Arrow-
When I awoke the window was open and it was just after sunrise. I rolled over to look at the close beside me bed it read 8:30 a.m. I sighed and layed back down.
"You know there's food down stairs if you want some. Raven is acctually a pretty good cook."
Said Cass.
"What the hell are you doing in here!" She screamed.
He held his hands up in surrender "I was only comeing to wake you up."
She grabbed a small pillow that she'd thrown to the side last night and threw it as hard as she could at the boy. It hit him in the face right on the nose. When the pillow fell to the floor a few drops of blood landed beside it. Cass grumbled something and walked out the door slamming it behind him.
She pulled the sheets aside and sat up. This was going to be a long day. She stood up and ignored the pink blouse and ugly green pants and went over to one of her now closed bags. She desided on a blood red blose with the sleeves drooping down at the wrists. She also wore dark blue skinny jeans with black flats that made her feet look more delicate. She went into the bathroom where she'd set up her jewelry box. She put on her lucky light pink and white bracelet. After 10 minutes she was headed out the door with jasmine earrings showing her family crest and a small roman symbol necklace with a serpent through the middle.
When she entered the kitchen no one was there. She did however see the plate of food left on the table along with a tall glass of milk. She sat down carefully afraid this might be some trick. After a few seconds she deemed it safe enough to eat. She took the first bit of the powdered pancakes with strawberry sand bananas and closed her eyes in delight. "Cass was right you really are a good cook Raven." She said once she'd swallowed. The Raven from yesterday landed just beside her one the back of her chair. She raised an eyebrow at the creature. A silver mist appeared just behind her and as it cleared Raven in a bright blue tunic and old fashioned pants. "Glad you like it. Cass said the strawberrys wern't fresh enough." He said leaning over my shoulder.
"How! How on earth did you do that." Said Cass now sitting at the right end of the table.
I only laughed and then replied to Raven's question "no they were great. How did you know I hate syrup on my pancakes?"
"Took a wild guess."
"Well good morning Arrow how did you sleep." Came a voice from behind.
Already knowing who the voice belonged to. "Just fine thank you Ash."
When he took a seat in front of me he was frowning. "What did you just say?"
"I said that I slept fine and then I thanked you." I smiled innocently at him.
"You herd our conversation last night didn't you?" He said with a amused smirk on his face.
"Mmmm yes I suppose I did."
"Great then you know the plan for today."
"Yeah here's the thing about that. I will only go if someone explain this to me other wise I stay right where I'm at."
"Ha! Your going to stay here? That's suside. Once Vince gets his hands on you he will kill you." Said Cass from the kitchen counter now pileing food onto his plate.
"I thought you said you didn't like the strawberrys."
He frowned at me then started grumbling to himself as he put more food onto his plate.
"So you are willing to die over the fact of not knowing?"
"Men have died for worse." I said almost mute.
Ash gave me wired look and then look at the table.
"Just like her father."
This made everyone's head shoot up and look at Cass.
"What. Stop that." He tried to leave through the back door most likely realizing that he was in danger.
Just as his first foot was out the door I was on my feet running after him. He disappeared into the tree line just as I reached it. The two men who were left behind appeared beside me.
Ash looked at me then at the tree line then back at me.
"Your not thinking of going in after him are you?"
Before I could responded a loud voice came from the trees. "She won't have the chance."
A big man who was most likely in his 40s steped out of the brush. He smiled at me then clucked his tongue. Before I could begin deciphering the gesture four hands grabbed me from behind and it wasn't Ash and Raven.
"Take her to van. It's waiting out front.
