Everything happened so quickly
But why did it happen to me?We arrive at this huge house. And when I say huge.I mean huge.We pulled up in the drive. And it was a huge frickin drive.But we weren't parking there, we went in double doors. Into a massive Garage. They have nice cars that's for sure.I'm still wondering why I'm here though.We get out, and unfortunately for me my legs buckle ending in me falling to the floor not so gracefully and not hideously either.Great.Luckily though I actually don't make it onto the floor before eli (in case you forgot he was the guy I was checking out before) had some how gotten out the car so quick, and caught me before I fell and actually hit the floor."be careful sweetheart. Don't want you to get hurt.." he says to me, his hoarse voice implies that he lost it a couple of days ago."i- I'm - "(not fooling anybody there DJ) "thank you" I manage to mumble, he nods at my response "Do you want me to carry you?" he asks me, no amusement in his eyes, meaning he's being serious."I think I'll manage...but thanks" I nod, he replies with an "okay" and leads me into the house.We go through the doors to the house. And Jesus do I think I've died.I think everyone had that thought when they were little that they wanted to live in a mansion, except me anyway.But I just made my non existing dreams come true. Yey.I'm not even gonna mention the fact that he called me sweetheart. As the others were lounging about, and needed to get on with business. Jasper said he'd give me a tour of the house, which he did.And boy, Jesus Christ.Then we were making our way down to the main lounge, everyone was there, all 7 guys. Luckily, there was a girl about the same age as me or only a few years older than me there. She gave me a look then went backto reading a book which was on her lap..the guys looked at me..all of them...I don't know what they were expecting but it was creepy.Then ajax spoke up..He has a deep voice...hot, sexy."So you're the girl jasper has been talking about then" he says, catching everybody's attentionHe eyes me up and down then adds to his sentence when I don't talk."Did we even search her? She could be holding a weapon!" He shakes his head at Jasper who doesn't look fazed.I scoff "you kidnapped me without even knowing that I carry weapons?" I give him a shake of the head. I laugh and throw grab out a handful of my knives that rest in my shoesI threw 2 of them at Ajax, but he didn't flinch. He knew it was coming, he caught themHowever, then I throw one at Jasper, unfortunately he doesn't catch it and it goes straight into his shoulder."fuck, jee thanks what was that for again?" He cries out from the pain. Good."you drugged me you piece of shit!" I shout at him.The first to react to the scene that was unfolding in front of them, was Nathan."what the hell! Jasper you said she was stable!" Nathan shouts at jasper. Jasper shakes his head unknowingly."yeah, well that was 7 years ago Nate!" He mumbles, but we all clearly hear what he says.Nathan goes over to jasper, takes the knife out of his shoulder. Bandages him up. Then all eyes are on me again"and why did you do that?" Eli asks me, I shrug"first, you don't drug a person, especially your sister, second I knew Ajax could catch it, but my dear brother over here, isn't the catching type that also explains why he never gets a proper girlfriend..." I manage to give out a laugh."well then, you are a pain in my ass already" Jasper says, I fake gasp."that's what he said aswell" I whisper. But it comes out as a shout.I shudder at the thought of the guy who had gotten me out of the care home. It brings back unwanted memories
"who is this guy?" Jace asks me, talking for the first time.(locks eyes with jace, who is 2 years younger than me, and says) "he was a monster. Who did everything for himself." I tear my gaze away from jaces."what was his name?" Eli asks me, too many questions people. You're the ones who kidnapped me!"id rather not to into detail, that's my personal business and I don't think you would want to hear it anyway..." I speak."okay then, well what's your name love?" Alec asks me. His voice is low, something tells me he doesn't talk very often."Dahlia, but I prefer you don't call me that...DJ is fine" I say to them, they give me confused looks."Why dj?" Eli asks me."its my name, Dahlia Joel." I say to them all"Cool, well jasper, anything else we need to know about this girl?" I think its chase who asks jasper. Jasper sighs, 'yeah, good luck with her when she is annoyed." He mumbles out."ah, you meanie, I ain't that bad" I growl at him, no I'm not a wolf."well you might have gotten better anyway" he shrugs, "we didn't introduce ourselves yet...I'm Chase" he pauses, "I'm 19 years old, you can call me chay or Ace, I don't really mind"I can also call you anytime- So he's one of the youngest Chase Cole huh..well he is damn fine, but I don't feel sexually attracted to him, like at all"She already knows who I am" hw waves his hands in the air, like he just doesn't care, "whatever, Ajax Crawford..I'm 22, you can call me Aj."Oh feisty..."I'm Alec Baxter and I'm 21..you can call me Al."Damn he is fine too, he was one of the guys who saved me back there and also then kidnapped me. "I'm Eli connors, I'm 22, you also can call me E."Damn, he is so fine, I would so love to hit him up. Omg what am I thinking?"I'm jace Morgan, I'm 18, I'm also the y
Jasper, Eli and I make our way to town, While we are in the car I admire the scenery, look there ain't nothing better to do.I'm in the passenger seat with Eli as he is driving, and they don't particularly want to keep me on my own. As I might open the doors somehow and run away.I can understand that they think I'm gonna run away, but I don't want to. Not yet at least anyway.I think I'll sleep on itJas and Eli are talking, I get distracted by something along the road. 2 people: a male and a female.I can just about make out what they are doing, the male is hitting her...but then I notice it, the female isn't fighting back and is bleeding on her head...and literally everywhere.It takes about 3 seconds before I decide to get out of the car and get him away from her.She needs to be saved.Everyone is just too scared to help. I can see it in their eyes as they walk past, stumble past. Run past.They are too afraid of getting hurt
"You're meant to be resting..." Ajax speaks up, noticing me. "you've known me for what?....5 hours? And you're already concerned for my health." I say to Ajax who questions me immediately the second he notices me,"well- err i...just.." Ajax trails off, never been the type of guy to properly think when in a situation with a cute girl."she's taking this piss, aj, she likes people helping her...sometimes" my brother speaks up, hes right, but I would rather die than agree with him. "I'm fine, really" I say to them both while I walk into the room and sit down, "Hey, you sure you're okay?" Eli asks me and I nod, resting my hand on my head, "Just the occasional dizzy spell, but I'm already used to that" Eli looks at me concerned, until Jasper speaks up, "when she was little, she got seriously injured in her head" he chims in, looking over at me once again, worried as per usual.the conversation takes a turn once Ashley and Jace walk through the front door, arguing ab
When things got rough, I used to just deal with it.But I can't deal with it now.I hate panic attacks.When I was about 16, they started, and they started because he died.My best friend died.I killed him.I killed my best friend to become an assassin.I miss him.I want to see him9 amI didn't really know I've woken up until I awaken because of the rain and the storm.I'm feeling better since my panic attack at like 2 am this morning, I want to see the others.I'm still a bit on edge, but this needs to be done. I go downstairs, kinda afraid."hey, you feeling better now?" Eli asks me"fine. Still a bit on edge though...but that's normal..." I say to him, its only part of the truth though."I wouldn't say normal." Ajax mumbles, but I hear him and offer him a
Dahlia povMaybe if I hadn't of killed him, we would still be together.That's all I want.Us to be together again.Like the old days.When he was still alive."sorry.." I start, And Eli immediately glances over to me, "what are you apologizing for?" He's confusion holds the tension in the air."shouting." I mumble, and Eli takes a deep breath, and then relaxes, "it's fine. Don't worry about it" but i already am.14:27 PM ~ TuesdayI come running down the stairs, wearing my sports clothes, ready for a run.Only Nathan and chase are in the lounge."Woof" nathan wolf whistles at me, his jaw wide open, his eyes staring at my ass. Chase is next to him, also looking at my ass, beautiful ."Damn" chase mumbles. "what never seen a girl wear this before?" I roll my eyes"nah, but you look...wow" Nathan glances up, meeting chases eye when he looks up too. "yeah what he said...." he mutters under his breath
13:12 PMI don't have any family apart from my brother.That's what I originally thought.And then my phone rang.I was down stairs with all the guys except for chase and Ashley.We were having a conversation about how we are gonna be able to take down the scorpos.My phone ringtone was stupid.That's what I thought anyway.I haven't heard it go off for about 6 years.When I was a teenage
Dahlia povIt all happened so fast. Alec and I were talking outside, then we heard a monstrous scream. I could see alec look at me, and I knew he was gonna do something to stop me from going. So instead I just ran toward the scream.And of course, he followed.He had to.Unless he wanted to get killed by Ajax or Jasper for letting me go, I stopped suddenly, looking in front of me was a little girl, about 6 years old, staring blankly at the scene in front of her.There was a guy probably mid thirties, beating a woman up, he was grabbing her viciously by her hair, and yet the child didn't have any emotions that she portrayed.I do the only thing I know how to, and walk up to the man, who still holds the woman captive. Then the guy stops, hearing the leaves crackle as I walk, then the man looks up at us star
Nathan takes me to his bedroom, which is quite large and very open in space, but barely any windows, he gets me to sit down on one of the chairs in the corner by the mini bar and I take that spare moment to ask him some questions, "Did you study medicine?" Nathan looks back at me from getting his medical supplies and replies, "yeah I did a bit in high school" but doesn't say much, so I ask him some more, "why did you stop?"Nathan ponders for a moment before he answers and then shrugs, "things came up, I had to take care of my brother before anything, and the high school I went to didn't really offer anything good"I nod, "did you have good grades?" Nathan smirks a tiny bit, "I guess" he pauses, "but it just wouldn't work out for a guy like me, not now anyway""you mean the whole 'i'm involved with a gang, you just happen to be on the most wanted list" I say to him, curious about him and the life he has in a gang. Nathan strides over to me from his 'work
Dahlia pov~ jace(clear up any confusion - jace's first name is actually jayson. But he prefers being called jay or jace)I decided a while ago that I'd love to get taken out to a non romantic place.For example, a karaoke bar.It's always been one of my interests to sing, and to play the guitar. I'd never known anyone though, who would accompany me to going to one and performing as well.It had always been kinda scary too when I thought about singing in front of so many people that I don't know.But my dream came true.Sooner or later, when you least expect it. Something great will happen.I was getting ready for the day (it was 2:23 PM) in some clothing that
Dahlia pov~ alec.Today was mine and alec's official first date, and honestly I'm pretty nervous.He said I should wear something comfy that I don't mind getting water on, and that I can get muddy.I went down stairs, and saw alec with a picnic basket. Omg, are we having a picnic? I want to try and scare him, but I know that he has really good senses, so he might already know I'm down here....oh well, can't hurt right?So I go up to him as quiet as I can."BOO!"He laughs and turns around, my eyes go wide when I see what he has in his hand.A knife."you tried and failed, and more like scared yourself" he says in between laughing."
Dahlia pov You know when you have this anxiety and you don't know why? You know when you know people and you still think that they are gonna kill you? Apparently I do need the shrink after all. We are in the private jet now, and let me tell you, all Ajax and Alec are doing is sleeping. That's it, sleeping. Our estimated arrival time will be in 17 hours. So, I decide to listen to my music, which I haven't listened to since i was"kidnapped" by the now dead ,Ja xon. But that's in the past now, And I'm gonna get better, I have to get better, I have some what of a 'family' now, and I want to stay with them. The jet journey is boring. I have nothing to do except from sleep, and I think I've done enough of that for a while. Jasper pov I don't see why the hounds and the Scorpos are he
Dahlia pov It's the same thing every. Fucking. Day. And honestly its getting boring. Don't get me wrong, I love hearing all of them, but I'd much rather talk to them face to face, and when I can actually reply would be nice aswell. But instead, I'm just laying in a hospital bed, probably with the ugly hospital gown on. And I can't do anything to help. I try to do something. I have done for a while now, I try to get myself out of this coma that I'm in, this time though, im not gonna give up, until I actually wake up. And see their ugly faces looking at me.But it only gets my heart racing, every time it does that, the nurses come through and make a scene of it, for gods sake I only want to fucking wake up. Ignore the coma girl, I do it again, but this time I don't stop when the nurses tell me too. I can hear people shouting, I can hear Ajax and
If I knew what would happen, I wouldn't of gotten involvedDahlia povI find an intense stare pierce through me, so I look around and find mateis eyes."We know you want to kill us, well Jaxon wants you to kill us, and we know you don't want to because of some stupid trauma, but come on, get it through your thick skull, Jaxon is using you!" I'm getting angrier at the second, and then the thoughts pop back into my mind, of how Jaxons parents killed my own.Now, I have 7 knives on me and 2 guns which house 9 bullets each and there are 19 gang members in the room. 7+9 = 16 and I obviously let Edison off the hook, Link has been nice to me while I've been here, and obviously Ed loves him, Avery and Saffron haven't done anything wrong, Cedric and Ethan haven't done anything wrong, but they have been assholes.Ellie and skyler are a bunch of idiots who think they own
Jaxon PovI feel betrayed. A part of me knows that what I did was wrong, with Dahlia, she went through abuse nearly everyday at mantian, and I know that, we all know that. But I didn't care, I just wanted my answers.But if she doesn't actually know the answers to the questions, why have I been so blind as to stop? You can tell just by looking at dahlia that she has been through hell, and she's probably experienced more abuse than ever and its all because I wanted stupid answers from an assassination that happened 5 years ago.But I still need to ask her if she will help me fight and possibly kill the hounds, and I don't think thats gonna go well.Dahlia pov"I want to talk to all of you" Armstrong says, sitting down on the couch. "You may be wondering why my sister is here and why I left early this morning, my sister and I need help with tracking down and killing a gang t
Love/lʌv/nounnoun: love; plural noun: loves- strong feeling of affection.Crushinformal- a brief but intense infatuation for someone, especially someoneunattainable.Jaxon povI have been out with Skylar for 4 hours now, and its been great hanging out with her, its nice to catch up on somebody I haven't spoken to or seen for 4 years, shes the only family I have left, and it pains me to see her hurt, I just wish that I could save her from the grief, never mind anything else. I wanted her to have freedom, but we both knew that it would only happen once Dahlia and the rest of the group where not here.Especially Dahlia.She had a gift that I needed gone.Ajax povI'm sitting in the lounge with everyone, having a chat with everyone about Dahlia, and the first thing we talk about is the obvious crushes on Dahlia,
Ajax povSaturday comes around fast and all I can think about is Dahlia, I know I have it bad for her, and I realise that I probably won't get her back, I guess faking my death really did fuck up quite a lot. I'm also very aware that all the others too might have secret crushes to, but I know for a fact Ash isn't keeping it a secret, after all most of the Hunters can read her like an open book.However, the gang gets drunk quite a lot and when they do, they talk quite a lot.Jace just keeps to himself now. He is 18, the youngest out of the group, but he did admit that he like Dahlia, he gets crushes so easily I'm surprised he didn't get one on me, though I think he got one on Eli, I cant blame him.Alec hasn't been talking either, well he doesn't talk much anyway, but Dahlia brought him out of his shell in a way, Alec had a relationship with a girl called
I made a deal with Jaxon, but I also made a deal- a pact with 'him' when I was becoming an assassin, so truly, words and deals don't seem to matter to me. "Tell nobody about the missions you go on, no confidential information relating to the assassinations. Even if you get tortured, you can't say anything, understand?" His words are repeated again and again over and over. Causing me to have painful flashbacks of everything he did. "You do what I say, when I say it! No excuses, you are stupid, dumb, I can't even believe you are one of the best, you need to understand this is for the best and if you can't believe that then I have bigger things to do to you" "Get it through your thick head that you belong to me! You're mine. Forever and always, mine, nobody else will have you!""You are so god damn annoying, just shut up, can't we do this in peace just once? If you wanted a punishment you could of just asked." "Get a fucking grip Dahlia! Y
