Turned

*Secrets*

I furrowed my eye brows in confusion. Did he just say future king?

"Do not talk to her that way!" Lucas bellowed. Lucas and the man stared each other down for a few more moments before I spoke.

"What's your name?"

"Wouldn't you like to know...,"

"What is it?" I demanded.

He stared at me as if I spoke a foreign language.

"You obviously don't speak English so let me help you out. Come ti chiami?" <What is your name?>

"Mark." he growled.

"He speaks!" I chanted. Lucas and Mike chuckle, which made Mark growl.

"Explain something to me... future king? What are you talking about a future king?" I asked.

"You don't know?" Mark asked me.

"No, but it has something to do with me, so spill." I demanded.

He looked behind him at Lucas and Mike. Lucas shook his head at Mark, It was so small, I almost missed it. I walked around Mark and head Lucas' way.

"What are you hiding, Lucas?!" I growled. "I have a right to know what you guys are talking about!" I yelled when he didn't answer.

"I told you, I will tell you when the time comes."

"WHO IS THE FUTURE KING? WHAT WAS HE TALKING ABOUT?!" I was furious.

"Jesus, woman, what do you not understand about I. WILL. TELL. YOU. WHEN. THE. TIME. COMES?!"

It was the first time he yelled at me. I haven't known him for long but I've never been yelled at before, and coming from him... it hurt.

I glared at him once more before I stormed off towards the car. I walked six steps before I heard someone running towards me. I didn't have to look to know it was Lucas.

"Wait, Bri." He said and grabbed the tip of my elbow gently.

Yanking my arm away from him, I yelled at him. "Don't touch me! And don't ever  talk to me like that!"

"Look, Bri, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell."

"What's the big deal anyway? Why can't you tell me?"

"I don't want to scare you away." he said simply.

"It's going to take a lot more than a secret to scare me away." I said calmly. "Tell me, please."

"I can't."

I sighed and shook my head. "Whatever." I started to walk back to the car and my heart shattered when he didn't follow me.

When I made it to the car I found Rachel was awake and looking at me with a confused expression. "What just happened?" She asked. I shrugged my shoulders as silent tears streamed down my face. Why I was crying, I didn't know. I leaned on her shoulder and feel into a stressful sleep.

**********

I woke up as strong arms wrapped around my legs and torso. I smelt the musky cologne that I assumed belonged to Lucas and, on instinct, I snuggled closer to his chest. Lucas and Mike were talking but I was too tired to understand what they were saying. I tried to listen as I bounced, still trying to play off as asleep.

"perchè non raccontare lei, l'uomo?" Mike's voice registered in my mind. <Why not tell her, man?>

"la voglio ella to cadere per me primo." Lucas said. <I want her to fall for me first.>
