"Your mom is a what?" Jacob asks staring at me with wide eyes.

Bad idea Autumn, bad idea.

"I'm sorry," I said quietly.

I stood up and walked out of the little diner. But Jacob came after to me and stopped in front on me, blocking my path.

"What?" I ask.

The wind picks up and I'm getting goosebumps. Summer still has my jacket. So I just wrap my arms around me.

"I don't judge, it's not my place to. But care to explain?" Jacob says.

Just tell him!

"Sure, but not here," I said.

Jacob nods and we start to walk towards the beach. I'm very cold now and Jacob seems to notice. So he takes off his jacket and puts it on me.

"Jacob you don't-"

"It okay. Keep it."

I smile and keep it on me. I wrap it around my body and instantly feel warm. Is his jacket warm? Or him?

"Okay so I guess I must begin my story. But keep in mind that I got all this from my aunts because they knew my mom and dad. And when they left, the three of them took care of me," I start.

Jacob nods and listens.

"Yes my mom was an assassin and that's how my mom and dad met. My mom lived by herself all the time. But she meets the group and I love everyone in the group for protecting my mom and I love them for being family."

"They go on all these crazy adventures and my mom survives death many times. She gets her throat slit but she still lives. And I have a little of that inside me as well. Mason has it too, but not as much as me."

"So one day, Hope is brought to the castle where she meets my aunts. Jasmine, Lucy, and Eve. My mother actually frees them. She saved four lives."

Jacob sticks his hand up. "Hold up, four lives?"

I nod. "Jasmine was pregnant. I never really knew the dad but my mom said I'll find out eventually. Anyways that kid is actually Lucas, my ex." I said his name like it was venom.

Jacob nods and asks, "Ex right? Nothing else?"

I smile. "Yup, nothing else."

He nods and a small smile forms on his lips. I look at the ground and continue.

"And since then, they took care of us. Like family and I loved them and still do with all my heart."

"So your mom and dad were basically assassins?" Jacob asks.

"Yeah, but please don't spread that around. They're still looking for my mother. You know, she has killed many people and that's why we moved here."

"They're still looking?"

"Yeah it's weird. She might be dead by now."

That last thing I said sent a knife in my chest. I still think she's alive, but she isn't. And I have to face it.

Jacob puts an arm around me and squeezes me. I wrap my arms around his torso and hug him.

He is so warm.

I hear him chuckle and I feel his chest rise and fall. I smile.

"So? Your not scared of an assassin's daughter?" I ask.
