Past Curfew

7. Missing

 

Ryder's POV

I watch Nico trying to fight death. He was struggling and I knew, we all knew, that he wasn't going to make it. I kneel down next to his body and look around at the other's. I turn back to him, sadness in my movements. “I’m sorry I couldn't protect you.”
I grab his head and his body and quickly snap his neck, looking away. I stand up with tears in my eyes and turn from the gang, "Let's go home." I say just loud enough so they can hear.
"Boss? Where’s Octavia?" I hear someone say. I freeze, quickly scanning the crowd, she is nowhere to be found."Phoenix, search everywhere until you find her, you know we cannot lose her!" I yell, "someone help him!"

About ten people split off to help him as the rest of us head back to the isolated warehouse. I knew she shouldn't have joined in this fight, but I knew if I told her not to she would've just defied me anyway. If they have her, they will be good as dead, or at least wish they were. I will shred them to pieces and keep their heads as souvenirs. We get back to the abandoned building and dash upstairs, not really wanting to talk to each other. We all just need to collect our thoughts. Alone. I lie on my bed and look at the ceiling. I let out a tired sigh and just hope to whatever god there is that she will be ok.

I hear the door open and feel someone sit on my lap. Claws drag gently down my chest heading towards my jeans.
"Kitty, not now." I growl, I look up at her with a vicious glare.
"Baby, don't look at me like that, this'll make you feel better," she purrs "we all need to...unwind." I groan, but not in satisfaction but in annoyance.
"Go away, Kitty." I grit out.
"But bab-"
"Fuck off Veronica. People have died tonight and all you care about is fucking sex?" I push her off my lap and I hear her smack against the floor. She quickly stands up and runs out of the room with her head down and confused tears in her eyes. I let out an annoyed growl. Great, now i’m the bad guy. I roll my eyes when I hear a knock at the door. "What!" I yell, already aggravated.  The door opens and Phoenix walks in, sadness rolling in his eyes.
“Boss, we can’t find her.” He says quietly. Suddenly all the anger vanishes from me replaced with confusion. She wouldn’t run from a fight, and she has no reason to just run away, right? I don’t really want to think about it, but if The Fangs do have her, I don’t know what I will do.
“Send more scouts,” I order standing from my bed “and I want to know where Felix is hiding.”
“We looked everywhere, the only place I can think of is-”
“Don’t!” I yell cutting him off before he can say it. “Send more scouts. That’s an order.”
Phoenix nods and darts out of the room just as quickly as he entered. I yell angrily and spin around, my fist colliding with the mirror. Glass scatters all over the floor and my knuckles split open. I hiss at the dull pain as blood starts dripping from my fist onto the glassy wooden floor. “Fuck,” I growl. I need some sleep. I walk into the bathroom and wash the blood off my hands. The cuts are already starting to heal. I stare up at my reflection. I look like a man on the verge of losing his mind.
Where the hell is she?
I was getting agitated. I can’t sit around and do nothing while she is out there. I sit on the bed and put my face in my hands. I need to get my mind off things. I look at the glass on the floor, debating whether or not I should clean it up. I turn around and leave the room. I’ĺl get Kitty to clean it later.

 

Blake POV

I look at Dan across the room, he hasn’t talked to me at all since that night. We are kind of just staring at each other, him glaring at me and me responding with a blank look. Bobby enters the room and groans.
“You guys need to sort your shit out. Talk, do something. Just whatever you do, stop staring at each other. It’s fucking annoying.” Bobby nags.
“He has a point, Dan. Say something.” I demand. Dan leans forward, with his arms on his knees.
“You want to know what I think Blake, I think that you’re a crazy mother fucker who is putting all of us in danger. What do you see in those blood suckers, huh? Tell me, because all I see are preditors that deserve to die.” He spits with spite.
“Yeah, I see that too, but Octavia is-”
“Wait, you know it’s name?” Dan growls, cutting me off. I roll my eyes at him and get up to go to the kitchen. Once I grab a bag of chips, I sit back down on the couch and start talking to him again.
“Listen, I trust her alright?” I watch as Dan shakes his head and stands up from the couch.
“I never thought that my best friend could trust one of those things, I guess I was wrong.” He says before walking out.
“Wait, you’re going out with vampire?” Bobby asks, the first thing he has said in what feels like forever.
“Bobby, I think I’m in love with her.”
