Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56When 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 aRelated chapters

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
Me in a gang? No, I'm in a family Chapter thirteen: A life not worth living
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
Me in a gang? No, I'm in a family Chapter fourteen: Team player
The gang keeps asking me questions, and I can't stop them but its hardly what I would call a good conversation, its more like an invasion of freakin privacy. but Ajax and Jasper keep out of it, almost like they know how mad I can get, I hate getting asked questions so I try and be as basic as I can be. but they don't even try and stop the others, almost like they know, I wish they would just shut up. I just want quietness again, please I beg of you. ha fuck that I am not begging for anything, ever again. Ever since Coby anyway.Jace tries to make the conversation go longer by asking the stupidest questions, "do you have any hobbies then, Dahlia?" I nod and give him the bare minimum of what they are, "I like killing people and reading" which is mildly true, but I hate killing people, I just can't do it without thinking about him. my thoughts however are interrupted when Jasper laughs, "If you wanna say knife throwing, say it, our sk
Me in a gang? No, I'm in a family Chapter fifteen: Shut them away or shut down
I'm not sure if I should be happy or upset that I managed to find him, well I didn't exactly find him he was here all along under my nose, that stupid idiot. I'm angry and mad and a lot of everything, how could someone who supposedly loved me do this? why didn't he tell me sooner? I could have still been with him and had a life with him, but I guess he didn't feel the same.Ajax makes Ty leave and I move from standing right next to him to sitting down the furthest I can away from him, I hold my head in my hands and lower them near my lap, needing comfort in my own warmth. After 10 minutes everybody in the gang came back from their business jobs, and the look on their faces each when they walked in were enough for the atmosphere to turn extremely tense, even more than what was before, but they knew that something was wrong, yet they didn't ask, they know better than that-or well some of them do.Most of them stayed silent. Though a few of them like Jace
Me in a gang? No, I'm in a family Chapter Sixteen: The leave
1:39amAfter all this time he is actually alive? How the actual fuck did I not notice this, he's changed so much that I have only been able to see it now, none of this makes sense. Do I call him Ajax or Coby? Do I mention this to anyone else or do I just forget about it and let it go? Fuck that.But while I sit and ponder I notice a shadow outside my door, and then after a few seconds knock hits, making me flinch only slightly. "Dahlia, you awake?" I roll my eyes, "When am I not?" he gives me a short laugh and then opens the door, shaking his head as he enters my room. "I wanted to see how you were doing" he pauses, "Fuck off, Coby" the words barely process my mind before I speak and I can tell he gets visibly hurt and disappointed at my words, now you see how it feels."You know that I had such a hard time having to do that, but I didn't have a choice" I scoff at him, "Are you fucking kidding me right now? I had to literally think I was

(three days since Dahlia moved in with Calvin)13:37 PMI know Ajax has ben trying to locate me, he managed to turn on my phone and nearly find me but luckily I caught him before it got any further, Cal wasn't happy when he found out that Ajax was actually Coby and he was my ex, he got mad at what he did and made me do, and once I told him everything he told me that he would make sure it never happens again.But I know for a fact that Ajax wont stop trying and I don't want him to hurt Cal, no we aren't dating, yet anyway I don't know if I want to create something in my head that isn't there, I don't even know if he actually does like me like that or we are just going off of some fling that we had years ago and it has been relite. Cal and I are baking chocolate chip cookies and dancing to old pop songs that we had both forgotten, I cant help but smile at Cal and his awful dancing and singing, but I can t

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
Me in a gang? No, I'm in a family Chapter twenty six: one way or another, we need a plan
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,
Me in a gang? No, I'm in a family Chapter Twenty Four: an optional way out
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
