Avery is now part of the four horsemen. Their one and only goal is to find him. It doesn't seem important to her but maybe it's only because she knows exactly where he is. She has a lot going on and as long as she keeps an eye on Damon and Luke, eve...
Avery and I are heavily making out in Michael's car. We told them to get going before us and we would go to them after. We are not planning on having sex or whatever, even though it's really tempting, we are not.
She's in my arms, on top of me, kissing the shit out of me. I am enjoying this. I knew she would choose me, I don't know why I ever doubted. There's a part of me that still does but if she didn't love me, she wouldn't have said all those things. Or maybe this is why we called her our little liar.
I am not sure what to believe anymore. It doesn't matter, she's here and I am here and we are both alive. There's nothing better than this.
All of a sudden, the car lies open and Michael is tearing us apart. Avery is yelling at him, calling him names I know she might regret. But, she won't. She never regrets anything. Maybe I should learn a few things from her.
"He's gone" Michael says at last. Avery stops wiggling her way out of his grip, her feet are frozen into the ground.
"What?"
"What do you mean, he's gone?" I am furious. How did this happen? We tied him up! We literally beat the shit out of him and I mean, literally. He couldn't have walked away. Unless, unless Kai didn't lock the doors. Which I am pretty sure he did.
Avery turns to me, her face cold.
"I mean he's gone" Michael repeats, letting go of her wrist. She rubs it a couple time before reaching for my hand. I squeeze her hand to let her know nothing is going to happen, she will be fine. We will all be okay.
We slowly walk in to meet Kai and Rika. They're talking over something I believe is less of a matter than right now.
"Avery, stay close to me" I advise her. She nods and is looking directly at her sister. She seems terrified and perhaps she is. But I refuse to think that our little liar is afraid of anything. People are scared of her, not the other way around.
"I am gonna go check the stairs" Kai says, heading towards them.
"I'll go check the back exit" Rika chimes in and is about to leave when her sister yells "No!".
"You guys, separating is a very bad idea"
I stroke the back of her hand with my thumb. She's the smartest in this room. We really should listen to her. I have no idea why I somehow am struggling to take her side.
"It's the only idea" Kai sighs and walks to us. He, as well as all of us, can see how terrified she is. He cups her cheeks and kisses her forehead, right in front o me!
She leans into him, why?
"You're gonna be safe b-"
"She's right" I cut him off. I knew he was going to say baby. He can't call her that, at least, not when I'm there. This fucking thing between them, it really is getting on my nerves. Why does her body relaxes when he touches her?
"Is she? Stop thinking with your dick for once, Will" Kai states and I raise my eyebrows. How fucking dare he? After what he just did? No, I don't think so.
"You son of a b-"
"Will, it's okay" Avery reassures me and I shrug her off. He wants her as bad as fucking Damon wants her right now. I thought everything was going great with him and Banks. I guess I was wrong, again. This is bullshit.
"Alright, Michael go with Rika and Will and I will check the basement" she says, not sounding so sure of her plan. What if we are surrounded? This is going to go to shit. I am still holding on tightly to her hand, scared she might disappear. I can't lose her.
"Okay" Kai answers and he's the first one to walk away.
When it's up to Avery and me, she squeezes my hand so tightly I fear it might break. She really is frightened, isn't she?
She doesn't talk on the way down there. In fact, she even lets go o my hand. She's trying to take back control but hasn't she learned? It's better to have someone to relie one. She can do it with me. She doesn't have to fear this alone. Especially when I know there's nothing in that basement.
"Will-"
Her quiet voice is shut up by the hand of someone on her mouth. The person is taking her to the back of the basement, behind the stairs. I follow, ready to strike.
But as I get closer and closer to Avery, she doesn't look alarm or tense. She seems relax and calm. She's getting fucking kidnapped and this is how she reacts?
I am walking up to them pretty quickly and when I take the man's hand off, I am stunned by who's standing in front of me.
What, and I can not express is enough, the hell is-
"Missed me?"
My fist come crashing down in his jaw and he doesn't waste a second to pin me against the back of the stairs. Avery is in between us and she's looking at me, not at him.
"Shut the fuck up, they're here" Damon says.
Jesus Fuck.
I can't believe he's here.
"I thought you said you couldn't risk it" Avery whispers, coming down to hug me. I look over her shoulder to see the disappointed look on his face. That's right, she chose me. Not you sick of fucking monst-
"It's worth the risk"
I can feel her smiling in my arms and it takes everything in me to remember, she is in my arms. Not him. She would not choose him if it came down to it for real, would she? We are about to find out.
"Who's here?" I ask, my voice as loud as a cricket. Avery looks up, interested about this as well. Becaue they are looking for her, obviously. They want her.
"Take a guess"
I don't answer.
This is serious, not a freaking game.
"Not one? Not even two"
"Will" he says, pushing Avery's hair out of her face. He smiles at her and I don't know if she smiles back. I don't care.
"It's Martin Scott"
SHIT.
