"ah, you meanie, I ain't that bad" I growl at him, no I'm not a wolf.
"well you might have gotten better anyway" he shrugs, "we didn't introduce ourselves yet...I'm Chase" he pauses, "I'm 19 years old, you can call me chay or Ace, I don't really mind"I can also call you anytime- So he's one of the youngest Chase Cole huh..well he is damn fine, but I don't feel sexually attracted to him, like at all"She already knows who I am" hw waves his hands in the air, like he just doesn't care, "whatever, Ajax Crawford..I'm 22, you can call me Aj."Oh feisty..."I'm Alec Baxter and I'm 21..you can call me Al."Damn he is fine too, he was one of the guys who saved me back there and also then kidnapped me."I'm Eli connors, I'm 22, you also can call me E."Damn, he is so fine, I would so love to hit him up. Omg what am I thinking?"I'm jace Morgan, I'm 18, I'm also the youngest, you can call me jay."Nicee but I wouldn't date somebody who is 2 years younger than me, maybe who knows?"I'm Nathan Morgan, I'm 21 years old. You can call me Nate."Ooh la laaa he is one hot brother.Then the girl speaks up"I'm Ashley, I'm 20, you can call me anything you want, or just ash..." she has a cute voice. She is also kinda cute."I think I'll just call you anything you mine" I say to her, watching her blush and the guys have confused expressions, "very funny. I knew somebody would say that.." she replies."well you kinda deserved it." Nathan says to her.Ashley pulls her tongue out at Nathan, they seem to be close...It also seems like Ashley and Eli are from England, because they are British, is that stereotyping? Probably.Then all of a sudden, Eli pipes up"you're British aren't you?" He asks me was he reading my mind?"yeah, well originally. I er moved to la when I was 14..." I say to him.When that bastard made me move."what made you come to LA?" He asks me. "er erm. Well I had this job and I had to move away to work..." I reply to him.Wasn't all a lie, I did have a job, but not legally."well what was your job? You seem like a good girl. Nothing bad I hope?" Ashley asks me. Totally not bad."Wait, you mean you think she was like what? An assassin, a killer? Hah." Chase says to her."well maybe. Also she was 14 when she got this 'job'." She tells him. "well er, I was in a group called Mantian have you heard of it?" Their eyes widen at the name."how old are you?" Ajax asks me. "20" I reply. "yeah seems about right, how long did you work for them for?" He asks me."3 years." He looks surprised. But I don't know what at."wait, who is Mantian?" Chase asks anybody. Ashley replies "its basically an assassin group. The ringleader basically finds kids that have potential. And then they train them to kill people.""correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't come off as a type of person to ya know" he gulps, "kill people." Jace says to me, getting up from the chair he was at and comes closer to me."I didn't have a choice. I was 14, I was a minor. And where I came from and my background. I had to do it." I don't look fazed when he comes over to me and comes close to my face. "what was your background?" Eli asks, he asks a lot of bloody questions.Jasper and I look at each other, I look back at Eli."My siblings and I went to a care home after our parents died, and after like 7 months this guy legally adopted me. And then I went to training for 3 months. Then I was an assassin..." I say to everyone. Jace then tries to put his hand on my cheek, but I grab it and stare at him. There is a silence for a couple of seconds before Ashley speaks up."how many people did you kill?" Damn really that question."Ashley...." Jasper gives her a stern look. She looks bemused and smirks "what? I just wanna know if she actually knows!""232." I reply. Still staring at Jace. He pulls his hand away from my grip. Rubbing it with his unhurt hand.Ashley smirks "well well well. Little lamb over here is actually a lion."I'm not a lamb."why did you kill them?" Ajax asks meI shrug again "different reasons. I know some of them were innocent.""were you getting paid?" He asksI don't like this. "why are you asking me so many questions? Go shove it!""Dahlia!" Jasper shouts.But I don't care, "No, Jasper. You guys saved me from getting kidnapped but then also kidnapped me. What do you want with me?""....you are valuable, Dahlia." Ajax says getting comfy in the chair he is now sitting in."no! Don't call me that.""DJ, look. You've killed people and their families want pay back. Or in some case they want closure." Ajax then says to me."- because of that, other gangs have been into it and want to find you. " Eli adds."why?" I ask them all, "so they can make use of you...then kill you.." Eli says."aren't you gonna do that?" I ask them"we aren't like that." Eli says, but they are a gang...and they kidnapped me."but obviously we want to use you. You have skills." Alec says. Great just great." how do you know that?" I ask, but I know why."when you threw the knives. You did it with precision." Alec says looking somewhat happy?"I'm not killing people. Or hurting people. I did that. I don't do it now" I say to them through my teeth."we can't promise that. But its up to you. Anyway that's it for this meeting. You can do what you want now." Ajax says getting up from the chair giving it a shake of his head"DJ, come with me..." Alec says, so I follow him it couldn't get me kidnapped again. "where?" I ask as I catch up to him."we are going out!" He says with a smile, "mhmm""can I come?" Eli asks getting a "no" from both of usDahlia 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
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
