Molly A lot of things have been happening and I did not know where to begin. I have been at the outskirts for sometime now and it has not been easy on me for one bit. There was nothing much with me and all I needed to discover right now was a really good motel where I would rest for the night. I had been dropped off at a fuel station and had to ask the attendees there where I could find a place to roost. One of them was getting off work shortly and she asked me to wait for her. It was just in twenty minutes which I did not mind at all. I mean, I needed to rest too. So, I hung around. It felt like eternity but I was already beginning to hope that I would find Jace and all the search would be over."Hey, are you hungry?" She had finished and came to me. She looked really pretty for a girl in a town like this and was adorned in an all goth outfit. I realised it before anything that I was drawn to her. I have been in a relationship before and it did not end very well and I have avoided i
Peter I could literally tell that Damon was hiding something and I decided that I would go check in on him much later. I mean, we two were literally buddies and did understand ourselves and I had this understanding. He certainly would want to tell me what he had discovered. So, I went straight to my bedroom and I laid there biding my time until I felt that no one would be moving around. I got out of my bed and then started off to his bedroom and knocked. He demanded what I wanted even before I told him that I was the one and his tone spoke of a lot of anger and pent up emotions making me wonder if I had done something to provoke or upset him. So, I told him that I wanted to talk and he came over and opened the door himself. Usually, he would ask me to come straight inside but this time, he had actually locked his door from the inside. If I knew one thing about Damon, it was the fact that he never locked his door. I mean, none of us really did anyways and right now, he had this look i
Jace Everything in the house was being really weird and I knew by now that they were intentionally sending me away making me wonder what was happening. This also scared me as I did not want to be caught up in something that could actually cost me my life. I mean, they have been sending me and acting like criminals would and I could no longer latch onto the promise that Garrett had made when he told me everything was alright. I needed to know what I could do about myself and if I should just run away. Who knows, I might go start a new life somewhere or I would take the time to find Molly. Yes, she was already looking for me and thanks to them, I had totally missed her. Even though it had been my choice totally that I had come here to work. I started wondering if I could plead with Garrett to send me back. That night, they had returned and were actually all weird and suspicious. I needed to find answers and I did my very best to stay out of their way. Harold told me yet again that they
Damon Now everyone was beginning to try and poke through me but I refused to bulge. I no longer cared whether or not we could read through each other to tell when there was a lie being made. All I needed right now was to start my investigations. Harold himself must have noticed because I had seen from his eyes that he did not seem satisfied when I told him that everything was as I had mentioned. He asked for an interaction and I told him that was all as I started away from my bedroom. All this while when everyone had been making out their findings, they had me working on the least important thing just to keep me at bay or whatever they thought they would achieve from keeping me away from what was necessary. How on earth was I just allowed to try and figure out people who came inside in the last few months. That was an almost impossible task and yet it was clear that it was to keep me at bay. I did not worry either about them finding out anything from the bounty hunter. He had no ide
Damon Now, I am really pissed. I could not determine what I should focus on right now because she was heavily pregnant and there was a black eye. Sheila was looking like a shadow of herself and I could not believe my eyes right now. Definitely, she was not happy here and that bastard had been putting his hands on her. What I saw before me was not a woman angry about seeing me. Instead, it was a woman who was scared of being found in a compromising position and the way she glanced around, I could tell her neighbours were no fans of her. It was bad enough for a former prom queen to be in a marriage that did her no good but having neighbours who made it worse was something else. So, I decided to overlook how she had sounded right now and I asked her a polite question."Are you scared someone would see me here?" I asked her and she swallowed hard."Did anyone see you coming in?" She asked me. She was trembling and I could tell why."No. Remember my sharp eyes. Well, I made certain. But y
Jacob The whole thing was beginning to get to me and I was literally losing control. I have never been this sort of person to confront anyone for a person I cared about but with Jace around, the mate bond was beginning to drive a wedge between me and my morals. I had to speak to Peter after the whole display by Damon. He would figure a way to let Jace go and I would figure a way around all of this. I had finished trying to ask Harold some questions when I decided that I would wait on Peter. I had heard him go into Damon's room and wondered what the duo were plotting. I mean, he has always been Damon's favourite in the whole house and should be able to get one or two things which I also doubted that he would share.It was then I thought of the cakes and I decided to go give Jace some. Call it petty and I would totally understand because that was what I was beginning to morph into. Some petty ass hopeless bastard in love. Seeing the twinkle in his eyes when I offered it made me excited
Peter What was wrong with me right now? I had gone and kissed Jace and now, everything in my system was fired up. I left him as I wondered if I should have listened to Jacob and rejected him instead. That would have made things a lot easier, right? Jace had this look of surprise in his eyes but I could not help but feel this was not his first time sharing a kiss with a man. A passionate one and this definitely had nothing to do with the man who abused him in the orphanage home. The only question that made me worried was that it should better not be from this house or I would lose my shit.I left him rather quickly as I did not want anything to keep me lingering around after what I had done. Very quickly I bounded off to my bedroom. I could not sleep. My heart was beating really fast and I was wondering what Jace would think of me now. I mean, he already thought that I hated him and after this kiss, was he going to see me as another abuser? This was going to make me sadder by all r
Peter I finally arrived at the place after a three hour drive. Gosh, this was so annoying and I was beginning to hope it would be worth it. I found a concealed spot to pack my car and then, I went inside. I had no reservation but then decided that I would probably try to get a booth that would be close to his own. I offered a lot of money to be shown the inside and well, had it not been for the whole bounty hunters business, I would say that was the sort of place Damon would rest easy. There were half naked dancers and I would never expect a performance at this time of the day. Definitely, he had not come here for pleasure of any sorts because I was observing this place. It would do nice to play out as some sort of place where criminals could meet with themselves unnoticed. Eventually, I asked for his seat number and the lady who had no clue told me that it was occupied. I asked if there was another close and she showed me four extras. I picked the one where there were men smoking an
Damon I guess I should be given the fastest man alive award for the way I had dashed out of the lab. Finally, my brothers were coming up to speed with what I was planning to do and it was really nice that I was not alone in this. Seeing those vampires out there looking really helpless was not something that I had been looking for. So, I went over the rock and made the fastest jump down ever as I rushed to the car. Very quickly, I pulled away the bushes used to cover it and I got inside and started driving away. The sun was already coming down at this point a little and I knew we were somewhere around the afternoon. I drove all the way straight out of the outskirts in a frenzy I had not been expecting and soon, to the city. I had no idea at the slightest where exactly I wanted to go but I pulled one on my contacts. The moment I dialled him, he became really scared from how he sounded on the phone. He probably was wondering why I was calling him two times a week. That was bothersome,
Garrett You ever have a sibling you wish it would not really matter if you kill them because right now, Damon was filling that position for me. His rash reactions and lack of foresight against risk was alarming so much that I began to wonder how he had managed to survive all these years.How on earth do you go around pulling levers and when the ground beneath you starts to give way, you remain put? How do you hear sounds that are scary and then risk your life to go investigate. He was beginning to make it look like our purpose here was to try and keep him from doing something stupid other than save our pack.Now, he had returned with the not so good news on how there were vampires in here. And he was looking excited much like he wanted to release them. I was counting on the fact that he might have already done that. I looked helplessly at Jacob and the disappointment on his own face told me everything that I needed to know about his emotions at the moment. He did not actually find it
Jacob A mission with my brothers was definitely not something I thought would have happened if asked about it two years ago or even six months ago. Who would have thought that so much would change in just a short time that was beginning to make me realise something more. It was not so bad working with my brothers. In fact, it made me feel a special closeness to them and I started to wonder as I was driving why we never bonded this way. Perhaps, I should say thanks to the bounty hunters for this avenue and Jace for being the common thing that we all were mutually connected to.I drove through the outskirts and peeped at the rearview mirror to find Damon sleeping. He looked so peaceful and not so mischievous. I admire him now. A version of me who had gone out of his way to take risks for us. I mean, who would have thought that such a heart lies beneath that playboy glee that we were all used to. It made sense now, those times that I would find him snooping around. And now I could tell
Damon Everyone was finally on the same page. At least everyone here that had to be as Peter was still upstairs sleeping. I enjoyed the fact that we all understood this whole situation wholeheartedly and I was finally able to open up to my brothers on what I had found out. By the looks of things, we most definitely would be getting back at Luke together.I had to explain the whole findings to them but I had already seen the design of that machine and I believed that was something Garrett the genius would be able to understand. I was right. The moment he took a look at it, his eyes widened with so much shock. He recognised it or at the very least, what it was supposed to do and I knew we were not safe before he told us that it was all about destruction."Wait, what do you mean by that?" Harold demanded. This was the first time I have seen him panic this way."From what I can tell about this, it is supposed to create something that would fish us all out and make us go rabid and even kil
Garrett Finally, we would not be needing to keep our identity hidden from Jace any longer. It was high time actually because I was already wondering if I was going to have to keep lying to him. Harold seemed to be finally getting into understanding us and I was really happy. That was when Jace asked the funny question and we started laughing.I felt bad for him when I looked up at him and noticed how he looked. He had been genuinely shaken up by Peter's stuff that he might have seen his life flash before his own eyes. I knew for one thing though that even though Peter was not going to eat him, he was definitely going to kill him. But it was not intentional and that was something I believed Jace should understand. Yes, I have always wanted his attention to myself and I really wished for that even now but we all had fought together to keep him safe and so, everyone deserves a second chance to make him trust us.So, I spoke up."Actually, he was not going to eat you. He was in pain and
Jace I was freaking out, my insides felt like they had been tied into a knot of sorts and right now, all I wanted was to leave here alive. I had been shocked when I had suddenly been approached by a wolf so much that I feared that I was going to lose my life. The creature was definitely really big and the eyes screamed of the many horrors it was promising me.That was when I saw Damon approach and my eyes lit up. Perhaps, he would defend me but the distance from where it was to where I stood was actually really close. One wrong move and it might actually attack me and cause me a lot of pain. Fear coursed through my insides as I was already trembling.Harold, Jacob and Garrett had come from behind me as well. But they asked me to calm down.This was clearly my fault, I had thought. If I had not been busy feeding the foxes then maybe this wolf would not be here. It probably had seen me and had come for its own meal. Those were my thoughts until I saw the unexpected. The wolf had launch
Damon I could see now that we all were in league and for the first time since I was burdened with my sexuality, I finally felt relaxed. It was great to feel that I and my brothers were in this together and right now, I did not want to deny Jace anymore. If anything, I wanted to be with him, learn to love him and see where all this ends. One confusing aspect was my brothers though, they all seemed like they were prepared to go all the way with him as well and this could easily ruin all my plans. I have no idea what exactly I had been expecting but it most certainly was not that they would latch on.Well, it would be great to see where it all leads. And right now, Harold was looking really troubled. There was definitely more to the reason why he was so certain that we would not be accepted and I knew he was hiding some juicy story. One question I had right now was if Harold had attached to him a dark side. That would actually be great to talk about. That our all uptight butler has his
Jacob Alright, this was way more than I had ever thought or bargained for. The fact that everyone suddenly had fessed up made me feel like it was all over and done with. All the hiding and deceit but what I believed was the fact that everyone of us had a problem. Bad enough that Jace was a guy, how could we all belong to him? It was horrible to even begin to think with and the fact remained that I did not want to share with anyone.I had to carry, Peter insisted. The asshole that has ruined everything because of his impulsive decisions. While hearing Harold speaking to Damon. I heard when he told him that we all were going to have to reject Jace. That sounded awful but I shall have words to say later.The door to Jace's room was open slightly as I emerged from his floor and Garrett was in there. I walked over and then slightly opened the door to find Jace laying down, his head on Garrett's lap as the latter rocked him from side to side."Everything okay?" I asked him."Yes. I guess h
Damon I already had enough of the pretext as I walked away. At some point on my way downstairs, I decided that it was all good and I returned."Ah, Damon, I'm glad you returned. You know we can talk about this." Harold said to me."Come on, bro. We cannot keep hiding secrets and I know that you're not a traitor, so you shouldn't take what Garrett says to heart." Jacob said to me.They were definitely considering gigs in the comedy terrain because right now, I was pissed beyond measure."Secrets? You think my secret is anything like the ones I notice in the house? Yet, I trust you all so much that I am in denial." I stated."What are you talking about, son?" Harold demanded."Yeah, what are the secrets around the house?" Garrett demanded."How about this for a secret, bro. How about you explain to us what is good between you and Jace!" I demanded angrily."What is that supposed to imply?" Garrett demanded."I probably was not going to suspect anything but I have been watching. Pretend
