Lui

"Hey Lui before you go! I want to ask you a question. Where were you out last night?" Mini asked me. I felt my gut freeze inside of my stomach and I sat up in my chair. "Fresh air" I said calmly. "Oh really? Then why was Vulture with you and why were you more than 50 miles away from the house?" He protested. I rolled my eyes at this moment. "Look, you aren't my dad and don't always have to look after me. We both needed a break from this place. Don't you ever just want to be normal sometimes?-" mini got mad and hit the table. "—We aren't normal and will never be! We are targeted people and always have our lives on the line wherever we go! I don't want to loose you like Catz!" He nearly screamed and I put my head down in shame. He was only protecting me and keeping me safe, I should respect him for that.

"You just have to make sure someone else is with you. I don't want anyone leaving alone. That's how we lost Catz.." He nearly quieted down and we saw Vanoss and Vulture walk into the room. "Woah what's going on here? Me and Vulture was about to go and get some food" Vanoss spoke out. "I'll talk to you later Vanoss but go on" Mini said walking past all three of us.

He looked at me and moved his head towards vulture and I smiled softly spoke up. "I'll come" I said then I heard Wildcat come into the room. "Me too wait up" he said as we walked outside. "We should go just get pizza tonight.." Wildcat said and we all kind of agreed. I don't think anyone was in the mood to cook tonight. I totally am not after being yelled at like that, especially after being talked to about Catz. I feel triggered

We got back to the warehouse and ate. It was about ten o-clock now and many of us were just playing games. There wasn't any rules and limits on going to sleep early or late so just stay up how long we want but practice is going to eat you in the ass. We are all forced to wake up at 6 and practice at 6:30

Well, there are rules.

Rule #1, always be there for each other

Rule #2, no exposing to others not in this crew/family

Rule #3, practice at being the best.

"Lui and Vulture, to my office now" Vanoss spoke with venom in a matter of minutes, snapping me out of my thoughts. I gave him a nod and waited for Vulture. "Jeesh is he always so controlling?" She asked in a quiet tone of voice. I snickered and laughed and Vanoss had turned around at us a couple of times.

When we got into his room, he turned around to face us. "What the hell is wrong with you two? Are you actually trying to sacrifice yourselves?" He yelled. "What?" Vulture asked but I touched her shoulder to calm her down. "If Mini just told you.. We just drove out for a while because we needed some space" I said. "What's that got to do with you being miles away from here! You could have died! You could have went a couple of blocks away or towards the hills instead of being 50 miles away! Did you know we lost track of you both when you went away?" He said most sternly than ever. "Look I'm sorry but if you are going to control me as if I am a voodoo doll or some shit, I'm out of here. Good luck but I'm out" I screamed, so fed up with him.

I stared at Vanoss once Lui had gone out the door. "Fuck" he yelled and went after Lui. I sighed and stood there. Why is this much more than I thought? I followed and went towards the living room and saw Nogla, Mini and Wildcat running out the door as soon as I walked right in. I frowned and slowly sank into a seat next to me. It was a tall stool leaning against the kitchen area. I felt a presence next to me which made my hair so static and my body stiffened, sending chills down my spine.

I took the chance to turn around until I felt hands muffle around my mouth and eyes before I could see who it was. I was breathing heavily and trying to kick whoever was on me but it was no use. "Hey what the fu-" the sound of Delirious's voice shouted. He was cut off by a punch. I could hear him being hit because there was a small pound plus him being cut off. I screamed in the mans hand and tried to go to follow Delirious's voice. What if he was shot? I started to panic mentally and physically now. I was lifted off the ground and and hauled somewhere else. How did they get in here?!

My throat hurt for trying to get someone's attention but it was no use because soon enough I was punched and knocked out, flat....
