'Arch'So that's his name. It suits him. Red or should I say, Arch frowned as the information sank in."Wait, w-what?" Arch and his twin brother chorused, their eyes wide with shock and confusion."I-I don't understand, Nana. You never told me I had a sibling. But, a twin, seriously?" Axel said."Why don't you come closer, Sweetheart. We need to talk" Arch's grandma said to Axel."Right" he mumbled before wheeling himself into the sitting room."Arch, darling. You should sit down. You look drained"Quietly, he sat down on the couch. "You three should stay calm while I get you guys something to drink. Girls, come with me"Tori and I followed her to the kitchen."Oh and please call me Theresa" Arch's grandma said. "Of course"We ordered pizza and soon we were all settled around the round table."You see, your mother had a lot of secrets. Some of them, she shared with me. You must understandRelated chapters

DAHLIA "What's with the look on your face?" Tori said, plopping down on the bed."What look?" I asked, feigning indifference."You look like you're daydreaming and there's a creepy smile on your face, Lia" she said, smiling.I rolled my eyes, biting down on my lip."You're being ridiculous" I said. "Tell me, what happened between you and Red?" She asked."What are you talking about?""Don't try to put on the 'I don't know what you're talking about' face" I let out a sigh."We kissed. Twice""Wow, that's quite the achievement" Tori said, smirking."Can you not say that? Lee would totally say the same thing you said. It's annoying" I said."He's my better half, we say similar things. Soon, you'll understand. But right now, let's face the real deal. Do you have feelings for Red?""Yes, I do. I was trying to fight it all along because I'm engaged. Being on

RED I let out a groan as I opened my eyes. My head was pounding and I felt a very intense nausea roll through my system. I slowly sat up on the couch, my head spinning."Hey, calm down. With how drunk you were last night, you're bound to have a horrible hangover" Lia said, placing a hand on my shoulder.I stared at her silently, afraid that if I tried to say anything, I would puke."I need- to use- the bath-room" I croaked, bile rising up my throat rapidly.She helped me up, steadying me as I swayed. She placed a hand on the small of my back as she led me to the bathroom. Tiredly, I got into the bathroom, puking my brains out until I felt so empty. "You should take your bath, you'll feel better" she said. My knees buckled and her eyes widened as I slid down the wall.She rushed to my side, placing her palm on my forehead. "Red, you're burning up" I closed my eyes, taking deep breaths. I felt aw

RED Lia had helped Vanessa to get cleaned up. She no longer looked like she'd just been dragged through a pile of stones but it didn't change the fact that she looked miserable. "Can I have a glass of water, please?" She said to Lee, her voice shaky and weak.I couldn't help but wonder what had happened to her. As far as I was concerned, Vanessa had always been Skull's favourite lady. Lee handed her a glass of water and I watched her trembling hands grip the glass tightly.Lee nudged me."We need to talk" he whispered."Alright" I muttered."You guys go ahead. I'll be fine" Vanessa said, bringing the glass of water to her split lips. Lee and I left the sitting room. Tori and Lia were sitting on the kitchen counter. "I know you guys have a lot of questions-" I said and Lia shook her head."Actually, we have tons of questions. Who is she? How does she know you two? How does she know that we're here?

DAHLIA "What the hell just happened?" Lee asked, looking very worried."He's burning up" I said, placing a hand on Red's forehead."Oh shit. I think I know what's wrong with him" Lee said, his eyes wide with panic. I watched him grab Red's arm and began to take off the bandage on his arm.We all let out a horrified gasp. His wound looked somewhat red and inflamed. "Okay, this is bad" Tori muttered."I can fix this but he'll need medicine" I said.Lee clenched his jaw."Tell me what you'll need. I'll get it" he said."Lee, you know it's risky" Vanessa said."So, what do we do? We let him die?" Tori spat, glaring at her."I was just going to say that he has to go with someone" Vanessa said, her face pale."I think we should tie her up and gag her. She won't be able to do anything, that way" Axel said, leaning against the wall. "Woah, you're actually.... standing" Lee sai

DAHLIA Panic invaded my mind when I realized that Red's temperature was skyrocketing. His breathing was strained and even in his unconsciousness, pain was evident on his face. Sharp tremors took over his body, it was terrifying.Axel walked in with the heated knife."He's worsening" I said, tears filling my eyes."Oh God" Axel breathed.I took the knife from him."Hold him down" I said and Axel nodded.I pressed the hot knife to his infected wound, tears threatening to spill.The door opened.Lee and Tori walked in, looking flustered."How bad is it?" Lee asked, taking out the drugs."Very bad. He's worsening" I said, wiping away the sweat on his chest.Lee paled, worry evident on his face.I managed to force the right dosage of the drugs into Red's mouth."How exactly do you know what drug to give him?" Lee asked."My brother, Nolan. He got into a brawl with so

RED "She was right all along" Lee said, letting out a sigh."She was" I agreed."I can't believe she did what she did" He said, watching Lia as she dressed Vanessa's burns. "She can be daring most of the time. You should know that" I shrugged."D'you think she's starting to feel something for Axel?"I smirked."Maybe? Who knows? After all, I was once in love with her. She's not so bad, Lee. She just has so many problems. She's angry with herself... angry at everyone else. She's not happy.... She's depressed" I said.Lee frowned, biting his lower lip."I guess everyone deserves a second chance" he said.Lia walked up to me, pressing a kiss to my forehead."How's Axel?" I asked."Oh, he's fine. He's exhausted and his neck is sore from being choked by some huge creature. That's what he told me anyway" "Huge creature? Huhn?" Lee said, shaking his head, amused."Axel has a thing for exaggeration

UNKNOWN "Boss, Silver Stone is here" Dagger, my new top assassin said to me.Bringing the glass of martini to my lips, I stared at him."Tell him to come in" I ordered. Dagger left my office and shortly returned with Stone."How's it going with that rebellious son of mine?" I asked.Trevor smirked."He has no idea what you're planning for him" "Good. Very good, Stone. Now, tell me, what are they planning to do?" I asked, rubbing my fingers together."For starters, they are planning to assassinate you in the most gruesome way possible"I chuckled."He underestimates me after all, doesn't he?" I said."Of course, he does. He wants you to come after him. He says he's sick of running""Tell me more" I demanded."He's going to have you cornered when you come after him. I think you shouldn't underestimate him, either""You can leave now" I said and he nodded, before leaving my office.I chuckled,

DAHLIA I tried moving my arms but failed since the ropes binding me was tight as hell. Skull had made sure of that. I groaned inwardly, trying to move my fingers. It was of no use, I couldn't get myself out of there. I let out an exasperated sigh. The door of the room opened and Trevor walked in. I heaved a sigh of relief when he began to untie me. "Here, use it only when it's necessary. Shoot to disarm, okay?" He said, placing a gun in my hands. "Go, find Red. I don't know where Skull is keeping him but you have to find him before it clocks twelve" Trevor said. I nodded and waited till he was gone before I sneaked out of the room. I just knew that I had to find Red as quickly as I could. I moved past some of the workers, my hood hiding my face from view. "Wait a minute, isn't that Dahlia Malone?" One of the men said and I froze."It's her, alright"Panicking, I increased my pace. One of them grabbed me from behind
