Shadow

Chapter 6

I'm so excited. We're at the mansion. I honestly thought that they deserve an off the grid vacation. I kidnapped them, of course.

They all get out of the car. Tomas stands beside me.

"You, have wonderful taste, love." he says.

"I know."

He laughs a little bit. I like when he laughs.

"So, before you go in. Just let me say a few things. Pick rooms, then when we come down in the morning just tell us where. Gym and artillery rooms are in a secret building within the mansion. Its down the hall past the kitchen to the right. The code is 564897. I know you're both still pretty pissed at me. Get some sleep." I tell them.

Everyone goes in, but Roman.

"Well, darling. how do you feel?" He asks me gingerly.

"I'm better. But scared." I say honestly.

"It'll be alright." He says. Walking in the mansion.

"I think I'll explore this huge arse mansion that I will be living in for the coming months." He says.

"Okay."

I walk in, and Aya sits at the dining table with her head on the table.

"Natalia, we're all going swimming. Now." Aya says.

"Finee..." I say.

We all head up to our rooms, unpacking and everything.

There are three floors to the mansion.

I'm on the end of the hall, Tomas is parallel from me. And Roman is beside be, and Aya is parallel from him.

I get my swimsuit on, and but on my long cover up over it. I feel so cold. Everyone else comes out.

And we all head to the pool. Before we go out. Aya grabs a bottle of vodka from the cabinet. I had my people stock up the house before we got here.

We get to the pool, and haven't said a word to each other.

Out of nowhere, Roman pushes me in. I still have my cover up on ugh. Everyone just starts laughing. Then, Aya pushes Roman and Tomas in. Haha, payback.

Tomas and Roman start play fighting, and I just sit and laugh.

Then Roman says, "We're playing chicken. Aya get your ass in here. Put the vodka down."

"Finee..." She says.

Aya gets on Romans shoulders. I get on Tomas's.

We start, and I end up getting pushed off, everyone starts laughing.

"Ok ok. We're playing truth or dare." Aya declares.

"What is this? Highschool."

Aya turns to me, with a cold face, "Yes it is, Natalia. Now take a drink of the vodka, and get YOUR ass over here."

By the time we start, we're all hammered.

Aya says, "Ok. Natalia. Truth or dare?"

I roll my eyes, "Dare."

She tells me, "I dare you, to kiss Tomas."

"Whatever," I swim up to Tomas, we both start blushing. He puts his hands around my waist holding me up, and we kiss. Probably longer than we should.

Roman just sits there, with his back to the wall staring at me.

"Ok. Now, Aya." I say.

"Truth or dare?"

She picks truth.

"Whose your favorite one of us?" I ask smiling.

She smiles, "You of course, asshole."

"We're playing Marco Polo. Now." I yell.

"Whose it?" Aya asks.

"First person to ask." Roman says.

Aya curses under her breath as she spins three times.

Since we all are mercenaries, our whole style is stealth. Our missions depend on our ability to stay quiet. However, we all are drunk.

I stay in the far left corner. The boys stand in front of me.

"Marco!" Aya yells.

"Polo," We yell back.

Aya comes to my corner, the boys starting slowly walking through the water. So, quickly before Aya can touch me, I duck underwater, and grab Roman's foot pulling him under. Then, I swim away to the opposite side. Aya gets him.

He comes up bursting with laughter. "How the hell did you manage to do that?" Tomas asks.

"Brother, you're it." Aya says smiling. I move to the opposite side.

"Marco," He yells.

"Polo," We all yell back.

But oh my gosh he's coming for me.

I move slowly, and end up behind him whispering polo. He turns around and grabs me before I can get away. I start laug
