All The King's Horses And All The King's Men

eighteen - 'you always ruin all of my fun, Jace.'

We both moved across the rooftop, battling with our swords.

"This is fun, isn't it?"

"Shut the fuck up, Armani."

I chuckled, pretending to go for him with my katana, only to pull back at the last second and wink at him.

He gave several fierce attacks toward me, which I dodged and moved backwards.

"Hmm. This is fun. What are we, dancing or something?" I asked, doing a spin.

I threw a few attacks his way, moving my feet in a way in which I would be doing the salsa if i weren't having a sword fight, humming a small tune as I went.

He took a particularly large swing at me, which just amused me even further.

I let him get a few more swings in, while moving backwards. He didn't realise it, but we were on the very edge of the roof. The corner.

I came toward him in the same manner I had backed away, sending small swings as I went.

I spun again, leaning backwards and sticking my leg out as he brought his sword up toward my face, effectively kicking it out of his hand.

My palms touched the ground and I kicked my legs over, now back on the edge of the roof.

It was a low chance, really, and it was rather idiotic of me to take that chance.

I threw my sword as one would a spear, watched it pierce his stomach, and dropped from the edge of the roof with my arms spread out, mock saluting him.

As I expected, or rather hoped, my brothers were there, holding a blanket out, waiting for me to drop.

I bounced minusculey a few times and then stopped, sending a smirk to one of my newer assassins who had the most 'what the fuck' look I had ever seen, as Morelli — the man I had battled with — dropped from the roof with a sword through his stomach.

"Can we go home, now?" Jayson asked, scrolling through his instagram with a bored look on his face.

I huffed, getting up from the blanket, "you always ruin all of my fun, Jace."

I was woken up to a consistent banging on the door. Squinting my eye open slightly, I moved my hand around my bedside table for a few seconds before finding my phone, picking it up, and checking the time.

In glowing white letters '04:27am' was lit up on the screen.

Rolling out of bed, I mumbled a harsh string of profanities to whoever was at the door, picking my baretta up, I trudged down the stairs.

I opened the door, ultimately to point my gun at whoever was there but instead, I saw the triplets.

L U N A A R M A N I — R O D R I G U E Z

"Do you have any idea how idiotic what you three have done tonight is?" Jayson lectured, pacing the living room in front of us, from where we were sitting on the couch.

I layed with my head on Theo's lap, him idly stroking his fingers through my hair, while Drake sat on the floor, in front of me, as I combed my hand through his.

It was all soft and conditioned and it felt like I was running my hand through a marshmallow.

I cracked a smile.

"Haha. Marshmallow. Drake the marshmallow. Should start calling you marsh." I snickered.

"Luna, what the fuck? Did you not listen to what I just said? You're so lucky Dad and Jay aren't here right now because if they were you'd all be dead."

"Ha. Dead shmead." Dre chuckled from beneath me, his eyes barely open as he stretched his lips into a wide grin.

"Hey, Jace. Have you seen my glasses? I can't see," I dragged out the word 'see' as I rolled over, toppling over Drake.

"Ow! Fucking prick," Dre muttered, rubbing his leg which I had fell on.

"No, for fucks sake Luna, you don't even fucking have glasses!" Jayson exclaimed.

"Doors." Theo muttered, running his hand through his hair in the same manner he had mine.

"Jace. Do you want a hit?" I pulled a blunt out of my pocket and sparked it, inhaling the fumes deeply before exhaling.

"Fucking hell, Luna! No! And put that out for fucks sake, Lev will smell it as soon as he walks in."

I rolled my eyes, standing up on wobbling legs.

"Guess I'll go for a walk instead, then," I muttered, heading to the front door.

He pinched the bridge of his nose with one hand, the other held out to stop me from getting past.

I collided with his arm, falling to the floor with a thump.

I snickered.

"Who put that wall there?"

He took the blunt and lighter from my hand, pulling me to stand.

"No. Go lie down."

I giggled at his statement.

"You always ruin all of my fun, Jace."
