ACHE: A Sevix Story(On Hold)

Chapter Ten

Six
---------

It's been at least four or five days since I kissed Seven, and things couldn't be more akward. Yes, I was happy that we kissed, but still. How can I be in a relashionship? And in the Maw out of all places? It's just too risky. Im already too attached to the group, and Seven? I can't really explain my feelings for him right now...

"Six, are you okay? You went quiet a few minutes ago and your starting to worry me. Everything alright? Amaryllis's voice jerks me out of my thoughts. Amaryllis and I were out of camp to check some traps; I had almost forgotton. "Oh, yeah im fine. Was I sappost to be talking?" I ask, sarcastically. "Oh, no. You were just a bit quieter than usual." A few moments pass before Amaryllis speaks again. "So.. How are things going with you and Seven?" My heart leaps into my throat, leaving me with a suprised tone. "What are you talking about! Everythings fine. Everythings normal..!" I internally facepalm for sounding so unconvincing. "Oh come on, Six! Its clear you two have a thing going on. Im not trying to make you uncomfortable.. I only asked because you've been avoiding him lately." Is it that obvious..? I frown, furrowing my brow. "I mean, its pretty obvious... Five and Three asked me if I knew what had happened between you two, but I answerd with a no. I sigh with releif, making Amaryllis smile with amusement. "Dont worry, your secret is safe with me. I wont tell anyone unless your comfortable." Amaryllis gives me a freindly smile. "Thanks, Amaryllis." I say, giving her a small smile.

Once Amaryllis and I checked all the traps, (mousetraps that the group had stole from the janitor) we returned with two mouses in about an hour. With our return, we were greeted by One and Two. "Nice catches.. Those should feed us for the rest of the week." Two commented, giving us a small smile. Two rarely smiles, but he has his moments time to time.

One, on the other hand, wasn't as talkative as usual. She seemed to glance at me far to long for my comfort zone, so I simply turned my head to her and walked over the campfire with Amaryllis, where Three and Seven were beginning to make a fire. "Here's the catch for the day!" Amaryllis says with a freindly smile, holding up one rat with both hands. "Oh, hi you two. Amaryllis, you can put the rat your holding over there. Six, you can put the other in the Food Storage. I simply nod to Seven, quickly pacing over towards the food storing area. This is the place where we keep all of our stored food, considering the name. We have a few other things in here; Two small loaves of bread, and a sausage. I place the deceased rat on a board so its not sitting on the dirt and turn around to leave, only to find One standing in the doorway with narrowed eyes. "Is everything alright?" I ask, raising a brow. One is oddly silent for a moment, before replying with a stern tone. "No wonder you survived those leeches." She says, a hint of curiosity in her tone. "I didn't beleive him at first, but I took the idea into thought." I stare at her, confusion creeping it's way onto my face. What is she talking about? "What the hell's gotten you so worked up?" I ask, slightly defensive. One steps forward, getting close to me. Just as she does, I notice the small shine of a metal object in her hand. Before I get a better look, One lunges forward, pointing what turned out to be a sharp peice of bent metal towards me.

Suddenly, black matter lunges out of my hand, wrapping itself around One's wrist, forcing her to drop her 'weapon'. The black matter dissapears just as quick as it appeared once One relax, making her scoff.  "So Seven was right.. You do have powers."

My breath hitches in my throat, my eyes growing wide. He told her... What the fuck? "Seven told me it was triggered when you were in danger.. I guess he was right." One snarls at me. Im silent. Shock, frustration and betrayal coursing through my body. Why? "A week back after your first mission, Five told me you had pinned him to a wall and tried to choke him with that 'power' of yours, but I didn't believe him.." One says, spitting venom at me. "Did you really think I-" "SHUT UP! Just... Shut up." I say, quickly shoving past One to leave. I furrow my brow, a snarl crossing my face. How could he? Ratting me out to One like that!? "SEVEN!" I yell with a snarl, walking towards the camp fire. Amaryllis, Five, Seven, and Two all look up, suprised looks on there faces. I grab Seven's wrist forcefully, dragging him towards the camp's entrance. 'You have some fucking explaining to do!"

I drag Seven as far away from camp as I possibly can, before finally letting go of his wrist. When I do, I turn to face him, my fists clenched. "So you told One, huh?" I ask, my voice venomous.

"Six! Listen, I can explain... I just-" "Explain what!? That you ratted me out to One, out of all people! Without fucking telling me?"  I ask, growling. "No! Look, Six.. I've been worried about you..! Your powers are dangerous, even you know that! I don't want anything to happen to you!" I scoff. "And you think One is sappost to help me me how? Was this your best idea? To make me so mad that I drag you all the way here just so you can talk to me! Really?" I laugh bitterly. "No! Thats not it, I wasn't-" "I can't beleive I trusted you! I can't beleive I fucking kissed you! Now I can't stay here! I have to leave." Seven glances at me a bit confused. "What? No! You dont have to leave Six! I only told One, and she said that she wouldn't say anything.. Your secret is still safe!" Seven says. "Seven, im dangerous! Dont you see? I tried to choke Five to death! For no reason! And worst of all, I wasn't myself... Sooner or later, im going to hurt someone else, and the next time it happens, I dont think I'll be able to stop myself.." apon realization, I notice tears begin to roll down my face, suprising me. How long had I been crying..? "Six, I.. Im sorry." Seven says, taking a step forward. "Dont. Fucking. Touch. Me." I say, growling while wiping my face. Seven reaches out to hug me. "I said dont touch me!" I reach my hand out, sending a wave of thin black matter towards Seven, making him fly backwards into the wall. My breath hitches, once I've noticed I knocked him out. My heart hurts as I turn around, looking at the ground. "Im sorry Seven... But I have to go."
