Ticking Time Trouble (PpgzxRrbz Kids) |Book 4|

Chapter 9 (All)

Benjamin couldn't think because Zoey stabbed another arrow in his arm. Benjamin hissed from the pain and looked at it. He can't pull it out, even though he would like too, and jumped forward. With his arm he grabbed her shirt bring them down. He saw she has something around her ankles.

"You're a liar!" Benjamin yelled as they crashed in the sand.

Glass surrounded them. Zoey sighed as she rolled her eyes. As if she hears that every day. Benjamin prays that his father wasn't a complete idiot. He prays that he wrapped it before he taps it. Yet, looking at her, Benjamin isn't so sure that Brick, his father, was smart. 

"Benjamin!" He heard Bentley yelled. "Get angry like the Hulk!"

"What?" Benjamin asked.

He looked around the blonde but didn't see him. Zoey looked over with wide eyes. She smiled as she reached down the tapped her ankles. Zoey flew towards Bentley but Benjamin jumped on her back. She let out a colorful word as they swung around a little bit.

"Bentley! Get out of here!" Benjamin yelled.

"Don't get angry at me!" Bentley yelled.

"She's after you! Anika sent her after you!" 

"Dude, seriously?"

"Yes!"

"Benji!" Beatrix yelled as she rushed outside.

She saw her twin on the back of a girl. Beatrix is taken back and confusion was written across her face. Benjamin rolled his eyes knowing what his sister is thinking. He jerked his head toward the arrow. Beatrix nodded understanding what he meant.

Beatrix formed her tiara spear and narrowed her eyes towards his arm. Benjamin is trusting her to cut off the big arrow part so he works better. She needs to make sure that he lost his other arm. Beatrix threw her tiara and cut off a large portion of the wooden arrow.

"Thanks!" Benjamin yelled as he leaned most of his body weight down.

The two teenagers crashed into the ground. Benjamin groaned as his jaw cracked underneath the pressure. He rolled off and rubbed his jaw. He looked around and saw Zoey slamming her hand on her ankle.

"You loser! Anika is going to be so mad at me if I don't take out Bentley." Zoey said.

"Take me out?" Bentley asked.

"Not like a date," Bast said as she jumped on the ledge.

"Oh, thank God," Bentley muttered.

"Why are you fighting away, Benjamin? You're my half-brother, help me out. Don't act like you don't want answers, right? You wanna know about Ethan and we know Ethan!" Zoey said.

Benjamin looked at her. He felt all eyes on him. He looked up to see Beatrix's eyes widen, Bentley, making a disgusted face, Bast looking for an opening and Python. Python is staring down at him with narrowed eyes.

Benjamin knows if he takes upon Zoey's offer he will be forever ignored. Python will go crazy because of Bartholomew missing and Ethan being his brother. Beatrix looks like she needs some explanation but he doesn't have any. Benjamin stood up, shakily, and moved a couple steps backward. 

He's getting ready for Bast to strike and doesn't want to be in the way. 

"I have a question," Benjamin said.

Zoey sighed, "Go ahead. We will tell you everything you want to know. All I want is Bentley so Anika can stop freaking out! That's not the drama I want."
