Tenebrous [h.s]

Chapter O4

𝒵ℴℯ'𝓈 𝒫𝒪𝒱:

It's 7 am, I woke up an hour ago since I fell asleep really early. I changed my sheets because that was the first and the last time I would let myself lay down after a workout. I quickly took it to the laundry room in absolute silence. Everyone was asleep, I can't blame them though, I woke up really early.

I don't know the effects of the shot yet but as I am walking around I feel fine, a little more active I can say. I feel really good, I'm impressed.

I decided to take a shower, a cold shower. I opened the water and got rid of my clothes, leaving them on the floor. I stepped in the shower and let the cold water slide down my body, chills forming all over it.

When I grabbed the shampoo bottle, I started thinking about yesterday. The weight of what happened really hit me. Another person knows and I'm not entirely comfortable with the idea. But what worries me the most is Harry. Not the fact that he learnt about my secret but the fact that he stopped my father. Aries doesn't like anyone stopping what he wants to do and when someone does get in his way they only end up in trouble.

Harry has to know who Aries is, he can't be that naive. Right? I have to put a little effort into trusting my partners. I want to trust them, they have to gain it though and I think I have to attain it from them as well.

I finished taking a shower, I got dressed, lathered some sunblock on my face and blow dried my hair. What if I cook breakfast today, since no one is awake and I have nothing to do till we have the meeting about our first mission? I have to admit I'm enthralled to work with them for the first time. It's been a while since I went to something remotely close to a mission, I get a thrill out of risking my life.

I went downstairs to check the fridge and cabinets to see if we have everything so I can make some pancakes. Of course we do, this place is packed with food. We are seven people so I made sure I made enough pancakes. They turned out delicious, I couldn't help myself so I tried one. I like cooking but due to my schedule I don't have time to do that often.

 As I was placing the plates on the dining table, I caught a glimpse of Zayn and Hazel on the stairs. Honestly, I have no idea what's going on between them, if there is actually anything going on between them. But by the look of it they have it bad, both of them. If it wasn't for Harry's comment about them the night I met them, I would have never thought of it. My curiosity wants me to ask, but I'd rather not be intrusive.

"Morning" Hazel said with a beaming smile, she sure has energy.

"Well, well, you made us pancakes, I love pancakes, thanks Zoe." Zayn said, clearly recovered as he sat down. "How are you?"

"I'm great actually and from what I can tell you are fine as well." I replied.

"Couldn't be better. The others should be down any minute."

"They are awake?"

"Yes, we made sure they are."

As if on cue the rest of the guys came down the stairs. Niall is giddy as always. The rest of them looking pretty fresh. Liam kissed me on the cheek as he sat down next to me.

"How are you brat?" Harry said with a rather raspy voice. Hot.

What am I even thinking?!?!

"I'm really good. Thanks." I smiled because who wouldn't smile when someone asks them if they are okay.

"Who made these, they taste amazing!" Niall said not caring about etiquette, he has indulged in the heaven called pancakes.

"That would be me." I said with a laugh escaping me as he gave me a toothy grin with food in his mouth.
