▪︎ Who Are These Guys? ▪︎

"Diego?" He was leading me to his old bedroom.

"Yes, My love?" He responded.

"Ooo 'My love' that's new." I giggled.

"Well you are the love of my life and I can't wait to spend the rest of it with you." Then I remembered the world is going to end in a few days, unless we help Five stops it from happening.

"One day I'll make you my wife." He picked me up and I wrapped my arms around his neck. I swallowed hard, worrying that that will never happen. He kissed my neck. He left wet kisses, leaving marks as he sucked.

"Are you okay?" He moved a strand of hair away from my face. I cupped his face with one hand.

"I just want you to know I'll love you even if for some odd reason we can't get married."

"I'll marry you even if the world was ending." I swallowed again, don't say that.

We continue to make out until we heard noises coming from the other room. Diego thought it was nothing but I heard a female voice. They said something about Wheaties.

"Babe I think there's someone here." He continues to kiss me, we were laying on the bed and he was on top of me. He brushed it off but I insisted someone was here.

We walked out of his bedroom to see two people in masks. One in a blue bear mask and the other in a pink dog mask. They started to shoot at us. I grow a vine shield to protect us. Diego started to fight the one in the blue mask, so I took the one in the pink mask.

I tried to grab them but they shot at my vines killing them off one by one. Diego grabbed me, they kept shooting at us. Diego and I went our separate ways. He jumped off the stairs while I tripped one of them making them drop their gun. I jumped off the stairs after that. They shot at me, I tried my best to block every bullet, but one of the bullets hit me in my dominant arm making me unable to use my powers. I curse under my breath in pain. I needed to find something to stop the bleeding. I run to the kitchen.

I look around, I found a towel. I looked through the junk drawer and found some rubber bands. I pulled off my shirt, my dominant arm was covered in blood. There were more shots fired. I quickly wrap the towel around my bullet wound, I made sure it was tight enough then I put the rubber bands on to keep it in place. I put my shirt back on. I was in pain but I needed to push through it because my family is in danger. Grab one of the knives that were on the counter. I was going to do my best at what I got.

Allison was being attacked by the one in the blue mask. Diego was punching at them trying to make them stop. Luther was in the main hall fighting the one in the pink mask. Vanya was watching from the corner not being able to do anything. Luther comes over to pick him up and throw him. They notice my blood-soaked shirt.

"Who the hell are these people?!" I yelled.

"Y/n what happened? You're bleeding." Allison asked. Diego ran up to me examining the blood.

"They shot me, but I think I'm fine, I'm just a little light-headed."

"Vanya take y/n to get fixed up we got these guys," Luther commanded, but I didn't want to go, I felt fine.

"I'm not going I'm fine," I stated.

"Baby go, now," Diego said sternly.

"I'm sorry but no."

"You need to go bef-" Diego was cut off but the bullets shooting at us again.

"Get out of here, go!"

"Luther, go!

One of them lost their guns so they stayed upstairs. I try and help Luther but the person he was fighting was tough. He flipped Luther, but now I have my chance. With everything I had left, I threw the knife, surprisingly hitting the person in the blue mask in the back of the thigh.

"Ah fuck!" He exclaimed, "I'm leaving." He pulled out the knife and stuck it in the wall. I run over to Luther to see if he's okay. That's when Allison and Diego come over to help him up, because clearly I can't do anything to help him up.

I was about to see if Vanya was okay but Luther pushed them out of the way. The heavy chandelier fell on him. I gasped thinking he just died, but I was wrong he got up but his clothes ripped off. He was covered in hair, is he a monkey? He runs upstairs in embarrassment. We were all shocked.

"Did you know?" Allison asked. We shook our heads. We went to go talk in the living room.

"Mom!" Diego exclaimed running upstairs. I hope nothing happened to her, that would kill Diego. Vanya, Allison and I were talking about what just happened, when feeling dizzy, I passed out and hit my head on the coffee table.
