Queen POV

~ the Demon Gang house

Im here in the meeting room waiting for the rest of the crew to get here.  I sent them a message by saying "I need to speak with you all" and of course it didn't took long for them to arrive. The door cracks and the four of them quietly sat down to their own chair. I spin around.

"So I decided that we are going to this race tonight, as I think you guys already know. But before I begin of what this meeting is all about."
I paused and turned my direction to Nekka. "Mind telling us what actually happened."
I didn't asked her if she would tell us everything, although that seems like a question but it isn't. 

"Yes of course, Queen."
She took a deep breath and continued to talk about how it all started. Basically when they were on a date, she felt butterflies and so happy and that's where it all started. After that Zach was incredibly gentle, sweet, understanding and so spontaneous. She felt like her and Zach could be something or maybe they are meant for each other. So last week they started dating.
"Well, I know that this is all so sudden but my feelings for Zach is true and this can't just be a game to me. I feel like I could connect with him as we have so much in common. (All of us cleared our throat as a sign of saying "Yes we know -then make a weird face about it") Aye! Don't make that face!! But anyways I know love doesn't exist to us anymore but what I do know is that I am falling for Zach and I'm sorry for not saying anything about that."
Nekka said in a very sincere and serious way. Nekka have always been childish, energetic, bubbly and all that but never once in my life i've seen her being like this. I can tell that she has been so happy for the pass few weeks. I guess she truly do have feelings for zach. I just hope that this will go well.

I see but you realise that there will be consequences of this right? It's your life Nek but I just hope you are making the right choices about this and your life. I don't want any of you to get hurt.
I said in a cold way. I turned around from them , to hide my sadness behind my blank and cold impression

"Nek, We are happy for you and we respect your decision. But I don't trust those guys yet."
Hailey said in a very serious way. Hailey is usually the bad bitch/tomboy. She's into sports and all that. She have a quick temper and hard to approach. She is quick to jump to conclusion and to explode. She's hard as a rock. It's hard to gain approval from her and she's very hard when it comes to trusting people. The others just nod to what Hailey said. I know they don't trust them but they are beginning to, except for me and Hailey. Sam is recently flirting with Alex and Thalia and Nathan are getting closer.

"I know and Thank you for looking out all of you" -she said but I know I can feel a bitterness in her smile. A painful truth that we are all going to face sooner or later. There is going to be a war again. A war between our enemies but this time. It might be more complicated than before.

"Nekka don't sweat it. Everything will be okay."
Nekka smiles at her so, Thalia looked at me with a blank question mark face. Before I could even said something.

"So, Queen what's the meeting all about? Also can I just ask why did you have to agreed to race with that stupid ugly clown girl?
Sam asked looking so confused.

"Well. As you know everyone is aware that we are alive and that we are back in business. So, enemies will come after us and I got a feeling there's going to be a war again. But this time. It's going to be big. As for the race, I just wanted her to eat her disgusting words."
I've never been so worried about something like this in my whole life. But this time. This war is going to be ugly and I don't know if we'll win or not.

"You mean they already made a move?"
Nathalia asked in disbelief. Everyone is in shocked. My impression and my aura wasn't helping when I told them that. Yep this is a big problem. Our enemy were fighting head to toe with us. So there's no doubt that they are going to be more terrifying and stronger than before.

"So is this why we need the training? Come on Queen. Don't tell me you are doubting about us winning."
Hailey said. She's mad. Her mood changes as if she is challenging me. I didn't know what to say. So I stayed quite. She chuckled in a fake and angry way.

"I know what they put you through but acting like this as a Queen of the underworlds and to our Gang. Is nothing but a pathetic cowardly act."
Nathalia stood up angrily. I know what Hailey said but I can't bring myself to speak. The memories keep replying in my brain and it hurts.

"HAILEY STOP!! What happened isn't just simple Hailey. You know who our enemy and how they fought us with the same ability. The battle was tie but for a fight like that is a bad news to us. They are dangerous than we thought! So don't you dare say anything to her like that."
Hailey looked at Nathalia. Hailey didn't said anything back. She knows she was wrong but I know that she was right. But as a Queen I can't repeat history again.

"Thalia, sit down."I looked at Hailey. She sat down straight. My mood changed into anger.
"Hailey. You are my friend but don't forget. I am the Queen. If I ever hear you talk to me like that or I paused and look at her dead straight in her eyes. My eyes turn cold red.  As if I look like I'm about to kill her. I can feel her heart increases. I can feel that I might lose my mind if I stay like this.
Else, things might get uglier. Our enemy isn't just some weak people. Remember that and I certainly don't want the history to repeat itself again. But there's a big war coming. A war that could end us."
I could tell that when I was speaking. My voice we're getting colder and colder and my eyes were turning into more red. I signal Nathalia what to do and then I disappear like a shadow. I went into my room and grab my medicine to help me calm down when I'm like this. Am I scared to face them or am I scared to lose them? It's true. This war could be the end of us. I know that they won't stop unless they kill me well that was they wanted but now I'm not sure. I think they want to get rid of everyone who has something to do with me. They already took him away, so it's not impossible they will do the same thing again.
