Ivanov

•*Chapter 9*•

We were eating the fruits and joking around, when Alejandro barged into the kitchen with a cold expression.

"We need to talk." He said looking at Dean. Dean looked up at him, his eyes displaying confusion.

"Now, Ivanov." Alejandro urged. Dean just rolled his eyes before kissing my temple and following my brother back outside the kitchen. I followed them back into the living room to see the rest of my brothers with sharp glared on their face.

"What's happening?" I asked, but instead of receiving an answer, my brothers stayed quiet.

"Iris go to your room. We'll talk when we're finished." Dean said. But I started shaking my head before he could finish.

"No, no, no! I'm sick of this. Alejandro what's going on?" I asked again. But Al just shook his head before looking up at me.

"Iris. I promise you I'll talk to you about everything, just not right now." He said lowly. I scoffed and looked over to Dean expectantly. But he didn't say anything.

"Fuck it." I said defeatedly, making my way up the stairs.

"Elena!" Alejandro called out to me, but I just went upstairs faster. I got to my room and grabbed my gun from under my pillow I checked to see if it was loaded and then walked out of the room with it in my hand.

When I jogged back down the stairs, all talking ceased immediately.

Pussies.

I walked pass them into the kitchen and got a bottle of water before going back into the living room, heading towards the exit.

"Nirvana!" Mateo called. I ignored him and kept walking to the door. I was pulled back by my wrist.

"Where are you going?" He asked. I held my gun up lazily.

"To shoot something. Do you have a problem with that?" I asked sarcastically. He rolled his eyes at me and let me go.

"It would be nice if you told us you were leaving without us having to ask." Alejandro said shrugging carelessly. I nodded my head.

"Like how you guys tell me stuff?" I asked. "I'm going to shoot something. Don't wait up."

I locked the door behind me and made my way into the forest behind Dean's gate. I walked a good way in before taking my gun out. I aim at the center of the tree bark before shooting, hitting perfectly. I aim at different angles and then drink my water. When my bottle is empty, I place it on a tree stump in front of me. I aim for the bottle cap.

Steady.

"If it isn't baby Garcia." A voice said loudly, making my trigger finger twitch. I hit a random tree.

He made me miss.

I turn around sharply with my gun still raised, pointing at the intruder.

The man stood at around 5 feet 8 inches tall. He had a scruffy beard and shoulder length dirty blonde hair. He was dressed in full black and smiled, showing a row of crooked, yellow teeth.

"Who are you?" I asked coldly and bluntly. The man laughed loudly before pointing his finger at me, walking slowly towards me while doing so.

"Once I bring you to him it won't matter who I am! All that will matter is that you will suffer. And there's nothing your selfish brothers will be able to do about it." The man said now directly in front of me. Although I kept my face blank, I won't deny that I fell a shiver run down my spine at the strange man's words.
