Damien

"Do you have any idea of why they could be after Caleb?" I ask Milo. I've been asking him all week, because I want to know. I feel like he already has an idea of why, but doesn't want to tell me.

"Not really, I feel like I've gotten nowhere." Milo sighed as he sat down next to me and looked at the kids running around the dining hall.

Caleb made us volunteer for playing with kids. Im pretty sure neither of us is here to watch kids, but for Caleb. He really wanted us to volunteer and see how adorable and nice the kids are, those are his words.

I still think kids are demons

Caleb is playing with the kids. They seem to be doing a bunch of tricks, and seeing who has the best trick. One kid with golden brunet hair attempts and fails a cartwheel, she falls on her butt. But Caleb claps anyway, and helps her up.
He stoops down to her level and begins to say something to her that cheered her up and she does a cartwheel again, and she succeeded.
And everyone claps.

"He's really good with kids." Milo states as he leans forward a bit, staring at Caleb with a small smile pulling his lips.

"Yea." I say as I continue to watch him. I'm guessing it's his turn because all the children are shouting at him to go. He repeatedly shakes his head as his cheeks blushes red from embarrassment. After about 30 seconds he gives in and tells them to back up before attempting and succeeding in doing a backflip. Which makes everyone start cheering.

"How about we go over?" I ask as I stood up from the bench, and Milo nods before standing up as well. We walk over to the crowd of children cheering and Caleb notices us.

"Who knew you could do a back flip?" Milo said, and before I could say something a child started crying. And I was reminded why I disliked kids.
A kid had attempted to do a backflip and failed.
Caleb quickly came to his aid and knelted down beside him.

"Are you alright? What hurts?"

"My pride, and my neck." He said as he quickly wipped the tears from his eyes.

"I can take Chad to the nurse Mr. Caleb!" The girl from earlier said as he she walked to the boy and helped him up. The boy and a tint of blush on his face, which made me believe he had a crush on her.

"Thanks Belle." Caleb said as he stood up. And Belle had picked him up, which made Chad protest how he could walk, but she ignored him and continued her way to the nurses office.

"I don't want to do tricks anymore." A girl said as she sat on the ground.

"Oh... Um, how about we sit on the grass and talk?" Caleb suggested as he sat down next to the girl and call the children agree and sat in a circle. Milo shrugged and sat down with the cirle. I groaned and joined the circle.

"So what should we talk about?"

"Fears! We should talk about each other's fears!" A boy shouted before him and the several boys next to him began laughing.

"Sure. We'll go around in the circle and name on fear we had and why. I'll go first. My fear is deep water, because I'm afraid of drowning." He stated before looking at the kid next to him to go next.

"We want to join. Sorry we're late."

I mentally groaned at the voice. It was Lisa. Why did she volunteer the same day as me? I swear if she sits next to me- and she just sat down next to me. Great.

What did she mean by we're late?

Brandon attempt to sit down next to me, but Milo was right there, and he wasn't moving, which made Brandon mad.

"You see I'm trying to sit. Move." Brandon growled at Milo, who glared at Brandon.

"You can sit somewhere else." Milo said sternly, even though it sounded like a suggestion, by his tone it was a demand. We was telling him to sit somewhere else.

"I want to sit here. Or are you obsessed with Damien?" Brandon said as his brow raised as his eyes were glassy. Milo rolled his eyes before turning around continuing to ignore Brandon who was shouting absolute nonsense. It was starting to piss me off. He was yelling over a spot on the grass, which is embarrassing to do, especially in front of ruthless kids and pre-teens. And not to mention he was yelling at Milo. That's what was really pissing me off.

After 30 seconds of constant nonsense he began to repeatedly poke Milo's head. "Hello? Are you fucking listening? Anyone home? Fucking say something dumbass!" Brandon continued to nag at Milo and I was seconds away from standing up and literally fucking strangling him. I could tell Caleb was about to do the same, I watch how tight he clenched his fist as Brandon started poking harder.

Milo's face was calm, even though I knew he was raging inside. He didn't like people touching him. It was like the calm before abstorm.

"Let me show my trick that I didn't do earlier." He said just as Brandon went in to poke his head once again, Milo grabbed Brandon's wrist and pulled him over his head, making Brandon land on his backside with a groan.

All the children gasped before bursting out into fits of laughter. Brandon was pissed as he gave Milo a glare, but I decided I would take it from here.

I grabbed him by the collar and pulled him to before giving him a deadly stare. "Go sit your ass somewhere else before I fucking strangle your ass." I shoved him away and quickly stood up and stormed off, I didn't care to look where.

Im surprise Lisa didn't defend him, since they're on the same team. Or maybe they're just working towards the same goal, but aren't actually friends.

I heard Lisa whispering something, once I looked at her she stopped talking. Which was weird.

"Are you worried about me or something?" She said with a cheek to cheek smile. And I rolled my eyes at her.

"I was actually concerned about M-" A hand clapped over my mouth, I looked over and saw it was Milo's hand and he was basically on top of me.

"Making sure we get through this, now it's that guy's turn!" Milo shouts with a nervous chuckle before uncovering my mouth as he removed his gaze from Lisa and sat back down with a ne

As the guy continues to talk about his fear I stare at Milo with confusion. Something was up. He knows something and he isn't telling me. Why else would he cover my mouth.

What isn't he telling me?

Does he know why they're after Caleb?
