Chapter 16: The Majestic 12

"Feel any better?" Thomas questioned Esme as she was nibbling on a piece of toast. He eyed her worriedly, thinking back to the event from last night.

"Yes." She told him truthfully. It was a rough night for her, but from thinking and then crying into Thomas' arms until she fell asleep she felt much better.

"Good.  So..."  He started, playing with a half empty glass in his hand as he looked down at the glass then to her again.

"There's a big fancy party going on in this like mansion and I was thinking we should crash it."  He suggested, his smile filled with mischief.

Esme didn't say anything as she looked at him, biting into her piece of toast.  "Do you know what kind of food is going to be there?"  She asked softly.

"I heard there was going to be cake."  He gave her a kind smile, already knowing with that one word she would be in.

"Sounds good to me."  A small smile played on her lips as she stood up, grabbing her plate and bringing it over to the sink.

"Wait. Hold on." Esme turned to him as she turned on the water to clean her plate. "This is going to be the second night in a row that you're getting all dressed up."

"Don't make me change my mind." He told her seriously as he made his way out of the kitchen.  Esme shook her head slightly, letting out a small giggle as she started to dry the plate off with a towel as she listened to the radio next to her.

"Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows
Everything that's wonderful is what I feel when we're together"

A knock sounded throughout the house as Esme set the plate down and made her way to the front door, wiping her wet hands on her red dress slightly to try and dry them off.  She opened the front door and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I thought milk delivery's were on Mondays?"  She questioned.

"Come on, join in, everybody
Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows
Everything that's wonderful is sure to come your way"

The man reached behind him and pulled out a gun, aiming it at her, Esme's eyes widened as her hand left the grip of the door in shock, her gaze never leaving the gun.  The sound of a gun going off echoed through her ears as the bullet made its way towards her.

Before it could reach her a long metal blade came right in front of her, the bullet ricochet off of it and was sent in the wall.  Thomas was on the other end of the sword, his eyes showing hatred through his black hood before he quickly kicked the door shut, freeing one of his hands from the sword and grabbing Esme's arm, pulling her to another part of the house.

"Come on!"  He told her, still keeping a tight grip, not wanting to lose her.  More gunshots went off and he pulled her down behind a couch.

"You know what. I think I'm going to stop answering doors from now on. I'm getting real tired of being met with a gun."  She hissed, punching the ground below her slightly.

"Everything that's wonderful is what I feel when we're together
Brighter than a lucky penny
When you're near the rain just disappears, dear"

"I got this.  Stay down."  Thomas told her and quickly stood up. 

"Thomas!  No!"  Esme shouted and tried to reach for him, but failed. 

Thomas made his way to one of the men, flipping his sword quickly before blocking himself as a bullet was sent his way. He blocked a few more before taking a step forward and swinging at the man, successfully cutting his blade through the man's arm.  His white sleeve turning red.

"Get out of my house."  Thomas told the men angrily, his hands tightening on the end of his blade, knuckles cracking slightly.

The three men just stared at him, two of them keeping their guns drawn while another one swiftly punched him across the face, before he had time to react.  Blood fell down from his now cut lip, letting out a small chuckle, wiping it away.  "You are so screwed."

Esme quickly crawled away from the couch and kicked her foot under one of the men's legs, sending him to the ground.  The two fought the men, more bullets flying in the air, piercing into walls, pictures, furniture.

"Come on, join in everybody
Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows
Everything that's wonderful is sure to come your way"

Thomas sword was suddenly sliding across the room and he punched the closest one in the face while Esme jumped on another's back, wrapping her arms around his head, twisting it in an unpleasant way.

"You know how long it took me to get those pictures on the wall?!"  She yelled.

The fighting continued and in the distance you could hear the sound of police sirens in the back, but everyone was trying to kill each other they didn't pay mind to it.  Esme was flung off the man, her back hitting the wall behind her.  Thomas quickly grabbed the gun that was pointed in front of him, and moved it just in time before another bullet shot through.

"POLICE!"

That's when everyone stopped moving and the three men in white looked at each other. One said something in a different language, before they made their way out of the back door.

Thomas and Esme looked at each other, a mix of surprise and confusion. He went over and helped Esme up, before going over to his sword and gently kicking it under the couch.

"Come out with your hands up!" The Officer on the speaker announced.

"Oh, great." Thomas sighed, taking his hood off.

The two made their way to the front door where it was already open, three police cars with their lights on, surrounded the street where there were a couple that were visible with their guns drawn. Along with a few neighbors peaking from their front window or on the sidewalk.

The two looked at each other, hands raised before they slowly walked out of the house and onto the front lawn.

"'Cause you're in love
You're in love
And love is here to stay"

Thomas closed the door behind them while one of the officers said something that they didn't quite catch.

"Don't shoot! Don't shoot!"

Thomas and Esme moved their heads to the voice where they saw Stewart going as fast as he can out of his front door and towards one of the police cars.

"Stay back sir."  The Officer told him and Stewart waved him off.

"I'm the one who called and these two are the owners of the house."  Stewart told him.

"Where are the intruders?!"  Stewart called out to the two.  "Do I need to get my gun?!"  He asked, ready to shoot anyone that tried to hurt his neighbors.  Not in his neighborhood, not on his watch.

"I love that old man."  Thomas shook his head slightly, chuckling.

~~~

Diego, Lila, and Five were crouched down behind a car, looking at the guests entering the large house as Diego told them what their mission was.

"What the hell is he talking about?" Lila turned to Five confused.

"Find the old man and get out fast." He answered, only giving her a glance.

"That's what I said." Diego turned towards them, a bit confused why Five said the same thing as him.

"On me." Diego stood up slightly and made his way behind another car, Lila turning to Five who was looking at her with an unamused look.

"After you.....what I can't be polite?"

"Cut the crap. All right? My dimwitted brother might buy your bullshit, but I don't trust you for a second." Five told her seriously.

"O ye of little faith."

"Stick it up your ass." Five gave her a smile that read I'm going to kill you.

Lila gave him one last look before following Diego, and then Five following right behind. Five looked at the front door, seeing no one notice them, then the three snuck in the back.

"Don't you think we should have stayed home and cleaned up?" Esme asked as her and Thomas made their way to the front of the large house.

"After all of that. I do believe we need some time to relax." He told her seriously as the man at the front door stopped them.

"Names?" He asked and Thomas just gave him an innocent smile, his eyes flickering to the paper the man was holding.

"Mr and Mrs Little."

The man stepped aside and Thomas gestured Esme to walk in first, him following right behind. "So we're married now?" Esme questioned, a smile appearing on her lips as Thomas looped his arm with hers.

"If you want to darling. All you have to do is ask." Thomas said sarcastically, grabbing two glasses of champagne that passed and handed one to her.

"And can I just say that white dress does you well." He took a sip out of his glass, while Esme shook her head a bit.

"Look whose talking. Two nights in a row I get to see you in a suit." She cocked her head to the side.

"Don't get used to it." He played with his tie slightly as the sound of a melodic mariachi song was playing close by.

"I'm going to see if they have a cheese plater. I'll be right back." He told her, backing away then making his way through the crowd of people.

Esme turned around, playing with a small fallen curl of her hair as she walked through, passing some people, taking a sip out of her drink, hearing the song play as she looked at the people walking by her.

Diego smiled down at Lila as he danced with her slowly, his gaze slowly moving up and his smile falling from his face as he suddenly stopped dancing with Lila.

Lila looked confused, looking from his face then to the direction that he was looking in.

"Well, you are easily distracted." Lila told him seriously.

"It can't be." He whispered, his eyes never leaving the figure as he let go of Lila.

"Esme?" He whispered as he made his way out of the room, leaving Lila and towards his sister. A few people moved in front of Diego blocking his view and making him stop, once they passed, Diego was staring at an empty wall.

He looked around a bit before he closed his eyes for a moment and sighed. "Now I'm seeing things." He opened his eyes and turned around, stopping in place.

"Mom." Was all that left his lips.

Esme looked at the painting on the wall when Thomas came up behind her, chewing on a piece of cheese. "Want one?" He questioned. "It was like a palace of cheese in there. I love it."

"No thanks." She hummed happily as he set the plate down and grabbed her champagne glass from her hand.

"Hey.  What are you-"

"Come on."  He told her softly, grabbing her hand and gently pulling her into the room where the dancing was held.

He gave her a small spin before clasping one of his hands in hers and his other on her hip, bringing her close to him as they swayed to the relaxing music.

Esme wrapped one of her arms around his neck, while she gently held his hand with the other, she looked up at him with a smile of an angel, humming quietly to the music.

Thomas gazed down at her, looking at her in the most loving way, as if she was the only person in the room. 

"Want to do anything special tomorrow?  Maybe crash another party?"  He questioned.

"Sounds fun, but I'm pretty sure we're going to be spending all day tomorrow cleaning the house."  She gave him a serious look.

"That's no fun."  He pouted slightly.

"How do we know those men won't come back?  Who even were they?  For all we know they could be here right now."

Five grabbed the back of one of the mans shirt before he through him out the window, the man slamming on the grass below.

Five gave the man a look before walking pass Lila, looking out the window where he saw his father and Grace.  He wiped the blood from his face before teleporting off.

Lila quickly followed after him while Diego fought off the two, kicking one in the chest and slamming the one from behind in the wall.

"Oh, yeah, mofo."  Diego looked at the last one standing, his hair in his face.

"It's just you and me.  Show me what you got."

"And if they do come again.  I won't let them hurt you."  Thomas looked down at her, pulling his one hand away from her hand and onto her cheek.

"I will not let anyone hurt you Esme.  I promise."  He whispered and she just stared up at him, before gently placing her lips onto his.

"I love you."  She told him once they pulled away.

"As do I."  He held her tightly and dipped her down, making her laugh.

**well. Well.  This now answers who her love interest is.  I know some of you don't like it. But deal with it. She never was gonna get one until I've decided during season three. Haha. They're cute together. Like *chef kiss*

Anyways. Here's some questions from last chp/ pms. I prefer you just ask in chapters because I don't really check pms. Also. There's memes now at the end of each chapter. Because memes are wonderful.**

Are Thomas and Esme together:
YES!😍

Whose Sharon Tate:
My heart. She was an American actress/ model in the 60s. So yesterday marked the 51 years since Sharon Tate, her unborn son, and others were brutally murdered by The Charles Manson Cult. There was a gif from her last chapter and my profile is all her, because I've always been fond of her.

What's your favorite movie:
Oh, dear. I love movies but "The Lost Boys" is my favorite.

Haha. No. I wrote so many throughout the years, but I deleted them all because they were cringe.
