Salara's POV:
i gasp in shock my jaw practically hitting the top of my pillow. "evelyn was engaged to that phsycopath's brother?!" i asked my voice filled with disbelief. Darien gave a small nod, his jaw tense. "he had us all fooled, right from the very beginning. He was a very promising resource as well. He did his job no questions and even did more than what his job required." He sighed shaking his head.
Oddly enough even through the deep sound of Darien's undying hatred for Marcus it sounded like he cared about him. Something i had not been expecting. "Sounds like he meant alot to you...and evelyn." i whispered hoping that Darien didn't take offence to my words. He nodded his jaw flexing.
"I did. He might have been a hard ass but he was calm and relaxed. I guess that was what made it so damn easy to let him in." he frowned nibbling on his lower lip in concentration. "So how exactly did you guys find out that he wasn't who he said he was?" Darien let out a sigh pinching the bridge of his nose as he thought, recalling memories from that time.
"We had gotten news that Scorsazy and his men were going to be making a hit at one of our warehouses in the city. We went out heavily armed and ready to finally eliminate Xander and his men for the last time, but when we showed up...no one was there." i frowned in confusion. "What? how doe-" Darien held up a finger to stop me. "it was an ambush." my eyes widened in surprise. I shifted deeper into the plush pillow below me, like alittle kid listening to his dad reinacting his war stories.
"Before we knew it we were surrounded, our men dropping like flies. When I saw Xander, i knew i had to kill him so i hid in a place where i was safe from all the fire and had a shot. the perfect shot that would have...ended all this crap!" he exclaimed his hands curling into a fists while his voice filled with disappointement.
"but then i saw Marcus, with a clear shot that he could have taken to kill Caleb. Marcus turned his gun on Evelyn." i gasped covering my mouth with my hands feeling my body flood with pity for evelyn, having been shot by the man you thought you knew inside and out. that's definitely got to have scarred a person and i didn't mean physically. "don't worry about her, he never got the chance to actually shoot her." he mumbled, licking his lips. "so what happened then if he didn't shoot her?" he shifted slightly so he could see my face.
"he shot me." he breathed softly. "that's not funny darien." i scolded my eyes narrowing. he gave me a small sad smile, "i'm not lying Salara. He was going to shoot evelyn, but i stepped into the path when he pulled the trigger. Better me than my little sister." he whispered running his thumb along his jaw. "i gave up my shot on Xander for a bullet to protect my sister." he mumbled shaking his head as if he were contemplating taking the moment back and doing it differently.
"Hey! don't beat yourself up about it. i know that if you hadn't done what you did to save evelyn and that she died you would have been worse off knowing you let your sister take a bullet from that lying assface." Darien chuckled, his eyes glittering with amusement. "only you Salara would call someone an assface and find it a ligitamite diss." i smiled rolling my eyes. "don't forget i said 'lying' assface." i laughed pointing an accusing finger at Darien.
When we lapsed back into silence i started wondering. "so what happened to Marcus afterwards?" Darien gave a little shrug. "Evelyn shot him." my mouth dropped open in shock again. "Oh my god did she kill h-" he shook his head his eyes hard, "but it would have been better if she had. the last we heard, Marcus fell into a coma from the amount of blood loss and hasn't been seen since." damn evelyn is my new hero.
Darien let out another little chuckle when he saw the look of astonishment on my face. "yeah i know what your thinking." he smiled. "we were all proud of her but don't say it to her. Marcus meant a lot to all of us, but evelyn was hurt the most when she found out who he was." i nodded my head lying back on the bed thinking everything over.
"where?" i asked my voice cracking slightly on the end. Darien shifted looking me in the face a frown on his. "I mean where exactly did you get hit?" he swallowed softly before he whispered, "right here." his finger trailing over his chest to a spot an inch or two bellow his collar bone.
I sat up moving to hover over Darien as i got a better look. i was amazed that i hadn't seen it before but the truth is the scar wasn't very visible unless you knew what you were looking for. it was a shade or two lighter than his actual skin and seemed to stretch out like the ends of a spider web, fading before disappearing completely.
i reached out tentavily, lightly running my fingers over the scar as if it would start bleeding just at the feel of my touch. "did it hurt?" i asked shifting my gaze back to Darien's, whom had been watching me carefully. "not really. the adrenaline rushing through my body numbed the pain for a bit." he whispered. i bit my lip looking back down at the scar that could have killed Darien.
"It was okay, it missed all the major arteries but it did leave a killer pain everytime i breathed." he murmured his eyes unfocusing slightly from the memory. "does it still hurt to breathe?" he shook his head. "no, it looks worser than it feels." i giggled making darien give me an odd look. "you do know that 'worser' isn't a word right?" i laughed making him roll his eyes.
"well excuse me for not being an english major" he chuckled, "and what are you? the vocabulary police or something?" he chuckled gripping onto my waist, making me scream with laughter as he tickled me. "n-n- darien st- stop!!" i squealed trying to stop his hands from squeezing. He chuckled rolling ontop of me pinning my hands inbetween our bodies.
When he finally stopped my chest was practically heaving from the lack of oxygen i had been experiencing. I blinked away my teary eyes finally noticing just how close Darien and i were to one another. He was smiling from on top of me, his eyes running over my face real slowly. I felt a weird fluttering inside my chest when he began to lower his head down to mine. *When our lips met i swear a fire began burning in the pit of my stomach. his lips were soft but demanding and man if my hands hadn't been pinned in between us i think i would have been tangling them in his hair.
His hot breath was ticking my lips as he pulled away, his teeth nibbling on my lower lip making me moan softly as i-* I snapped out of my daydream when Darien rolled off of me a smile still on his face. "you okay? you look like you went somewhere else there for a second?" he chuckled his gaze never leaving mine. i forced a smile. My cheeks heating to an incredible degree as i realized i had fantasized that Darien and i were making out on his bed. there is something that is seriously wrong with me! oh my god i think i've gone completely bonkers.
"Nope i'm good. i-i i'M going to bed." i stuttered pathetically as i rolled over, hiding my face from his view. i blushed even more as i tightened the covers over my shoulder wondering if Darien had realized just how badly i wanted to kiss him back there. I mentally slapped myself, repeating over and over again that the reason i was even here was because of Darien and his occupation. An occupation that nearly got me killed...on several occasions. oh god why did the bad guys always have to be so damn sexy? WAIT WHAT!?
