Nightingale [ON HOLD TILL FURTHUR NOTICE *SORRY*]

No. 4

"Obviously they weren't that good, considering they're dead and all." I remarked with a smirk as her claw like nails dug into my wrist. I need to stop making comments like this. I retract my statement from earlier I do not like this crazy bitch. "Your lucky that Jax wants you alive else you'd be dead." she snarled pressing the guns barrel hard against my back. I could've turned and taken the gun from her before she shot me because a, she was physically shaking and b, her grip on me wasn't very tight. But I was going to milk this a little longer, she could spill some useful information. And that she did.

"So why exactly do you hate me so much, I get why Jax hates me but I don't even know you." I said still letting her pin me against the rotting, damp wood wall. "You killed my brother and I'm with Jax and he told me all the horrible things you've done." she furiously stated digging into my tender skin further drawing little beads of blood from the crescent moon cuts she had made. "Look if you want an apology don't count on it because its kill or be killed in this world. And as far as I'm concerned your brother most likely tried to kill me first. And as for all these horrible things I've done I won't deny it but he's done far worse." I said, as I began to wonder where Ri was sleeping and why Cass had reacted in such a way and where in gods name Nathan was.

"I don't care you killed him and when Jax has his hands on you I'm going to enjoy every painful second of what he's gonna do to you." she said with a creepy sense of delight to her words. "And here I thought we were going to have nice tea party with all of his friends." I said with a pout, I couldn't help it I loved the high I got whenever I was in a dangerous situation. Stop being so reckless, a voice inside me said but there was another voice much louder that said, do what you do best be the queen of recklessness. I, of course being the rational person I am, listened to the louder voice.

"How exactly are you planning on getting me from here to wherever the hell Jax is, hmm ?" I asked as she released her grip on me and backed up. I cautiously turned around keeping my hands up, I'm not that big of an idiot.

Most times.

Sometimes.

Okay, so every once in a while I make the right choice. "I have a gun don't I ? Plus he isn't far from here, only a few miles west of here, past the run down mill and bam Jax's camp." Ariel said as if she was talking to an idiot. Well obviously she had a gun, why else would I be doing what she said ?

"Ariel what are you doing ?" Nathan asked holding both hands up. Nathan's voice shocked Ariel and she ended up twisting around trying to shoot him. Nathan ducked just in time and I swivled my leg under hers causing her to fall to the ground. And to think a few years ago I would have just bitch slapped her.

I quickly grabbed the gun from her hands then slammed the butt of the gun down on the back of her head. I rolled her over so she was face up and saw that I had knocked her unconscious. "Was that really necessary ?" Nathan asked, as I put the gun on the nightstand . I shrugged "Would you have preferred it if I had let her shoot you ?" I asked as I stretched my back out causing Nathans shirt to raise above my stomach revealing my underwear. Nathan looked away immediately like a perfect gentleman, I do not recall those existing, even back when the world wasn't as destroyed as now.

"No, but you didn't have to knock her out." he replied picking Ariel up and laying her in the bed. I rolled my eyes, then made my way down the hall into the kitchen as I heard Nathans footsteps behind me. "Hey Nate I'm stealing your food." I said as I rummaged through the cupboards and found a bag of Dorito's.

I cracked a half smile as I pulled the mini bag of Dorito's out and hopped up onto the counter facing the stove. As I wolfed down the chips I had so dearly missed, I trailed my eyes along the kitchens interior. Most of the old plaid wall paper was cracked and peeling from corners, the stove looked just about ready to fall apart and the microwave didn't look much better.

"Well lookie here looks like our boy Nathan got a lil somethin' somethin'." someone wolf whistled from behind me. I let out a strangled cough as I turned around quick as a whip. "Excuse me ? Do you, I don't know, want to retract that statement before I rip your tongue out and make you eat it ?" I snapped glaring daggers at this black haired green eyed smirking smartass.

"You sure know how to pick 'em don't you Nate." He remarked as I jumped off the table about the punch the snarky asshole, when lo and behold, Nathan shows up just in time to catch my fist. I should've known he was around, who else would this green eyes idiot be talking to. "Lets not have any of that, come on we've had enough excitement for one day." he tutted as I wrenched my hand from his grip.

"Don't ever do that again. Either he defends himself or he gets a face full of fist. Got it ?" I hissed at Nathan, as I backed off. "Feisty, isn't she." The green eyed one said as I noticed him and two others sat around in fold up chairs stuffing their faces with the same gross thing that was in Nathans bowl that now lays broken on the wood floor in the other room.

"Dan, Lyn, Aaron this is Lily." Nathan said making the introductions, "Lily, this is Lyndon, Aaron and well you already know Dan."

"Lovely to make your acquaintance." Lyndon or in other words green eyes said his British decent showing. "Likewise." I grumbled crossing my hands over my chest. I glanced over at the third boy. Aaron had a freckled face with frizzy red hair and a pair of hazel eyes that I was looking at through a pair of lenses.

We stood their in an awkward silence as I glared at the overly good looking Brit and he obnoxiously smiled back at me. "Oh by the way anyone have any rope ?" I asked with a devilish grin. "Why ?" Dan asked glancing up at me. "Oh you know just to tie up your insane bitch." I remarked. Dan's nose flared and his eyes became slits, someone is definitely not in a good mood. I wonder why.

"Watch it, that's my girlfriend your talking about." Dan growled in a quiet and threatening tone. And I laughed, then he stood up and got all close up and personal. So I laughed more. This seemed extremely hilarious considering the circumstances.

Nathan had to hold him back as he tryed to pound my face in and Aaron and Lyndon just watched. After I got a hold of my laughter I righted myself.

"Why do we need to tie her up ?" Nathan asked. "Ahhh poor, poor innocent minded Nate, because she tried to kill me and she is working with someone whose been trying to kill me for a long, long time, not to mention she's cheating on Danny boy here with the same fella."

"Who ?" Everyone asked simultaneously. "Jax"
The room became deadly silent. Guess they'd met Jax. Lovely.
