When we left the room ready, Ryder was on the other side with his back to us. A long black tail sticks out from under his arm. I shared a look with Angie and she shrugged.- And good? Where do you have to go?” He looked over his shoulder at us and smiled. That terrifying smile that he had was not normal, he never genuinely smiled, in fact he smiled very rarely and it was always towards me, the most mocking, haughty or sarcastic smile I had ever seen.He turned on his feet slowly and I could see what he was carrying in his arms. He was a cat, a black cat. He had eyes so deeply yellow that I thought he could demonize me at any moment. I don't think a simple little animal is a dealer of bad luck when he crosses someone's path. However, this little feline seemed from another world."Good morning, ladies," he caresses the animal's mane, "did you miss me?" he spoke to me, I guess because he saw my sister yesterday."Of course, my days were falling apart without you," I said in the most sarc
It had been a week since we lived in the old barn. Angie and I fixed it with the help of Nick and Caleb. Nathan had returned from Luna's house with some furniture. As it was a Japanese food restaurant, there was an oven and a horizontal freezer, but neither worked. Luckily the guys knew a little about engines and stuff so they tried to fix it.At the entrance where the metal shutter was, they had put the vehicles and further back they installed their exercise equipment that they brought from Luna. They spent their time training, while me, Angie and Nick tried to figure out what the numbers Nick discovered on the USB meant.I thought of theories of everything but none seemed logical. Thomas thought that maybe my grandmother might know something, that really opened my mind and it was like I had been slapped with reality. If she knew that Beckam was my biological father, maybe that's why she believed that she could protect us better than anyone.We'll go looking for her this afternoon, N
When we got to the meeting point, they were already there. There were no more than twenty people. Courtney was the first to approach.- How are the boys?"As always," Nathan replies reluctantly, "how did they manage to escape?"— If what you want to know is if someone saw us or followed us, the answer is no.It is clear that he was not in a good mood, nobody here was."Where shall we go now?""We're not sure it's the best, but it's a good alliance at the moment," I said.Courtney approaches me.— I brought you a present — he signals to one of them to open the car. Panther comes down and comes into my arms. I carry it and caress its black mane -. I figured you wanted it back."I was going to go get him as soon as I could," he purrs in my arms.We got into the cars and they followed us to meet Beckam and his people outside their lot. He got out of his vehicle and approached us with his hands kept in the pocket of his trench coat.“They didn't say help was a killer,” Courtney mutters bef
Challenging DadARIAWhen I told Angie everything, I thought she was going to yell at me and get mad at me for getting me into a fight I wouldn't win. Instead she just burst out laughing and flooded me with questions like, "How was she?" She even looked like she had gotten a little annoyed that she hadn't called her over to watch me wrestle."Nice Sister"The next day when we went to breakfast, surprisingly, none of the boys were in the dining room. That's weird, Caleb eats crap all day, not to mention Eddy who seems like all he lives for is chips.Angie also felt strange not seeing them but she covered it and sat at Heather and her friends' table while I went to get our breakfast. When I came back they were talking about the stupid fight with the stupid bitch."Now that's guts, girl!" Heather tells me proudly."I don't know how you're still alive." Morgan bites into a piece of toast."It was a pleasure." I bowed and handed my sister breakfast.— I saw that Courtney has a smashed nose
I took out a seal that I had saved and rolled her wrists quickly.I dropped him to the ground unconscious and turned to Ryder. The guy was all over him hitting his face like I had done with his partner. For a moment, I stared, a little beating wouldn't hurt that idiot, right?Well well, yeah.I jumped on the bed crumpling the red sheets I had. I kicked the man in the head and he fell flat on the ground. Ryder got up half-limping. I walked around the guy and wrapped the other band around his wrist."You were late," she reproaches me.— Sorry, next time I'll wait until they break your nose.His nose was horrible, I didn't stop to look at it for a long time and it seems that he felt uncomfortable touching it to check how bad it was.We turned and saw the men we came for hanging from chains attached to the ceiling, barely four inches from their feet and the floor. Both were wet, bruised and looked exhausted, one was unconscious. We free them and help them sit on the ground.- Are you okay
I let out a scream and looked at him even more offended than before, double, triple. It was clear that no matter how hard she tried, she didn't know how to be a dad. I tried to reopen the door, but it was stuck, so I rolled the glass down and had my head out when he grabbed a fistful of my sweatshirt and jerked me back to my place. He fastened my seatbelt so fast that I couldn't struggle and he shot it, breaking it making it impossible for me to open it."And you stay still!" He put away his weapon and I was about to start crying with rage. I crossed my arms and stared at the seat in front where the driver was very focused on driving without looking to the sides as if he was going to derail at any moment. Unbearable, that's what you are. Just like your mother. They can never do what you ask of them. They always have to get their way one way or another and when they don't, there they are with their five-year-old tantrums! He raised my glass and settled into his seat, continuing to mum
My anger was rising and they kept adding fuel to the fire. Requested by Courtney or not, you could tell they had a grudge against me and nothing I was saying was made up for them.They went on and on. Saying and wishing us things that being women made me more angry that they tell us, because I expected at least a hint of empathy. However, there they were imploring that some man give us what we deserved so that we would learn our place in the organization.The anger was already building up inside me and the last thing I heard Sheila say, the very empathetic Sheila, was the drop that escaped from the ocean, because that was what I could bear, not a full glass, an entire ocean.—When they rape and kill them, they're going to hang their bodies so that even when they're dead they'll continue to pay their lesson.And I clouded over How could they say something like that? Wishing someone their own necrophilia is inhumane. Cruel and disgusting.Sheila didn't have much time to react as I lunge
After three tries, no one answered, I only had two numbers to call, Nathan and Eddy, but no one picked up the damn phone. Tried Courtney and neither."Now what?" I asked.He looked at me and shrugged. They were supposed to tell us what to do. We can't just go off and leave them all down there."We have to get them out," we said in unison. We frowned at each other for having thought the same thing, so she cleared her throat. We are alone, we have to improvise until they communicate with us."Yeah," improvising wasn't something I liked, but I was good at doing things on impulse and getting away with it, so I would have to use all my intellect to not screw up.We tried to remove the gate, with the noise we were making the children noticed and got scared. We heard an explosion and we stopped."They said the place would explode when they were all out," I said annoyed, they didn't even pick up the phone and now they're throwing an explosion."Ryder doesn't have patience, we have to get them
