know he has been called into work.

  “Work, now stay with Theo and behave.” I shake my head.

  “I am not a child Tobias don’t speak to me like that,” I argue. He raises an eyebrow at me clearly angered by my attitude.

  “Can we come please; I just want to grab a few things.”

  “No, you don’t leave here, Imogen.”

  “Why? You make no sense. I can’t just rot here, Tobias,” I argue back. Tobias hands clenched and unclenched. The veins in his arms bulging. He ignored me, putting his shirt on, I move towards him and he grips my hands, before letting them go. I start buttoning up his shirt.

  “Please, I will stay with Theo I promise.”

  “No! I am sick of this argument. You’re not leaving, Imogen, so stop asking.”

  Theo moves closer behind me, placing his hands on my shoulders. “I will watch her. She will be fine, Tobias, then I will bring her back here,” Theo said calmly.

  Tobias shoved him, knocking me to the ground. Theo’s eyes blazed red with anger as he shoved Tobias back. I see Tobias skin start to ripple; I knew he was about to shift. Tobias grabbed Theo’s shirt, yanking him forward, his eyes completely black. I jumped to my feet frightened. I didn’t want him to hurt Theo, I grabbed Tobias hand, which was clutching Theo. He let go of Theo, throwing him to the ground, before turning on me and grabbing my neck. I clutched at his hand, but he squeezed tighter. His anger completely engulfing him.

  I claw at his hands, my nails scratching his skin. I can feel my face changing colour, then something snaps in him and he realises he has grabbed me just as Theo tackles him. His grip gone from my neck, I fall to the floor and start coughing, choking for air.

  Theo and Tobias are on the ground fighting. I crawl onto my hands and knees. Trying to breath, my windpipe feels like it has been crushed in a vice. I can still feel where his fingers gripped me. Tobias coming to his senses gasps, making me look at him. His horrified expression at seeing me on the floor turns to panic. He moves to me in an instant, but I swat his hands away. Theo looks relieved as he comes closer, standing behind Tobias who is on the floor next to me. Tobias moves his hand to my cheek.

I let go of his hand before walking into the closet to find some pants. Theo followed closely behind me and passed me a pair when I couldn’t find any. “Don’t be upset, he feels guilty enough. He is just on
