Safe House ➳ Sidemen

Lost Hope and Bent On Revenge

Simon

It was Tuesday. Three days since me and Sophie talked to Reese, over four days since Allie went missing. No one would even talk to me, let alone agree to go to Cambridge.

Everyone hated me, except for Sophie and Josh.

The house was full of screaming, rather it was fights or breakdowns, but it was loud.

I preferred to stay in my room, looking over my notes on my desk. Sophie came in sometimes to rant about Vikk or tell me about new information. I hadn't seen anyone else in days. Maybe there was a way I could fix this. Maybe I could find a crossroads demon and trade my life for Harry's.

It may have been the angel who killed him, but it was, without a doubt, my fault. Harry's blood was on my hands.

If Harry was coming back, then I was the one who had to do it.

I looked over at the clock, it was nine in the afternoon.... Or at night might be a better way to say it. God I was tired.

I got up from the chair and rubbed my eyes, before walking to my bed. Guns laid out all over it, some with actual bullets and some loaded with rock salt. I grabbed one with the bullets. It was a mystery, something as small as a rock could kill something in one shot. It could end a human life in seconds.

I stared at the gun for a minute. It could end my life. Maybe it would be better if I did. Everyone in the house hated me anyways.

I put the gun down. Nope. I was too much of a pussy to do it.

I grabbed the bigger gun full of rock salt and a shotgun with actual bullets Harry crafted a few weeks back that were sure to kill demons and Angels. Well, might as well use them now.

I put everything in a duffel bag along with a few other things I would need. I was going to try and get some answers.

I walked down and out of the house without making any sound, so no one would notice me gone. It was easier that way.

And I didn't want to talk to anyone.

Of course, I never got my wish and as soon as I started the car the passenger door opened. I didn't even bother to look at them, "Go away Sophie"

"Try again" a male voice said. I sighed and looked over at them.

"Go away Josh"

"Nah. Where we going?" He says, putting the seat belt on. He wasn't going anywhere. So you know what? He could come with me. It'd be easier. I didn't have to talk to him or anything.

I started the car and drove off, not uttering a single word. Which Josh noticed and so he began talking, "You know, I think I've gotten a few people to agree to come to Cambridge. Freya isn't all the keen on the idea, but Jide and Tobi both agreed"

"Great" I mutter. Both those two hadn't talked to me since Harry died and I could only assume they hated my guts.

"You know. I think people are beginning to realize that this fighting won't solve anything. However they still are. Lucy and Chris haven't even been able to stand in the same room, Vikk and Sophie are both glaring at each other, there talk about kicking you out of the house"

I scoffed, "As to be expected"

"Don't worry, I won't let them. You're just as hurt as the rest of it and on top of it all you lost Allie too, and that must be hard"

I looked over at Josh for a quick moment. He made me feel like I was still important, like I wasn't just the person who got Harry killed.

"You know. I don't know what you are doing out in the night. But if it has something to do with a deal I'm not going to let you do it" Josh says. There was always something about Josh, he always knew exactly what I was going to do based on my actions and words.

"My life isn't worth anything. If I were to bring Harry back then at least everyone else would be fine"

"I wouldn't" Josh states. Which made me smile for a second. But then I fell back into the never ending pit of misery.

"You would be fine after a couple days. I haven't left a big imprint on this group, Harry did. At least, if I give up my life in the end it could mean something"

Josh groaned, "Simon you can't shut it! Alright? This isn't the Simon I know! You know something? I've already lost you once, remember that? I was a mess and so was everyone else!"

I was taken a back from that. But he was just saying it because I was there. "You'd still have me for ten more years, so it's not like you won't see me ever again. Plus this way Harry gets to come back"

Josh smacked his head, "And I won't be anymore ready to lose you in ten years. Harry is already dead and there's nothing we can do about it. If we really want to deal with it then we are going to march our asses over to Cambridge and kill there very person responsible for this"

"After we save Allie" I state, agreeing to the rest of it. Josh was right. A deal wasn't going to solve anything, it never did.

"Yes. Think about Allie too, if she were here right now she would be giving you the same talk. Plus, if your gone... Who is going to save her?"

I sighed, "You're right"

However I didn't turn around or anything and go back home, I kept driving until we hit a crossroads.

"What the hell are we doing here?" Josh says.

"Getting answers"

We walked out and I started the ritual. I wasn't summoning a demon, so this was going to take a while. I needed a certain angel, one who, I just learnt had a special way to summon.

"Simon Minter and Joshua Bradley, I would have never thought you'd be the ones to summon me" a voice said from behind. We turned around. A man stood there, his light hair shining in the moonlight.

"You're Mitchell I presume"

"I go by many names, but yes, yes I am" Josh grabbed the angel blade that was laying on the ground, Mitchell snapped his fingers and it was gone. "Now now, my meeting are completely violence free"

We stood there not really knowing what to do, seeing as he could kill us at any moment.

"So you're the one who killed Harry" Josh says.

"Correction, I am the one who ordered Anael to kill Harry. I don't get my hands dirty"

I clenched my fist, "So you have Allie then"

Mitchell smirked, "It's complicated you could say. But yes, I did have Alexsandra"

"Did?"

"Alexsandra, well. She was stubborn, it was only a matter of time before she figured everything out" Mitchell coos, walking over to me. He placed a hand on my chin and made it so I was looking directly into his cold eyes, "So. I killed her"

"No" the word slipped out of my mouth. I clenched my fist and went to punch Mitchell, but didn't have the energy. It felt as if I had just gotten stabbed through the back.

"Oh yes. She put up a real fight as well. I can still hear her crying in pain as I burnt her vessel to the ground, slowly. She even called your name a few times"

Anger built up inside and I went to attack him, but then he moved away. "Nope. You want to get me? You're going to have to fight me in Cambridge"

And the he was gone. I sunk to my knees, I didn't even notice I was crying until Josh say down next to me and wiped a tear away from my cheek. Every emotion ran through me, pain and anger being the most bold.

Allie was gone. I didn't know how to take it. But she was gone.

I knew what I needed to do.

"We're going to Cambridge, for Allie"

Oops. Also MiniZerk moments arising? Don't worry, we all know what ship is end game.
