I stand and admire them both, as Soul jogs over and helps Zane with the stuff, and they exchange some words I can't hear.

I like Zane. He seems to be a sweet Badboy, and I bet it earns him a lot of attention from the women, but Soul eclipses him. Stealing my focus. And I know why Zane kissing me, no matter how fleeting, felt wrong to me. Because my stupid heart has fallen hard for a longhaired god, that drives me crazy with the simplest look and the most innocent of touches.

He makes me feel nervous, safe, shy, angry, and a thousand other things, all at once, and without even trying.

He doesn't see me standing here staring at him as I strip him with my eyes, wondering what I'm going to do about them, until he and Zane disappear inside, at the exact moment Celine reaches me.

"Ready, Sweetie? I grabbed ya some simple stuff for now, just ta do ya, 'till Gus can bring us back, ah'ite?" I nod and smile. Ready to get the x-rays done, the stitches sorted out, and finally meet this Doc guy. So we make our way to the car without being seen by any of them and make the long drive back.

I walk through the door behind the counter at the hotel to look for Celine. I want to thank her for taking me to get the new phone today,

"Celine," I call out as I walk in the room, pausing as my bare foot, steps in something wet and slightly slippery…. What the?…. Looking down, I see a puddle of something dark… And red.

Is that… Blood on the floor?

It's definitely blood, I surmise, after taking a closer look. I follow the drops of blood around into the kitchen, finding a bigger puddle of blood there with the drops.

The big puddle has a huge smear through it, leading out the back door. Scared to death of what the fuck could of happened, I rush over and grab a large knife and a frying pan.

With shaking hands, I make my way out the back door, and the sight before me has me frozen in terror. My teeth chattering as ice fills my veins.

"J-J-Jace?" I whisper in horror. Gus is lying in a puddle of blood with his eyes closed. I can't see his chest moving.

Celine is tied to a chair, blood dripping from her head, as she slouches forward unconscious.

Then I see more bodies littering the floor, surrounding the area, all lying in pools of blood. All wearing those similar vests.

Jace walks over to me with a malicious and triumphant grin plastered on his face, and I can't move as my eyes scan the bodies for Soul.

"I told you I'd find you, Lou." He says, giving me a kiss on the cheek. Then he hits the knife and pan from my hands. I'm so frozen in terror, I forgot I even had them, and now I've lost my only weapons.

He takes my hand and walks me through all the bodies, and I look at every face as I pass, but they all look the same. Why? What…?! "I also told you that I'd kill anyone that touched you. Well, they all look the same to me." I look at him, and he's covered head to toe in blood.

"J-J-Ja-Jace, j-just let C-C-Celine go. I-I-I'll g-go wi-wi-with you!" I cry.

I did this. I shouldn't have come here. My eyes are still scanning the faces when Jace spins me around by the shoulders and pulls me against his chest.

"Are you looking for someone in particular, Lou?... Celine here wouldn't tell me which filthy biker piece of shit touched my property, hence so many bodies. Unfortunately for her, the only reason she was still alive was because she wasn't talking, and you weren't here to tell me if I had the right one." He says as he moves behind her. The right one?
