Archers POV:

She was terrified, terrified of me. I could practically taste her fear as she ran away from me I could hear her heels clicking as she ran up to what I can only assume was Ace's office, with a grin on my face I move outside to have a smoke because holy fuck did I did one. Dropping myself onto the porch outside the Manor taking a deep breath watching the breeze flow through the trees. 

Taking the tin out and my knife starting to cut up the dried flowers setting it into the rolling paper slowly rolling the blunt still watching the trees, 

"Archer." Ace's voice cut through the silence

"Ace" Placing the blunt between my lips flicking the lighter watching the small flame come to life, 

"Whats with you and scaring the shit out of Molly?" I could feel him standing behind me as he made it clear I was about to get a lecture,

"I only answered questions she asked" bringing the flame closer to the edge of the blunt lighting it taking another deep breath also counting as a drag. 

"Questions that no sane person should never have to hear!" he pulled a chair from behind me a shadow casting over where I was sitting the only light coming from my blunt as the sun hid behind the trees, 

"Then why did she ask Ace? What were you expecting me to do, answer dishonestly? is that what you wanted me to do." As I made no move to face him slowly blowing out smoke, 

"change the fucking subject! bloody hell Archer there is something seriously wrong with you." He spat his tone taking a hard edge as he was clearly upset, 

"Well no fucking shit Ace, I wouldn't be sitting here fresh out of prison with the body count that I have" Moving my body so I can watch his movement trying to figure out exactly how he was feeling,

"The body count of what? 100? 150? what is it now Archer? is Molly one of your targets? is that why your scaring the shit out of her? What the fuck are you up to!?" He was clearly upset I mean Molly and him are close but how fucking dare he. How dare he accuse me of ever wanting to hurt her. She's mine, I would never hurt her I would only hurt people that hurt her. 

"Your way out of line here Ace." Slowly feeling the weed fog over my head taking away a lot of my anger, "I would never hurt her. Ever. You hear me? I would never hurt Molly!" Ace glanced at me staring me down as I take a few more drags my head fully foggy by, crushing out the blunt making sure it wasn't still alight, 

"what are you trying to do then Arch? She's terrified" His tone was much softer now he knew I would never lie to him because I never have....other than my body count but he's never asked the right questions so not really my fault. 

"I don't know....I don't know what I'm doing Ace but what I do know is I would never hurt her" I knew my eyes were blood shot as he was looking over me, 

"I don't know whats going on with you but if you ever hurt her I will gut you myself." I knew his threat was not a threat it was a fucking promise, Ace loved Molly like a little sister. Tallia was his little sister but she was a fucking badass, amazing woman Ace loves her but he's very much the kind of person who wants to protect and Talli, Talli can handle herself. Molly....not so much so Ace naturally became much like her big brother. Which I respect but not to the point where he gets to assume I'm going to hurt her because that is ridiculous, utterly ridiculous.

"If I hurt Molly, I will give you full permission to kill me" Closing my eyes dropping my head back onto the wall behind me taking a slow breath my head starting to spin Ace still sat beside/behind me, "is that all?" Wanting to be left alone so I try and hint him to leave. 

"yeah thats all" his chair scraped across the floor "hey Arch?" 

With a heavy sigh I open one eye "Yeah Ace?" 

"I think your falling for Molly....Don't hurt her or yourself" He patted my shoulder walking past pushing open the door his dress shoes clicking on the polished marble floor as the door swung shut with a click. 

"My Big brother in love hm?" Tessa moved out from the back of the kitchen with two cups of hot chocolate,

"love....tha..thats a.." trailing off my eyes falling shut again as Tess came to sit next to me setting my cup down next to the tin still sitting beside me, 

"Its not a stretch, your capable of love your just....." She sighed "special. your a special boy" she sipped her drink sliding the tin away from my grasp as I feel for the cup of hot chocolate

"Specia....your being nice..." slowly bringing the cup up to my lips taking a extremely slow sip my hand shaking as I hold the cup, the warm liquid relaxing my brain letting the sugar counteract the effects of weed. 

"yeah of course I'm being nice Archie, your fucked in the head to a degree but I love you so it doesn't matter does it?" She gently took the cup from me as I was about to wipe my face out of frustration, 

"I lov....I love you too Tess.." trailing off once again my eyes staying shut as I fall into a deep sleep. 

Third person POV: 

Tess stood up closing the doors of the balcony shielding him from the weather pulling a blanket over her brother flicking off the lights walking back into the manor both cups of coco in her hand the tin tucked under her arm, 

"he okay?" Molly was sitting on the couch the cat curled up on her lap, 

"Does it matter to you?" Tess poured the Archers cup into her to go cup along with her cup closing the lid, "you think he's horrible"

"I don't- He scares me...he's not horrible..."
