*TW fighting, harassment*

I looked up and saw Marcus struggling with a monk. I ran over to help him.

Everyone jumped out from where they were hiding and ran. I followed after.

Marcus right behind.

We all ran out of the school, and Chico ran over to a car, punched the driver, and chucked him out.

"Get in!" He yelled.

Everyone jumped in. Saya, helping Petra. Katie tugged my hand to follow, but I snatched it away.

I ran away down the streets down a dark alley. I heard someone shouting after me, but I kept going.

"Hey, pretty princess, where are you going at this time of night?" Said a man with a familiar voice.

He walked out, blocking the path. I skidded to a halt and hissed under my breath. "Slasher.".

Two other men came out behind him. "Move." I snarled, raising my fists.

He killed my mum.

I felt someone grab my waist from behind. I kicked out and felt the person grab onto me tighter.

The men approached slowly and rope in their hands. I kicked out. I heard the man who was behind me fall as I ran past them.

I made it out of the other side, grabbing a key off of Slashers belt.

My wrists were covered in bruises. I stopped and bent over to stop for breath. A car engine roared past me, and I caught a glimpse of Billy at the window.

I stood up and watched the car stop and turn around towards me. I didn't have time to think as the door burst open, and Saya came out and hugged me.

"Why did you go?" She said, pulling back. I looked down sheepishly.

"You scared me, Y/n! What were you thinking?" Shouted Katie.

I could tell she had been crying. I looked up and held out my closed fist, slowly opening it. Showing them the key.

Willie gasped and walked over, picking up the key.

"This is the key to Slashers' house! How did you get it?". I shrugged. "Long story.".

We all got into the car and drove off. We stopped the car and approached Slashers House.

Slasher was a wanted assassin. He had murdered 67 people. Including Billy's parents and my mum, but no one knew that.

I put my arm around Billy and squeezed him.

"We need to go back to school." Chico said. Katie nodded and turned back to the car.

"How about a celebration party at the roof." Suggested Petra. We all agreed and drove back.

We played monopoly and drank some beer that Victor had found in the Vault. Victor and Chico left, so everyone sat in a circle.

"Let's play truth or dare!" Said Katie. Petra nodded and turned to Saya. "Truth or dare?" She asked.

"Dare!" Said Saya. "I dare you to yell the first word that comes to your head!" Said Petra.

"Weakness." Yelled Saya. I looked up. "Y/n truth or dare!" Willie asked.

"Dare." I said. "Kiss Marcus!" Shouted Billy. I shook my head in disbelief.

"No." I said. Marcus raised his eyebrows. "A dares a dare Hazel!" Katie said excitedly.

"Yeah, it's just a kiss!" Said Petra. "If it's just a kiss, then kiss Billy!" I shouted. Petra blushed.

I turned around to Katie. "Truth or Dare." I asked.

"Truth." She said, crossing her arms. "Do you like Lex." Said Saya. Lex turned his head in our direction, listening closely.

Katie looked down and smiled. "Maybe.". I smirked. "I'm going to bed." Said Katie she got up and walked downstairs.

Petra, Lex, and Billy followed. Willie raised his hand. "Me too!" He said and got up.

Saya looked at me. "I will leave you two." She said teasingly and got up.

I stood up and walked over to the edge of the roof and sat down, swinging my legs off the side. Marcus got up and sat next to me.

I raised my head and looked at him. We held eye contact for a while. "So how come you are at this school you never told me." I asked.

"Blew up my orphanage." He replied. I laughed.

"But I didn't. I was the only survivor, so the police just assumed I did it, had to go on the run." He said, looking down with sadness.

"Oh, so you're innocent?" I replied, my laughter gone.

"Yeah, I guess I am." He whispered.

"Same here, but in this case Slasher came into my house and killed my Mum. People thought it was me and went on the run for 3 years until Saya found me." I said.

Marcus nodded.

"Lot of things in common.". I shrugged and looked at the sunset. He looked up, eyes tracing my cheek where the bruise from Chico still was.

I looked at him. Our eyes met as we leaned in face inches away. An arrow fired out of know were.
