Diffrent Now

Chapter Thirteen -The Trade

Lily's Pov

There was lots of arguing and debating over weather or not I should trade my life for Ethan's. Eventually everyone realized that I would give my life weather they helped me or not so instead came up with a plan to keep me safe. Within the zipper of my jeans was a tracker that they would use to find me. This took a lot of work to find and put in but my the time it was time for the trade everything was organized. I had put the bakery and studio in April's name in case anything went wrong. 

Currently Duke and I were sat in the car, sitting in silence as we anxiously waited for the destination to come into view. Duke had a guilty look in his eyes and neither he or Jack had made eye contact with me since Ethan's twin had given me the option for the trade. I hadn't asked either about it, I'm sure they just thought they should've been able to tell the difference between the twins. We soon arrived and it was time, there were two people at the doors of the seemingly abandoned warehouse and I anxiously bit my lip, praying this would all go to plan.

"I see you decided to take the trade." Edward smirked. I just glare at him, he sends me a smirk in response and Duke keeps his eyes pinned to the ground. "Thank you for bringing her Duke." 

"Give us Ethan." I demand. A wide smile appears on his face, it's sick and twisted in a way that makes me even more uneasy about this trade. 

"Just come here and then we'll see if Ethan wants to go back." Edward commands. I roll my eyes but take strangely confident footsteps towards Edward. Maybe it was because I knew my friends would be safe, or because I had done similar things before I wasn't sure. But I wasn't as scared as I should be. I had honestly missed this, not this exactly, but the danger and thrill of this life. My life had been so dull before. I hated how different I had become. Edward grabs me as soon as I am within his reach. "Ethan, dear brother, why don't you come out now?" Edward calls out, unlike what I expected Ethan is fine, he comes out with a bright smile on his face that quickly morphs into a smirk. There is no sign of injury just a simple smile. 

"Why?" I ask confused and hurt by Ethan's betrayal of the group. 

"What pathetic plan have they come up with?" Ethan calls out, ignoring my desperate question. 

"There's a tracker in her zipper." Duke answers, my head snaps around to him and he refuses to meet my gaze. Anger flares in my veins and suddenly my face pales. Jack. My friends. Daniel. No. 

"Why?" I exclaim. 

"Oh Lola, stop your wining." Ethan commands. "It's not a good look. Come on now, lets go." Edward drags me off and I try to fight only to be met with a few punches and a tighter grip as Edward continues to drag me off. Eventually I stop fighting and I'm shoved into the back of the van. I'm joined with Ethan and Duke. 

"I'm sure you have questions." Ethan states. I look at him with pure disbelief. 

"Why?" I ask, the anger and betrayal ripping through my voice. Ethan ripped the zipper off my jeans and thew it out of the doors before sitting in front of me. 

"So that we can be together baby." Ethan states in his usual voice that some how sounds crazy and sickly to me now. "It was always the plan. Ace, that mother fucker, wouldn't give up looking for you. I was fine before. Only I knew where you were. You were all mine. Then he found out you were alive." Ethan shakes his head, anger covering his features. "You see, I've always loved you, Ace has always been my biggest concern when it came to maintaining all of your affection. So when I brought your friends to you Edward and I came up with this plan. Now you are all mine." 

"Your crazy." I tell him. He just chuckles. 

"Crazy for you." Is his cheesy response. 

"Why?" I ask Duke, he keeps looking down, avoiding my gaze. 

"I think that's enough questions for one night. Sleepy time." Ethan smirks, injecting me with something that no matter how hard I try to fight it forces me into a deep sleep.
