Instinct

Chapter 16

I tuck the unnamed boy in my bed, and wipe the drool from his parted lips with my thumb. When I walked in Hunter was passed out on the couch, I didn't want to wake him up. I wrote a quick note to everyone in the pack to look after the kid and take care of his injuries and not make fun of his talking quirk.

Swiftly I climb onto the roof and watch as the clouds pass the sun slowly. Wow I must have all the time in the world if I'm just going to watch clouds pass by and wait for someone to get me. Dylan and Brook walk into the house followed by Wolf and Eden. I hope they look after that kid, I'm not too worried bout my health. Them, one the other hand, I know they won't stand a chance against Autumn and his flunkies. I sigh as an image of the pack, excluding me, smiling. At least now I know they'll be happy if I suddenly stopped breathing. If my heart suddenly stopped beating. That way I know that I can everything and everyone and have no regrets.

"But you look like someone who would have a sibling." Dylan pipes up, I sigh sometimes he can be such an idiot,

"That's because I did. He was going to be twenty this year." Brook sighs, wait- she did?

"Did Autumn get to him before death?" Hunter yawns, I wouldn't be surprised if Autumn did or if he died by his own hand. No one wants to live in a place like this and watch your family suffer,

"No, suicide. He hung himself in our house two years ago, it was exactly three months before I met Hunter." She chokes, I take it that she's crying and the boys' eyes are widening due to shock.

"I'm sorry." Eden mumbles, I chuckle dryly, what for? You're not the one who killed him. You're not the one who came up with these rules. You're too nice Eden. Nice people don't live in parts of town like this.

There's a crash downstairs, I ignore it and continue to glaze out at the Grey sky. There's talking and more talking. I clench my fists and jump off the roof and onto the steps that link my apartment and road together, I'll go back in a few. I'm not in the mood for rubbish. I kick an empty can and it accidently hits a homeless man, he glares at me and happily glare back to him and throw one of my throwing knives just short of his neck to scare him off. He stumbles away and I take the knife to put into my back pocket of my ripped trousers.

Damned rich people buying ripped jeans for alotta cash when there's people wearing their trousers until its basically formed one of those lingerie that the wives wear to pleasure their husband or partner or whatever. I shiver in disgust; all the food you can buy in Cheney is probably the equivalent to a rich person's breakfast. Damned humans don't know how to use money.

****

I hold my ear to the apartment door only to hear Dylan and Hunter cursing under their breath and Brook's silent tears. Wait... where's Eden? I slam the door open furiously to see a bustard clad in white making a move on Eden who has tears streaming down his face. WHY AREN'T THEY DOING ANYTHING?! SHIT! That must mean we're surrounded. I glare at the bastard,

"Long time no see." He smirks at me and releases Eden, I snap my eyes to the shivering boy. Brook recklessly runs to him and holds him close, I sigh he's going to be okay.

"Don't talk to me you bastard." I shoot a pointed glare at the smirking rich man,

"D-dude y-you know HIM?!" Dylan shouts overwhelmed, I ignore his outburst. This isn't time to get distracted,

"Is that any way to talk to your dad?" he taunts, I spit at his face and he scowls at me,

"Oh please, you were never a person who I would call my dad. The moment you walked from our life I would never let you in. Mum was too good for you." I spit,
