Keith's POV:

My eyes snap open when I hear a crash downstairs.

'Give me a break.' I growl to myself. But that's when I hear talking. I jump out of bed, grabbing my pistol from the bedside table, and go to Sawyer's room, he's there. Marcus is in his room... But Britt isn't.

I curse under my breath and bang my fist twice on Marcus and Sawyer's door to wake them up as I run for the stairs. Once I'm there, I spot three men; Two blondes, one brunette. The brunette has Britt bridal style and unconscious in his arms.

"Put her down, Reaper." I growl, aiming at them and drawing all of the attention onto me. The two blondes aim bowing arrows at me. I look behind the and see the open window. That's how they must have gotten in.

Once the brunette realizes who I am, he says, "It's nice to see you again, Proditor."

I don't dwell on the name as I reply, "Let. The girl. Go."

Marcus and Sawyer then come down the stairs and immediately aim their guns.

The brunette glances up at them and states, "Habetis nova turba video." (Translation: You have a new crew, I see.)

I'm ready to shoot him, when suddenly an arrow shoots so fast you barely see it until it hits the blonde on the right, going straight through his skull. It causes the other blonde to jump in surprise and his aim falters, but he shoots anyway.

He hits me in the shoulder and I stumble a little. Marcus is about to shoot when suddenly another arrow hits the second blonde as well, but this time through the neck.

I look at the brunette and he has Britt upright, a knife to her throat.

"Don't tempt!" He shouts.

"Hold your fire." I translate to the guys.

"Vos Paenitebit semper-" He doesn't get to finish as an arrow hits him as well, causing him to fall, taking Britt with him. (Translation: You will regret ever-)

I jog over to her and lift her off of the floor. I happen to glance out the open window and see an African American man standing in the window of the building across the street. He has a Reaper tattoo, but there's something wrong with it, I can't tell from here, though. He just glares daggers at me and takes off.

I've seen him somewhere, but he was too far away for me to recognize him.

The guys don't seem to have seen him so I take her upstairs.

"Why would they attack like that?" Marcus asks.

"Because they thought she was alone... It doesn't matter, we need to move when she wakes up." I reply. But why would they think she's alone? Reapers were supposed to know these things...

Unless they got false information.

Britt's POV:

I begin to feel a dull ache in the back of my head. My eyes flutter open and I realize I'm about to freeze. I look to my left and see Keith sitting in a chair beside my bed. What happened?

"Keith?" I grumble.

He looks at me and asks, "How do you feel?"

"Like I got in a fight with a lawn mower. And lost." I growl. I try to sit up but hiss when I feel like I'm being stabbed in the back of the head.
