Where I Belong - Ace Merrill

Chapter 2

Harper felt her breath catch in her throat as she looked between the boys staring at her oddly.

"Bloody hell you guys are good actors!" She blurted out as she shook herself to reality.

Jumping up she rushed over to Eyeball, hovering her face dangerously close to his.

"You've even got the scar! Holy shit is that makeup?" She asked, laughing slightly.

These guys were the spitting image of the cobras! Though she didn't remember seeing anything about their being method actors in Brownsville she wasn't complaining.

Until she spun and looked around, the walls were bare, besides a few small holes made from clear fists and the odd few lines of graffiti.

Looking back to who she believed to be Kiefer she tilted her head slightly.

"Man the resemblance is freaking uncanny!" She said breathless. "How much they paying you to do this?"

Yet before any of the cobras could respond she fired more questions.

"I bet it's a lot? Do they do all your hair and makeup too? Man even you're clothes are the same! Honestly I could put a photo of you all on Instagram and fans would go nuts! Can I take a-"

"Shut up!" Ace snapped at her, he was fed up of hearing her constant questions and words coming up out of her mouth.

She coiled back slightly before laughing. "Yeah yeah I get it you're the big bad cobra, ooooh great job." She laughed again as she went to push past him. "I gotta go tell mum and dad! Hell even they're gonna freak."

Ace grabbed her arm and held her back from the door as Eyeball moved to block her in.

"You ain't going anywhere till you tell me who the fuck you are!" He growled at her.

She laughed slightly and shook her head. "Wow you really are in character aren't you? Damn Kiefer would be hella proud!"

"Who the fuck is Kiefer?" Ace snapped back.

Harper laughed again and raised her eyebrow at him.

"Dude... come on..."

Ace shook his head slightly, expecting an answer.

"Dude... come on..." she repeated.

Her eyes drifted around the rest of the cobras. Their faces matched Ace's, they had no idea who Kiefer was.

"Okay well credit to you lot, you guys really pull off the whole 'cobras' vibe. Definitely giving this place five stars on trip advisor." Harper said with a smile as she released her wrist from Ace's grip and pushed past them.

As she head outside into the bar the cobras all gave each other the same confused face they'd had before.

"What the fucks a trip advisor?" Charlie asked as Ace pushed past him and followed the girl out to the bar.

"Mum! Dad!" Harper shouted as she walked through Irbys.

Confusion formed in her face as she looked around, the signed photos and memorabilia had gone and the bare blank walls stared back at her.

The pool table no longer had rope around it and looked like it was mid-game, instead of being neatly set up as it had.

"You gonna fucking tell us who you are?!" Ace snapped at her as the other cobras stumbled after him.

Harper slowly turned to him. "My names Harper, don't suppose you know where my parents are? They were here just a second ago..." she mumbled as she looked around again.
