The god complex (Book one of The Devil's Daughter trilogy)

Chapter nineteen.

We leave the rotting building, Daye sulks out and Night swaggers out, his mind somewhere not here. I look at them both and my heart jumps. I can't do this, not now not ever.

"Night, Daye. I- I'm sorry but I can't do this. I have the fate of the world on my shoulders right now and I'm too damn busy to worry about boys and the stupid drama that goes with that. So I need the two of you to get over yourselves and help me with saving humanity and everyone. Alright?"

They eye eachother then Night springs on me and kisses me, he smashes into my mouth, splitting my lip and blood gushes into my mouth and his. He pulls away from me and smirks at Daye, I wipe the blood from my mouth and sucker punch him in the jaw.

"What the hell did I just say?" I stand over him and seeth with anger, he never listens. I look at Daye and he cups my face and kisses me slowly, he slides his tongue into my mouth and I bite down. I shove him away and walk away as he screams in pain. "ARE YOU HAPPY NOW YOU DIPSHITS!? I told you I don't have the time for this." I stalk off as the guys regroup and think about what they've done, I find a sign and it says we're on the outskirts of Roswell New Mexico, I hate Mexico.

When I was younger and I was still cool with my dad we would travel to Mexico and pick up lost souls, though a lot of them could see us coming. They would scream and throw holy water at us and we stood there upset and wet, we left them but we also left a little enchantment that would cause them to be short of breath when they saw us walk by. A lot of them sold their souls to protect their families but no matter what they bargined to get into 'Heaven' my dad would give a small smile and send them away with their family. He was a good man back then, back before my mother left us.

"FIRE!" The guys call for me, it could be easy to slip away and leave them out here to wander and look for me, as much as I wish I could do that, they would probably try to kill eachother. I sit on my legs and wait for them to find me, it takes them longer to locate me then I thought it would. "What was the deal about the two freaks and 'all will be forgiven?'" Daye looks at Night with an itensity in his eyes it makes my stomach churn. I stand and brush the dirt from my legs and walk toward the road. "Wait," Night grabs my arm and spins me to face him. I turn my face and bite my lip as he tries to speak to me. "I'm sorry about that back there Fire. It was immature and rude, I apologize." My eyes prickle with tears but I refuse to cry in front of him or Daye, I nod and walk on.

"Fire, I'm sorry too."

"YOU, don't you apologize to me. You need to apologize to Chaos." I wheel around and face Daye, my anger bubbles out of me and I'm pretty sure I would be on fire right now if I weren't out in Roswell New Mexico. "You don't get it Daye. It bothers me that I don't know anymore. I don't know how I feel but I know how Chaos feels. So save your apoigies for her, you'll be the one who tells her everything." My face feels hot as I feel Night's eyes on me, he knows now, they both do.

"Fire," Night speaks finally after we've traveled about 200 feet since I told them the truth.

"Yea," my word hangs in the air, heavy. It suffocates me.

"Where are we going and how long is it going to take us to get there?" He shuffles beside me as Daye trails behind us.

"Texas. I have friends there. Or I used too." It was a long time ago since I've been to Texas, or Dallas at the least. "I was there with my mother, she has family there, or she did at one time." We continue on in silence, it takes us all day and when the sun is starting to set we finally get to Hobbs, right near the Texas border. "We'll stay here for the night." I book us a motel room, two actually. The guy's room is on the other side of the motel while mine is smack dab in the middle. "Good night." Night stops and looks at me and waits for me to say his name but I say neither of their names, I shut the door and try not to watch as his heart sinks into his shoes.
