“you're right. I don't know what it is." Vinx said.“Me too."I wish I had just slept through their conversation, I was more confused than I was the day I was born.The door opened and it almost smacked me right in the face but I brought my hands up and shielded my face, it didn't hurt any less.I moved back to let them pass, I was naked but they didn't seem to notice, they were staring at me with shock and surprise. I decided to go with it, but I didn't have any lines yet, they better speak up first.“I heard everything." I lied.The silence in the room was thick like frozen butter. All the colour was washed from their faces and I was worried, seriously worried.“I didn't hear anything you guys. Fuck, the both of you looked like you were trying to decide how to kill me to keep your bloody secret unknown."“You're serious, you didn't hear anything?." Kalum asked and Vinx deflated. “The later parts of tomorrow being my birthday, I heard." I picked my pants from the floor and picked u
“Come here." Kalum said pulling me into a hug, I wanted to punch him but I was too weak and I know my fingers would crack and break out of its joints.“The car is yours, the bicycle was just a joke, it's just the way we are. We're sorry we made you cry."“The car is mine?."“Of course. Nolaine would chop off our balls if she found out we bought something pink for her. " Vinx said.“She would take it as a sign that we're trying to sack her from her job."Kalum brushed the tears away from my cheek and I almost flinched away from his touch, almost. It was gentle and affectionate. I pulled out of the hug and went to the car.“It's beautiful." I gasped.“The keys." Kalum said handing me a set of keys.“Thank you, both of you."I walked to the back of the car, the plate number had my name on it.“The car is custom made?." I inquired.“The company doesn't manufacture pink cars, yes it's custom made."That was so nice of them, going through the trouble of filing for a custom made car. I imag
The scene of the fight was... Gruesome. I repeated a mantra in my head to keep me from running away and breaking down. There were body parts that I couldn't recognize and ugly faces… ugly heads.“This is not what I expected to see today." I muttered under my breath.“What did you expect to see?." Vinx asked me, his tone was suggestive.I rolled my eyes at him and concentrated on the bodies. I heard him chuckling.I had passed out after he fucked me hard, now was not the time to think of it. “There's nothing to see here. Let's get out before someone steps on something and their leg melts away."I bent down and picked a red stone, when I held it close to my eyes I could see that there were golden beads inside.“Rainee, let's go."I put it into my pocket and walked with them to the car.The drive home was not as tense as it was when we were arriving. They reported everything to my mother and as always, she left to deliver the message to goddess knows who.I sat on the dining table, Nola
“do you want to leave?." A hand came up on my shoulder, when I turned around it was Felix. His eyes was filled with so much concern, so soft and gentle.He held up a handkerchief, I took it.“I really need to stop doing that." I said jokingly, I was trying to clear the air of concern. Everybody's eyes was on me. I must be the weakest in their midst, I can stand a few inconveniences without breaking and embarrassing myself.Felix took my hand and interlocked our fingers.“If you want to go I can take you back."“No, I'm fine."“At least this one wasn't killed gruesomely." Nolaine said.“They didn't have time to kill him gruesomely."“But they had time to kill him, stuff a bat and a crab in his mouth, seal it with this piece of clothing, release those bats and escape even when Vinx blew the wall off ten seconds after the man stopped talking...I think they had enough time to do it, they didn't do it for a reason." Kalum said.“I don't see an escape route... Oh, their portals." I said."
“I don't like your tone, Kalum." Felix said.Kalum squinted his eyes and his expression turned angry.I stood there not knowing what to do.“Kalum..." Vinx said calling his brother out.I knew my brothers but I had never seen them jealous before, if this was my ears of making them get back their revenge, I would have been enjoying it.But this didn't feel like petty jealousy, this one was about eliminating the threat. Felix was the threat and my heart was acting funny all of a sudden. I didn't want them to hurt him. Kalum stepped back. I felt relief, I didn't know what was happening, I didn't know how to stop it even when I felt like the both of them were about to throw punches.“Felix, you should leave." Vinx said coldly. “Seriously?." Felix asked.“Yes, I'm serious. Leave."“What did he do?." I asked Vinx, why did they hsve to send him out.“Stay out of this." Vinx told me.I was shocked.“I should stay out of this? Even when I feel like this is very much about me."“I'm going to
Felix's voice was joined by a second and then a third, all telling me to open the door as if they couldn't get in if they wanted to. This was a plot, to make me feel like I have control when I truth I have nothing at all.They were planning to ruin my life, but the problem was that it's ruined already.“Vinx, Kalum and Felix... What would the three of you gain from this?."Someone sighed.“You three are fucked, like you're seriously fucked." Nolaine said. “Your mother, is down there wondering if she had done something stupid like being a spy for the Lantharns while in fact the truth of the matter is that you two have been sleeping with your sister since she got here and now you're mates???. How are you supposed to explain that to her, how is she supposed to take this bloody news.."Oh my gosh, Nolaine knows that we've been having sex? I went to my bed and fell down face flat. My tears stinged my eyes as it left. I felt so devastated. This wasn't even funny at all.But... There was a
“Rainee... We're not going to kill you." She said irritatedly, as if she was tired of dealing with me already. I tried to hide my surprise when she mentioned my name, but I guess I didn't hide it well because she smiled and lifted one brow. “You thought I wouldn't know your name? Of course, I know you name, we all do. We know you more than you know yourself, Rainee."Hearing my name from a stranger from Lantharn who was also a skilled warrior made fear come over me. I lifted my chin and rolled my eyes at her masking my fear.She chuckled.“Let's go."We passed the through a rock formation behind the waterfall, I could just picture myself throwing one of the girls into the water. She would probably smile to her death. We left the waterfall and came to these steps that had been carved into the earth.“Hope you have good grip, you don't want to fall to your death. We said we wouldn't kill you but it doesn't mean we'll stop you from killing yourself."“You all must have foul mouths, d
NOLAINEI couldn't even dare to breathe. I took note that Felix's hair was turning redder by the second, and I swear I could hear something crackling in a fire…like burning wood. it was dangerous to stand so close to him yet I didn't dare to move either. I closed my eyes and took a very long and silent drag of air, I exhaled quietly and repeated the motion. My attention returned back to Vinx, he was rolling his sleeves and laser focusing on the barrier that divided the land between ours and Lantharn. He was deadly silent and under no cause would I want to bring his attention to me. I had seen him in rage before but this was a different kind of emotion I never witnessed before, something that made me taste bile constantly rising to my throat, it made my guts freeze and my teeth chatterI had to remind myself that I was commander of the greatest army to ever exist, I am strong, I am powerful but seeing Vinx punch the invisible field that covered Lantharn like a bubble, it made me feel
