Badass Ballerina

chapter eleven~ oscar nominee

Ryder's POV

"Jace leave." I snap.

"Why should I there's a price on that girl and a high one at that." Jace takes a step forward.

A knock comes at the door, well more like a bang as Chase steps in. He looks angry, furious as a the pair fight. Chase's arm is snapped backwards. Fuck that must hurt, I carry her upstairs away to safety. But where does her safety reside anymore, why do they want her dead?

As I lock her door and rush downstairs sprinting towards Jace. He's gone and Chase has gone. How did they disappear so quickly?

"We need to guard her more." My dad says down a phone, he stops talking when he see's me.

"I'm going to bed." I run back up and unlock her door.

********

Stretching in the morning. Jace left last night, and I put her to bed in an old t shirt in the room next to mine. I've got school today, as I change into my jeans I go downstairs shirtless. Mainly because my top needs ironing.

Bumping into a soft body, my arms swing round and grab Octavia's waist. Her breath hitches as she I grab her, I smirk at her reaction. Her hair is up in a messy bun and she's got her glasses on. Plus my shirt.

"That shirt suits you." I whisper next to her ear as she shivers.

"Shadow blaze, I think I prefer the name tigress." Nibbling her ear as I shove her against the wall.

Blocking the exits both my arms at the sides of her head. Leaning in to her, she gazes at me I see her eyes start to cloud with lust. Kissing her as my hands sweep behind her as she moulds perfectly to my body. Hearing whoops from Zac and Damon, liam is laughing. My mates bloody twats.

Pulling apart her face is flushed and warm, she hides her face in my neck.

"Way to score the bird!" Damon looks at me.

Suddenly feeling shocked as she trails kisses to my ear. Groaning out.

"Get a room the pair on you." Liam jokes.

"Maybe we should." Octavia giggles.

Cuddling up to her, she is so cute, feisty and everything I love. Love, do I love her?

"Come on I need my breakfast." Octavia drags me to the kitchen.

Her shirt or rather mine swings loosely by her backside. Damn. Smirking at me she gazes at me from over her shoulder.

"See something you like." Octavia smirks confidently.

In the kitchen Esmay and my mum are cooking breakfast which is just a massive fry up and a bowl of muesli for Octavia. She grins and basically devours the cereal just as Zac, Damon and liam all begin to chow down on the food.

"Taste's good." Damon winks at my mum.

Octavia gets up and walks away, Esmay looks at her.

"That shirt dear is a little short." Esmay scolds.

"I like it, it smells like Ryder." Everyone looks at me, just as she walks away.

"If you touch my daughter even if I've known you since you were born. I will rip your balls off if you hurt her." Jack face is serious and dark.

"Okay. ...." I laugh nervously just as she walks back in.

"So nerd you really going to wear that even though we all know. Nerd my ass." Liam tells her.

"Oh well." Turning to me.

"I agree." I say.

"What?!" She says.

"Well dear the act was Oscar winning but we've discovered your tricks of the trade." Damon puts two fingers under her chin and lifts her chin up so she is looking directly at him.

"So I just give up the nerd thing and become a smart badass street- fighting ballerina who has several lunatics after her." She about sums herself up.

"Well yeah." I say to her.

Suddenly grabbing Damon's hand and physically flipping him over so he lands harshly on his back.

"Touch me again and I swear it'll be worst." She winks and blows a kiss just as she turns and walks away.

Later on....

"Guys come on." Octavia shouts to us all just as we leave.

Her long hair is curled, wearing a pair of black high waisted jeans with a cute cold shoulder sweater and a knitted beanie. Plus her combats, the only difference is her clothes are fitted and don't seem to make her look fat.

We all get into our cars and her in mine, she sits next to me as listen to cheesy songs. Singing along to Ellie Golding love me like you do, I'm terrible but not her even messing around her voice is angelic.

Getting to school we get out, everyone is gob smacked. Her and I together with the bad boys. Yes and she's mine, so stop staring. Glaring at the whole male population of the school, who just watch as she skips in front.

Zac goes and grabs his recent fling Lily I think, he then proceeds to shove his tongue down her throat. Gross man. Liam winks at his boyfriend James, they are cool. We accept liam because like he says.

Zac is the fuckboy and heart breaker.

Damon is the charming heart throb.

Liam is the gay one everyone wants.

I am the mysterious cool one.

But unfortunately I've been tangled by her. Octavia turns around and smiles at me. Striding over to her, as I pull her into a hug. She seems to relax into my arms... My arms is where I know she belongs.... But is it where she would stay....

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

Authors note:

Yeah. Goody. Maybe there will be a happy ever after, yeah right things will never stay this calm and peaceful. Sorry for rushing the first real encounter and conflict with Jace but the real drama will begin very soon.

So here we go...

Who is the guy that wants Octavia?

What really happened to Octavia?

Do you want a POV from chase and more from Ryder?

Also the l bomb when will it be dropped?

And when the fuck will Ryder grow some balls and take her out on a date?
