chapter 42: just tell the truth

+ ' Eos pov ' +

I scrolled through TikTok, giggling at my phone as I sat snuggling into Wyatt. He wrapped an arm around me as he waited to talk to Dustin.

"Princess?" Wyatt laced a finger underneath my chin to make me look at him.

"Yes my love?" I looked up at him.

"When Dustin comes in here I want you to sit here and pretend like you are playing on your phone, but I want you to record in case I need to use anything against him." Wyatt's eyes looked harsh, I could tell he was upset.

" I will I promise." I left a kiss on his cheek before returning to my phone.

I continued to scroll on my phone as Dustin walked into my room.

"Wyatt I have some information for you." Dustin held out a file for Wyatt to take.

"Sit." Wyatt sat up straight.

Dustin looked around and then sat down on the floor.

" So I heard you have a thing for the McKinley Mafias boss, and that you are working for them." Wyatt grabbed my thigh giving me the okay to start recording.

I pressed the record button on my phone being sure to act like I was just playing on it. "That is probably just a rumor. I would never betray you Wyatt." Dustin lied right through his teeth.

" The evidence I have says otherwise." Wyatt kept pushing Dustin into telling the truth.

"Is this some way of telling me I'm fired? Because if it is it isn't funny." Dustin attempted to change the subject.

" That's it." Wyatt got up pulling his keys out of his pocket, before turning to me "Please go get in the car princess."

I nodded and grabbed the keys from him and got in the car, starting it up. I rolled down the window and sat halfway out of it as I looked around. I could see Wyatt, Bella, Archer and Creed dragging Dustin to  Creeds car before gagging him and throwing him into the trunk.

We drove for a bit before showing up at the McKinley residence. As the boys got Dustin out of the vehicle Wyatt and I knocked on the door. To our surprise people actually answered, two men.

"Can we help you?" One of them said looking down on me and then making eye contact with Wyatt.

"We have your piece of scum to return." Wyatt motioned towards Dustin.

"Kodak! Derik! Help me!" Dustin screamed as Creed ungagged him.

"It is true he is a piece of scum, but there is something here much more desirable than him." The other said as he ran his hand through a small section of my hair. Wyatt grabbed the mans hand and threw it down.

"Do. Not. Touch. Her." Wyatt's cold tone sent shivers down my spine.

The man grabbed my hand and kissed it, "My apologies madam, I am Derik and the strikingly handsome fellow next to me is Kodak."

Kodak gave me a small wave before Wyatt punched Derik straight in the face.

"Careful, your little lady would make a fine prize." Kodak winked at me.

"Might just have to kill her." Derik grabbed my wrist, pulling a knife out of his pocket. Before I knew it Wyatt and Creed where all over Kodak and Derik pummeling them into the ground as Archer struggled to hold Dustin still.

"Die you bitch!" Dustin yelled breaking free of Archer.

A hand yanked me backwards. It was Bella. She grabbed my hands, leading me into the woods.

"Run Eos! We need to go." Bella had a slight shake in her voice as we made our way deeper and deeper into the woods.

It had been a long time since I had been into these parts of the woods. It sent tears down my face bringing back loving memories of my mother.
"You will always be my shining dawn." My mothers voice repeated over and over in my head.

Bell and I eventually found a cave and burried ourselves deep within it. We waited for a long while until bell received a text. I looked over her shoulder as she began typing

Wyatt: Where are you and Eos. Those 3 are hurt but they will live.

Bella: In a cave up towards the north end of the border

Bella: You fr didn't kill them? Thats a first

Wyatt: I was to worried about Eos

Bella: kk

Bella shut off her phone, leaving us to sit in silence for another short period of time. Finally Wyatt poked his head into the cave. As soon as I noticed it was him I ran to him, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Crying princess." He said wiping a tear off of my face.

I didn't verbally respond but instead buried my head into his neck. He then picked me up wrapping his arms under my thighs. As we sat in the car and made our way home I wondered how my mom would have been if she was still alive...if my life would have been different.....If I would have been different.
