Chapter 23

Breathe in
Breathe out

16's POV

The next morning we arrived at EFC, it wasn't what I was expecting. It was a restaurant, a very big restaurant.

We walked into the building and it was bigger on the inside.

"I wonder if they have pizza" I thought out loud

"Guys, I need to use the restroom, I'll be back soon" Nina said  and headed towards the female restroom. I left Andre and Damien by themselves and followed Nina.

"You need to use the restroom too?" Nina asked once we were inside.

"No, I just didn't want to be left alone with those two, they act all weird when it's just three of us" I said

"What do you mean?" She laughed

"If i get too close to Damien, Andre looks sad and if I get too close to Andre Damien looks mad, its bothersome and confusing" I said and her face fell

"I see" she said and forced a smile

Are you good? Was what I wanted to ask her but for some reason the words didn't come out.

She came out once she was done, we were about to leave when two girls walked in. I watched as Nina's face grew pale at the sight of them.

"Oh my gawsh! Look who it is!" The girl with black hair explained

"It's our fatty!" The mini skirt one exclaimed

"N-nyx, M-mia, wh-what are you guys doing h-here?" Nina stuttered, I looked down on her hands, they were shaking.

"We should ask you the same thing, I hope you didn't come here to eat?" Black hair said

"Do you want to get fatter?" Mini skirt added and they both laughed.

Black hair put her hand on Nina's shoulder and mini skirt grabbed her hand.

"You didn't come here with our Damien did you?" Black hair asked

Our?

"You don't want me to make you bleed like last time do you?" Black hair said with a smirk. I looked at Nina and her lip was quivering.

"You shouldn't touch people without their permission" I said and they all turned to face me.

"Who the heck are you?" Black hair asked

"Leave her alone" I sighed, trying to keep my calm

"Piss off" mini skirt said with an eye roll

"So fatty, where's Andre?"

I let out a loud sigh and grabbed both girls by the arm.

"What are you-" before they could speak I squeezed their hands with quarter of my strength and they let out an agonizing scream.

"What the heck are you?" Black hair cried rubbing her now dislocated arm

"It's not good to touch people without their permission" I repeated

"Your a freak"

I took a step towards them and they ran out crying. I looked at my hands, I just wanted to give them a scare.

"Thank you" Nina said in a whisper

"Who were those girls?"

"People from school" she said with another fake smile

"The ones who hurt you?" I asked and she stayed quiet.

"You shouldn't let people treat you in a way you hate" I said and she smiled.

A loud laughter was heard from one of the toilets. I got goosebumps and took a fighting stance. I sensed bloodlust and murderous intent.

"Your giving advice?" A voice said and a woman dressed in black walked out, she smiled at me and I felt sick.

"Do you know me?" I asked and she shook her head

"No" she simply said and walked away.

I wanted to run after her, but I just let it go.

"Let's go, Damien and Andre must be waiting" Nina said and we went to find them.

We found them talking to some workers.

"Anthony, yeah...we worked with him for some time" wecheard one if the workers say.

"Do you know where he is?" Andre asked

"No, but we know where he used to live, maybe you could go there to ask" he said and wrote down and address for us

"Thank you" Andre said

"But its weird, you guys are the second people asking about Anthony today" the worker said

"Who was the first?!" I asked in shock

"Uhhh...it was a lady, she was dressed in black. Is she with you guys?" He said and i clenched my fists and ran off

"Where are you going!" Damien called out but I continued to run.

I looked around for the woman and when my eyes landed on her I ran towards her, she was already leaving, when she noticed me she began to run as well.

As I've mentioned before I'm good at everything, but running wasn't my forte, maybe it was because I had short legs.

The woman was about to get away but a car pulled up in front of her and slowed her down, it gave me the opportunity to catch her.

I pinned her to the floor and looked into her dark eyes.

"Who are you?" I asked and she smiled.

"You don't know me, but I know you"

"What?"

"He is going to be so proud of how strong you've become"  she said with an eery smile

"Who is he?" I asked in frustration.

"16!" Andre called out, I turned to face them and the woman used that chance to escape from my grip and run away.

I tried chasing after her but in seconds she was nowhere to be found.

I cursed under my breath and ran my hands through my hair in frustration.

"Who was that?" Nina asked and I bit my tongue to fight back the anger and frustration I was feeling.

Who was that woman? And what in the world was she talking about?
