Chapter 16


I tuck the unnamed boy in my bed, and wipe the drool from his parted lips with my thumb. When I walked in Hunter was passed out on the couch, I didn't want to wake him up. I wrote a quick note to everyone in the pack to look after the kid and take care of his injuries and not make fun of his talking quirk.

Swiftly I climb onto the roof and watch as the clouds pass the sun slowly. Wow I must have all the time in the world if I'm just going to watch clouds pass by and wait for someone to get me. Dylan and Brook walk into the house followed by Wolf and Eden. I hope they look after that kid, I'm not too worried bout my health. Them, one the other hand, I know they won't stand a chance against Autumn and his flunkies. I sigh as an image of the pack, excluding me, smiling. At least now I know they'll be happy if I suddenly stopped breathing. If my heart suddenly stopped beating. That way I know that I can everything and everyone and have no regrets.

"But you look like someone who would have a sibling." Dylan pipes up, I sigh sometimes he can be such an idiot,

"That's because I did. He was going to be twenty this year." Brook sighs, wait- she did?

"Did Autumn get to him before death?" Hunter yawns, I wouldn't be surprised if Autumn did or if he died by his own hand. No one wants to live in a place like this and watch your family suffer,

"No, suicide. He hung himself in our house two years ago, it was exactly three months before I met Hunter." She chokes, I take it that she's crying and the boys' eyes are widening due to shock.

"I'm sorry." Eden mumbles, I chuckle dryly, what for? You're not the one who killed him. You're not the one who came up with these rules. You're too nice Eden. Nice people don't live in parts of town like this.

There's a crash downstairs, I ignore it and continue to glaze out at the Grey sky. There's talking and more talking. I clench my fists and jump off the roof and onto the steps that link my apartment and road together, I'll go back in a few. I'm not in the mood for rubbish. I kick an empty can and it accidently hits a homeless man, he glares at me and happily glare back to him and throw one of my throwing knives just short of his neck to scare him off. He stumbles away and I take the knife to put into my back pocket of my ripped trousers.

Damned rich people buying ripped jeans for alotta cash when there's people wearing their trousers until its basically formed one of those lingerie that the wives wear to pleasure their husband or partner or whatever. I shiver in disgust; all the food you can buy in Cheney is probably the equivalent to a rich person's breakfast. Damned humans don't know how to use money.

****

I hold my ear to the apartment door only to hear Dylan and Hunter cursing under their breath and Brook's silent tears. Wait... where's Eden? I slam the door open furiously to see a bustard clad in white making a move on Eden who has tears streaming down his face. WHY AREN'T THEY DOING ANYTHING?! SHIT! That must mean we're surrounded. I glare at the bastard,

"Long time no see." He smirks at me and releases Eden, I snap my eyes to the shivering boy. Brook recklessly runs to him and holds him close, I sigh he's going to be okay.

"Don't talk to me you bastard." I shoot a pointed glare at the smirking rich man,

"D-dude y-you know HIM?!" Dylan shouts overwhelmed, I ignore his outburst. This isn't time to get distracted,

"Is that any way to talk to your dad?" he taunts, I spit at his face and he scowls at me,

"Oh please, you were never a person who I would call my dad. The moment you walked from our life I would never let you in. Mum was too good for you." I spit,

"Still calling the whore you're mum, huh." My eyes dilate at him, how dare he, "What happened? Cat got your tongue?" he glowers, his voice is filled with anger, rage, bloodlust. Just like a hungry lion,

"Well, you are the one who raped her and used her as one of your fucking sex toys. What do you expect, do you seriously think I'm going to let it go and not give you a painful death?" I cackle rhetorically,

"What you say doesn't matter because I'm the one who's going to be giving you a painful death. I hope you have fun in the torture chambers in Shore-Meadow." He laughs, he sends a pointed look to Eden, "I'll also be taking him. He looks like he could be of use."

"What? For your entertainment you mean?" I snap,

"Yes exactly." He shoots back. I throw a throwing knife at his shoulder in one swift movement but he catches it in between his pointer finger and middle finger then drop it to the ground with a clang. Slowly he saunters to me until the point where his face is so close to mine that I can feel his warm breath on my face, "I'll enjoy breaking you my son. Throughout this whole game you've played all the wrong moves. However, even though your first strike was powerful you failed to follow it up with another just as strong move. You're weak. You'll never be able to protect anyone." As he said those words to me, time seemed to have stopped.

I'm weak.

Yes, yes you are weak.

But I can kill an army single handily.

He means your resolve.

Resolve?

We have no purpose in life.

Oh I see...

"You're just another weak loser. You have nothing and can't do anything. You think you can kill me, don't make me laugh." He spat in my face,

"Well sad for you I'm the best god damn fucking loser there is." I smirk, "And just saying you haven't seen the world from my view so don't tell me I'm wrong. I know exactly what you'd do but I relied on the wrong information that you fed. I was stupid to do that. I should've stayed and kicked your sorry ass that probably has a butt plug in it seeing as how you like all that kinky shit." I curse at him; I haven't sworn in so long... my mum would be disappointed in me. I broke another promise...

"Please you are just the king on the dark side. As soon as I get rid of you it's game over. There will be no more protest and revolts. When the king dies it's game over, you are aware of that right?" we both smirk at each other,

"Of course I did you kinky shit." I see from the corner of my eyes that Hunter is trying not to laugh, I continue to stare into Autumn's light grey eyes that are exactly the same shade of grey as mine, I nod at him. I knew it would come to this. I'm just surprised that he knows what I'm thinking.

"Well do you have any last words? Any words you want to tell your little pack before you have to leave." The bastard looks down at me, I sigh and look at the four human members of the pack, then I look at Wolf who turns his head away, I smile sadly.

"I'm sorry if you found me creepy, strict or just a little shit overall... but you know I don't care. I wasn't made to entertain everyone. It was slightly less boring when you guys stayed here and we had the pack, but either way I was going to disband the group and live back in my birth town with my uncle. Seller of weapons by day, serial killer by night." I chuckle dryly, "don't bother by calling yourselves my friend because I don't have any friends or family, I've learnt that. And don't you dare say you want to understand me because that isn't possible. No one can and will understand me. Only those who have been through the same pain will truly under-stand." A single tear streaks down my cheek and drops onto the floor, "A piece of advice for the future to my student," I look at Dylan who's trying to hold back his tears, "You're a lil shit. I always would end up comparing you to an idiot. But you're loyal and have guts. You're going to go far in life. But when someone kicks you down don't say why me. Say try me." I shoot a small smile to the taller male who breaks in tears,

"yes sir!" he mocks a salute and places his fist on his chest over his heart, I look at Brook,

"Brook you're a loner. It annoyed me how you wouldn't really talk to me but at the end of the day I didn't care. I enjoyed seeing you grow out of your shell. You shouldn't lie to yourself. That's the last thing you need to do. You're a blunt person on the outside but I can see how you're crumbling on the inside because of your brother's death." Brook nod and nervously smiles,

"Got it." She wipes the tears from her pale face, I look at Hunter who's putting on the muscle head strong man show,

"Dude seriously no tears?" I joke, he doesn't laugh, "Stop trying to analyse the situation, you know very well what's going to happen. Look after the three idiots and Wolf for me. Don't forget that you need to take off that mask sometimes and let your face breathe a bit. You might suffocate in that fake mask of yours and forget who you really are." I lick my dry lips,

"Dude you're such an idiot. We can fend for ourselves." He wipes his eyes and turns his head so I can't see his face,

"Yeah, yeah, but you love me." I smile, I look at my companion.

"Wolf," I whistle, he doesn't look at me, "Dude let me talk to you, I don't think I'll be seeing you after this and you need to know that you're the strongest outta this pack and you need to look after the light in here. Make sure they don't fall into the darkness. You are the symbol of our pack." Wolf barks and I grin at him; I look at Eden is trying his best to not cry. I feel guilt drowning my black heart as I see the tear stains on his pale face and his glossy eyes,

"I don't care what you say, I know we're going to see each other again and I'm willing to wait until the world ends." He smiles which I sadly return,

"Shut up and listen. When I said that Wolf is the strongest I wasn't wrong. But you can be stronger, your heart is the light that Wolf needs to protect. Even though your weak and poor, you have a heart of gold. I've always loved your smile since it reminded me of a person I loved so much. Just know that sometimes you have to fight if you want to win, take this situation for an example. I fought my best but I may have ended up losing. Only fucking fate can decide and I don't think fate like me so much." He looks down at his dark grey almost black shorts, and I smile.

"Is that it?" Autumn coughs, he's acting nice now but soon he's going to turn into a sadistic fuck,

"I have two requests." He raises an eyebrow,

"I'm listening..." the shit bag drawls on,

"Number one insure their safety, I'm giving up my life for theirs. Meaning you or your flunkies can't hurt any of them of the kid in my room that's passed out." He nods, "And number two..." I breathe in, "tell me each of their hair colours and eye colours. I want to know." All the members in the pack inwardly cringe, I can see their shock and surprised. They probably wanted me to say something noble or shit.

"Let's see, Hunter? Has brown hair and hazel eyes. Dylan has ginger hair and brown eyes. The crossdresser has dirty blonde hair and blue eyes finally the sheep has blond hair and green eyes." Autumn sighs, in disappointment. I have a look of satisfaction glued on my face,

"Let's go. I'm bored of this." The shit bag roughly grabs both of my wrist and cuff me, I shiver the cool metal contacts with my skin. I get dragged out and reluctantly I follow, this was the only way.

They're too weak to fight Autumn and his army so I can infer that they won't be coming to save me successfully, I sigh. More officers join Autumn and I, probably to make sure that no one tries to save me or kill me before my one sided trial and execution. The fact that the dick bag keeps on whispering bull shit about how much fun we'll be having when we get to base not only creeps me out but just plainly pisses me off. Is this what he was doing with mum? I cringe with disgust,

"Dude you need to seriously grow up because I'm a teenager and my hormones aren't raging as much as yours." I say after some time, he stops walking and I continue to make my way to wherever the car is stationed. It would take over a week to walk from shadow-cliffe to Shore-meadow, and these rich bastards can afford cars and are too lazy to walk the distance. I suddenly fall flat on my face, slowly I crawl back up and glare at Autumn as he smirks at me. I spit some blood on the side road and continue following the officers. Let's just finish all of this.

I can't wait to die
