All Chapters of Rex (Book 5): Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"You like her!" I blurted it out, and immediately, Ares covered my mouth with his hand."Shh..." he whispers. "Want the whole world to know?"I removed his hand and smiled. "We are in the middle of the ocean, and our family is here. Why are you so worried?""Because..." he groans and drops his head on his arm, unable to explain.I chuckle."Okay, I'll zip my lips and wish to be punished by God if I break my promise," I made a cross over my heart. "So, when did you start liking her? I mean, no offense, little bro, you seem dense about girls. All you do is date idiots or weird ones.""I don't always date those kinds of girls," he says in defense. "And why are you always against me dating those girls? Do you have a grudge or something? So judgmental.""Okay, I'm sorry," I don't want him to think I'm nasty. "Of course, I'm worried you will never find a nice girl and settle down.""What are you, my mom?""Ares, I'm serious," giving him a firm look. I don't want to act like our mom, but I'm

Rex envelopes his arms around me, close after crying so much.The great and powerful Thea, the tomboy gangster with overalls of the playground, has never cried so much.Getting hurt wasn't much of a big deal when I was young. Scraping my knees, chipped tooth, and broken arms have always scared my parents, but not once did I cry from the pain.I always thought I had pain-resistant or felt numb at times, but now, I let out all those pains mixed in my emotions when it started to involve my brother and best friend.When they were kidnapped, I wasn't sure what emotion I should feel, but I felt that anger inside. It was pending for me to find the bastard and kill him. If it weren't for my brother stopping me, I would've been sent to juvie and spent my life repenting.At that time, I thought I was strong, but it was all for show. Whenever I fought with Ares, I would win the argument, but I noticed he had made it easy for me to punish him. Of course, he didn't want to hurt his big sister, but

Where did he come from?He was just ten feet away from where we were. How did he sneak up on us?I guess we were preoccupied and ignored him for a minute or two. Now we are fucked."Oh, do pray what you are about to do, senor?" He asked in a Colombian accent. "Now throw the gun there and slowly stand up."Rex did what the leader was told, threw the gun far from reach, and raised his hand as he slowly got up."That's it," the man smirked, then laid his eyes on me, giving me the jitters in my stomach. "You, señorita, come here."I looked at Rex and then slowly walked towards the leader. My heart is racing in fear."I swear if you fucking touch her, you are dead," Rex growls.The leader chuckles. "Don't worry; we won't hurt her or the girls. They are the ones we wanted.""What are you going to do with us?" I asked."It's not us who want you; the person who hired us told us to get the girls and kill the men, but he never told me how tactical you are," the leader says. "You guys are very s

We arrived at the island as the yacht hit the beach's edge.We all went down one by one, just scanning around, unaware of what to do on an uncharted island."Shit!" Terry cried as her phone was up in the air, trying to catch a signal. "Damn, signal.""What happened, Terry?" Seth asked."I was still on the phone with Kendall when the signal cut off," she hits the device. "Never happened before, and I'm pretty sure Kendall's gadgets never failed me.""There is nothing we can do," Rex announced. "We need to make shelter.""Why couldn't we stay at the yacht?" Seth suggested, offering a good option since the boat will keep us out of any rainfall and let us sleep on soft beds, not on rocks and sand."What yacht?" Logan thumbed his finger at the yacht thirty feet away from the beach.Seth went down on his knees and screamed in distress. Terry went to his side and hugged her man."Man, what are we going to do?" Liam asked."It would be easier if we had those lifeboats or our boards." His twin

"Are we there yet?" Seth groans and asks for the hundredth time.We decided to separate into a scouting group and a base group.Rex had suggested not to bring the whole group into the jungle if we don't go all missing.If we had communicated, it would have been easier to talk to each other. But for now, four scouts are in the jungle, and the rest stay at camp."Bro, for the last time, we are just scouting the island," I can tell by the tone of Liam's voice. He's annoyed."But we've been walking for hours.""We just left twenty minutes ago," I told him. "We aren't even that far from the beach.""Yeah, and my feet hurt already," Seth argues."You're just being a wuss." Liam snorts."I'm not." Trying to defend himself. Seth groans. "It's just too quiet here. What are we looking for anyway?" There is nothing here on this lonely island except the plants, the mosquitoes, and the animals."Rex broke a large banana leaf that was in the way of our path. "We don't know much about this island, S
