-Blake's POV-In my hand I held a bunch of flowers, but I walked into a place I could risk losing the hand whole. Looking around the bar I tried to find her, but it had seemed as if she wasn't here. Dominic wasn't here.After the car accident yesterday I realized how much Dominic's safety meant to me. She was my friend beyond what Nick wanted out of me, beyond what anyone else thought, so I couldn't help but worry. Nick hadn't contacted any of the guys after leaving us yesterday to go get her, so I wasn't sure what had happened, and I was conflicted between what I wanted to happen between the two of them, but Zack did text me last night saying that Nick came home at around 1 am but hadn't talked to
-Nickolas' POV-I walked into school and for the first time, I did it with excitement.After Dominic and I realized that we could be siblings and were told to go home by Xavier, Dominic suggested we get it checked to make sure we were right and without a doubt, it was a 100% match. We were officially siblings. It seemed that during our parents' car accident, Dominic was announced dead along with my parents. I was taken away to an adoption centre and was soon adopted. Dominic, on the other hand, was taken to the hospital where they were able to save her before she was taken away and adopted somewhere else.It was a miracle that we were able to find each other. It still leaves me amazed but all the more tha
-Dominic's POV-"You're coming to the party, right?" Nick asked, and I shook my head 'no'.The party was one I was invited to now that I was somewhat friends with Nick and the rest of them. It was as if the school was celebrating the end of our war, but I knew better than to waste my time in something so trivial.Nick turned to look at me with surprise. "Why not?"
(Authors Notes: Chapters with the title ‘Rewind’ take place sometime in the past.)-Dominic's POV (a couple of days prior)-After school, I walked to the front of the building with my head held high, and my hood over the top. I looked around until I found her. Jessica had seen me at the same time and waved towards me to which I nodded. When we got together we started wal
-Nickolas' POV-It's been a couple of weeks since that day. The day Dominic went missing.That morning, the lads and I had woken up with hangovers and no idea where we were. There were blankets and alcohol bottles lying around us everywhere. It was safe to say that although we weren't at the party we went to, it seemed we had brought the party back to wherever we were. Eventually, after looking around some more, we confirmed that the house was Dominic's with the training room being our biggest clue.After everyone had fully got up, went to the bathroom, and cleaned up a little, we went into the kitchen looking for medication and was surprised to find a drawer full of medication which was highly convenient
-Dominic's POV-It's been three weeks now since I've left and made it to London. My true home. From what I could tell, my legs were pretty much fully recovered, and I was that little bit freer.I had been staying at my biological parents' home ever since I left America. The only reason I knew where it was was that Nick had once told me that he bought the house as soon as he could in order to preserve the little we had of our biological parents.I was in a place that felt so weird to me. I was stood in a place I knew so little about whereas in America I knew everything, but I liked it this way. It was like a new opponent and I was ready to fight.23:00I put my mask on, wrapped my han
-Nickolas' POV-It's been almost four weeks now since my sister's gone missing. It bothers me at every point of the day but that's not all. Planning for our encounter with the Scorpions gang has become a pain too.I spent hours planning with my gang members from all over the world. Getting weapons from Texas, tracking from London, defence gear from Australia, and so on. The actual planning, I had done most of with the guys here but without that extra person we're won't have the advantage and the fight is harder. The Scorpions were a strategy-based gang whereas we were more weapons-based, it was a bad combo and we needed as much help as we could get.That's why I was so desperate to get The Mysterious Demo
-Dominic's POV-It's become a routine now to come to this pub every night. I go into the street fighter's section and warm-up, comfortable in my surroundings now as is everyone else with me being here.Destroyer meets me soon after. I've come to find out his real name is Steven and he's pretty open about himself. The opposite of me. This is proven through his nightly questioning session he likes to do. Asking me how old I am, where I was born, where I live and many others which I quickly answer with an, 'I ain't telling you' but this time when he asked, "What's your name?" I stopped at my 100th push-up and stood to face him which made his face turn into a hopeful one.I smirked and answered, "Secter
-Nickolas' POV-I had told Dominic that morning that I wanted to take her somewhere before we left for America. It was somewhere I had wanted to show her ever since I found out she was in London.I didn't know if showing her this at this point in time was right or wrong, but I felt she deserved to see this. It was important to both of us and in some way, I had hoped that it would be a step towards a better relationship between us.I had blinded Dominic before bringing her out here, but she was good at reading my facial expression as I did. She knew this wasn't going to be enjoyable.The drive there was silent. Mostly because I was nervous, and she could feel that. When we reached the destinatio
-Dominic's POV-Beep..."He's fallen into a coma-"Beep..."But you said the operation was a success!"Beep..."It was sir, but you have to understand that he had severe blood loss and until the transfer was given, the damage was already done."Nick pulled on his hair and turned away in annoyance and anger. All I could do though was continue staring at Blake's unconscious figure.I hadn't slept in the three days that it had taken for Blake's recovery to become stable. When they needed a blood transfusion, I didn't hesitate to volunteer. Eating, drinking, the essentials had all been pushed into the back of my mind and all I could do was pray for Blake's safety.Beside me, Jake was sitting in a chair by Blake's
-Xavier's POV-"Tied them all up?" I asked as I carried a passed-out Zack and Nick on my shoulders into the dining room.The fight against all of these boys was rough. It was no wonder they were one of the strongest gangs in their generation. I was impressed, sure, but they weren't at my level, not yet. Perhaps that was why they asked Demon to join them over me and I'll give it to them for being that smart at least."Yeah," William replied, wrapping some bandages over a wound Arthur had while he was unconscious. "Has Dominic gone?" He then asked so I looked back through the window of the garden just to double-check before nodded at him."So far everything's going according to plan,
-Arthur's POV-I watched intently as Jake stepped out of the house, scanning the area before picking up his phone."Let's start, everyone, go!" Nick instructed and with that Blake shot at each hinge of Dominic's door which had closed as Jake exited. The shots had caused the door to fall and as it did, Nick, Zack and I ran in whilst Jason and Blake had stayed out to guard just in case they get out.If I didn't have my other motive, then leaving Zack out there to guard as well would have been a smarter choice. Nick had caught onto this as well, but I convinced him otherwise. Even though I wanted us to succeed, I needed the other gang to succeed more and so I needed the least defence on the outside as possible.With that going through my head, we made it into
-Blake's POV-I watched from afar with my hands clenching my gun as my brother walked towards Dominic's house, ready to start our plan.I was bothered. Really bothered. It was bad enough that Dominic and I have been on off terms because of this whole situation but it was worse that she and Jake had gotten closer as we drifted. She seemed to be more comfortable with him than she used to be, and it really bothered me. Why?I knew it was bad to think of my brother as someone who would hurt me. I knew that the trust he had from me was well deserved and he wouldn't do anything to tarnish that but...why?Why were they meeting more frequently while we're in a situation so chaotic? Wh
-Dominic's POV-Knock Knock.He was here.I got up from my seat, nodding towards Xavier and William before making my way towards the front door. Before opening it, I checked who was on the other side with caution. Seeing that it was, in fact, the person I was expecting, I let him in."Hey Dominic," Jake greeted before hugging me tightly. That was enough for me to know that their plan was going forward. There wasn't a 'sweetheart' and his face was pale, almost grave.After he stepped into the house, I closed my door -making sure to lock it securely.Walking back to the dining room, I searched the walls around my home one last time for signs of trouble and apart from the open window which I closed shortly after, ever
-Jake's POV-"She won't listen to a word I say. She just doesn't trust him, Nick."Currently, Blake, Nick and I were sitting in one of Nick's rooms while Blake was explaining how things were going with Dominic to Nick. So far, he's had no luck in trying to get her to agree to what we had planned. Originally, I thought she was just being stubborn,but the more Blake told us about the way she had been acting, the more I began to speculate.I'm not the smartest in the group -in fact, I may be the dumbest after Zack- but I knew women. They were logical, forward-thinking and cautious. They'll get played but will learn after they're played. Guys, on the other hand, will just get played over and over
-Dominic's POV-"He's done what?" Xavier asked nerve struck."He's convinced them all that he's doing this for my benefit. They're trying to get me to go to some people to get 'wiped clean' or some bullshit like that." I responded dryly. Unlike, Xavier I wasn't really angry, I was just tired of it now."I know I said that we shouldn't trust them, but I didn't know that they couldn't be trusted! Fuck this!" He exclaimed, flailing his arms in the air before holding the bridge of his nose to calm down. "Fine. It doesn't matter. We were alone for four years, we can carry on working alone. Remember, act normal, don't let them get anything from you. I just-" He clenched his fists, "I just can't believe they fell for his lie!""They fell for it?"I turned my
-Blake's POV-I smiled down at my screen as I read Dominic's text message explaining that the was dragged out of the house by Xavier to go and train which was why the door was suddenly slammed closed all of a sudden. I trusted Xavier with Dominic, so I saw no problem with him taking her but now the only issue was finding out what to do now that she wasn't here.I wasn't bored for long though as there was a knock at the door and this time the lads and I go up to open it with caution. When we did, we saw that Arthur stood outside with a straight face. Nick was pretty welcoming and invited him in happily but there was something about him I wasn't comfortable with. After Dominic and I's last encounter with him, hi
-Dominic's POV-Discomfort.No matter what I did or who I was with I was uncomfortable.Arthur's words rang constantly in the back of my head and it was driving me insane. 'You're not really my sister so fuck off,'. Sure, what he said upset me but it was whatever drove him to say those words which annoyed me too.I thought I could trust Arthur but now I wasn't so sure. Not only did he lie to me, but he also wouldn't tell me the truth after I caught his lie. He was hiding something from me and -as much as I didn't want to believe it- I had a feeling I knew what he was keeping hidden.Clearly, I hadn't killed the whole gang, I thought with minor anger but took a breat
