We were driving down a long road, covered by trees, the only true sound being our breathing and the trimming of the car going over the small shambled road as we drove to town. There was a light tension in the air, something he wanted to say but was biting his tongue. The engine shook as he pressed a bit more on the gas, his hand gripping the steering wheel. His knuckles were starting to turn white and his expression was fully indifferent as he stared out of the windshield, the world around us darker than before as the sun finished setting. His head had to of been whirling as his jaw clenched, whatever was going through his mind had me on edge, defensive and ready to protect myself when needed. I could feel the car slow and his eyes darted to me for a moment before he pulled over to the side and turned towards me “were you ever going to tel me” he asked his tone coming out harsh and cold as a glare was sent my way and I twisted my body in my seat towards him. “What are you talking
I was standing in the middle of the hallway leaning against some lockers while Sofia just kept talking, at this point I don’t even remember what she was talking about and even Ella looked lost.She was wide eyed, slightly hunched over closer to the girl with her lips slightly parted as she watched and attempted to listen to Sofia speak.I don’t think either of us truly knew what the girl was talking about right now, the words were slipping out of her mouth like word vomit and the speed was scarily fast. I dont think she was even stopping to take breaths as she spoke.Practice had been dismissed early today and we stood in the middle of a hall while I waited for the boys to show up from their practice so we could walk back to the dorm, Naomi stayed obviously having ulterior motives wanting to see Liam as he left practice.I slipped over next to Naomi who stayed staring at the doors that she knew they would leave from “so” I said, causing her to jump and I laughed at how shocked she was
Making it towards the side of an old beat down road I grab my bag climbing into the back seat of my car before starting to change into an all black outfit that hugged my body. The tight black material held multiple compartments where I started slipping in different weapons making sure everything was accessible yet secure across my body before slipping on my mask, a thick heavy mask that only showed my eyes hiding my identity completely. Moving out of the car I make sure it's covered so it can’t be seen from the road, locking it I begin slinking through the woods on the side of the road working my way down farther and farther towards the older buildings. Making it to an alleyway I looked up at the warehouse, the side of it, the sun was starting to work its way down but there was enough to see all of the withering paint and slightly rotting wood in other areas outside. Examining all of it I look up fully to see a partially cracked window and I smile, I just found my way in, starting
After a while of driving I get a phone call causing me to sigh and look over at it, grabbing it I see ‘Ice Prince’ spread across the screen and I raise an eyebrow before pressing the accept button to answer it. “How’s work” he asked and I could hear the loud pinging of games in the background over his sarcastic tone and I laughed. “I feel great, what time are you guys heading back?” I ask my tone becoming more serious towards the end. “Probably about an hour from now” he said “how far are you from the dorm” he asked and I looked around. “Probably about twenty minutes” I said, shrugging a bit to myself. “I’ll make sure we don’t go back soon then alright” he said and my eyes widened. “Okay” I muttered, still a bit surprised by how relaxed he was with everything, and the fact that he was basically attempting to protect me by making sure no one found out, but I was thankful for it. “I’ll come see you when we get back, see you soon” he said before hanging up the phone as a few yells
By the time the school day was over I was rushing to get away from Sofia, who spent the entire day complaining about how I wasn’t going to be there for their girls night. Honestly I’ve never wanted to cut someone's tongue out more. Everytime she opened her mouth, it didn’t fail. There was some sort of issue and I was tired of having to listen to it and clearly the other girls were as well because lunch was dreadful. She was blabbering on and Ella just laid her head on the table and Naomi turned to talk to me, her annoyed expression turning to excitement as she told me about how nice Liam was to her yesterday. The other girls were lucky, unlike me who was stuck with Sofia all day and by the time the end of the day came around I was basically jumping onto Jace begging to leave when she wasn’t paying attention to me. Finally making it to the dorm I move over to the couch and plop down a groan escaping my mouth before I lean back, my head tilted backwards with my eyes closed. “Blonde
Ru’s POV: We got to one of the old houses, the limo stopping near the door and we all looked at each other for a moment in silence “as long as we follow the rules it'll be fine” Julian stated in a reassuring tone nodding his head a little to us. I watch the others start to climb out of the car “we got this” I stated to Julian who stopped to take in a large breath, his nerves high and body clearly on defense but he shoots me a thankful smile his shoulders relaxing down a bit as he climbs out of the car and I follow after adjusting my suit. We all stood with our heads held high as one of the men opened the door allowing us all to walk in, following after the others I make sure everyone is going to the dining areas where we’re supposed to meet. The boys and I walk in single file moving to our seats, Jace and I sit on one end while Julian and Link sit opposite to us, one seat left on either end of the table, one for our father and the other for Oliver. After waiting a bit, drinks wer
Amara’s POV: As he spoke my blood ran cold, I was right, William was working with my uncle which means William knew who I was. The boys were all going to meet him and soon which meant they’d find out too which means everything I’ve done every lie every ounce of emotion I showed would be called out, they're going to kill me. They’re going to think I’m horrible and they’re going to want nothing to do with me because I betrayed them, I’m going to loose everyone in one shot because of my fucking uncle. He always screws everything up and this time it might be even worse than the last. William sent Ru to meet Casey which meant he knew Ru would piece it together, he always did, after seeing my uncle William knows Ru would be suspicious about me because he’s have pieced something together which means he wants Ru to keep tabs on me. To send him back information, he knows it's me, and he found my weakness. He has him standing next to him practically on a pedestal, likely knowing he’s the o
Julian walks in his footsteps thumping against the wooden floor due to his boots, and he closes it behind him before his eyes trail over me up and down and his eyebrows furrow. I let out a shaky breath as he looked at me confused and I could feel my mouth go dry “Amara” he whispered, stepping closer with confusion written on his face as his eyes went over one of the knives strapped to my thigh. “What the fuck is going on” he asked his voice coming out a bit louder and I bite my bottom lip at the slight fustration in his voice. “Julian I’m so sorry” I whispered, stepping a bit closer but he doesn’t move at all he just looks into my eyes not understanding what was happening. “I wanted to tell you so bad,” I muttered, shaking my head a bit “I don’t think anything really hurts like it has, not being able to tell you who I am and I need you to hear it from me” I said, my voice coming out almost desperate. He takes a small step back while shaking his head from side to side “I’m not who
*Five Months Later*I was sitting on the side of his bed again, leaning against it my head pressed onto the side of the mattress my hand holding onto his."Amara, my love you need sleep" Julian said coming up behind me and I shook my head my face rubbing against the blankets."You haven't slept" he stated and I sighed pulling my head up looking over at Jace's face."I can't sleep" I whispered shaking my head a bit and his hand came up onto my shoulder squeezing it a little."It's been five months Amara" he said and I shook his hand off my shoulder standing up."You think I don't know that" I asked a little louder than I should have and I sigh looking down towards my feet "I know how long it's been" I whispered."Amara please come to bed" he said and I let out a small laugh."Isn't that supposed to be the other way around" I asked looking up at him and he looked at me with a soft smile."I care about the love of my life, sue me" he said in a teasing tone."Jace might be in a coma but h
I stared out the outside of the house I grew up in my fingers tapping on my steering wheel "this place looks petrifying" Jace said from the backseat.I saw the others nod, after years the house had started to decay almost.Wood looked a bit more like it was starting to fall in on itself, paint chipped off of the exterior, vines growing up and around the sides."Now or never right" I said turning the car off and climbing out the boys quickly following "it has secret passages, I used to go through them when I was little" I said walking to the side of the house covered by more bushes and knocking at one of the plank sections it falling off.I reach under and hit a latch the area opening "no one knows about them" I started looking back at the boys "something goes bad go through here, get out" I said sternly and they nodded."Let's go" I stated crouching down a little beginning to climb into the passage way the boys following hunched over behind me.When we make it through I push at the do
I slowly walked into the room and placed my hand on Julian's shoulder "please come to bed" I whispered as he sat in the chair staring at a sleeping Jace."Amara I'll sleep later" he stated and I sighed."You need sleep now" I muttered softly and he let his head fall forward a bit."Jace needs a little bit of time to himself, plus you've been awake for the last four days you need rest it's unhealthy" I started leaning down and hugging him from behind on his shoulders."Please come to bed" I whispered again my voice coming out a bit more pleading this time and his hand moving up gently holding my arm."Alright" he whispered and I smiled a little "what time is it" he asked and I placed my head on his shoulder."Almost two in the morning" I whispered back.He let out a quiet hum in response before turning his head to look at me and I lifted my head off of his shoulder to look back at him.A small smile falls across his face and I press a small kiss to his cheek before letting go of him an
Over the course of the last few days Jace has been learning his best how to walk again, the numb feeling he said was the worst. The way when he took a step it would flicker from feeling nothing at all to feeling intense pain causing him to let out a small scream from the pressure. During this time period Julian has become ten times more protective over him, basically staying awake all night and day at his bed side so that no matter what Jace needs he'd get it. We sat through many levels of fustration as well. The screams of anger from him not being able to move correctly or him trying to hide the tears in his eyes from too much pain. And gods was he stubborn, never wanting to take a break, forcfully trying to push past every bit of pain to get back to how he should be, good enough to go into the fight. Everyone in the house was worried at his mental state as the days had gone by, the way he'd look basically past you so you couldn't stop him. He had been irritable too and that's
"Why are you two sleeping on the couch" I heard from above me and I shift a little my body rolling off of the side and I let out a small groan before looking up. "Amara I don't even understand how you managed to do that" I heard the voice state and my eyes finally become a little less blurry as I see Jake staring down at me clearly confused. "Isn't something like what she just did basically impossible" Julian stated from next to him raising an eyebrow as he looked down at me and I glared up at him causing him to let out a chuckle. "Sorry my love" he stated while squatting down next to me and holding his hand out looking at me almost expectantly. I scrunch my nose up and look away from him causing him to let out a small grunt before tickling my side causing my body to move on instinct a laugh ripping from my throat as I attempt to move his hands away from me. "Accept my appology" he sttated while tickling me and I laughed while nodding. "Okay" I yelled out and slowly he stopped t
A bang came from the room next door causing my head to shoot over "help me up" I stated and Ru stands up picking me up in his arms and pulling me closer to him. Julain stands walking in front of us bringing us to the other room the others following behind us as we walk inside and Ru places me next to Jace on the bed. "Amara" he whispered and I shushed him running my hand through his hair as best I could "what happened" he asked clearly a bit confused. "You passed out" Julian stated and Jace looks at him confused before coughing a bit, a small bit of blood hitting his hand and he looks down confused. "Everything hurts" he whispered while Ru walked over bringing him a rag for the blood and Jace thanked him rather quickly, whiping the blood off of his hand. "Jace do you remeber ingesting something you wouldn't normally have" I ask and the room goes quiet as he thinks about earlier today and he nods. "Yeah before you got to the school actually" he said looking over at me and I nod e
My head was killing me, it felt like it was trying to bang out of my skull and my body was sore "she's moving" I heard a voice but it sounded like it was drowned out. I wince in pain as I shift a bit my mind feeling fuzzy when it came to my surroundings, and then a burning came back in my lungs and a sound ripped from my throat in pain "Amara" I yelll surrounded me but I was gone again. "Jake how did you get here" I whispered, my body cold as I curled in on myself a bit in the dark room staring towards the boy confused. "I got in trouble again" he whispered back and I reached my hnd out for my bestfriend, he reached back his hand folding into mine as he shuffles closer. "Is it always this cold in here" he asked just above a whisper and I let out a long breath as he cuddled closer to my side. "Yeah" I muttered my breath going out in a puff of smoke due to the low temperature "at least they let you keep all of your clothes" I whispered forcing out an airy laugh. "How often does he
When we made it back downstairs I looked around confused "wheres Ru" I ask and Alexander looked up. "He headed back to the main base, said he hand to get something from the car" he stated and I looked at Alexander confused for a moment while the others nodded agreeeing with his statement. "Everything okay with you two now" Alexander asked looking back and forth between the two of us in curiosity. "All good Alex" I said letting out a small laugh and Jake wrapps his arm around my shoulders shaking me a bit. "As always" he stated and I laughed rather loudly at his sudden playful behaviour. The front door opens and Ru comes in holding two bag in his hands and looks at Jake's arm over my shoulders with an eyebrow raised clearly a bit confused. "I bought new stuff for the kitchen" Ru stated breaking the suddenly silence and Noona bursted out of her seat walking over to him as he placed the bags on the kitchen counter. She reaches into one of the bag while staring at him, she looked
"Finally" Jace grummbled when I stepped out of my car and I sent him a strong glare. "Don't comp an attitude with me Jace" I stated crossing my arms over my chest while looking him up and down and he rolls his eyes. "It's been like thirty minutes" he stated and I scoffed. "It's a while drive, you big baby, now get in the damn car" I stated opening the back door and he looked at me almost offended. "The back seriously" he asked and I nodded. "You want to act like a child you can sit in the back like one" I said and he sighed before walking up to me, he looks down at me his hazel eyes colliding with mine full of intensity. "I want you" he stated in a low tone leaning down towards me his face moving to the side of mine and hovering towards my ear and I let out a low chuckle when he nuzzles his face into my neck silently his arms wrapping around my waist and pulling me off of the car and into him. "You have me" I muttered back my hand moving to the back of his head tangling my hand
